Red Faction weapon screen grabs

[Enjay]

In another thread:

Saved the pic, I have.

Do you want any of the other Red Faction Weapons? I screengrabbed a few and cut them out. I was just seeing how things would look so I didn't do anything more than cut out a single frame for each one but... here goes.

I managed to get the game running at 320x200 and then just grabbed a single frame of each weapon just to see what it might look like. Most, if not all, would require a bit of "post processing" to make them look good. All weapons (obviously) have some kind of animation in the game and I think that they all have alt-fire modes, some of which change the appearance of the weapon. If there is anything here that you want more grabs of, I can do that but I won't have time to cut them out so it would just be some screen grabs for you to work with. These days, of course, I could do higher resolution ones too. These original pictures were mostly grabbed some time ago.

Assault Rifle


Big Machine Gun


Flame thrower (alt fire takes off the canister and throws it like a flame grenade)


Nuke


Pistol (alt fire fits a silencer to it)


Railgun (alt fire is a scope with heat-sensing that allows you to see enemies through walls - the rail can fire through walls (V. Cool))


Rifle (altfire is a sniper scope)


Rocket launcher (this one is not resized as the previous one that I posted was)


Shotgun


Sniper Rifle (alt fire is a sniper scope)


Sub machine gun

And the screen grabs that I didn't even get as far as cutting out

Electrical baton


Riot Shield


Grenade


Explosive pack and trigger

I'll link to a video on YouTube of how they all behave if my upload ever finishes.

I really should play RF again. Those sprites are excellent. :D

[Mikk-]

It would be a bit of a problem editing out the riot-shield!

[Enjay]

Yeah, I think, if you used the riot shield at all, you'd have to make an opaque version with a view hole in it or something. I don't think that even translucent sprites would cut it.

Aaaanyway, the video finally uploaded. It starts off just showing the basic fire modes of the different weapons (primary, alt and any reload animations they have) then right at the end, I quickly used some of the more interesting weapons to do stuff: charge pack on an enemy, flame thrower, rocket launcher's IR view screen (hard to see in low res), sniper scope and the rail firing through a wall. Also, it shows the Red Faction glass breaking effect - possibly the best looking glass break effect I have seen in any game.

[edit] Oh, and for those wanting to play Red Faction again, I recommend getting "Pure faction" which allows some options that the original game didn't have (more choice of screen resolutions, for example) and eliminates any problems that I had running the game on Vista 64 bit.

I would call it a Red Faction source port but I believe that it was coded without the source being available. However, I have managed to run a LAN game with one machine using Pure faction and the other using red Faction.

It may look as if it is only set up for multi-player games, but it runs single player perfectly too. [/edit]

The cool thing about the riot shield is that as it took damage, you could see it crack and fill with bullet holes. For a purely defensive weapon, it was pretty cool, but I hardly ever used it.

[Enjay]

but I hardly ever used it.

Yeah, that was the problem with it. It was pretty cool but irrelevant to the player's ability to complete the game or even take part in a firefight. So, you just never used the thing because it's better to have a gun at the ready.

Ooh, wow, thanks for posting these up! I've always been a fan of RF's weaponry -- the pistol especially looks really cool for whatever reason.

And it also appears that the Assault Rifle knows the answer to life, the universe and everything.

I was thinking about getting some of the weapons from this game. Is there not some kind of model viewer? Taking a weapon from a screenshot is kind of tacky.

[Enjay]

Is there not some kind of model viewer?

There may be, but I haven't found one.

[Pisstepank]

mm these sprites are really nice ! :]
i like the shotgun and the sniper rifle! can i try to put doomguy hand and make some reload animation ?

[Enjay]

You can do whatever you like with them. I'd be interested to see the results.

Do you want me to screengrab any more frames? I'll be honest, I can't be bothered cutting any more out but if you just want some game screengrabs to work with, let me know which weapons and I'll do that.

[Pisstepank]

im not sure to work with the sniper but im gonna try , im sure i want to edit that shotgun, i love it ! can you put more frame of it plz ?

[Pisstepank]

well finally you don't need to search more frame for the shotgun i made one with the one you already give :P

[Enjay]

Oh. OK. I was going to do them when I got home from work but if there is no need then I'll leave it.

[Ghastly]

I already finished most of the weapons with complete behaviour and high-res, fluid animation sprites for a friend's birthday.

Unfortunately, she stopped playing Doom and hasn't even looked at them, so that was 40 total hours worth of work down the drain.
