Part 3 will be an interview with J Goldberg at Volition, covering new and previously unreleased information on Red Faction: Armageddon.
Today publisher Deep Silver took to X (formerly Twitter) to follow up on the announcement of the closure of Saints Row developer Volition.
Who knows...maybe we see a remastered SR2 after all and a new studio that makes good SR games again. Still..thanks a ton Volition for the excellent Punisher Video game
We will keep making money off of these by giving them to new teams with zero experience with them.
I'd love another Saints Row game but I can't see it happening after the response to the reboot.
I enjoyed the Saints Row reboot and i hope we see more titles in the franchise.
I'm very happy to know the SR and RF franchises won't die. RF was a revolutionly fps at the time and loved the 4 og SR games.
The developer of Saints Row is closing it doors this week.
Kind of sucks, but to be understood. I feel bad for the talent there who fall due to the decisions of the few and not because they aren't good at what they do.Hope those who deserve it land safely with other teams.
It was a shell since most of the original developers left years ago. They haven't made a good game in 10 years imo.
It still sucks though. R.I.P.
It's a shame for people to loose their jobs but these guys did make fun of gamers for pointing out how bad this looked rather than taking criticism on board.
What the hell were these guys thinking
They didn't just ruin their studio they literally tanked a franchise.
TheGamer Writes "No more nerdy or serious games set on the Red Planet, send me back to that destructive sandbox."
It would be a perfect time with the huge leap in cpu power these consoles have over previous generations
Yes please. Guerilla was a great game. The destruction in that game is still better than most. Maybe Volition can go back to it and let Saints Row rest for a while.
Yes! More players young and old need to play and respect the franchise that literally invented destructible environments!
Would love a REAL Red Faction 4 (the one Volition REALLY wanted to make and not Armageddon) or a Red Faction 1 remake.
Would love to see some Blu-ray love by Volition putting HD ports of Red Faction 1&2 on the Red Faction: Armageddon disc!...Alas tis just a dream.
Well I will be interviewing one of them next week, I will ask if there is any chance of a special edition containing the originals as well. Though you can get them on Steam pretty cheap. But I doubt they have the time or manpower right now to have folks rework them with HD textures, etc... while they are busy with Armageddon.
On a side note, the original article on the SideWinder blog is now also featured on Volitions Red Faction community site. http://community.redfaction... Where J Goldberg also mentions the upcoming Interview that will be in part 3 of the article series.
