Regardless of whether fiction mirrors life or life mirrors fiction, there’s no denying that the story of THQ’s upcoming FPS, Homefront, feels eerily predictive. As U.S. tensions with North Korea continue to escalate, writer John Milius’ vision of an America invaded by Korean forces in the wake of a massive EMP attack seems no further from fact than from fantasy.
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.
Homefront comes from the Previous Developers of Battlefield 2 so it should be pretty damn fun to play with the elements they've added.
Also, is it me, or is the reviewer completely CoD Fascinated, he mentions Call of Duty at least 7 times during that preview, then he goes on to say how similar the game feels to a single player mission on Call of Duty MW2...
Either way, all in all, this game should be a pleasing relief to those who have wanted a all out war with 32 players and dedicated servers, this might hold up till BF3 is announced ;D
To not think of CoD in a first person article at this point in time is pretty much criminal. Even though everyone wants to get away from the overall feel of CoD no company has been able to pull completely away from it and satisfy everyone who plays FPS. You have to at this point at least give a nod to CoD in pretty much any FPS in order for it to transmit into sales. This will change in the future but maybe not anytime soon. Not saying it's a terrible thing right now but it definitely could be a more matured CoD experience and WOW some people.
I hope this game is good as it seems to be...lol
Played the alpha code.
Its good but the movement is to slow/sluggish but then again that was just an alpha and im sorry but these people at G4TV are retards and not true gamers.
I seen COD mentioned about 4 times in the article, why?
THese idiots put COD as a benchmark? why do journalists do this? they are idiots! If anything COD took from Medal of Honor and the first battlefield more than anything.
Its referred to as a benchmark shooter by the media despite not having anything innovative about it and the base gameplay being very simple and not impressive at all.
This game does have some great elements of what ive played.
