Red Faction TV movie

[Aegis]

This sounds really cool - Syfy is working on a TV movie for Red Faction which might turn into a full blown TV series.

Red Faction TV movie being produced by Syfy; ongoing series possible -- Joystiq

It looks like THQ and the still awkwardly named Syfy have more than just De Blob in store for their transmedia tryst: Broadcasting & Cable reports that "Syfy has just closed a deal to bring Red Faction to television via a two-hour movie, which will also serve as a back-door pilot." A "back-door pilot," for those of you not in on television industry jargon, is defined by Variety as a "pilot episode filmed as a standalone movie, so it can be broadcast if it is not picked up as a series." So, in other words, Syfy is making a Red Faction movie, ostensibly tied into the new, more "narrative" game expected in early 2011, with the hope of continuing the production as an ongoing series.

I for one am looking forward to seeing the protagonist sucker someone onto a singularity bomb

just hoping they line up some of BSG's writing talent for the task.

It can't be any worse than the games, I guess.

RF1 was awesome. RF:G was awesome. both were ground breaking (although the third had less ground in favour of more buildings).

i dont know what you were playing but i suspect it had ponies and rainbows and shit.

[rec]

Red Faction 1 was a joke. A gimmick. Once you had blown some holes in a few walls it was a big, fat, poorly produced zZzz.

[Aegis]

had a decent enough storyline and multiplayer was awesome.

[rec]

The multiplayer was fun, you're right. That was its only saving grace imo.

since when has single player been relevant in an MP game?

[rec]

Since when was Red Faction not a single player game?

[paladin]

i've never played it single player, played a bit of MP tho. so uh. since forever!

[mepm]

yea red faction multi is quite awesome and heaps of fun.
campaign is a snoozefest

[Aegis]

yeah, because slapping bitches around from the cockpit of a mech is boring as sin - you and rec ought to go cuddle in a corner somewhere, maybe that's the excitement you're after? ;p

[mepm]

its extremely repetitive is all
fun at first but after awhile...

[Wrathlon]

Throwing sticky bombs on enemies.

Need I say more.

Never Played the games so no idea how this is. But purely from game + "syfy", I would say it's anus.

Apparently showed in june, but it's now out on dvd, hooray.
