Title: FreeSpace References in Red Faction: Guerilla
Post by: terran_emperor on February 07, 2010, 01:21:28 pm
I'm serious. I've been playing Red Faction Guerilla and ive discovered that :v: snuck in several references to FS.

As far as I know ATM they are "Cameos" by FS2 Characters.

They don't actually appear, but their names are called out in Radio Chatter during Missions.

So far, I've noticed:

Cordova (242 Suicide Kings Leader) - "Where's Cordova? Anyone seen Cordova?"

Becket (94th Raptors Leader) - "We Lost Becket" or "They Got Becket" cant remember which

Snipes (SOC Loop Guy) - Exact Quote unknown

I'll put up more as I notice them.

Anybody else spot any others?

The achievement 'Freed Space' for shooting down a certain number of gunships.

Subach's stock crashing in one of the random newsblurbs.

One of the stock lines NPCs will utter in the base is "I wonder what happened to Bosch?".

This just makes me think they are taunting us  :p

But at least it means they're still thinking about it, so that's positive :)

Hmmm....
 
All I can think of is that the guy you play as looks a bit like one of the Terran Command .ANIs.
 
Maybe some of the landmarks have references. Not bothered looking too much as I only just managed to blow the bridge in the badlands with the sexy nanorifle.

Maybe in a DLC you get to see Lucy pop into the solar system blow up? That'd be nice  ;7

Sorry. RF:G is set about 215 years before FS1...But I like to think RF & FS are in the same universe

Well if subach stock features then thats canon as far as i'm concerned. Also as you all know Ultor is heavily featured in saints row which means alpha ones great grandad could have been a gangbanger. . .

In one of the news broadcasts you hear in RFG it's stated that the Hydra is the "Largest space-faring warship ever constructed" which I'm pretty sure is the exact same line Command used when the GTVA Colossus was deployed.

Pretty funny to see references to Freespace, yeah.

Is Red Faction Guerilla a good game though? Curious if it's worth spending all that hard earned money I got here...

Confirmed. That's what the narrator said word for word in the Colossus cutscene, but I'm not 100% convinced it's an intentional FS reference. "The most <adjective> <noun> ever" is a generic sentence that you can use whenever you introduce something badass in your universe. It's not like somebody was (humorously) promised a promotion to admiral if his advice was needed in a difficult situation, or some antagonist requiring "unfeterred access to <insert location here>".

it was better than I had expected, though you could probably get by with renting.

Yeah that's true enough, I guess with all the other freespace references in the game I just wanted it to be another reference  ;).

Red Faction 2 is saints row with less hip hop and more total recall + geo mod.
 
 
 
It works.
Plus i'm in love Rawr!

That is not what Red Faction 2 is.

Might fit for Red Faction: Guerilla, but RF2 is more of a generic FPS.

the quote is "The Colossus is the most powerful space-faring warship ever constructed..." but i'd say its close enough

An overt typo on my part.
