Red Faction 'Origins' and 'Armageddon' website domains registered

Yeah, consdering they gave it away free with Darksiders.

I wouldn't be surrpised if we start seeing copies of Red Faction: Guerrilla in cereal boxes, soon!

Ok, Malt-O-Meal, here's your chance to get me to buy even more Blueberry Muffin Tops...

The series has 3 games already. Seems like it's got legs of some sort.

Did Guerilla make any money?

Oh look the OP image changed. Yeah this isn't a PR paid for news article. :-)

I am going to be honest, I thought Red Faction had some potential. But it was wasted. There was no terraforming plot. No flying vehicles and taking down buildings was too hard. I could have made this game better with just an editors eye.

Terraforming.
Sky tether.
Underground locations.
Interesting enemy character models.
Worthwhile guns.
Cooler looking explosions.

I don't know how the game performed financially. But the registration of these domains and talk of a TV movie would seem to indicate it was successful.

Guerrilla wasn't a perfect game, no, but I enjoyed it quite a bit. For one, I didn't have any trouble taking down buildings and thought the guns were fine. Of course, I'll always welcome a wider selection of guns. How much did you play? Once you get access to rocket launchers and the nano rifle it's pretty easy to take down structures.

I'm curious what you mean by a terraforming plot? You wanted part of the story line to directly tie into the terraforming of Mars?

It's also like Apples and Oranges.

Red Faction: Origins = XBLA/PSN-based Red Faction prequel, that builds up to the release of . . .

Red Faction: Armageddon = Full retail disc release Red Faction game for Xbox 360 and PS3.

It really amazes me how much editors on these blogs forget to connect the dots for gaming news reported months apart.

To wit, a little while back, THQ announced a program by which they intended to release full-blown, smaller portioned, downloadable 'prequels' to some of their hottest franchises moving forward, in an effort to help build up excitement and test the waters for full releases of those same franchises, that would follow shortly after. Think of the program as getting the first fully playable, standalone DLC pak (no disc required), before the game actually shipped. Capcom is currently doing the same with Dead Rising 2, by releasing Dead Rising: CASE ZERO to XBLA this summer. THQ never actually mentioned franchises, but with the company slated to release a new Red Faction, and Saints Row 3 in 2011, it does not take a rocket scientist to figure out what goes where.

Armed with the above knowledge, and looking at the names of the two newly registered Red Faction IPs, one can logically draw the conclusion that one game is XBLA/PSN 'prequel' and the other is the Xbox 360/PS3 full retail game. And with the Origins of something usually happening before the Armageddon of it . . . well, I think I'm not the only one who can add 2 and 2 here.

Tachyonic, that's a damn sound arguement.
