In this news entry from the Red Faction Guerrilla Community Portal they go onto detail the demo prerequisites for the upcoming multiplatform Sci-Fi Third Person Shooter.

"Since early details have been spotted on the GameStop newsletter and website, we'll get more specific here and detail what will be included in the demo, as well as the proposed dates for access.

First and foremost, the demo will be available for both Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. This demo will focus on a segment of the single-player campaign mode, allowing players to experience various weapons, vehicles, and combat styles before our upcoming release in June. If you would like to gain exclusive early access to the demo, walk into your local GameStop or EB Games and pre-order Red Faction: Guerrilla before April 23rd (or pre-order it online). If you pre-order in-store, you will receive a card with a code and instructions one week prior to demo launch."

Once you've pre-ordered, all you have to do is wait anxiously for April 3rd(unless you pre-ordered after that date) to roll around before you'll be able to access the demo and partake in some destruction-filled mayhem on Mars. Make sure you've cleared some space off your hard drive (I recommend 1 GB) for the demo beforehand.

OXM UK reports that Volition Inc needed to draft in help from Sony to get Red Faction: Guerilla up to speed with the Xbox 360 version.

Associate Producer Sean Kennedy tells OXM UK that the problem was that the PlayStation3 has less memory to work with than the Xbox 360, which is why the extra help from Sony was needed.

The press release for the Red Faction: Guerilla Collector's Edition doesn't mention any outlandish stunt-packaging so at least you won't have to try and fit a box shaped like a helmet or a colonist's femur or something onto your games shelf.
For around $89 you can pick up a copy of the game (Xbox or PS3), plus an 'art' coffee table book, bonus DVD (probably a 'making of' or something) and a 5-inch poly resin Mining Walker statuette with 'pewter hand railings' (er, cool?).
The Collector's Edition has a suggested retail price of $89.99, and can be pre-ordered now through GameStop retail stores and the company's official website.

A demo for Red Faction: Guerilla looks to be a distinct possibility, although a spokesperson for Volition told OXM this week that it was working out how to create a taster of the game that doesn't give away too much.

North American gamers won't have to wait because the game's public beta test is due to begin shortly. Unfortunately, Volition reveals that at present there are no concrete plans to open it up to other territories.

Speaking to VideoGamer.com at a post E3 Red Faction: Guerrilla event in London, associate producer Ismael Vicens explained that developers should not be facing development difficulties when producing titles for both the PS3 and Xbox 360.

"I'd say that each console while they have strengths and its weaknesses depending on what area, if you really are developing a game that can take advantage of multiple cores, if you design your systems in a fairly good manner, it shouldn't really present a problem," said Vicens.

He added: "I think that might have to do with the time frame in which they decide to go multi platform or tart involving multi platform. We knew early on that we were going to be multi platform and so we got a lot of tools in place that really assisted us in figuring out how to develop and hit targets on both platforms equally."

Speaking to VideoGamer.com Red Faction Guerrilla associate producer Ismael Vicens has revealed that the team at Volition (also working on Saints Row 2) isn't worried about the lack of a hard drive in every Xbox 360.

When asked if the hard drive as standard in every PS3 gives it an advantage over the 360 Vicens said:

"No. We designed our streaming system in such a manner that really we don't have to worry about that. I would say the lack of a hard drive isn't significantly hurting us in any real way. We'd already developed a streaming system that, like I said, you can destroy a building, come back 10 hours later and it's still destroyed in the same way. And there's no loads. Once you hit new game or load game the only time we load anything is like, load a cut scene or if you die or something like that. You don't really see load screens in our game. Lack of a hard drive I wouldn't say it's something that we're too concerned with."

Speaking to VideoGamer.com at a post E3 Red Faction: Guerrilla event in London, associate producer Ismael Vicens has revealed that the developer has achieved its goal of making each version of the game functionally and visually identical. This has been achieved despite leading development on the Xbox 360.

"Initially development was led on the Xbox. At E3 we showed the PS3 build and to be honest if you didn't look at the controller that was in the hands of the person demoing it you would not be able to tell the difference. They're completely on parity with each other right now," said Vicens.

He continued: "Feature for feature they're identical. Visually they're pretty much identical. That's really what we're striving for, that you'll have an identical play experience on PS3, Xbox 360 and the PC version."
