Title: Red Faction: Origins (yea, it's a SyFy Channel TV show)
Post by: Unknown Target on October 26, 2011, 03:13:07 am: I know, right?

On the one hand this looks awful, on the other hand I think it's actually really cool to have a live action show that's in the universe of a game, especially with vehicles that actually are the same ones for the most part as the ones in the game (Wing Commander movie being a glaring example of the opposite).

Also, can it really be called a "best selling videogame saga"? According to Wiki (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_best-selling_PC_video_games) it's not. Also don't know if I'd really call Red Faction a "saga". Freespace maybe yea but Red Faction?

Wait, is Eureka included in that? Exclude it, then answer my question. :P

Post by: Bobboau on October 26, 2011, 04:59:16 pm: The Half-Life Beyond Black Mesa fan movie was made by people who gave a **** about what they were doing.

Post by: Nuke on October 26, 2011, 09:12:30 pm: this is the syfy mentality on science fiction:
lets spell it wrong, then we can do it wrong. cancel every decent show on the network, replace it with c grade movies, reality shows, soap operas and wrestling. the channel offers me no reason what so ever to continue watching it.

if they went back to their roots and played classic sci-fi i might actually find a reason to watch their channel, but they cant even do that. when they start doing reruns for more recent series, they dont play em in order and they leave gaps, sometimes they only play a few episodes and just stop. they can do nothing right and thats why i dont watch their network anymore. the channel to watch for good series right now is amc, every series they do is watchable at worst and ****ing epic at best.
