THQ Nordic have given more details about an upcoming remastered edition of the brilliant Red Faction Guerilla!
I loved Red Faction Guerilla when it first came out years ago. It was a great open world game set on Mars with some of the best destruction physics I have seen in a game. I really enjoyed exploring Mars in a whole range of vehicles and using a great variety of awesome weapons. The ‘Re-Mars-tered’ edition has been heavily upgraded compared to the original game and will be able to run at 60 fps. The game is said to have improved shadow rendering, improved lighting, improved shaders and postprocessing and more!
Here is the official synopsis for this Remastered Edition:
“Set 50 years after the climactic events of the original Red Faction, Red Faction: Guerrilla allows players to take the role of an insurgent fighter with the newly re-established Red Faction movement as they battle for liberation from the oppressive Earth Defense Force. Red Faction: Guerrilla still defines the limits of destruction-based game-play with a huge open-world, fast-paced guerrilla-style combat, and true physics-based destruction.”
Check out this awesome trailer to see why this is such a fun game:
Features
- Open World Guerrilla Warfare – You decide who, when, where and how to battle. Utilize guerrilla tactics, improvised weaponry, and modified vehicles to lead insurgent attacks on EDF targets. Launch attacks based on your own gameplay style, take on missions in any order you choose, or engage in destructive activities to weaken the EDF’s grip on Mars.
- Strategic Destruction – Use destruction to your tactical advantage, setting ambushes or chain reaction explosions to attack enemy strongholds and permanently modify the game environment. Leverage fully-dynamic physics-based destruction to improvise on the fly: blow holes in a wall or floor to set an ambush or escape, take out a staircase to stop your pursuers, or drive vehicles through blown out walls.
- Evolving & Emergent Gameplay – Carve your path through an ever-changing landscape as you improvise your combat tactics – mixing gameplay styles, vehicles, weapons and explosives to defeat the EDF.
- Epic Sci-Fi Setting – Explore the huge, unforgiving Martian landscape, from the desolate mining outpost of Parker to the gleaming EDF capital city of Eos; then tear through the fully destructible open-world environments swarming with EDF forces, Red Faction resistance fighters, and the downtrodden settlers caught in the cross-fire.
- Multiplayer Combat – There is no place to hide when you put your guerrilla warfare skills to the test in a variety of highly destructive multiplayer combat modes.
THQ Nordic also stated that the game will have full 4K resolution support on PS4 Pro and Xbox One X as well as on powerful PC’s!
(Speaking of PC; if you already own the original version of the game on Steam, you will automatically receive the Remastered edition for FREE!!)
