Although publishers typically promote their upcoming games by showing them off at gaming events, arranging for preview coverage, or just blasting out press releases, news of THQ's soon-to-be-resuscitated Red Faction franchise has been emerging primarily from the publisher's investor-focused conference calls.

A return of the franchise--which hasn't been seen since Red Faction II launched on the PC in April of 2003--was first hinted at to investors in a conference call. Weeks later, a new Red Faction was then explicitly mentioned by management in a conference call. Months later, the publisher brought the project up again in a conference call.

Today, THQ CEO Brian Farrell brought up the new Red Faction in yet another conference call. The executive promised that more on the game would be shown in the coming weeks, but he did drop a few additional details today. Referring to it as "Red Faction III" for the first time, Farrell said it is being made by THQ's Volition Studios for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC. As one would expect, it will bring back the series' hook of interactive environments, using the power of the new consoles and PCs to incorporate "more exciting destruction technology."

As for when gamers can expect to blast through Red Faction III, THQ is planning the game for its fiscal 2009, which runs from April 2008 through March 2009.

Finally! Been waiting to hear news on this for a while, Red Faction was an excellent game SP and what got me into MP FPS.

Hopefully it won't be like 2 but until then Huzzah! :D

I thought it's core gameplay was generic but i just loved the MP and the blasting through walls to find my mates/enemies a blast! Hadn't seen it in a game before that.

maybe i was put off by the control scheme, never got on with FPS on the PS2. I played Red Faction 2 on PC and it just seemed like a really average shooter.

TimeSplitters and TimeSplitters 2 by a long way. First for MP, second for SP and Co-Op.

Agreed but I don't see why you would play such great Co-op games single player?

I never really read reviews or browsed forums back then but I hope those games got the praise and recognition they deserved :)
 
destructable environments ***. \o/

First Red Faction was a decent enough game for me, I enjoyed it :)

What do you mean? I said I rated it for the Co-Op?

I mean there have been many great single player games over the years but it is difficult to make decent coop games, timesplitters being one of the greats I wondered why even mention single player :p
 
This didn't turn me on the first time around and Battlefield Bad Company has the blowing up walls thing covered, probs with a deeper multiplayer mode so whats this got left?
