Due to a conference call that was held recently, everyone already knew that THQ was creating a third installment in the Red Faction series, but THQ has made it official. They’ve announced today that they are developing Red Faction: Guerilla and they’re changing this one up a bit.
For one, this game will be a third person shooter. It’ll no longer be in the first person perspective that you’ve grown used to. It’ll also have a full cover system that will allow for guerilla style tactics. Hence the name I guess. I’ve always love Red Faction, but I really don’t know how I feel about the perspective change. I love those destructive environments though. You can expect to pick it up for PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 sometime in THQ’s fiscal 2009 year, so at least before March 31, 2009.
