Talk:Red Faction (video game)

Storyline
The one thing that annoys me about this article is the sheer depth in which the storyline is described. I propose a condensed version of the story, detailing the key points, along with the "levels" of the game in the order they are discovered in the game.

I don't think it's necessary to tell the reader: Eventually Parker makes his way via secret underwater caverns to Capek's undetected research facilities for nanotechnology

Perhaps a more simple approach will suffice:


 * Garbage Processing Facility - Parker encounters an Ultor Personnel Suppression Combot which must be defeated by luring it into the incinerator.
 * Medical Labs - Parker must use a disguise to compromise the heavily guarded laboratories.
 * Capek's Zoo - It is revealed that Capek is using miners as guinea pigs for nanotechnology experiments.
 * Capek's Inner Sanctum - Parker kills Capek.
 * Grand Canyon - It is revealed that Colonel Masako has sent mercenaries to combat the rebellion.
 * Satellite Control Tower - Parker sends an SOS message to the EDF fleet.

etc.

There was a MASSIVE error in the timeline, as it said RF took place in 2075, when in fact it took place in the 2158 (since RF2 occurs 5 years after RF, and the date is 2163 in that game). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.241.98.157 (talk) 19:59, 23 August 2008 (UTC)

 * I think that the amount of content included in the storyline section is appropriate for an encyclopedia. Perhaps a summary paragraph or section can be added before the main portion of the section.

I hate to be a "Grammar Nazi", but the Plot section needs a rewrite for grammar reasons. It is full of run-on sentences and other grammatical errors, such as the following: Hendrix tells Parker that the mercenaries have orders to destroy the mining complex, covering up any proof of Ultor's wrongdoing, Hendrix is killed soon after this by the mercenaries.

That's only one of many sentences that needs to be split into two or three sentences. For example: Hendrix tells Parker that the mercenaries have orders to destroy the mining complex, which would cover up the proof of Ultor's wrongdoing. Hendrix is killed soon afterwards by the mercenaries.

GeoMod Engine
I've added in links to a new encyclopedia page called "GeoMod Engine" where appropriate. I do not know anything about this engine though, other than the basics that are already outlined in the Red Faction entry, so someone else is going to have to provide the knowledge about it. -- OranL (talk) 21:53, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

Top-Down Shooter
I don't believe Red Faction is one. 98.215.64.36 (talk) 07:13, 19 July 2008 (UTC)
 * You're right, it isn't one. I'm removing it.192.197.71.189 (talk) 15:52, 23 July 2008 (UTC)

Communism
Should there be details on the communist overtones of the game? I mean, just look at the cover art. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.9.128.253 (talk) 06:11, 9 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Don't you mean undertones? Anyways, yes, that is appropriate to the storyline, I'll add it soon.

Clean Up
This page is scattered and loosely formed. The page would better fit an encyclopedic format if it were to be cleaned up.
