Line 1: {{work}} [[File:red faction guerrilla logo.png\|frame]] ''[[~~File:red~~Red ~~faction guerrilla logo.png\|frame~~Faction]] ~~''Red Faction~~'' is a video game series developed by Volition, Inc, set in the future of [[Canon Welding\|the same universe as their]] ''[[Saints Row]]'' series (and possibly the past of their ''[[Descent]]'' series,) where [[Insignificant Little Blue Planet\|Earth]] has exhausted its supply of natural resources, and depends on mining operations on [[The Red Planet\|Mars]] for the survival of its economy. The main gameplay draw of the ''Red Faction'' series is the Geo-Mod engine, a [[Stuff Blowing Up]] simulator ''par excellence''. Geo-Mod 1, used in ''Red Faction 1'' and ''Red Faction 2'', was based primarily around terrain deformation: Rock could be torn away with your weapons, but metal surfaces were usually safe. Geo-Mod 2, used in ''Red Faction: Guerrilla'', reverses this, enabling the player to destroy buildings using a physics system so realistic the game developers actually had to [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GQ6XM7NfGr8 study architecture] to get the buildings to stand up. All five games take place in the same universe, although ''Red Faction 2'' has very little to do with the others. ''Red Faction 1'' is about a [[La Résistance\|miners' uprising]] on Mars against the corrupt [[Mega Corp\|Ultor Corp.]], the massive, corrupt conglomerate that manages the mining operations on Mars, in the style of the British East India Company ([[Even Evil Has Standards\|though that]] ''MIGHT'' [[Insult to Rocks\|be an insult to the BEIC]]). Through the [[One-Man Army\|heroic actions]] of miner-turned-revolutionary Parker, and the intervention of the [[The Federation\|Earth Defense Force]], Ultor's reign of terror is brought to an end. Line 15 ⟶ 16: As of the 27th of July 2011, the series [[Screwed by the Network\|is cancelled]], due to dramatically poor sales of ''Red Faction Armageddon''. This might not be the end of the franchise - the same thing did happen after Red Faction II - but for the time being it's shelved. ~~----~~ {{tropelist}} ~~== The game series provides examples of ==~~ * [[All Your Base Are Belong to Us]]: In the middle of a ''Guerrilla'' mission, the game pulls a swerve: {{spoiler\|without warning the mission is aborted and you have to race to save a safehouse from a full-on assault.
