Character detail does look great, I hope the game is fun.
I read they are not gonna add multiplayer in this game, so I hope SP is gonna be great.
I was hoping they wouldn't do multiplayer. I am so tired of games tacking on worthless multiplayer experiences, usually at the expense of the singleplayer campaign, as if multiplayer was necessary in every game (BioShock 2, I am looking squarely at you).
And let's face facts, two weeks after those games come out, everyone is back playing Halo, Call of Duty, and Battlefield multiplayer anyway. So it is a waste of two years of development, just to have multiplayer on most games.
Unless a game really has something different, fresh or new to offer multiplayer (ala Brink), I'd really wish the developers would not waste all the time and resources trying to make a lackluster multiplayer experience, and just focus on making the singleplayer all that it could be.
So dropping multiplayer, is the best news I have heard all year concerning Red Faction: Armageddon. And it's looking more like a day one purchase, instead of a rental, thanks to that news alone.

Very true.
Never thought of it like that before...
I find it kind of funny to see men wearing like 5 inch chest armours on, while you expect the women's boobs to pop out of their 'battle clothings'.
In warzones, distraction seems to be more efficient than protection...
Red Faction did have MP from the beginning of the first game no? so its common sense to expect them to keep the tradition.
I for one wont touch CoD until I see an overhaul which I doubt that will happen, and Battleifield (BC2 bores me, hopefully BF3 is better) and I dont have a 360 for Halo nor care.
I will personally stick with Killzone 3 for now and soon SOCOM 4.
But you know, I dont care if they remove MP, as long as they make a great SP game then its all good.
The party play style multiplayer was really fun so I hope that returns. Competitive was boring as hell though. Loved the single player even though it got rather repetitive.
This has been a fun series. I really enjoyed the previous multiplayers for their simplicity. It felt like playing some good ole fashioned q3. Most of the modern multiplayer fps lack the intenisty/ferocity that the old school fps had due to their increased complexity. That aside, I cant wait for this game, I've loved the series, cant wait to see this rendition. (somewhere in the distance Sopot's speach begins)
The tits are a bit distracting.. fine.. something to look at if the story is shit. I kinda got a descent freespace feeling from this trailer (the flying thing and the non-human enemies with red lines), which is a brilliant thing. One of my favourite games :)

characters look like a generation ahead of infamous 2 or something. probably bullshotery.
Those are not real time gameplay graphics, its cutscene, different thing.
I think Infamous 2 uses all real time from gameplay to cutscenes, could be wrong.
