STONKING GREAT TITS!
Seriously, I do like the look of this game... but I've no idea what to think of this particular trailer other than: "They're showing off the female character AND a quaint little pencil mode."

I think you misunderstand the angle I'm looking at this from. Let me try to explain.Tuqui said:
The original Red Faction? It was the first shooter I had ever played online and the first game I ever bought for a computer way back at the tender age of ten. Sure, the story wasn't exactly a masterpiece of fiction, but it was still interesting and enjoyable. Toss in the GeoMOD engine and it's destructible terrain, which was flat-out unheard of at the time, and even vehicles to drive around long before Halo came along to make it an standard thing and you have a pretty decent game for the time it was made.
... and then Red Faction 2 came out, a game that completely ignored the first's story except for one very minor detail that was hardly touched on in the original that it used as a hand-wave to justify why, in-universe, your character essentially has superpowers. Hell, somehow the GeoMOD tech seemed to even take a step backward. The entire sequel seemed sub-par.
It was a game so bad that Volition had to completely ignore it in their canon, jump the story ahead three generation and completely change game genres to get past it. And then with this one, Armageddon, they time skip the story forward a few more generations and scrap the miner rebellion theme again to toss everyone underground where they have to fight aliens.
Red Faction is a franchise that, believe it or not, essentially is following the same pattern as Highlander, minus the fact that every entry in the franchise doesn't suck. The original game was, yes, pretty good, but it didn't leave itself open to a sequel. The entire plot dealt with the miners on Mars rebelling from the Ultor Corporation and, surprise, at the end they won. Myth arc over, happy endings all around, at least until someone looked over the sales charts and said "Hmm, this sold well. Let's make another one!"
... and thus Red Faction 2: "The Quickening" came out and every decision about what to do with the series' universe and story since then has only given me a headache out of confusion.
... wow, I did not plan for this to become the rant that it did. Sorry about that, folks.
That video seemed like....A huge waste of time. I mean, "Whoo hoo, you guys made a color filter!" Not really worthy of it's own trailer, in my humble opinion.
I mean, I'm buying it because I loved "Guerrilla" and the demo is great fun, but this trailer was...Well, like I said, a waste of time.

I think the music was always going to be a given, considering what they were trying to do here...qDreams said:
So in guerrilla we are treated to an incredible game mechanic which allows us to destroy things, to literally smash them into tiny pieces with anything from a hammer to some sort of antimatter rifle thingy.
So what do we get in Armageddon? Oh a black and white filter so we can't really see what we're destroying/doing/shooting/fixing? Way to go, Volition! Oh and you put footage of it to Aha's "Take on me?" Well now isn't that clever!
Seriously, it's just gimmic after gimmic with these guys isn't it? Hopefully there'll be a good game under all this fluff and stuffing.
wow, doesnt anyone get the reference? Even with the wink?
It seems like only Proverbial Jon understood.
Also, dont complaint about extras, if you dont want them then its fine but atleast you have the option to choose. People complaint that games arent what they used to be with cheat codes that unlocked fun stuff and all that crap but then when a game does bring that stuff everyone just yells that it ruins the theme of the game.
Another extra
And since we are talking about Volition and A-ha I have to put this here

I have to say that I was really impressed by the graphics of the models - there was no clipping, and everything looked kinda solid and physical (at least when there was no filter, heh). Honestly, I'd say that those were some of the best models I've seen around for ages, mostly because there was no noticeable clipping. Weird how that had such an impact on me...
I don't know if I should be proud or ashamed that I wasent' expecting the Aha refrence.
Anywho, I just don't know. I liked Guerrilla,I liked the open world, I liked the distruction, but now it seems they're undoing everything that I liked about that game. No open world, the ability to REBUILD things, and then we get this wierd trailer that doesn't really show us anything but an extra.Doon't get me wrong I like extras, I just think they should't need they're own 3 minute trailer.
And then there is this new female charater. To be fair, I didn't play through the who story of Guerrilla yet, but atleast in that, the main female role (Sam) didn't have massive clevage and (To my knowlege) they never had an ass shot of her (0:38).
I'm really not into this. It my be cool in the end, but I seriously doubt it.
