The ‘reMARStered’ version doesn’t disappoint as everything you loved from the original is present once more within this new and improved version, only with more polish and sparkles! First things first, I’ve had a lot of fun with this game on the PS4 Pro, the game ran at a great framerate for the vast majority of the game, until I was tasked with blowing up a bridge – that kind of made my framerate drop to about Just Cause 3 levels, but it only happened once (I have a video below). Okay, so I imagine a fair few of you out there have already seen Red Faction Guerrilla before, or at least heard of it as it’s infamous for its level of destruction. ![]() The only reason Alec manages to live is that a group of Red Faction guerillas take out his captors and enrol him as one of them within a matter of minutes. However, Alec will soon truly understand what’s going on as he sees his brother slaughtered by the EDF in cold blood whilst he also almost loses his life. This made it even harder for Alec to believe when he finds out his brother is secretly a member of the Red Faction, the rebel alliance on Mars. Just a side note – people of Earth don’t actually know that the EDF has taken control of Mars as the fake propaganda which is plastered all over the place makes out that Mars is a great place to both live and work. You can probably see where this is going… The EDF basically took control of Mars, forced people to work non-stop, removed everyone’s rights, and overall became a right pain in the backside to everyone!Īlec Mason, our protagonist and a budding miner, has just arrived on Mars in order to meet up with his brother, Daniel, and help out in terms of supplying Earth with resources. So, as an alternative, the leaders here on Earth demanded that the people of Mars must work harder and supply more raw materials for Earth to survive. However, Earths resources were running low which resulted in the global economy collapsing on our home turf. The EDF (Earth Defence Force – no, not THAT EDF…), which were the allies during the original Red Faction game, have now become the antagonists – what a turn of events! Initially, everything was great, the EDF were deployed on Mars in order to support the miners and protect their well being as a kind of ‘police force’. Red Faction Guerrilla: ReMARStered is set in the year 2125. I say ‘up to’ for a reason, which I’ll get into later on in my review… ![]() There is another option for a native 2160p at 30fps but I found it more enjoyable playing it with a smoother framerate. One thing, before I go into detail, I played the game in its ‘performance’ mode on the PS4 Pro, this is a 1500p resolution at ‘up to’ 60fps. With its emphasis on “if you see it, you can break it to pieces”, Red Faction Guerrilla was basically an open sandbox that existed purely to let you go wild and destroy everything which stands before you, be it a bridge, tower, building, or even someones face! So, with THQ Nordic announcing a remastered version, I knew I had to get hold of it and play it once more just to see if it both stands up today and if it’s as fun as I remember it being many years ago. The game itself was a bit of a hidden gem as a lot of people overlooked it at the time, only to return to it at a later date and realise how much fun the game can be. Back in 2009, THQ and Volition released Red Faction Guerrilla on the PS3, Xbox 360 and PC via GFWL.
