No, seriously, what's the point of E3 if everything is announced beforehand. Of course there will still be surprises, but things like this could have waited until E3.

Seems like a lot of publishers have the same idea of trying not to get caught in the hype. I remember this happened similarly not too long ago, when everybody pushed back into 2010 because of MW2, only to join GOW3, FFXIII, Heavy Rain, etc.
Sometimes its not always a good idea...

Actually they've turned it back into Red Faction. If you'd played the first game you'd know why this is such exciting, excellent news. As it is I guess we just have to feel a bit sorry for you since you're apparently too young to have played the epic start to this franchise.
Rest assured this looks like very good stuff.

Co-op means day one purchase.
Hopefully they get you outdoors pretty quickly though. Red Faction needs big environments with big buildings to destroy.

RF 2 is a cheap corridor shooter....RF1 was the best of the lot...its a shame they did not expand on it more......
Halo like for vehicles
Level layout, a hub system that slightly resembles TES, you uses vehicles(some tunneling and sometimes you have to get out and blow a out an aera that can not be drilled) to get to missions.
And yes heavy use of the physics engine as so you can dig to some missions or just blow up some buildings, doubly reinforced buildings need alot more to take down so you can have some buildings that can have missions in them.
If you build the engine right buildings right you should be able to put holes into a building that open 2 way "portals" into the building if the player if not near them they become one way so the AI can pop out if need be.
/Incoherent intellectual rambling.

Twilight,bayformers and the Jonas brothers are popular as well.... I love halo 1 2+ watered down BS for the masses RF2 simplified corridor shooter with no soul like Quake 4 and DOOM 3...............gears,bioshock,MW2 more of the same.ME2 is a shooter now.....Dragon age is still half bake..great dailog but I wonder where the rest of the game is.....but anyway..... I loath corridor shooters unless they have something neat in them like Bullet Witch, Dark sector,Infernal or Dark Messiah.
But I guess I got issues and fail :P
But really I hate generic flashy media which is what most media is now adays, I tend to to find the shiny gems in game mechanics here and there but it comes from mostly the B and lower range of games....

Ya BW is pretty bad but I like the theme and what they were trying to go for but even so its a mess, I am having fun with it tho I got it on hardest difficulty and not letting any police/civilians die..... I have not "died" so much since the 90s and I love it! Makes gears of war look easy on hardest difficulty :P

It would've been awesome if the release date actually coincided with Mars' actual first day of revolution so that second sentence could be completely punnable (note: not actually a word).

if anything, you gotta credit Volition and THQ for taking risks, trying new directions, and not just repackaging the same game over and over.
That and Volition makes great games.
