Other Media
The Ultor Corporation (the antagonists from the original Red Faction), has been featured in the 2006 and 2008 games, Saints Row and its sequel, Saints Row 2. This is due to the fact that both series are developed by Volition and published by THQ, so merging storylines are legally possible. In the DLC for Saints Row 2 there is a vehicle with the Red Faction: Guerilla logo as part of its identification when entering.
In addition, the storyline for the DLC concerns Ultor's experimentation with Nanotech to improve the lung capacity of miners (see "The Plague" in Red Faction). In the second DLC package, the player character comments that as long as Ultor stops harassing the Saints, "they can go to Mars for all I care."

Famous quotes containing the word media:
“The media transforms the great silence of things into its opposite. Formerly constituting a secret, the real now talks constantly. News reports, information, statistics, and surveys are everywhere.”
—Michel de Certeau (1925–1986)
“Never before has a generation of parents faced such awesome competition with the mass media for their children’s attention. While parents tout the virtues of premarital virginity, drug-free living, nonviolent resolution of social conflict, or character over physical appearance, their values are daily challenged by television soaps, rock music lyrics, tabloid headlines, and movie scenes extolling the importance of physical appearance and conformity.”
—Marianne E. Neifert (20th century)
