Ugh, the first Red Faction was an amazing game, and to me is more fun than Half Life. The sequel was not nearly as good, but I still played through it.

The first game was just pure awesome. I doubt this guy even played through it. I for one am disappointed in the change this game has taken. When RF first released, all I could think was ‘holy **** these Volition guys really have something here’. I thought about how amazing RF could be in the future. Too bad it never materialized the way I thought it would.

RF is an awesome game, and I highly recommend everyone check it out. It is all played out in the first person perspective, like Half Life, with no ‘levels’, just short load times, and then you continue on. Not only that, but it is one of those games where you think you are at the end, then it turns upside down and continues for a little while.

I love RF. My first experience with it was on the PS2, but I have played the PC version and it is great as well.

“Rather than doing it internally, they’ve got an external team working solely on it.”
Which is the same thing they did with Saints Row 2. Hopefully it’s a different team this time.

I have looked around alot, and researched the subject of PhsyX a few days ago.
I forget the details, but I think I confirmed that PhysX acceleration would work in this game. It has to do with CUDA I think…
The 8600GTS also obviously can run PhsyX. On its own just to run PhysX, it is more than enough for any game I have to assume. It can handle Crysis on medium, afterall.

Looking forward to pirating this. Volition burned their credibility with my wallet after Saints Row 2.

@Sinister Agent
My little brother used to play the second one on GameCube a lot. He quite liked the multiplayer. I never really tried it though.

Volition do not understand PC Gamers.

@malkav11;

The overwhelming response to the April Fools video of it spawned an entry on the RFU blog, saying that they intend to keep/ship the Ostrich Hammer as an unlockable for the sledgehammer.

I quote;

“We had no idea the reaction to the video would be so positive and that gamers would really like to kill someone with a very large bird.”

Saints Row 2 isn’t precisely a shining example for Volition. The PC port was such an enormous turd that I’ll certainly wait for comments and reviews before even thinking of buying this.

The best thing about the original was attaching the demo packs to people, who would then run acround howling in a panic, while their nearby friend tried to helpfully shoot it off them, and succeeded only in setting the thing off and killing them both. Yes. It was merely average though, despite some nice moments here and there. I don’t think I’ve ever met anyone who played the second.

Capcom delegated the PC version of Resident Evil 4 to Ubisoft… we all know how that turned out >_>

Didn’t play the PC version, but saw it running – it’s going to be a month or two behind the console release. They made noises about wanting it to be a good port. Rather than doing it internally, they’ve got an external team working solely on it.
