They have a Korean map so you can guess who their totally apolitical game is going to paint as the bad guys.

There’s no way a big game studio is gonna pull a Homefront. Even chuds thought that was silly.

Surely???

They could just make it China vs US with Korea as the battleground. They did it for BF3 with Russia vs US in Iran.

They already did that kinda in BF4 but they just used maps in Russia/China mostly and one map in DPRK in the DLC

I’m at least hoping they’ll want to sell the game in China or something and won’t have China as an enemy.

they’re going multiplayer only, so hopefully they won’t be painting one side (China or Russia) as “the bad guys” like they did in 3 and 4 which had a singleplayer story.

On one hand, the lack of a singleplayer is a pleasant surprise.

On the other, I’m still playing $60+ for a multiplayer game.

Well, they have full Chinese localization, so maybe.

Red Faction series are classics of FPS genre, and literally about violent struggle of workers against corp/state forces.

It seemed there was a sequel in the works called RF Evolution in 2019. I guess with all that’s happened in the last few years most publishers would not want to touch this IP … as it’s become ‘too political’.

Hell ya! I’d recommend Red Faction Guerilla if you have a decent gaming PC. It’s a GTA-like in many ways. RF1 should be able to run on most any fairly modern system and introduces the trademark destruction mechanic aka GeoMod tech.

If you run linux, they all run pretty well via proton/wine. https://www.protondb.com/search?q=red faction

I vaguely remember the advertising for Evolution making it seem like they dropped the political themes and it just became about fighting aliens in a mine or some shit. But that’s an old impression based entirely on a trailer, so I could be wrong

Me storming parliament with the revolutionary cadres

This is the era of de-politicized political games. CoD, Far Cry, Battlefield etc. where politics and war are just an aesthetic and they don’t actually mean anything.

Also I’d like to congratulate them for managing to turn the fucking incoming climate apocalypse into a product
