Yes, once someone decides it's a profitable idea.

I remember liking this game despite the vast tracts of nothing and nonrespawning architecture. Some of the best moments involved

>running down tunnel while gun ship is hosing me

>each end of tunnel is damaged and severed

>begins to collapse with me still inside

> barely make it to the end before the while thing drops

And

>in one of the few multistory buildings in last area

>shooting it out with edf

>gunship arrives

>shoot it down

>gunships are coded to fall on the player when shot down

>plows into the side of the building

>building starts to collapse

If they had built a city and made buildings regen after a day or three then wrapped it in an excuse to get into fire fights, this game would have been perfect.

>>literally uses an updated version of Havok which HL2 bastardized for .its "physics" engine

A better question is on implementation not ability of the engine, and that answer is easily no. No game company is going to pay programmers enough to workout a great system of implementation for a game engine, instead why not just ship it over to India. Probably publishers see THQ games catalog as what not to do anyway and why only DOW1 is any good.

It's coming out this year actually. The buildings actually don't collapse anywhere that fast, they severely increased the firepower in that tech demo. In actual gameplay demo, it would take probably a week of constant shooting for a building that large to actually collapse.

There was actually a menu option to reset the buildings if I recall correctly. You didn't get any more scrap from them but it let you blow shit up again and again at least.

What the fuck were they thinking by making Armageddon a linear generic corridor shooter? All they had to do was make another game like Guerrilla but more polished and they fucked it all up.

About the only thing on par was Mercenaries. Maybe Just Cause 2. It's retarded, the people who own them now must have the same tech. Probably wasted on things I don't even pay attention to peripherially.

Did they even add on to anything they did for wrecking crew? I played about five minutes of Armageddon.

I guess there's also the Hulk game on GC or Blast Corps. There are some autistic demolition simulators too. Someone bring something new, for fuck sake. And none of that Beam.NG/KSP bullshit. Nothing that exists solely for lol physics. I saw another dumb fucking one that was just about breaking various objects, made by some chink, and no guillotine elevators. Shameful.

Think of it this way. At least Volition doesn't own the IP anymore and the new owners of it only bothered to spruce up every game but Armageddon.

So if there ever is another Red Faction it will most likely be a Guerilla follow up

Destruction physics aside, is this game worth playing?

I remember THQNordic saying they had intentions of making a sequel, but they've been silent on that for years. I'm guessing they're testing the waters with Darksiders 3 before they commit on making sequels to other properties they bought up.

It's pretty alright in my opinion, as a fuck around open world game.

That kind of destruction was supposedly limited to the multiplayer modes too with single player not including anywhere near as much.

That said, the Xbone absolutely lacks the hardware grunt to manage that shit at all.
