Red Faction: Guerrilla Remastered Gameplay

Red Faction: Guerrilla Remastered–or Re-mars-tered as it’s officially dubbed–is just a few days away from release, and now we’re getting an early look at gameplay. The PS4, Xbox One, and PC remaster looks better and runs way smoother than the original 2009 release, and you can watch us play through the first mission above to see us destroy a base with explosives and do a whole lot of damage with a hammer.

The remaster primarily improves upon the original’s visuals, as you can see in our PS4 Pro gameplay: there are new textures, lighting, shadow rendering, and post-processing. It also adds 4K support, and is way easier to play; the frame-rate is smooth and the game no longer struggles to keep up with the action.

Red Faction Guerrilla is known for its physics-friendly destructive gameplay, where you can use weapons, vehicles, and explosives to wreak havoc on your environment. Thanks to the remastered graphics and performance, this has never been more enjoyable. In GameSpot’s original Red Faction Guerilla review, Randolph Ramsay gave the game an 8.5/10 and praised its fun action and long, challenging single-player campaign.

“You’ll end up hearing that ‘thunk’ a lot in Red Faction: Guerrilla, but you’ll never get tired of it because its deep, crunchy sound is tied so intrinsically to the satisfying visual destruction you see,” he wrote of the game’s iconic sledgehammer weapon.

“Guerrilla’s gameplay is similar–many of the missions may feel like they’re at the same, loud, all-out pace, but when devastation is this well presented, it’s difficult not to get swept along by its primal energy. Red Faction: Guerrilla mixes a long and involving single-player campaign with a fun and satisfying online segment, with both adding up to a game that proves that a little chaos (or in this case, a lot) can be a positive thing.” The remaster officially releases on July 3 and will cost $30.

Nintendo Switch Could Get More Monster Hunter Games, But Not The One You Want

Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate is scheduled to come to Nintendo Switch on August 28, but everyone wants to know if 2018’s critically acclaimed Monster Hunter World could have a future on the console as well. According to Siliconera, Capcom responded to the question in a Q&A session held after the company’s 39th shareholders meeting.

Turns out the answer is a resounding “no.” Though disappointing, Capcom has its reasons. Monster Hunter World is literally too large a game for Nintendo Switch. Capcom did follow up with the announcement that the Switch might see another Monster Hunter game, something other than Generations Ultimate, added to its library, though.

Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate is the expanded version of 2015’s Monster Hunter Generations for 3DS. We gave the original game an 8/10. In our Monster Hunter Generations review, Justin Haywald said, “After dozens of hours I feel like I’ve barely scratched the surface of this adventure–there are other weapons and Hunter Art combinations I want to try, and of course, there are many more monsters to hunt. With Monster Hunter you get out what you put into the game, and Monster Hunter Generations is a game that compels me to put in more of my time.”

Even if it’s not coming to Switch, Monster Hunter World is getting an update on Xbox One and PS4. On July 13, the game’s summer event, titled Summer Twilight Fest, brings new quests, limited-time bounties, and aesthetic changes to the action RPG. Monster Hunter World comes to PC this fall.

Ubisoft CEO Believes Streaming May Open Door to 5 Billion Players in a Decade

Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot says he believes that streaming games could allow for extreme growth in gaming.

In the YouTube video Q&A, Guillemot responds to a question about console cycles, and noted his belief that the advancements of streaming could add billions of players to the industry over the coming years.

“What we are dreaming is that technology will allow us to actually stream our games to all the TVs, mobile phones, and tablets in the future, and that we will be able to give an opportunity to all our brands to reach 2.5 billion in five years and maybe five billion players within ten years,” Guillemot said.

Forza Horizon 4: IGN’s Real-Life Horizon Road Trip

The Forza Horizon series has been taking us around the globe since 2012. Colorado. Southern Europe. Australia. Now we’re going to Britain.

What do I think of when I think of Britain? Mary Poppins. Michael Caine. Moles?

I dunno; maybe that’s a little unfair. I mean, Australia and Britain aren’t really that different, culturally speaking. Yeah, we love fish and chips too, and we also drive on the left, and we have the same old lady on the back of our money. Sure, there are dissimilarities in the temperature we serve our beer and the amount of venom packed into our spiders, but the differences aren’t really as stark as I think we all like to pretend they are.

Geographically, though? That’s a different story. However, while I’ve been to Britain to visit developers a bunch of times over the past 15 years I still really haven’t seen that much of it in person. The places I’ve experienced are airports, motorways, and the inside of a few pubs. I’ve never really seen the Britain between all that.
