You should have seen the original PR adverts for the game. They had a guy from discovery channel that used to do a series on advanced weaponry and he did PR videos on the in game weapons as if they were real lol.
Played it on ps3. I would buy again if the online was really good because that experience was very fun and unique but short lived because the matchmaking wasn't good and it probably wasn't popular. The physics engine definitely is still top tier after all of these years.
Thank you! I’m glad I’m not the only one feeling this way. If only EA would stop enforcing games with “surprise mechanics”. I wish EA would be geared toward consumers who want remastered games they help publish. When it comes to the switch all I see from them mainly is FIFA. Thanks EA! (._.)
Saints Row was published by Deep Silver (yes they are part of Thq but they make their own decisions) Darksiders or Red Faction are published by Thq Nordic
The Red Faction series started as a PS2 exclusive (RF1) thus there was also a PS3 port of Guerrilla (RF3) and there is an HD version of Guerrilla in PS4... None of which you mentioned.
Had this on the 360 ten years ago and loved it! Remember being impressed with the physics back then and haven't seen a game that's matched it since. Just ordered it off amazon!
A game originally designed to run on 512MB of RAM and run on 256MB of VRAM runs on the switch. Colour me shocked lol. I played this again on PC about December 2018 and had a blast playing it and got a lot further than I did back in 2009 as it ran a lot smoother on faster hardware but tbf I used to run the game on a ATI 4850 at 1080p, it ran a bit slow at times and tbf I probably could have lowered the resolution down to get it to run smoother. I assume the Switch version is 720p unless in graphics mode which might bump the resolution up.
Red Faction Guerrilla is a must own. Like Kuato from Total Recall said "Open your mind!" Yeah open your minds Switch owners and don't pass this game by.
This game is great , you forgot to mention the multiplayer which is the 2nd best shooter MP game on the Switch - Splatoon being no.1 - but the matches iv played are very short on players but hopefully will get bigger
I got it on PS3 originally. Then I got it on Steam. Got the free upgrade to ReMarstered on Steam and when it came to Switch, I was overjoyed. It was one of 3 major 360/PS3 games that I wanted to be ported(other 2 were Just Cause 2 and RDR1. Neither have been ported yet sadly). Certainly not winning awards for story but the fun in it is the primal joy I take in destroying things. It excels at that
LOL Re-Marstered just doesn't sound right. Gonna have to grab this game! Love Red Faction 2 multiplayer so much, and didn't pick this up when it originally came out because of no local multiplayer. Great coverage per usual, cheers!
I’m very late to the party but rgt 85 is right. The gameplay is the star of the show for this game. It’s on sale for $7.49 on the e-shop right now and I definitely recommend picking it up.
On sale for $2.99 now I’m picking it up who would of thunk that in the future you can download a game for under three dollars . I would’ve actually thought that downloading games at your convenience would be more expensive talking of what I thought of the future would bring if that makes sense.
Bro... Can you please, PLEASE, bring the old intro back! I loved the music and clips! It was so fun and happy I would love to see it again. Do it for everyone my man. We love it!
Yeah thinking about the tech inside this game, just made us think "🤯 how will the next generation games look like??" but of course, we got those potato CPUs 😒 I really hope, we get more games with destruction engines like this next generation though! =o Because those consoles WILL be powerful enough. There's NO excuse next time!
There was not a excuse thise gen. On ps3-360 gen was much more an excuse, because first hd consoles with alot more technics that where new. And still we got games like gta 4-5, red faction 3, mgs 4(still an impressive game) or games like mgs rising. Where you could cut most stuff. This gen the devolopers where just lazy and uninspired... Tbh, i have the feeling: Since we had more powerfull systems, they get more and more lazy. Less power equals beeing more creativ to get things done... And since they got so lazy, things like saints row happends, that should run so much better on switch in comparison.
I saw this thing on the e-shop Discount area , for _$8_ and I thought - ''Mmm, I remember that game being 'quite Good for it's then Groundbreaking Physics on console' about 15 Years ago somewhere''. One of random things you tell yourself. I hadn't bought a Switch game in basically a Year, my latest being Skyward Sword HD; so I just went for it lol! 💫😁
The biggest part of this game for me was the local multiplayer game mode "wrecking crew" you take turns with a set amount of ammo and try to destroy as much as possible, with a point going to whoever wins the round, and you play to a certain number of points, with ammo increasing each round. best part is you use one controller and pass it around, making it a perfect early switch owner multiplayer title. is this mode missing from the switch port?
I played this on Steam and enjoyed the crap out of it awhile back. Puts most modern games to shame with the awesome destruction physics and the progression meta of destroying crap and getting new stuff in return. Tons of fun to be had here.
I know there wasn't going to be any worries about this running out, I am so excited for it I pre ordered it for Switch. I used to play this on Steam, so I was excited to see it on Switch.
Why is this game not being carried anywhere? Went to go get it today, and there was no stock in a GameStop within 25 miles. And Target, Walmart, and Best Buy have no listing for it.
I never played this game back in the day, and honestly didn't care enough to want to buy it... until now. Your recommendation may have swayed me. We'll see. And have a happy birthday, dude!
Jacob Fisher I suggest if you have a PS4 or PS2 to get the first two first(Red Faction and Red Faction II). Characters and concepts from those games make an appearance in this game and it helps expand the universe. ^^
@P R not really. It just was a series that slipped by my attention back in the day. I'm more of an Xbox guy, honestly. I love my Switch, but I wouldn't call myself close to a Nintendo fanboy, since I never had a Wii or WiiU.
People need to play the first two first. I kinda wish they remade RF1 and 2 so people can see why the EDF is on Mars. who Parker is, and what nanotechnology can do.
Midytheimp I played the first on pc and really liked it I was always curious how the series transitioned from FPS to third person and it looks like they nailed it
This game is like putting on your little used favourite old coat and finding ten pounds in the pocket,yes its not a new coat,and it's only finding a tenner but it puts a huge smile on your face.
Shawn. I really hope you do an update video on the online play of this game! When I played back in the day on PC it was SO much fun! I really want this game to get a lot of people to play online so you should get it out there and make a video on the online when it comes out! Happy Birthday Shawn!
not sure why you were having performance issues with saints row 3. from start to finish game ran smooth for me on the switch lite. i got the game few months after release so it was probably the update i got that fixed it. its no gta but its a decent game. as for red faction i wish someone would port over all in the series. not used to red faction being 3rd person since it used to be an fps but i still might buy it. we also need black, ico, shadow of the colossus and grandia 3 from the ps2. we have the grandia hd collection but the one i played the most was 3. even if it wasnt a remaster it would still look great on the switch
THQ Nordic can keep bringing $30-40 ports out all they want. I’m enjoying them
Should be cheaper.
@@oasisbeyond like your mom. Lol
@@oasisbeyond Yeah true but at least it aint 60 bucks.
Who saw you who see you Nintendo
For real, half my library must be THQ Nordic now
That feel when a 10 year old game has better destruction physics than crackdown 3. A game literally sold on that idea
You should have seen the original PR adverts for the game. They had a guy from discovery channel that used to do a series on advanced weaponry and he did PR videos on the in game weapons as if they were real lol.
Stopping to breathe every now and then would help the listen-ability of your reviews.

That's his only cardio, let him suffocate a bit.
He’s says “re-MARS-tered” like 10 times before the intro even starts. I can’t even say it once without my eyes rolling into the back of my head.
Was saying the same thing 🤬
he also says the full "nintendo switch" every fucking time, as if he doesnt already pad out every video five times longer than they need to be...
Played it on ps3. I would buy again if the online was really good because that experience was very fun and unique but short lived because the matchmaking wasn't good and it probably wasn't popular. The physics engine definitely is still top tier after all of these years.
Can we get a port of the mass effect trilogy?
Man I've been saying this I know this would be a big seller on the switch. Three great games on the go
How about Dragon Age Origins first? 😋

id love to see mass effect, bioshock, or deadspace trilogy on switch. especially mass effect

SR was such a dissapointment
@@iRemainNameless I mean, I have played a lot worse. It's no GTA, but it's pretty fun.
@@iRemainNameless sure. Played much worse tbh. Maybe because i grown up in the 90s.
Not surprised by this. Some games age very well and this is one of them. This remaster is just icing on the cake

Played this game on XB360 back in 2009 and it took over my summer. The destruction blew me away and LOVED it.

Ben Loohole how long does it take to beat?
-TWO WEEKS
Absolutely LOVED it! Mark
This is one of the best games I played on 360, I'm so excited about this coming to the Switch!
I've never played Red Faction before. Looks and sounds like a cool game when I do get my Switch this year.
Awesome review, I've been waiting for this. Happy birthday!
Did someone say...Earth Defense Force??
EDF! EDF! EDF!!!
I just got this game just this year and it was on sale for 75% off on the switch this year in 2022
I just bought this game based on your recommendation and absolutely love it!
This was one of the best open world games of the previous generation. Would have been satisfied if Crackdown 3 had even 'this' much destruction lol
Well done on the review. I don't normally listen or watch reviews to decide on a game but it helped me to decide to get it. Cheers ☺
I love how this game works and Ubisoft says R6: Siege will never come to the switch because it can't handle environmental destruction.
Your comparing a game that came out 10 years ago to rainbow six lol that came out a few years ago. It can't handle it
wazgood23 Gaming yet it can handle doom, wolfenstein, Witcher.... it can handle it
@@michaelmyersplays4992Siege came out the same year as Witcher 3, whats your point?
@@TheImprintsIllusion yeah at 540p lol that's impressive bro not lol
@@karlchiasson4946 siege wouldn't run on the switch maybe but a massive downgrade like witcher 3
This game is now on sale for 2.99 usd. I wonder if I should buy it now. 🤔
This game is great , you forgot to mention the multiplayer which is the 2nd best shooter MP game on the Switch - Splatoon being no.1 - but the matches iv played are very short on players but hopefully will get bigger
Hit his Brother at the beginning of the game tutorial and you get a WTF You killed your own brother ending lmao 😂
RGT question what your electric bill look like considering you all have all those arcade machines plugged up I'm thinking about buying some
Is there motion control? Can you use motion to aim and shoot?
This game is 93% off on the switch eShop (in Europe and Australia/NZ) ;D
high graphics mode at 60 FPS is around the corner with switch pro :)

It's currently £1.79 on the eshop (europe only). I hope NA gets it as well 😅
Happy Birthday, RGT85! Thanks for all the videos! I enjoyed watching your videos.
on sale for $5.99 right now in the eShop
Saints Row 3 on Switch now run perfectly

@@SONGOKU02 The PS4 plays Spyro at 720p, 25-30fps. It's a rubbish console. I can play 4k, 60fps on my PC. 😅
I’ll wait for a sale..only because it still got the same bugs in it from 10yrs ago
Does anyone remember the PR videos for this game back in 2009, they were awesome.
Reconsidering buying this based on the Lemmy impression. It’s currently on sale. Apparently I just missed blazing chrome on sale and that one hurts

As long as people play the Multiplayer I'm so down I loved the online on the 360 version had hours and hours into it
Online is trash tho on the switch
Holy crap your birthday is this week to mines the 6th happy birthday my dude!

LOVED the multiplayer back on 360. Ostrich 🔨 4 life.
Is this the same Earth Defense Force that kill giant bug monsters?
I know there wasn't going to be any worries about this running out, I am so excited for it I pre ordered it for Switch. I used to play this on Steam, so I was excited to see it on Switch.
The Wii u pad is not that bad to play with. It just need a lil adjustment plus it was kind of heavy.
Its your birthday? Me too! Happy Birthday Shawn!
Happy birthday bro. Enjoy your channel if u smell what I’m cooking
pick up my pre-order tomorrow morning :) my 1 first ever play through so worth every penny
Just bought this on a whim for $19.99 on Amazon. An absolute blast! (no pun intended)
On sale for 7.49, I'm getting it. Ty for review
Same :)
Props for THQ for not selling old games at full price
Now this is a port i am willing to support, unlike the shoddy devil may cry port, and its only $30 bucks for a physical copy
Not really into this game. But having you sounding so enthusiastic, makes me rethink again
I remember playing this with my pops back in 2010 on the ps3. saw it on the e store and had to make sure RGT 85 approved before I copped lol.
in the year 2023 it was on sale for $2.99 in the switch store, worth it fun game with a hammer.
I played the demo of this way back on my cousin's 360. I do plan on getting this for my Switch!
Why is this game not being carried anywhere? Went to go get it today, and there was no stock in a GameStop within 25 miles. And Target, Walmart, and Best Buy have no listing for it.
Cool! Happy Birthday RGT!!
I just got this game for 3$ on sale todag. I played Red Faction 2 on PS2 so im going to play this for sure.

Happy birthday Shawn‼️

How would you consider this a remaster it's on a switch if it was on a more powerful console or PC it would be considered a remaster
Yes!! EDF is back and the hammer is ready. Glad to hear that it runs smooth. I'll pick this up eventually along with Darksiders.
