Red Faction Armageddon Trailer; Kenny shits himself laughing.
Author: Morse Pacific | Filed under: Arts
Hi, I’m MorsePacific, the previously unknown and entirely useless video game correspondent. Here’s where I start doing things and Zachy puts them up ‘cause he loves me. In a glimpse of THQ’s batshit lunacy, they’ve released the trailer for the next game in the Red Faction series, Red Faction: Armageddon. The big change…is Red Faction’s sudden development of what I call “Indigo Prophecy Syndrome”. Yup, there’s a cult. Trailer after the jump.
Using the sandbox style that every person who ever played a game ever is now currently creaming themselves over, Armageddon works a lot like Red Faction: Guerilla. Except instead of some guy who looks vaguely like Nico Bellick with a really big hammer, you get a guy who looks vaguely like Cole McGrath fighting things underground with lots of big pew pew guns.
According to pre-release doodads, some kind of crazy cult forced the people of Mars underground and now there are zombies or aliens or alien zombies. I’m unsure of whether THQ is trying to cash in on Dead Space’s faux-success or if they really just want to lose as much money as humanly possible on one game, but this seems like a bad idea.
Meanwhile, you should all be playing a good THQ game like METRO 2033. It’s good until the flashbacks, yeah.

Random Thoughts:
Guerilla was fun because of the Hammer and the C4.
Dead Space was fun because it was basically
Metroid Evil Prime 4: Curbstomp Edition.
This, This does not look like fun. For either of the reasons above are not featured in the trailer.
