Forums - Gaming - Red Faction: Guerilla demo impressions...anyone else play it yet too?

Ok I don't know if 360 or PC users got a demo yet, but if you're an Annual subsciber to Qore you were able to download a Red Faction: Guerilla demo today so I played the Ps3 version.

The first 5 minutes of the game I wasn't really caring for it...probably because i really didn't know wtf was happening really. Walked through and the controls felt pretty smooth, took a few seconds to get use cause it's been a while since i have done a TPS. I can definetly say though the game feels like it should be played on PC and will be the platform im picking it up for. 

After a while I started noticing little meters and how much money worth of damaged i caused how much building health was around, different ways i can destroy them and after my first death the game drew me in. I just had to destroy everything! I had fun expirementing destorying buildings with my sledge hammer then finding different things that explode in them and triggering them to explode, or just taking a huge APC and driving through every thing! I think they did really good with the cars you don't go through like butter but at the same time you don't just hit a barrier and stop dead in your tracks.

One complaint I have is you seem overpowered.....i can easily take on 4 - 6 guys heading straight on with just an assualt rifle and survive, however i don't know what difficulty setting the demo has you play on.

For Red Faction fans:  As far as the universe goes, it seems to have that same setting but something seems a little off. Also the switch to third person makes it feel like an entirely different game. Your're definetly a man beast instead of just another guy overthrowing the company, and your character just in the demo feels a little....stale. Try the demo out as the qore one is just an early release if subscibers and will probably be in the PS store a week or two from now.

Overall: The destructability alone makes this game a blast. I just wanted to go around destroying everything and level the playing feild. As I said before in the first 5 minutes I really hated it, but once i started expirementing it just dragged me in. Give it a go, there's a demo and the game itself looks to be really long with 120 missions evidently. I can't really comment on story...it is just a demo afterall, but i will defintly be picking this up for PC.

With Brett apparently out, I think too many people are distracted by that:

can I get it if I don't have Qore ??



yeah everyone can get it if you don't have qore but you have to wait a little bit. Qore users are just getting it early.

I was in the multiplayer beta so I can't comment on the single player mode.
Online was not uber great but enjoyable.



REAL Physics FTW!

yeah i didn't play the online of course, but it didn't look to appealing from videos. How did the buildings destructability in stuff affect the online though? That is what seems to be my saving grace for it.

Single player was fun though cause of the emphasis on destruction, and it does that psychology thing for me where if you see you're racking up points you just can't stop. You collect salvage peices for some reason (didn't explain really, im thinking for weapon upgrades or something) you fulfill bonus objectivse for destroying certain buildings. Just was pretty damn cool.
