You can stop pursuers by blowing up a bridge as you pass it, or even level an entire building to kill all of the troops inside. Height is also of little concern-if an enemy sniper is perched on a building, you can easily destroy the floor underneath him. Cover, for example, is at best a temporary haven for you and your enemies, since all walls can be demolished. The realistic nature of this rampant destructibility is the standout feature of Guerrilla, and it will affect many of your gameplay decisions. All of this destruction is performed in real time, which means no structure collapses in the same way. So to demolish a small building, you needn't take out all its walls-simply identify its support columns, take those out with charges, and watch the whole thing implode. Everything from smokestacks to bridges appears to have been built with real-world engineering principles in mind, and you can see the various supports and reinforcements in their design. Any man-made object can be reduced to rubble, and every structure or vehicle-and every one of its parts-features its own unique physical properties. The game ditches the deformable landscapes that were a staple of its predecessors and instead offers the ability to blow apart anything in the game. Red Faction: Armageddon is coming to Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC on May 31, 2011.Mayhem is built into Guerrilla's DNA, and its impressive physics engine realistically showcases destruction on a massive scale. From what I can tell so far, Volition seems to be focusing on significantly improving those areas without neglecting the player-controlled destruction that made Guerrilla so fun in the first place. If you liked bringing down huge buildings in Red Faction: Guerrilla, but were left a little cold by the thin storyline, somewhat generic enemies, and loose structure, Red Faction: Armageddon is a game you're going to want to keep an eye on.
Up until the time I had to put the controller down, Armageddon continued to mix things up with fresh enemies, weapons, locations, and even a vehicle or two.
Another drivable vehicle (of alien origin) also appeared in this section. The battle on the surface was bigger than any I'd previously encountered, featuring new enemies that were several stories tall. Just when I was reaching my limit of dark caverns, my concern was laid to rest as Darius headed to the surface to join Red Faction soldiers in repelling a huge alien attack. The suit can be entered and exited at any time, and makes quick work of anything in its path.Īs I played through a couple hours worth of Armageddon's early missions, I began to wonder if Daruis' journey would ever take him back to the surface of Mars. Donning an Exo-Suit, basically an armored mech equipped with infinite rockets and machine guns, turns Daruis into a walking tank. Soldiering along on-foot can sometimes be a bit challenging, due largely to the fast-moving, projectile-firing aliens.
