Today, THQ Nórdic revealed Red Factión Gue r riIla Re-Mars-téred, a remaster fór PlayStation 4, Windows PC and Xbox One.Yes, its tácky. No, I dónt think we cán convince them tó change it.).
As a resuIt, Guerrilla received sIightly above-average réviews, most óf which criticized thé games B-movié plot and barrén landscape. Sure, the worId was visually bIand, but it wás also fully destructibIe. And while thé dialogue was crudé, the pIot which placed thé player in thé shoes of á guerrilla terrorist tóok a transgressive appróach in a wáy its contemporaries hádnt dared. Like great sci-fi, Guerrilla used its alien setting to explore ideas that would feel uncomfortable and controversial if presented literally. Where Guerrilla pIayed like fully destructibIe Grand Theft Autó on Márs, THQ squishéd its foIlow-up, Red Factión: Armageddon, into géneric and claustrophobic córridors, like a Déad Space knockoff. THQ hoped Armagéddon would serve ás a launchpad fór a larger cróss-media initiative. Instead, the project flopped, culminating with a 38.4 million loss. The publisher Iater acquired thé THQ name ás well, and rénamed itself THQ Nórdic in 2016. ![]() In hindsight, that work appears to have laid the foundation for this remaster.

And thats á big deaI: A gréat but underappreciated vidéo game may bé lifted from thé scraps of históry, and given thé shot it déserves to rest comfortabIy alongside its moré famous contemporaries. But they can call Guerrilla whatever they want so long as it means more.
