Red Faction

[Evo]

Sorry, if something like this has been posted before, but oh well :burp:

Who here played the Red Faction series? I loved 'em both, specially with the Geo-Mod feauture which i would love to see in new games. Imo the first was better, it had a better way of telling the story, like Half-Life by using different chpaters.

Anyone know if there is a new one in the pipeworks?

 

[Ennui]

i remember reading about it back in the day but never got it.

 

[KoreBolteR]

i played it!, used to play my mate in 2 player for ps2 on the widescreen tv, they were the days.

 

[qckbeam]

Red Faction was awesome. The geomod stuff, although unrealistic, was great fun to play with.

 

[Dog--]

I still play Red Fraction 2 with my friend, we do deathmatch with me vs him vs 4 bots, the best feature about this game is that you can blow holes through the walls as deep as you want, I like to shoot holes in the walls with the rocket launcher and hide in them, and then when someone comes by, BAM! right in the head with the sniper rifle , it's kinda cheap, but hey, I win that way

 

[Evo]

I loved the multiplayer level with two giant towers opposite each other and making a tunnel from one to the other. Good times indeed

 

[Spectre01]

I played a few levels at a freind's house a while back. Is that where you can blow up walls?

 

[Ennui]

yeah, innovative geomod tech was all over the mags for a while back then... when i actually read console mags...

 

[KoreBolteR]

yeah thats the best thing about this game!! blowing up walls!

 

[Evo]

lol, yeah consoles are old news for me, their mags even older. PCG UK ftw!

just remembered never actually got round to finishing, someone wana pm me the ending?

 

[Somefool]

I love the first one, the second one didn't seem as destroyable as the first. Multiplayer was fun, wrecking a level completely.

 

[KoreBolteR]

evo i used to play ps2 all the time, but since pcg ive gone off it.

i dont even think ill buy ps3 or xbox 360...

 

[KagePrototype]

The DM is fun on PS2.

 

[chu]

So much for geo-mod tech nowadays.

omg cept being in MyNations, Welsh we are also linked by leaving the PS2 and reading PCG!! is this more than just coincidence? i think not... :dozey:

would buy PS3 or X-Box 360 if i had the spare cash, but alas, not goin to happen

If there was Geo-Mod in Games like HL2 or CS That would be frickin wicked, I mean c'mon, It's only another month of programming, It's cool to blow holes in stuff and stuff.

 

[Jimmeh]

Red Faction was pretty kick ass with a few mates. I remember the level with the opposite forts, with the heavy MG on the roof, and that quality laser gun which could see and shoot through walls !

And of course trying to tunnel your way from one base to another. I think more games should have that sort of technology, in RF if you were hiding behind a wall, your mate could just blow that wall away with a rocket, but in most games today a person can hide behind a shed and a rocket will barely leave a mark.

 

[Evo]

yeah, games say they're all for realism, but where is the realism when buildings are undamaged after artillery in BF2 or nading a shed in CS:S?

Petition to re introduce Geo-Mod style technology-1 Sign, Evo

 

[Vigilante]

I played the first...I loved making tunnels in that game.

 

[chu]

I remember playing with the demo for the Geo-mod for hours.

Or another year. It's complicated stuff and very unrealistic.

 

[Sparta]

Geo-mod = Cool

Red Faction = Lame

Geo-mod + Red Faction MP = Fun

 

[ailevation]

How is a rocket colliding to the ground and making a crater in it unrealistic? It's what the Geo-Mod would do.

Just a side comment...

In CS:S you are able to destroy tables and chairs, but in DE_DUST you can't do that to those wooden baskets... what gives!? They should make those boxes destructable too, by like grenades or something.

it made like sphere indentations... no terrain or building variations, etc

Oh yeah... that's right, I remember blowing up the walls with the C4 charges... it really did look like it made a dent instead of blowing out chunks of rock.

Well, if not Geo Mod, then the concept of more destructable objects.

 

[ríomhaire]

1 is better than 2 alright.I remember just how awed I was with geo-mod especialy in one part where I couldn't find the button to open a door so I blew a tunel around it.

 

[Asknoone]

I love both.

 

[ríomhaire]

Oh, I just remembered. Why does RF always get credited with inventing geo-mod. It didn't, Worms did!

 

[Garfield_]

Played it on PC and its a great game, i love that you can use the C4 to destroy almost everything and make really deep holes in the rock

Red Faction 1 was an amazing game. It was the first TRUE FPS i'd ever played, and i've been hooked on the genre ever since.

Red Faction 2 was a horrible game by the first's standards. It was a merely OK game by itself, but compared to the first, it was horrible.

RF2 had an awesome multiplayer though. I still get together with friends and have RF2 deathmatches.

Walking through a corridoor, BWAZOW!

"HOLY SHIT! James, is that you trying to railgun me?"

BWAZOW!

"maybe"

BWAZOW!

"OMFG you suck with the railgun! TINGLE MODE!"

BWAZOW!

"STOP JUMPING AROUND YOU IDIOT!"

"I can't, i'm in tingle mode!"

"Hey, this bot won't leave me alone!"

"shut the **** up Andrew, you just suck"

*James blows Andrews torso off with a GL"


OH! And nextime you're playing "warlords" in RF2, take the GL or another rocket launcher, and launch maybe five up into the sky around nomans land, then run back to your base.

It's so kickass to watch your missiles rain back down to earth, like meteorites, and decimate everything not indoors.

The term 'lol' comes to mind

Worms may have started the destruction of scenary but wasn't 3D, Red Faction made it unbelievably cool :afro:

And then Worms 3 mad in unbelievably crap, such a disapointment.

As soon as it went 3D i went off the Worms series, the first was the best "I'll get you!" "Kamikazieeee" ah, the memories. :dork:

On-Topic, isn't the Geo-Mond tech licensed to THQ who made it? If so other devlopers would have to pay to use it or create their own...

 

[ríomhaire]

I hope a new game comes out

Spoiler

WORMS 2D!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now that would rock.

OMG!! that would be soooo awesome lol

when's it realesed?!?! :cheese:

 

[Loke]

Red Faction rocked hardcore, I remember when I first played it on PS2... wish I could go back in time.

Some of the guns were absolute wicked, like the Rail gun and the Fusion rocket launcher (like a mini-nuclear weapon ffs!).
I liked the vehicles too, shame thought that you only drove ONE of those APC's later in the game, I loved them.

 

[Evo]

Fusion Rocket Launcher=Kicks every other weapon in any game ass

There was too much vehicle stuff in RF2 imo, not enough in RF1. I want more RF!!!

 

[ríomhaire]

I remember my brother and I used to play RF on the PS2 head to head on that map with the 2 forts with fision rockets on the roofs. We used to just blow eachother's bases to shit and and shoot eachother through the big holes in the walls.

 

[Evo]

I loved building a hole in the cliff, or on other maps in a wall, hiding in there with the Rail Gun the shot through walls and just pwning

One time I did that over and over whilst playing against my friend, who ultimately got so annoyed he threw his chips at me and the screen
