Title: I own Red Faction, and it.....
Post by: Stupid Mop on May 23, 2001, 04:46:48 PM
I\'ve got a whole month to wait for it to come out here. Which is a good thing in a way cause rugby 2001 is out soon so I\'m saving my money for that.

I got it a few hours ago too, taking a break cuz I\'m REALLY stuck...  Anyways...  this game runs probably fast enough for everybody... it\'s at the level where only PC freaks will complain...  Graphics wise it goes from below Half Life quality to above somewhat... that\'s about the level... not too great, but the gameplay might even be a few steps above Half Life when you take everything into account, I\'ll have to see how long it is...  The music ROCKS, I love the tunes that play in this game...  What gamespot said about Geo mod not being used as much as you\'d like to is true a good amount, instead they focus much more on gameplay, but there are many routes that I couldn\'t quite figure out how to travel that I just skipped by for my first run through...  It\'s also very challenging, even on normal skill level.  Well, I\'m not good at impressions, but this is a true PS2 golden title.

Does it have guys like the scientists from Half-Life in Red Faction that you can talk to and stuff?? I love those guys.

Post by: ddaryl on May 23, 2001, 07:44:38 PM
everyone seems to say thumbs up so I went and bought it during my lunch brake. I will start playing tonight :D
Title: I own Red Faction, and it.....
Post by: Sublimesjg on May 23, 2001, 08:02:05 PM
yea i went and picked it up today also and am pretty happy about it - i keep dieing in one spot though and it ticks me off - i wish there was some way to continue near where you died but i just need to get used to the controls
Title: I own Red Faction, and it.....
Post by: Jigen on May 23, 2001, 09:11:42 PM
Yes, you can talk to every non-enemy as long as you don\'t scare them, usually like in Half Life, but they usually won\'t follow you.  Medics can heal you like in HL though...  I also see some Goldeneye like areas in the game... but the second one is neat because I chose just to blast my way through and not go secretly, but I saw tons of things along the way I couldn\'t explain...

Also, someone said they wished you could start right before somewhere, don\'t know if you know but the save system is save-anytime, like good PC games... it works really well for RF.  I\'m stunned so far... I\'m pretty far.

If anyone knows I\'m at the jeep with the gun mount now.  I would call this game the best 128-bit console FPS ever so far...  great game.

i had to pay 120 dolars to fix it, and i am thinking about renting a PS2 so i can play it, i know 1 other person  with a PS2, she "yes the only other person i know who has a PS2 is a girl!" said i can come over and play it, but she will want to play also & im a greedy bastard when it comes to games like this :p

its ok cause im not gonna read 1 review on it! its gonna be hard to do but when i finally get to play it i wont know a god damn thing about it, that way get that feeling i would get playing it on the first day & not knowing anything about it :)
Title: I own Red Faction, and it.....
Post by: Faithdies on May 23, 2001, 10:16:01 PM
Ok. Back from work and playing it for a while.
Had to take a break.
So far Im right after the jeep in another sub.
So far, the graphics arnt the greatest, but still very good and when Im running around blasting people with my shotgun and watching them as they do a backflip and ten roll over on the ground with blood going everywhere, I really dont mind the graphics.
Slowdown... Yes, there is SOME, but its so few and far between its like its non-existant. The only time it occurs is when a HUGE explosion goes off in a big level.
Gameplay?
A+ so far.
If your used to timesplitters it should take you about 5 minutes to pick up the controls completely.
Also, unlike the demo, when you change weapons, it brings up a little screen showing all the weapons in a scroll like fashion. That way you know whats next and how many times to hit "square" before getting to the weapon you want. Instead of scrolling through the weapons as you decide, you weapon will only change once you find the one you want, and you hit the "primary" fire key. So thats pretty cool.
The story so far is good.
Its no summoner, but then again, its a lot better than timesplitters.
Im thoroughly impressed and Emory and Joe give it .....
TWO THUMBS UP!

So many positive posts and replies about the game... ddaryl buying it... everyone recommending it...

One more game I must buy this summer :)
Title: Looks like a winner!
Post by: Simchoy on May 23, 2001, 10:57:30 PM
:D Of coarse, I won\'t be buying this game anytime soon. Graduation is in 15 days. If I have plans to make it, I won\'t be playing a lot of games. Not to mention, I\'m flat broke. :(
Title: I own Red Faction, and it.....
Post by: DVD on May 24, 2001, 12:10:11 AM
I\'m convinced. Will add to my list of games-to-buy.

Post by: STROKE on May 24, 2001, 01:17:48 AM
I think it\'s a great game and I\'ll buy but I love co-op so Half Life is one my fav. this year.

Post by: YNOT2K on May 24, 2001, 03:25:20 AM
Still looking for it, here in VA. Could not find it on the 23rd. hopefully it will be in today. I did find the Hackers on DVD for only 10 bucks, I allways loved this movie, on DVD it\'s 10 times better it\'s in 5.1 sound. I\'ll say its one of the best DVDs I got.

This game should be good but all the comments above could just be the hyped up opinions of the game. I would like to hear some opinions in a week or so when the dust has settled.

Either way, going by what peoples said Ill get it when it comes out in the UK, that should be about 3 years time. :mad:
Title: I own Red Faction, and it.....
Post by: Sublimesjg on May 24, 2001, 11:00:39 AM
Well trust me i had really no hype for this game at all i just figured i had some extra money that i would go ahead and pick it up well to my surprise i am hooked on this

Every now and then i keep thinking its gonna end but the game just keeps going - i have already put a lot of time - not sure how much but the fact i haven\'t slept yet says something - all i know is that the story of this game is good and that the geo-mod is a fun extra

Thanks everyone for your mini review, and thanks to the official playstation 2 magazine -UK that has a special offer with Game And EB to sell :( the Demo to you if you fill out the little voucher included in the demo disk section at ythe start of the mag.

Ah well i suppose £5 is a small price to pay this superb game.

for the record Volition has already won me over with the superb Summoner.

Hope they get round to make a sequal for both RED FACTION and SUMMONER.

There are all these cool little Hideo Kijima Type things in this game. LIke all the mugs have the voilition symbol on them, and most of the paintings on the wall are rough scenes from Summoner with a little "S" in the corner.

YNOT2K... not that Richmond is Norfolk...but I found MANY copies available at my local Wally-Mart.  And 49.99 beats most Babbage\'s/EB pricings to boot.  Good luck in your search.
