While the transferred Project Black staff carried out wider research on Red Faction, the existing Project White team worked on a "visual prototype" or "fake trailer" created with Unreal Engine 5, to present to Plaion. At this early stage, there were many ideas about the project's direction, some of which would likely have been abandoned as the game evolved. But the basic ambition was to create something similar to 2009's open world third-person Red Faction: Guerrilla, in which you can tear down whole bases with a sledgehammer, while ignoring the events of the under-loved fourth Red Faction game, Red Faction: Armageddon. "We were trying to look at what did Guerrilla do right, what did Armageddon do wrong, and how can we marry the two and continue on with it," one source explained.

Now this is something that is of interest! Of course, it's not actual gameplay yet, but the concept is very much my thing. Loved Dark Messiah.
Same, and I've always wanted a sequel or spiritual successor. Looks like it's here!

It looks great, but unrealistically fluid. Is it really going to control well enough to play like that?

Dark Messiah managed it. In fact I'd say it was a masterclass in how to give players a huge array of things they can do (with tools, the environment, etc) with a very simple interface. If you were facing off three goblins, you could stab one, dropkick another off a cliff and pick up a box to lunge at the third with minimal effort.

I'll have to give some gameplay of that a watch, I only vaguely remember the name and I certainly never tried it myself.

I tried replaying it on PC a year or two ago. It's a little unstable (there are probably fixes) but the gameplay holds up.

Never played Dark Messiah but it looks very interesting.

Anyone been following the Dr Disrespect stuff over the past few days?
It's wild how quickly it went from a tweet that didn't name him directly, to him denying it, to him admitting that actually yes, he did do it, but as it wasn't technically illegal guys it means it was fine, to now being dropped by every affiliated sponsor and organisation and getting demonetised on YT.

It's just as shocking that Twitch allowed this to all be hushed up at the time, he should have got his commupance years ago. The guy was in his 30s ffs.

I think it's likely they were keeping it quiet to cover their own backs and possible liability.
It's sad that the victim - and future possible victims - did not enter their thinking at all.
