THQ has defended hands-to-the-pump working hours at Homefront developer Kaos - but admitted that it will try and lessen the 'crunch' currently taking place at the studio when it comes to the game's sequel.
Respected UK industry organ Develop has spoken to an alleged 'exhausted insider' at the New York dev, who told the publication that employees "resent crunch" and suggested they had fears over a lack of fiscal reward for overtime.
Jack writes: "Back in March 2011, the first-person action shooter Homefront arrived on the Xbox 360 from THQ, along with a storm of publicity which included a really cool live-action trailer"
Last week game dev Steve Thornton took to Twitter to ask: fellow devs, have you ever slipped something into a game you're working on that's just for you? The replies are well worth a read.
Deep Silver and Humble Bundle are currently offering the first Homefront game for free. This offer will last for the next 48 hours, so be sure to visit its Humble Bundle page in order to acquire your free copy.
get it! the single player is excellent and intense and the MP is pretty fun, too.
Ehh, PS4 needs these deals too, or consoles in general we always get discounts rarely free stuff that's REALLY free (games with gold / psplus isn't free)
Yeah its nice, Just sign up and add them to your steam. even f you dont own a gaming PC, you might one day.
all Kaos's games feel rushed... this is not a good thing. i was hoping for something better than their previous efforts. fingers crossed
