The first downloadable Red Faction game was officially named and detailed earlier today, but publisher THQ is making its latest game announcement officially official with new Red Faction: Battlegrounds media.
Red Faction Armageddon is the follow-up to last year’s surprise hit, Guerrilla. Those hoping for more free-wheeling action under a Martian sky may be in for a rude shock.
THQ’s plans for a Red Faction movie may be just the beginning for the Martian sci-fi smash ‘em up. The SyFy network-produced made for TV movie may eventually become its own ongoing series.
Just because a game isn’t a AAA franchise doesn’t mean it can’t work as a movie. Take Hitman, for example. OK, bad example. How about Red Faction!
