mmmm destructablity (http://uk.xbox360.ign.com/articles/883/883618p1.html)

Opens worlds, blowing buildings up ... awesome.

IGN: How are you upping the ante on destructible environments?

Hague: Destruction in video games is one of the next big frontiers for innovation. Remember 15 to 20 years ago, before the age of 3D acceleration, "3D" games were built out of scaled, two-dimensional sprites and textures? That's what destruction in games is like right now. It's a series of magic tricks like model swapping and particle effects that give the illusion of destruction.

In RFG, all of the destruction is physics based and functions like you would expect in the real world. We model material properties, load-bearing physics, mass, and momentum to model in-game destruction events. Nothing ever crumbles the same way twice, and you really need to experience it in motion to appreciate it.

Sounds awesome. Bad Company's destruction is scripted and sucks.

Second best FPS on the PS2. Hands down.

(first been Timesplitters 2, the coop was legendary)

Red Faction was so kick ass, the game had a very decent length, awesome gameplay and the multiplayer was quite good as well.

Red Faction 2 wasn't as good, the developers sort of took out what Red Faction was about ...

Yeah, but the game is decent enough. Its just they overhyped that shit way too fucking much.

I haven't even heard anything on the game other than a couple of commercials and it is one if not the best reviewed game that doesn't have the initials MGS or GTA in months. And let's just say the destructibility is better than 97% of other games that are out.

What's great is Red Faction's will be much better, and it was fun just digging holes in the levels with the rocket launcher. Will be a game to look out for in the future, especially if it's for the PC and has a good MP.

I loved the old Red Factions, its nice to know that they are making a new one in third person. The destructible environments look really well made already.

Don't forget its open world!!!

Sounds cool, I remember in the first one I was in front of a locked door, I used explosives to blow the wall next to the door..

I liked the previous ones, the multiplayer was the most enjoyable part of both.
