Red Faction: Guerrilla is an open world third-person shooter video game in development by Volition, Inc. and published by THQ, set to be released at the end of June 2009. The game is the third installment in the Red Faction series.





Plot

Red Faction: Guerrilla takes place in 2208, 50 years after the events of the first Red Faction, and about 45 years after the events of Red Faction II. The Earth Defense Force, or EDF (the allies in the first Red Faction), has changed. It has become an organization that kidnaps people and puts them in forced work camps for their own profit. The EDF is the main antagonist of Guerrilla.

This time around, players assume the character of Alec Mason, a miner turned rebel against the EDF. Alec is seen wearing a green army jacket and cargo pants. He is a man of unknown background but has gotten into the war against the EDF because of his brother’s murder and has become a part in the newly re-formed Red Faction.

Rick White revealed that most of the game will take place on the terraformed surface of Mars, with some parts in other places such as the Ultor labs to pay homage to the first Red Faction. Not much else is known of the game’s plot.





Gameplay


The most interesting aspect of Red Faction: Guerrilla's gameplay is the destruction mechanic. Everything in the game is able to be leveled to the ground. See an EDF stronghold suspended from a cliff? Take out the supports and the stress system built into the game will have it rolling down the cliff in a matter of seconds.


With a huge emphasis placed on the destructibility of, well, everything, Volition has made sure to include a plethora of weapons and vehicles to assist you.
The game's signature weapon is none other than the sledgehammer. Used by the miners, this weapon has infinite ammo and is great for taking out key parts of a structure. Explosive charges work similar to grenades. Throw one down and it will attach to any surface. Walls, ceilings, vehicles, even EDF soldiers.


Volition wanted to make a game that really was a sandbox world. When missions are assigned to you, you are given the target and it's location, and the rest is up to you. If there is an EDF executive in the 15th floor of an office building, take him out by any means necesary. Gun your way up to the 15th floor, run a truck off a cliff and smash through the walls, or even take out just a few main supports to send the building falling to the ground. Play it your way.







Multiplayer


The multiplayer of RF:G incorporates the same level of destruction as the single player campaign. There are your traditional modes of play, but many of them have their own Red Faction twist. Take the King of the Hill variant for example. There are certain locations your team must control for a steady stream of points. However, the twist is that your team must detroy these marked structures by any means necesary, and then rebuild it using a sort of reassimilation ray gun.
The game supports a pick up weapon system, similar to Halo's gameplay. But, what RF manages to do differently is incorporate the use of Backpacks. Backpacks are found at terminals located throughout the maps (Which the game will ship with 20 multiplayer maps), and each one has a different perk that corresponds to it. These backpacks include:


The Jetpack
Exactly what you would expect. Allows you to fly through the air and rain down revenge on your enemies.


Fleetfoot
This backpack will allow your character to run at drastically increased speed for a few seconds, allowing you to get up close and personal with your sledgehammer.


Rhino
Encompasses the player with a shield and propels them forward with great force. Nothing will stand in your way... atleast, not for long.


Thrust
This backpack will allow you to ascend or descend with great force. Good to use when an enemy is on a floor beneath you.


Concussion
Emits a stong concussive force outward from the player and will deflect incoming debree, as well as enemy players. Great for when those buildings come falling down on you.


Tremor
Frankly my personal favorite, the Tremor Backpack will cause the ground to shake violently around the player. Bring skyscrapers down in seconds.


Firepower
Increases damage output.


Heal
Quickly regenerate your health and the health of nearby teammates.


Stealth
Player becomes tansparent for a short while.


Vision
Gives the player X-ray vision. No one will be able to hide.



Wrecking Crew


Wrecking crew is a hotseat local multiplayer set of gametypes that those who don't have internet access can use to still enjoy the game with friends. Game modes feature destroying more than your opponents within a set time with unlimited ammo to shooting barrels for points.


Overall, Red Faction Guerrilla looks like a fun open world game that lets you play however you want. The destruction mechanic will make very interesting gameplay, and the huge scale of somethings just astound me. I've already reserved it, and cannot wait to play it.





The demo will be released on Xbox Live Marketplace and as download on the PS3 for those who have preordered it from April 3rd to April 23rd. The demo that will be available to everyone will be released April 23rd.



I had many videos and pictures in the original post on another forum, but they don't seem to be working here. Please, just watch some videos on the gameplay, and I promise you will not be disappointed.

Aargh, 17% more until the demo is done downloaded. I shall post my opinion on it when I play it. Otherwise the game looks freakin' awesome.
