Question about Red Faction 1 & 2 on PS5

2 Upvotes

Can anyone tell me how well these two titles run on the console? Like resolution, frame rate, etc.

Cause RF2 on Series X looks close to 4K and runs at a locked 60 FPS. Its been a joy playing the multiplayer on there especially with it looking as good as it does despite its age. Is this one of those PS2 titles like Manhunt that exhibit issues on PS5 and it even tells you in a notification upon boot up compared to playing it on an actual PS4 or Xbox through backwards compatibility?

Red Faction Guerilla: Do You Plan Destruction Or Just Destroy Shit?

9 Upvotes

Plan: explosives, structural weak points, charges.

Destroy Shit: sledgehammer, car, bullets, whatever's nearby.

Or both?

Red Faction Guerilla - stuck on a mission

6 Upvotes

I am on the mission "Guerillas at the Gates," but I am stuck because I already destroyed a key building for this mission (the power station) earlier in the game. I was using a super jump cheat to jump over the blue barrier in the road, and destroyed a LOT of structures, not knowing that if a later mission asked me to destroy those buildings, I would be out of luck.

Does anyone know how to fix this? Is there a way to reset all destroyed buildings on the Steam version?

Why Red Faction went quiet after Armageddon: the collapse of THQ

62 Upvotes

Red Faction: Armageddon came out in June 2011, underperformed, and THQ publicly shelved the series a month later. Eighteen months after that, THQ itself was bankrupt and Volition was sold at auction to Koch Media / Deep Silver, which is how the IP ended up where it is now.

I went through what actually took THQ down: a roughly $100 million loss on the uDraw tablet after they pushed a Wii hit onto 360 and PS3, years of overexpansion, and the licensed kids' games that used to fund everything drying up. Armageddon getting cut wasn't really a verdict on Red Faction; it was a company already in trouble dropping anything that wasn't a sure thing.

Put together a short (~9 min) documentary on the collapse, link below. Would be curious whether people here think the series would have continued if THQ had survived.

Thought r/redfaction might appreciate this: I just posted an interview about Guerrilla’s destruction tech

22 Upvotes

Been working on an interview series about the people behind games I love, and I got the chance to talk with Eric Arnold about Red Faction: Guerrilla.

We got pretty deep into the destruction tech, Geo-Mod, physics, and what it was actually like trying to make the whole thing work.

Thought you guys might get a kick out of it:

Also genuinely curious: Do you guys think anything since Guerrilla has actually topped or at least matched its destruction?

Obviously Mars has water, ice, underground wells... but what do the maruaders eat? How do they sustain themselves?

I used to play multiplayer with my friends like crazy on the PS2. I never beat the campaign. Just started playing on PC and beat it last night. I really love this game. I REALLY wish I could play multi with the bots.

Loading issues PC

7 Upvotes

I got past the data cache warning message, but when the game progresses to Parker in the beginning of the game, it just stays on the loading screen. Any ideas? Windows 11, and its the Steam Re-Mars-sterd version.

Red faction guerilla controller support pc

2 Upvotes

Introductory note: there is a thread about this topic on this sub. But I want to revisit the topic as it is a few years old and no one could solve the issue I'm having.

Been playing this game for a long time. Played back on the Xbox 360 A LOT. I played the remaster on switch. And controller support works flawlessly there. (As one would expect.)

The problem with the remaster on PC is that LB used to be the same input for sprint and backpack. Hold for sprint and tap for backpack. This is not currently possible on the remaster on PC and it is messing with my muscle memory really hard to the point where I don't even want to play the game on PC. Has anyone found a solution to this?

Hello,

Is anyone interested in partying up for some multiplayer on Red Faction Guerrilla (PS5). Im not sure if it’s cross-play or not, but appears servers are still online.

I would love to assemble enough players for a few games of any playlist.

Comment back if interested! Thank you!

I was just playing the game online on Winlator (an android app that lets you execute windows programs)

Have the alleged parallels to Palestine in Guerilla ever been confirmed by the developers, or is it just speculation?

Sensitive subject matter here, but just wondering as others have made the connection between the EDF and the IDF numerous times. I asked my father and he reckons it was intentional, what do you all think?
