THQ Says: We Love Gears, But They Should Worry About Red Faction Armageddon. The Hype Is Real

1. Master Chief Getting A Redesign
2. THQ Guest Stars On HHGS
3. LBP2 - 10/10
4. Sony producing a new fighting game similiar to smash bros, very interesting

[Hitman0769]

I feel like Uncharted is good competition for Gears but they say they can even go after COD which will be amazing.

I loved Red Faction series especially part 1 very much. Even though it was before the era of online console gaming it was so amazing I played the multiplayer over and over and over!! Great story too.

Seriously would love to see Red Faction take the industry by storm again like it did back in the day.

[FinalSpartan]

GEARS OF WAR 3 JUST GOING TO OWN BIG TIME.

Everyone knows how great it is.

[The real killer]

It's just shoot-cover-shoot-cover and shoot game, Nothing special to me.

And i think it will not own big time, from waht i have seen, it look just as Gears 2.

Well, for the rest i will wait for that.

[mrcash]

lol the same can be said about UC, but they are both amazing in their own ways.

[peowpeow]

Again, people over-simplifying games to make them look bad. Every game can be reduced to so and so like that..

Also there's a big graphical leap in Gears 2 v Gears 3 from what I've seen

[antz1104]

True, but if Red Faction Armaggeddon is anything like Guerrilla but improved upon (like its supposed to be), this game will TAKE OFF.

Especially since THQ learned from their mistakes and said themselves they under-marketed RFG big time.

[Inside_out]

I have my opinions about Red Faction Guerrilla, but that interview, Hips antics aside, told me what I wanted to here.

The lighting in the first game was brutal with launch title written all over it. The physics on the other hand were easily some of the best use of the Havok engine ever. Many times while playing some of the driving segments I thought I was in a mad max movie. Get the demo, it's better than the game...lol.

Game play wise, it was unbearable. The repetitiveness of the game play just ruined the whole experience...sad since it had alot of potential.

So, they have improved the lighting and seem to have gone with a third person action type of format and that is the best thing they could of done IMO.

Can't wait to see some in depth game play.

BTW...nothing is gonna get close to GEARS...lol...No game is doing what that game is doing...PERIOD. E3 will demonstrate that loud and clear.

@Atielite below... Halo Reach, while ignored by the gaming voting media this year, was one of the best Halo and game over all this year, this gen and in the history of gaming. Gamers vote with there wallets and with the time they spend on line...Halo is up there with the best of them...ON ANY PLATFORM...even tho it's exclusive to one.

[Kurt Russell]

I love the Gears series, and if the next Red Faction trumps it, then I am sure I will love that too. The MP on Red Faction Guerilla was loads of fun!

Uncharted is again one of my favourite franchises (maybe I am just a 3rd person nerd) but I have never compared it with Gears, more something like Tomb Raider - I find it odd that people seem to find it the same as chainsawing the guts out of things.

Regardless, those who are poo poo'ing before even playing - stop fucking about and give it a try! It'll give you big massive balls!

[ATiElite]

360 Gears of War 3 will destroy Halo once and for all and bring HARDCORE gamers back to the 360. ALL HAIL the real 360 FLAGSHIP TITLE.

PS3 Uncharted 3 will co-dominate with Killzone 3 a list of awesome exclusives making all PS3 gamers dirt broke. Crime increases in 2011 as well as PS3 gamers result to Whatever to get money for all the games.

PC 2011 The return to greatness as DICE kills DX9 (Enthusiast PC gamers celebrate buy burning 8800 gtx in the streets) plus Guild Wars 2, Rift, Tera, and Star Wars The Old Republic take turns bringing down the mighty World of Warcraft as Yoda would say...."Thus the MMO wars have begun".

[Spinal]

LOL Well said mate. I cant wait for all the titles you mentioned except Rift an TERA. And you left out Diablo 3 how dare you! :)

[Psychotica]

Yes, for frig sake kill of DX9!

[deadreckoning666]

I agree that the Uncharted franchise gives the Gears franchise incentive to improve...but neither games are a threat to each other IMO considering that Gears 3 is for Gears fans at this point. Gears fans will get Gears 3 regardless of whatever else comes out.

Red Faction is a TOTALLY different beast since it emphasizes unique weapons and destruction.

@hiphop- Can u try to do something about making ur shows viewable via the PS3's web browser? I'd appreciate it.

[egm_hiphopgamer]

I'll try @deadreckoning thanks for checking out the show god bless you man peace

[NYC_Gamer]

THQ,should worry about bringing us more quality.

[Blaze929]

lmao this^

[Kon]

that ^

[sher00win99]

those^

[DlocDaBudSmoka]

these^

[jeseth]

them there?

[LunaticBrandon]

Metro 2033, STALKER and Dawn of War are all great games. All published by THQ.

[vishant101]

all great games but nothing special

[AntoineDcoolette]

^ are there any other solid Warhammer 40k vidya games or open world survivalist FPS with RPG and horror elements

[Angels3785]

Homefront looks promising as well.

[evrfighter]

don't like adding to chains but ^^^^^ that.

[thedudeftw]

Zing!

[gamerzBEreal17]

i hated the last red faction it was like a 5/10 imo
and gears being a AAA franchise i dont see how the next red faction will be a threat to in any way i know the older red factions were great but times change

[palaeomerus]

I thought Red Faction: Guerrilla was a hell of a lot of fun. The new one seems to be more of an over the shoulder type game like RE:4 and Gear though.

Gears is a much higher profile series though.

[Coffin87]

I didn't play Guerilla, but RF1 and RF2 on PS1+2 were great, great fun. Two of the best Ego-Shooters on the systems imo.
Splitscreen Deathmath modes with Bots were awesome. Some of the best PlayStation memories I have because of the two games.

Sadly, what we see today has nothing to do with the old games.
But I guess this is another chance for THQ to prove themselves. I just hope they don't totally rape the old franchise..

[Ares84PS3]

With a title like this...who else would had it been? Ofcourse it's HHG.

[Joni-Ice]

And your point?

[huzzaahh]

His point is that it's nonsensical and ridiculous.

[Joni-Ice]

@ huzzaahh, if thats what he meant then 90% of articles on N4G are the same. For him to call it out is irrelevant.

[palaeomerus]

Irrelevant to the people riding HHG's nutz maybe...

[Coffin87]

lol dude you just don't get it.. give it up.

[vishant101]

who thought the video was to long

[palaeomerus]

Uh......SON!

[MysticStrummer]

What hype? The last Red Faction was good but not great. Gears will sell better regardless of it's quality.

[jeseth]

Agreed. Like COD.

However I think Gears 3 will be excellent AND sell very well,

[dtrain21]

GeOW 3 is a beast. It will play better, more fun, insane multi-player. Epic is not worried, only ThQ should be worried.

[Trytobee1]

It's GOW3

;-)

[Darth Stewie]

The interview confirmed THQ are in bed with Micro$oft right now just look at the background.

[SuicideShaun]

I hate watching this hiphopgamer guy. I just think they way he talks to them and acts ridiculous is a little crazy.

[R2D2]

Its called being black in America - yo whaz up vanilla face.

[BigPappaPump]

I don't know what's more irritating R2, your ignorance or your stupidity.

[SuicideShaun]

No, it's just a stupid way of life. The whole "rap" style isn't only black people. Race means nothing. Just the way he talks about things just annoys me.

[Joni-Ice]

Damn did he put a gun to ur head to make you watch it?
The sad part is you click the article to comment. If you dont like HHG, it keep it moving. Dont even show up here. Get out! We should not see you again.

[SuicideShaun]

You do realize that I could say the same to you right? I mean did I put a gun to your head and make you read my comment and reply? and so on.

Think young grasshopper.

[Darth Stewie]

Great episode by HHG!

[TardcoreGamer]

I was thinking the same thing today when playing LBP2 that it may be the greatest console game ever released. from a "something for everyone" viewpoint and the fact that its nearly infinite.

[LMS]

ummmm

after guerilla...no...i doubt they are worried at all

[vgcgames]

THQ has taken things a step higher with this one, I believe its going to challenge a lot of games. not just gears Uncharted 3, now that's going to blow away everything.

[ME1989]

I knew this was a HHG "article".

For the love of everyone's sanity, STOP POSTING BULLSHIT! Yo

[huzzaahh]

As much as I hate HHG's amateurish reporting, he is actually right about his predictions and inside info most of the time.

[Agheil]

Gears, king of tps, not even uncharted trumps the game. Lol what s up wit all these haters nothin else to do but hate on a guy liven his life doin wat he loves, damn

[zero_cool]

This game at least deserves a 8.5 & nothing less & is a really great series that's a blast to play start to finish.

[Trytobee1]

Uncharted3 vs Gears3 for 2011

I say Gears 3 .... but that's cause Gears is my fav franchise now (and I only own a 360)

[zero_cool]

Uncharted is a triple a series that is more then just a standard tps series.Uncharted employs a solid balance of the standard tps elements & implements platforming & puzzle solving as well so you gotta think on your feet & make smart judgments.

[spike]

I say Gears 3. Just because i don't like the multiplayer in Uncharted. Single player Uncharted all the way.

[TreMillz]

and you enjoyed the multiplayer in Gears? is that even possible?

[SpaceSquirrel]

Great to see LBP2 getting another perfect score

[poe]

We all need uplifting god bless everyone ill kick you in the face and make you shit out your teeth. Yup thats about as coherent as the rest of the garbage that this guys put out to the world.

[commander]

Red Faction- An unpopular game franchise that should have died years ago but THQ is to dumb.

THQ stick to your garbage wrestling games and please go bankrupt.

[Masterchef2007]

I admit i loved the first red faction but after that they were all pretty average.

[gypsygib]

HAHAHAHAHAHA

oh he was serious.

[Tzuno]

Ahahahahhhhhhhhhh!!! you gotta be kidding when THQ has released a good game???? THQ go to sleep.

[tdinc]

first off,,once again we have HHG making shit up and N4G accepts this as news? grow up and be a man HHG,lose your embarrassing wrestling belt and go back to your mammas basement.

now, look at all the xbots jacking off to Gears,,,,its all that have left on that useless 360.... go away already......

WORD

[Bonerboy]

Cant stand this guy. Annoying twat. Ah-ite...like...yeeeuh...like. ..Ah-ite yo

...Twat I say!

[Chaos23]

did u even watch it .... his title was right. the THQ guy did say that ..
