Agree about the aliens being intimidating but not liking the new direction of this game. The main attraction for me was the destruction in the open world - destruction in a linear enviroment sounds proper fucking shit.

uh oh- i loved redfaction 1, but then 2 got very "story heavy" and "pre rendered background" heavy, and we lost the destruction. Then red faction guerilla went back to the story light/destruction heavy model that was fun again, but this is now underground with aliens and plot... i see this might be heavy on the story and backgrounds but a step back in destruction. And if i want story I'll buy dead space 2, i want DESTRUCTION!!!!!!!

So it's Dead Space or Doom 3 or something? Cmon, Red Faction. The whole point of your game used to be about burrowing giant tunnels in the walls, then shooting the enemies with a rail gun where they couldn't possibly see you. Please bring that back.

well maybe instead of razing down a huge building with a hammer we'll be able to mine for copper or stuff instead.

Omfg, I did that so much! Specially on warlords - multiplayer back on the original red faction might as well have been the ONLY multiplayer. Sweet jesus it was so awesome.

I don't see how this is "Red" Faction anymore... 
At least in Guerrilla, it seemed "Red" because the miners had like a Socialist uprising.

@Crono: ok on mars but if they've terraformed and inhabited the whole fucking planet you'd think they'd have noticed something by then.

I love that everybody is already passing judgement on this game's content, when all we've seen is a flickering, stuttering trailer showing almost no actual gameplay.

Oh man I'm so pleased to see this is in the works. Looks so good, folks. But I hope Saints Row 3 is not forgotten.

That bridge-building gun looks kinda neat. It's like the reverse of the Nano Rifle from RF:Guerrilla. 
 
But yeah, that trailer told me nothing except caves and aliens.

Need more information.
 
 A return to the old environment seems like a cool idea, but aliens definitely seem like a poor one without any further knowledge - I imagine it will take away from the whole "human drama" element that makes up the crux of the motivation and story for every previous Red Faction game.
 
That being said, I bet the aliens blow up real good.

hopefully there are cavern areas big enough to might as well be open world areas, and with lots of buildings to destroy.

The first one was great as a sleeper hit with the destructibility and the hammer, but i do not know what the devs were thinking with this one...

It was always called "Red" Faction because it takes place on Mars, popularly known by the nickname "the red planet".

Red Faction Guerrilla was such an  awesome fun game, can not wait to play this.  The new enemies look like some kinda nightmarish cave dwelling bug machines, sweet.

Thank God it wasn't a shitty CG announcement trailer. Not too sure about this monster stuff and I didn't see him with a hammer and that worries me more. What's Red Faction without a hammer? Nothing.
