Etter å ha solgt over 1 million eksemplarer på verdensbasis, mener THQ og Volition at de har sitt på det tørre når de annonserer Red Faction 2.
Red Faction var uten tvil et bra og temmelig nyskapende FPS, selv om mange ble skuffet etter all hypen som skapte store forventninger, lenge før spillet kom ut. Nå er altså en oppfølger under planlegging og da må det vel bli bra... eller? Joda vi satser på det. Her er et utdrag av dagens presse melding: "The overwhelming success of `Red Faction' last summer firmly placed THQ and Volition among the top original content creators on PlayStation 2," stated Brian Farrell, president and CEO, THQ. "We are delighted to be building on this franchise for holiday 2002, a time when the PlayStation 2 hardware will be reaching a critical installed base."
"`Red Faction 2' will take the action genre to new heights, thanks to innovations in both game design and technology," said Mike Kulas, president, Volition. "The enhancements we've made to the Geo-Mod engine will allow players to completely interact with a game world, where destroying and altering the environment become an integral part of gameplay."
