The Unfortunate Truth Of Red Faction: Guerrilla

Red Faction Guerrilla is one of the greatest games of our time and I speak no hyperbole when I say that. Red Faction Guerrilla was responsible for some of the best innovation of our time, and yet it's an innovation we haven't seen since and will likely never see again. Why is that? Let's take a look. Can't wait for this video to flop.

The Battlefield Bad Company games had destructible enviroments, it was great fun in multiplayer, if a building was too heavily guarded, you could just level the entire building to capture it. Also take out potential sniper spots with a well placed shot from a tank.

[@Potato-Dono_and_Molasses]

I wouldn't be able to name the map but I do remember some snow map in BC2 where me and a mate, when on the offensive, would immediately take some C4, slap then on the 2 seater and drive through the door of one of the sites down the road. Hop out, open fire, detonate and hope we hit the right spot to capture it right off the bat. Even if it didn't work, it usually made a nice enough dent!

I remember being irritated by teammates when they tried to play "properly" while I was trying to demolish a building with the objective in it.

you should review the Mercenaries games. Same design philosophy, but have better mission design and progression, especially the first Mercenaries.

YESSSSS! I HAVEN'T THOUGHT ABOUT THAT SHIT IN FOREVER! Amazing commercial song.. Oh no you didn't!

[@Cavemanner]

Thing about Mercs 2 is that depending on what platform you played it on, you would have a completely different experience. There were entire features available on PS2 that were totally absent on the 360 version. The one that always springs to mind is that on PS2 you could bring any vehicle you wanted to the mansion and save it in your garage. That was most certainly not the case on 360.

[@Cavemanner]

Man, those mini games where you had a specific amount of ammo to do a certain amount of destruction were so clutch! I spent hours with my buddies doing our own little challenges all over the map, like taking out a building with only x number of sledgehammer strikes. This was one of those games that really defined an era of my childhood lol.

[@saintallison]

Those puzzles were incredibly memorable and fun! I'm glad to know other people liked them too :D

RF Guerrilla is definitely a very fun game. I'm about to replay it again right now. At first glance it may look like just another open world "gta" game but when you include the Geomod 2.0 technology it makes the game a totally different beast of a game. Experimenting with it is so much fun. The possibilities are endless. This kind of technology doesn't seem to get the attention it deserves.

My first exposure to Red Faction was via the SR2 DLC where they added the Scout; I remember picking up Guerilla for a few bucks not long after and loving it. SR2 was/is one of my favorite all-time games; RF absolutely carries the same energy and it shows to glorious effect.

You should check out The Finals. A brand new free to play shooter made by former Dice developers. The game has real time destruction physics that can affect an entire match. It's been scratching that destruction physics itch for a lot of people.

Man simping the physics engine from a 7th gen game for 17 minutes straight: In all seriousness, having more realistic destruction physics would make modern games more fun. Especially now that even home consoles are exceedingly more advanced than they were a decade ago. Being able to realistically tear a building apart piece by piece would appease the sadist in all of us.

[@alan83251]

Try the Teardown mod "Impact Based Structural Integrity Test." It doesn't resolve the "3/4 walls gone, building still standing" problem, but once the building does start falling, it crumbles and collapses realistically instead of just dropping down and staying together. Also, try the dynamic building maps such as Dynamic Office Tower. That one DOES bend and fall realistically after some walls are knocked out. All these have a pretty large performance impact though.

[@RidenCT]

One of my favourite games, I played the ReMarstered version just recently and I recognise everything you stated, but still so enjoyable. That destruction part of the game is itself the game, all the rest is almost secondary

[@villemononen5303]

Bang on! When it comes to destroyable environments, Red Faction: Guerilla is the king! Such great memories just breaking stuff, and how fluid it all was... It's a shame more developers aren't exploring this and going beyond. Another legendary game that revels in destruction is Silent Storm and it's expansion, Silent Storm: Sentiles. It's an excellent tactical turn-based game akin to Jagged Alliance etc. Easily one of my favorites! Silent Storm Gold Edition from GOG is recommended.

[@Mankey619]

It’s surprising that no body ever talks about the Red Faction games that much. The game looks okay and I get that they wanted go from First Person to Third Person due to Saints Row success.

[@utuberz123456789]

If they ever made a new Red Faction I'd want highly stylized visuals, just so that they could keep it looking nice while lowering the polygon counts on everything. And I want them to do that so that as much power as possible can be funneled into the destruction.

I think they could've (in story) explained that Mars had just finished terreforming and thus didn't have the man power or resources to add more to the (natural) environment.

[@phatman8986]

God I miss those games

[@Jackvonblood]

I definitely would disagree on certain points, but I agree overall. Specifically what I disagree with is that Teardown is a "gimmick" game, which I'll explain. In games, I like having reasons for doing what I'm doing. Teardown, as far as I've played it, does exactly that. I have various goals in mind, not just "do this thing for fun". I want to also be progressing in something, improving my skills somehow, or coming to a conclusion in a story-focused game. I love having fun and shooting and blowing stuff up, but if that's all I'm doing, I'll quickly get tired of it if I don't have ways of mixing it up. Control (released in 2019), for example, I find to be endlessly entertaining. When I'm fighting enemies, not only am I improving my aiming, tactics, and reaction-time, I'm also given a variety of ways to defeat enemies with various skills. Maybe for whatever reason I don't want to (or am unable to) aim for a little bit, so I'll just use the telekinesis/mind powers and throw an object at a guy. Maybe I'll wanna kill a large group of enemies, there's a weapon form for that. Maybe I wanna be super specific about which of the enemies I kill, there's another weapon form for that, too. I can always change up my methods of fighting enemies while also trying to work on improving my patterns, even if small. Teardown has this exact same sort of "complete this thing how you want" idea to it as well. I'm able to make my own path, and with various weapons, (usually) however I like. (There are certain times where something is not able to be destroyed, but to me, it's frustrating but rare enough that I never really stop playing it.) The campaign can be boring sometimes, but if I get tired of something I'll just come back to it whenever I feel the need to. I tend to do this with a lot of games I've spent hours on, the Resident Evil remake, Destroy All Humans 2 remake, Project Zomboid, Viscera Cleanup Detail, Binding of Isaac, Cruelty Squad, Far Cry 2, etc, etc. Not everyone engages with games like I've described, and that's fine. I just disagree with the idea that it's more than just a mere gimmick. It changes things up from time to time, you just need to be able to look at it more as a "get this thing and fuck off" game rather than a sandbox. Also there's community mods, but I don't like the argument of "mods can fix the game" so I won't bring that up, I just find that it's icing on the cake. I think, fundamentally, it comes down to what I'm coming to Teardown "for", I'm okay with an objective-focused game that also includes some destruction that might not be as complicated or realistic as Red Faction: Guerilla. Funnily enough, I actually found RF:G to be one of those games that I couldn't come back to after finishing it. Initially I was the same as TBP, I found the destruction to be fucking FANTASTIC (and it is, the level of detail is still, to this day, fucking unbelievable), but after completing the main mission and side-quests, there wasn't much point to me restarting. I'd done everything, seen the destruction. Not much else I can do after that. Furthermore, I even had some gripes with RF:G, specifically concerning the enemies. If I wanna destroy a building, I'll have to kill all of the enemies, but they're also constantly respawning, so I'd always have one or more guys busting my nuts while I'm trying to blow something up. I tried looking around online for cheats or workarounds that would enable me to turn off the "wanted level" or whatever you'd call it, but I never found any if they even do exist. (After looking for a little bit, I found several threads of people talking about this as well. At least I know I'm not alone, I guess.) Either way, it's frustrating that I'd have to deal with enemy spawns at all, and it even makes it so that I don't come back to it for that exact reason. I'm sure there are ways to turn the enemies off, but I don't particularly care to since I've done pretty much everything. Maybe 100% the game? But even that can be frustrating/impossible since none of my friends own it. Either way, I guess we're coming to RF:G and Teardown for different things, but this was a good video, despite my disagreements. The lack of destruction mechanics in games is a shame, it's always fun seeing that kind of thing implemented, even when in small quantities, like in the GTA/Infamous franchises. One of my first examples of this that blew my mind was in Far Cry 3, when I accidentally drove off a bridge. I had been driving along it and wondered, "I bet the guard rails on the bridge won't break, huh?" and I sure was shocked when I found myself going for a dip. For me, I'd only previously played GTA IV and a couple other games where you could control vehicles, and none of them had destructible items like that, especially not over areas like water. (GTA IV has a couple destructible environments and things like that, but I only recently discovered this in a previous playthrough, so apparently I hadn't associated it in my mind.) Hopefully that new space game Bethesda's putting out is good enough that modders can add that kind of thing. (Though of course I'm not holding my breath for it, they fucked up my favorite post-war franchise. They're sure not getting any of my money ever again.) Anyway, good video.👍 Even if they might not do very well, I always enjoy the content you put out. Keep up the good work if you're enjoying it, and if not, I hope you do well in whatever you decide on doing.

[@johnleorid]

I'm working on such a game on and off since over two years. Currently at my ninth attempt on calculating when a building should break and where it should do so. Every attempt took several weeks / months to test. From simple rule based systems to a full implementation of a custom physics engine based on verlet physics that runs on a worker thread. (I've uploaded some attempts on my channel) Nothing has worked so far. But Verlet was Attempt 6, 7 and 8 (used in different ways) and I have, once again, a new idea which I'll try next. Btw. I'm not just a game programmer, I'm an actual civil engineer, so I learned how to calculate bulding statics - yet I still couldn't get this working. It's really hard (even with new hardware, those calculations just kill everything - it's not the math, it's the performance) and I guess that's one of the main reasons why no one has released such a game yet. Also destroyed buildings are heavy on the GPU as well - as you said, a stable building has a few polygons, probably just the outside - but when it's destroyed, you have so many polygons to render at once, all having shadows (so you basically have to render them twice). I wonder how they approached it. In interviews they said that they also had civil engineers on board iirc. I'll continue experimentation on that topic and maybe others will do that as well. With some patience, we'll get another fully destructible sandbox - sooner or later.

Hey man great vid. I also did one about the game and would love to hear your opinion. Anyways, in my opinion the biggest problem with the story is that not only is black and white but that characters don´t really questions their moral and actions. At the very beginning of the plot, it is established that alec and the red faction are the good guys whereas the EDF is blatantly bad. There is no being in-between good or bad. This is especially weird considering the red faction is a terrorist organisation after all. Also, we don´t know much about Alec´s backstory but to me it is also concerning that he went from hard working mining engineer to a literal mass murderer without much nuance.

[@TheKeyser94]

The missions may be repetitive, but that doesn't mean that they are easy, more when you progress around the areas, you could so things to chess the game like knowing where to find the mechas to destroy the objectives more easily, but the two final areas are the hardest, because there is no scrap or minerals that you can use to improve your weapons, because they are military base and the largest city on Mars.

The biggest letdown of this game is the ending, or lack thereof. After beating the main storyline, I was looking forward to exploring the surface of Mars unhindered by the EDF. NOPE! The game still acts like the EDF is in control of the area. Liberated sectors are not really liberated, and the EDF has infinite reserves. Even the Geo Mod in this game is disappointing, and you touched on why. Everything but the terrain can be destroyed. Red Faction 1 allowed you to literally dig tunnels. Red Faction 1, a game that came out in 2001, gave you so much freedom. With enough explosives you could literally dig yourself into a hole that you could not get out of. You could tunnel under the map if you had the patience. Must have been too much freedom, because they severely curtailed Geo Mod in RF 2, and restricted it to buildings only on this game.
