We recently took a quick look at the PC version of Red Faction: Guerrilla , a physics-heavy console action game. The PC version of the game has been in development for about a year at Ann Arbor, Michigan-based Reactor Zero and will arrive on the PC fully intact, with every last bit of content from the console version, including all the content from the first downloadable content installment, Demons of the Badlands. In fact, the PC version will also ship with two additional exclusive multiplayer maps, plus the six additional Wrecking Crew mode maps that were available with preorder for the console version, plus content from the second DLC update for consoles which hasn't yet been released, which includes six more Wrecking Crew maps and the Bagman and Team Bagman multiplayer modes. With all this extra content packed in, Volition intends for the PC version of the game to be the "definitive" version of RFG.
The PC version of Red Faction: Guerilla will be packed with all prior console DLC and pre-order content, plus advance content from the next console DLC pack that isn't even out yet.
The PC version of Red Faction: Guerrilla will bring over Volition's proprietary GeoMod 2.0 physics technology, which models extensive environmental destruction for just about everything in the world. It will also include what Volition describes as "full DirectX 10 support," which can be seen in features like advanced lighting that procedurally pokes through destroyed rubble. The PC version has also been developed with support for the USB Xbox 360 controller and has been optimized for mouse-and-keyboard setups.
Otherwise, the PC version of Guerrilla will offer the full RFG console experience, including the entire story of Alec Mason, the miner-turned-guerrilla-warrior who joins the rebellious Red Faction to oppose the oppressive regime of the Earth Defense Force on the red planet of Mars. Guerrilla will also, as mentioned, offer Demons of the Badlands, a full prequel to the game starring Samanya, one of RFG's secondary characters. It takes place before Samanya's time with Red Faction and explains how she came to join the rebellion.
Red Faction: Guerilla touches down on the PC later this month.
Red Faction: Guerrilla for the PC looks like it will offer plenty of stuff to play with right out of the box when the game ships on September 15.
