Red Faction Armageddon's Singularity Cannon

Post by Aggressor Prime »

So Red Faction Armageddon has got me interested simply from the fact that the Red Faction franchise kind of replaced Descent 4. Looking through the weapons for the game, I came across this sweet toy.



Is it just me or does this look suprisingly similar to the Black Shark Missile? I don't know many games that use this concept of putting black holes that explode in their weapons.

Yeah it does, and there is also a weapon that's like the cyclone missile as well.

:o

I wonder how much of the gameplay will have this fighter. If people make some custom maps, its Descent all over again! Volition, I love you. We all knew you couldn't let Descent die. 6DOF baby!

This game deserves game of the year.

If it supports modding this could be a better base to use for G'Blanix....

Yeah, not really 6DoF. But that's as close as we'll see for a console game, especially being only a minor part of the overall game. I'm not complaining. :)

Seeing that the video is from the console version.
Is it even possible to use banking on an xbox360 controller?

Anyways, the PC version might have a different control scheme.

Banking probably wrecks a lot of folks' co-ordination, so that's to be expected.
