I’ll always remember that magical summer season of 2009 when everybody went round smashing buildings to items with an ostrich-shaped hammer. Well, the noughties are again in style, child, and Red Faction Guerrilla is again too. Volition’s smashtastic shooter is being snazzed up just a little for a re-release as the brand new Re-Mars-tered version, publishers THQ Nordic introduced immediately. They put the hyphens there to focus on the wordplay, not me. Re-Mars-tered may have fancier graphics and, they inform me, will come as a free improve for individuals who personal the unique on Steam.
Red Faction Guerrilla is, I’m informed, a third-person shooter about revolution on a Martian mining colony. I don’t bear in mind a lot of that as a result of I used to be too busy smashing ranges to items. While the primary Red Factions had destructible terrain, Guerrilla goes for destructible buildings as an alternative, letting us drive by way of buildings, blow up bridges, demolish homes with a mech, and customarily be a chuffing nuisance. See Karen Gillan’s review for extra on all that.
THQ Nordic clarify that the Re-Mars-tered Edition will boast “heavily reworked textures and graphic features adding for example specular maps,” improved shadow rendering and lighting, reworked shaders and postprocessing, and native 4K decision assist.
All that is coming our manner as a side-effect of them releasing the sport on Xbone and PS4. While their official announcement doesn’t point out it, I did ask their PR peeps they usually did inform me it’s a free improve for present Steam homeowners.
Red Faction Guerrilla Re-Mars-tered is because of launch by the top of June.
THQ Nordic have been pretty accountable stewards since shopping for THQ’s title (they had been previously Nordic Games) and plenty of of their video games because the writer collapsed. They’ve patched Guerrilla a good few instances and most lately in February, have been fixing and improving Titan Quest for years and launched a new expansion, have lastly obtained Darksiders 3 began and touched the outdated video games up just a little, and customarily finished their finest to fake they’re THQ. They don’t have the identical eye for brand spanking new video games however they’re taking good care of the outdated.
See you, house asshole.
