Dead Faction: Why Red Faction Shouldn't Have Been a Franchise

GP Blogger, Standard Minion writes, "Yeah, you’ve already heard about it by now: the Red Faction series had its plug pulled by THQ about two weeks back now. The move was made in response to 'disappointing' sales of Red Faction: Armageddon, the latest iteration in the franchise.

Having been an enormous fan of Red Faction: Guerrilla, my immediate response was typical: kneejerk embittered nerd rage. As I got to thinking about the move, however, and the fact that I wouldn’t see a Red Faction title for (at the very least) a long, long time, I began to consider what exactly constitutes a Red Faction game."

i loved guerrilla but Armageddon did not fulfill the promise of returning to the origins but didnt and the series really became disappointing at the end im just gonna wait untill a reboot comes on the way from a devoted team.

Well Armageddon also killed the multiplayer component. If players love your MP mode and doen't expect a perfect story from you why would you kill what they love? Makes no sense to me. I was very hyped for Armegeddon until I heard that there was no mutliplayer match type like what was in Guerrilla. So I didn't buy it.

the single player wasnt so big to me either

I was the total opposite mate, I hated Guerrila but loved Armageddon.

Geurilla was awesome. I dont understand why they didnt just build on that and made Guerilla 2. That wouldve sold a heck of a lot more than Armageddon

Devs like the whole hire a new team for new project idea for some reason. Always flops when this happens though because the direction makes a very clear and hard shift into a new direction.

Red Faction 1 and Red faction 2 on the ps2 were amazing, First person shooters, both we great storys, Both with an amazing destruction system for their time.

Red faction guerilla and armageddon were third person shooters with hardly any story and a unrealistic destruction system.

If THQ had continued making Red faction 1st person shooters with good storys it think RF could have been a huge franchise.

Red Faction 2 IMO was the best First person shooter on the PS2

Multiplayer + bots showed that Volition clearly had the talent for a good multiplayer game too. Too bad, its over.

omi25p5070d ago

The bot ai in RF2 was brilliant. The map layout and game modes were pretty good as well.

the destruction was good and being real time was pretty good
