I know we've talked about it before, but I have only just recently been able to get my hands on a copy of the much sought after issue of Game Informer that features an 8 page article on Red Faction (the cover story no less). Anyway, most of the read is pretty standard issue stuff. The screens aren’t anything big and bring up that sense of deja vu, some of them even seem to be missing the lighting effects on characters (still with the early screens). They do show off the shotgun and riot prod in action and both seem pretty cool (from what little one can tell from two or three stills).

They also do a cool weapons rundown that contains this little tidbit about the flamethrower's alternate fire mode... "Torch turns off and player can spread fuel to ignite later." Well, I guess this settles the question of whether or not there will be fire in RF (something that has been asked but skillfully dodged many a times). I think this is a totally killer idea, but who am I to force my opinions onto you lowly peons. Post a comment and discuss for yourselves.
