An interesting video from the latest Red Faction game. Seems Volition are giving Descent fans a big present here. ;)

Now wait a minute here...brainstorm coming on...

...didn't the first Red Faction game deal with a "Humans-first rebellion" that was mentioned in one of the Descent briefings? If so, then it was probably only meant as a cookie for fans, but...

I'm getting a lot of Descent vibes from this, so much so I have to wonder if there's a purposeful, ulterior, motive behind it...

But even if there isn't...yeah, great to see such strong Descent vibes again. :D

This could open up an entirely new avenue for a Descent mod in Red Faction.

Wasn't somebody from the Descent community involved in Red Faction? Or was that some other game?

If you mean the first game - well, technically everyone was. The first Red Faction was originally Descent 4 in it's early stages. Not sure about the later games. Obviously some of the original staff are still there, including the CEO whom ofcourse is one of the masterminds behind the original Descent games.

I remember going through the first Red Faction game (which had truly awful character animation IIRC) looking to see if they'd slipped in a stray Deimos or something. Sadly not.

I vaguely remember seeing something similar in the end cutscene.

Yeah, I noticed that too. Like to see Volition try and deny that they copied that and keep a straight face. :P

Could be an idea from Mike Kulas - seeing as he is now stepping down as CEO.

What a neat-looking reticule. I wonder why it looks so familiar...

Tsch. And I named a ship after him and everything.

Ooo... I hope this pans out into something moddable into a Descent game... And it being Multi-platform...

EDIT: The missile used in the video reminds me of a ripped-off cyclone missile.

I'm going to be looking at this as soon as it's available - From there, I will see what kind of options are available for a Descent mod. :)

Hopefully it'll have joystick support. From there, it's downhill.
