It's a game that makes it fun to blow things up.
Take out the base of a tower to see it topple over. Bring down a wall or ceiling to reveal the metal superstructure of a base. The novelty is how believably building collapse.

THQ had not responded to requests for clarification on the Red Faction arcade game as of press time. "Not only that, we have a comic book coming on it as well." "You'll see it on Red Faction, you'll see it on Saints Row and a couple of others," he said. However, the executive did say that the publisher is planning "multi-faceted minigames" as revenue generators and marketing tools for other franchises as well, including Saints Row. "What's interesting is that we will sell it to the fans, it will have content you can download that is TV show-related, it will build up to the new game and also we can use it to drive pre-orders, too we can give codes and aspects of it, we can give the whole thing away."īilson did not divulge specific details about what gamers can expect from the Red Faction extension. "There's going to be a Red Faction arcade game that ships about three or four months before Armageddon," Bilson told CVG. Speaking to CVG, THQ executive vice president of core games Danny Bilson said that the franchise would also benefit from the publisher's strategy to bring "our big brands" to Xbox Live and the PlayStation Network. THQ will get at least one more game in before Armageddon.Īrmageddon's promotion won't be limited to expanded media, however. Namely, THQ said during its E3 2010 webcast that it would air the big-budget SyFy-produced Red Faction telefilm the same week in March 2011 that it launches Armageddon for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC. Transmedia promotion has become a key buzzword at THQ, and the publisher has already detailed ways in which it will apply this strategy to Volition's upcoming Red Faction Armageddon.
