Often though, you’ll end up showing up far too late in order to do any good, finding a slew of dead miners whilst guards attack you with an increasingly nasty array of weaponry, ranging from futuristic cattle prods all the way up to assault rifles and mounted machine guns. The opening level of the game sees Parker witness a brutal murder of a fellow miner at the hands of a security guard, which leads to all heck breaking loose as he has to then try and escape the mines and meet up with his fellow rebelling miners. At points I had to stop myself and ponder if this was just a science fiction plot or rather the living fantasy of a conservative MP from the 1980s. Ultor not only sends the miners into dangerous parts of the planet Mars to do their bidding, but they also regularly have the guards brutalise the miners and also seem to have developed some kind of plague that is ravaging the workforce.
Red Faction is a first-person shooter that sees you playing as a space miner called Parker who, along with his fellow miners, gets thoroughly sick of his treatment at the hands of the Ultor Corporation and decides to get a bit shooty and explody about it as consequence. I can safely say that I will never have enough time to play all of these games, so at the moment it’s tiding me over just fine, with Red Faction being the most recent game that I’ve given the old playtest.ĭeveloped by Voliton and published by THQ in 2001, Red Faction received a reasonable amount of hype from the PS2 magazines of the day, although its sequel won far more plaudits.
One thing that has kept me from shelling out the money and sticking with my PS4 is Sony’s excellent PlayStation Plus Premium subscription service, which not only includes the ability to download PS4 games as part of its fee, but it also allows you to play games from the PS1, PS2 and PS3 back catalogues as well.
As games like Tekken 8 loom on the horizon, I find my resolve to not blow a bunch of money on a PS5 when I should be saving it for things like energy, mortgage and food, etc.
