First-Person Shooter that Empowered Gamers to Modify Their Game World Available Now
The lovely folks at THQ Nordic today announced that Red Faction, critically acclaimed for its GeoMod engine, has been emulated for the PS4 computer entertainment system and is now available for download for $14.99.
When Red Faction made its debut on PS2 in 2001, it quickly won over discerning shooter fans eager to blow up their game environment, in real-time, ultimately changing their overall game experience.
I had the original title on both PC and later PS2 (I liked it that much) and still remember spending so much time just marveling over the GeoMod tech that the game employed. Even with so many titles in the series releasing since, none ever really managed to capture that initial feeling. Here’s hoping things are still just as fun a second time around because I’m ready to get my ass back to Mars!
In Red Faction, a revolution has begun on Mars, and you are at the forefront. As part of a rebellious organization known as Red Faction, you must battle through 20 levels that feature deep seas, natural caves, Ultor Corporation’s bases, and more. Hijack five land, sea, and air vehicles-each equipped with weapons-including an ATV, a submarine, and a high-flying fighter. Help yourself to 15 weapons of mass destruction, such as railguns, rocket launchers, riot sticks, and heavy explosives. Stealth, cooperation, and action are all important to achieve success.
“Playing Red Faction for the first time is one of my favorite memories on ‘PlayStation 2’,” said Reinhard Pollice, Business and Product Development Director at THQ Nordic. “The team at THQ Nordic is thrilled to be able to share that experience with a whole new generation of players on ‘PlayStation 4’. Ripping a hole through the surface of Mars to access a hidden tunnel for a surprise takedown is about as satisfying as a shooter can get!”
