Red Faction: GameSpot Preview
Posted by WildWolf:
Score! GameSpot provides the cookies AND the milk today, baby! A huge preview, chock full of new information, as well as a bunch of new screenshots. Here's a snip of the lovin':
Lawrance demonstrated one such level that was populated by a variety of Ultor workers, executives, and security guards. Very early on, it became evident Parker would have to pass through a checkpoint to get anywhere in the level, but the guards stopped him. "I'm sorry, sir, you don't have the authorization to go there." Getting past this part of the level would require finding the right codes. "You'll be able to shoot people in the stealth levels," said Lawrance, "but you'll have to do it quickly, when no one is around, and not let your victims raise the alarm." Once you've killed someone, there will be the problem of disposing of the body. "If Ultor security finds a dead body, the alarm will sound, at which point you're going to be hard-pressed to survive," cautioned Lawrance. To demonstrate, he entered a small room, closed the door, and quickly killed the occupants. Then he holstered the gun and opened the door. As soon as someone walked by, an alarm went off throughout the complex, and several heavily armed Ultor security guards arrived. Armed with only a pistol, Parker was no match for the enemy. "This is where being able to pick up and move bodies is a factor," Lawrance elaborated. "You'll not only have to figure out whom to kill, but also how to cover it up. There will be a lot of exploring and observing." Just another reason Red Faction looks to be much more involved than your average shooter.
Sweet! On the scale of approval they get the coveted 100 and WildWolf's own seal of "Must Read" approval. There's a crapload of new info, including the existence of bots in the game, as well as some info on the fighter vehicle, and even info on another weapon. If you pick any preview to read this is probably the one you'll want to pick. READ IT.
