Wow... really 140+ comments of pure idiots? I mean look at the trailer by "JorgeConstanza11"

Does that look like anything whatsover offical? I'm sure THQ sends out mail hailing its "FPS" shooter red faction guerilla in press releases... considering its a third person shooter..

Not only that  the trailer  looks like a 30 minute hackjob - it's not to hard to splice together previously release video and a splash screen.

I hope THQ goes after whoever duped Jeff. Maybe the site should actually make sure what they post before they slander a name.

Plus.. just went look at Red Faction's site... a demo comes out on Friday for pre orders - why the hell would they try to promote the game through sites when word of mouth is gonna either start slamming or praising them this weekend?

The original Red Faction is stupid good.

Just wanted to call attention to an update to this story that we've appeneded to the original post:

I think it was a dare or something. Some guy who had the beta decided to make a lame video and make fun of some smaller websites... Its a practical joke. NOT FUNNY!!

"This video is no longer available due to a copyright claim by THQ"
Haha, guess it was a joke after all.

How about building buzz with good product? That might actually build sales.

Lol. So it really wasn't them doing it. Yet this article went up without double checking, or at least contacting them for comment first, smearing THQ's name over it to boost the site's indy character. Not good. Should have contacted them asking about it, without negative comments. Then they might have admitted it was them. Or told  you no, we don't know who's doing this. And you'd write your article accordingly. I suppose it's possible they were doing this and pulled it because of your article, but from their comment it sounds to me it wasn't them, or someone working for them, but they leave the potential open by simply saying they didn't "authorise it" as they're still investigating the companies they have hired.

Wait a second, isn't this the same game I played the beta of ages ago that absolutely stank? If I remember correctly, they made the beta public because NO ONE WAS PLAYING IT. lol

"That's a fair point, and I did kind of wrestle with the thought of running the video vs. not running the video, but the video was so fucking stupid that it needed to be seen."

Editorial discretion, I guess.  But you look like a hypocrite by going into such histrionics, and then end up copping out at the end...taking the high road would have been much more tactful.  You learned all about tactful writing at GameSpot, right?  right?

I'm no expert, but in journalism you are not suppose to recive anything, let's say free liquor, from someone you may in the future cover, let's say Harmonix. I'm not saying your wrong, I'm just saying...

"(Also, wow, it's like 23-year-old me showed up to bitch at his future self, right down to calling me "part of the problem." Rad.)"

Video's broken.

A winrar is Jeff.
