If you've been waiting for the PC version of Red Faction Guerrilla to be released later this year, there's a brand new pre-order available with a real nice gift. By pre-ordering with Impulse, you'll receive not only RFG, but also the original Red Faction and Red Faction 2 as well!
Please note that you will not receive any physical media with this purchase, as it is a digital download only. By getting in on this deal, not only do you get to learn and experience the history of the Red Faction series, but you get three games for the price of one! You can pre-order RFG from Impulse here.
If you're getting close to mining every last piece of ore and tracking those hidden radio tags, fear not! There's more single-player destruction on the way to Red Faction Guerrilla!
We're proud to announce today, the coming of three download packs for RFG. The first of which - "Demons of the Badlands" - will feature a single-player mission arc that takes place in an entirely new Mars landscape outside of the existing expansive world.
"Demons of the Badlands" will be available for download on Xbox® LIVE and PlayStation® Network on August 13th for 800 MS Points or $9.99. We've also provided 5 new screenshots for a hint at what's to come in just a little more than a month. We'll have more details incoming later on, detailing more information on this DLC package and others, so be sure to continue watching this front page.
Only 12 hours left in the contest! You have until 11:59 PM CST tonight (June 30th) to submit your entries.
In order to win, your task is fairly simple. We want you to take household, everyday items, and fashion them into your own custom Sledgehammer. You can use just about anything you want, including normal hammers, but it has to be usable in the sense that you can hold it. This means you can't just lay it on a table and take a picture.
Quick reminder - We have an ongoing contest right now (Create your own sledgehammer) that ends on Tuesday, June 30th. You can read the full details + prizes here. I'm really looking forward to some crazy sledgehammers.
Now onto the meat of this post. Our community has been producing some great videos lately, and I thought I'd share a few of them with everyone. These are in no particular order, but all of them are excellent, so be sure to watch all three. There's plenty more of this in the forums, and we want to see more of your montages in MP, crazy events occurring in the SP campaign, or some over the top WC moments. If you have a great video, be sure to submit it into the "Fan Submissions" section so everyone can view your work.
- First up, Sublime shows off his montage titled "Let's Do This". Featuring some really incredible Railgun shots and a nice Grinder triple-kill in the center, this video shows off his skills in a brand new light. [Original Thread]
- Next, JammyJay presents his MP montage, titled "Showdown". If you want to see some great shots with the Grinder, look no further. [Original Thread]
- Last but not least, iBoink presents his "Minitage", showcasing "...about 50% sniper kills (rail driver and sniper rifle) and about 50% regular gun kills...". [Original Thread]
Finally, for those of you still playing the MP demo (we already removed the ability to download it), we will be turning off all connectivity to it on Monday at Noon PST. If you haven't bought the game yet, now's a great time!
"Parker, Mars – EDF security officers are on the lookout for a vigilante they blame for a recent wave of violence and dozens of acts of sabotage throughout the mining sector of Parker. The suspect has been identified as Alec Mason, an immigrant salvage worker with alleged ties to the terrorist group Red Faction. Authorities warned that Mason is armed and a highly unstable individual. If spotted he should be reported to your local curfew officer or security detail. He should not be approached.
An EDF officer who has witnessed firsthand the fugitive’s handiwork, spoke on the condition of anonymity. “This guy shows up on a transport last week and almost immediately starts a guerrilla campaign against the free people of Mars. An EDF detail stopped him for a routine security screening and the guy goes ape shit, spouting off about his rights and some brother of his. They asked him for his papers and tried to talk some sense into him, when he pulls out the biggest sledgehammer you’ve ever seen and starts swinging. The order came down to pacify him when all of the sudden..."
Area 5 is the collaboration from some of the original 1UP Show members from 1UP.com. Their first original show is CO-OP, a weekly look at the meaningful, the important, the interesting, or the just plain fun games that are out there or will be coming out.
You may remember a few weeks back they did a small piece on our SP Demo, and were enthralled by it. This week, they dive into the full game for an extended look. Their text below about the episode:
"Finally, in what may be one of the biggest surprises of the year (so far), Red Faction: Guerrilla adds two parts jammazing to one heaping gallon of explosion-sauce to create what Matt, John Davison (What They Play), and (rounding out the RebelFM/Eat-Sleep-Game cast) Arthur Geis agree to be a recipe for a game so fun it's difficult to do it justice in one, brief segment. Yes, I'm biased since this one is my personal favorite, but I'd say that if you can only get one of these games, this is the one to choose."
Pay close attention to the end of the video, since we may just have to put that quote on the box. You can watch the entire RFG segment below.
