Red Faction (1)

PlayStation 2

The Red Faction PS2 demo was distributed on compilation demo discs (usually from magazines), as well as via a standalone disc requested directly from THQ.

Included Maps

Turret Training Range (ps2_turr.rfl): Short level for demonstrating the GeoMod engine. Features an arsenal of explosive available to the player and several waves of guards to kill.
Icy Submarine Bay (ps2_sub.rfl): Icy submarine bay featuring a male miner warming his hands over a flaming oil drum, as well as a Submarine suspended on a crane. Hitting the button in the control room causes the vehicle to drop and break through the ice. After dropping the submarine, the player can pilot it to another submarine bay after killing an enemy submarine and a Sea Creature. The first part of this level appears to be a variation of L5S3: Sub Bay.
Docking Bay (ps2_L3S4.rfl): Docking bay level containing several guards and ending with the player fighting a Drone. This level is an early version of L3S4: Exit from Docking Bay.

Differences from Released Game

Hendrix and PA announcer use different voice actors.
Jump and landing sounds for the player are different.
Pain and death sounds for guard enemies are different.
Sea Creature enemy is much more challenging and has different sounds.
Suit Repair pickup has a different mesh.
