Excuse me?

Excuse you?

Red Faction: Guerrilla was one of those games with a core mechanic done really well: knocking stuff over. The story was shabby and the enemies were bland but damn it was fun to take the sledge hammer to a building.

The destruction in RFG was mind blowing, but it stole too much of the focus, storytelling and other gameplay mechanics were pushed aside sadly. The game seemed like a big tech demo of their destruction system. Just imagine what it would be like if that kind of destruction was implemented as standard to a game with such immense overall detail and polishing like GTA IV. The series has tons of growing room and I'll really be looking forward to what they bring to the next installment, hopefully a more immersive plot.

I actually think they managed to find a good balance between focusing on a really fun mechanic (knocking things down) and leaving the world and story flexible enough to cope with the player using the mechanic more than strictly necessary (knocking EVERYthing down).

As to this article itself; I think the first comment sums it up. This whole article is contained in the title; everything but the odd typo, "He said THQ has been with the success of the series," Been with as in.. 'been with' wink wink nudge nudge?

I was hoping for more info on the next RF.
