He's actually talking about real as in close to home, as it actually elicits a 'real' emotional response from you, not the physics.
The game is quite impressive in its narrative and the emotional responses it pulls out of people. You live the story like in Half-Life 2, and there's some pretty heart tugging sequences, such as a mother with a baby begging you to protect her and her child and then she ends up getting gunned down after a bit when you can't....
Yeah, I'd still give it a try though - you might like seeing America get destroyed for a change :P I think you might be missing out if you don't - the videos look like the interaction is like Half-Life 2, which I thought was ingenious.
Yeah, I never thought that HipHopGamer would ever convince me to preorder a game :P Well, I never thought I'd actually watch another of his videos, but this game does look and sound incredible.
I hope the word gets out and people buy it if it's all it's made out to be. I want to see developers that are trying different things succeed, and I'm sick of everyone buying nothing but CoD even though it doesn't change year after year.
As far as I know, no beta or demo is not quite accurate. At one point they said they would have a multiplayer demo and recently they announced there would be no beta or demo on the PC, but as far as I know they have not stated there would be no demo on xbox live or PSN. If anyone could find a link it would be nice. Everything I've seen so far stating there will be no demo is talking about on the PC.

Hey hey hey! Let's keep my precious HomeFront out of this! Unlike Crysis 2, everything I've seen lately on HomeFront only impresses me more....
Please don't deprive me of my dreams - a man can hope, can't he?!
Yeah, no one has even heard of Joe and he "requested" a sit down interview - notice he never says his request was granted. Why? Because he's a no name who only wants to rip into their work. Of course Geoff was defensive and snotty - he's doing an interview with someone who just attacks him and his hard work, right in the middle of when he is busiest and has the most on his mind. He should be amazed he got any time at all. There are so many of these upstart "video g...
To be honest, they're sadly a whole lot better than the Grammy's. Honestly, the people the Grammy's nominate year after year are based more on their public image than their music, and usually they are very lacking in talent when compared to other musicians that are, you know, just musicians, and not someone making a public spectacle of themselves. Some of the worst songs on the radio often get nominated for best song and it blows my mind. Maybe the same people are involved in b...
Please, someone tell me why an MMO in the style of Oblivion wouldn't be awesome. I remember playing Oblivion and thinking, this would be so awesome as an MMO. I hate normal MMO's, but only because they're NOT like Elder Scrolls. I'm just surprised that seemingly everyone has the opposite opinion, so I'm asking why you think it wouldn't be good anymore? Is it just the monthly payment thing? Or that you think the quality would drop?
@BryanBegins I gave you a bubble Mr. Bryan - you presented your argument in a very logical straight forward way and every review I've read agrees.
As for a troll? I love that - anyone who bashes on a game that is politically incorrect to bash on is declared a troll - even if what he said is true...
Whoa! I didn't know Chuck Norris was in this game!
That one is worse just because it was never funny to begin with. Usually the person who says it is an idiot who didn't give the other person the time of day to even understand what they were talking about. It's usually a good indicator of someone who doesn't deserve any respect.
Ummm, did anyone here notice this article is about Homefront and NOT CoD? If you want to comment on what you think of CoD, please do it somewhere else - or at least actually mention Homefront in your comment!
I think Homefront will be incredible but may not be as successful as it should be simply because not enough people know about it! Hopefully it gets some more hype here in the next few months and gets a little word of mouth developing. It looks to be a serious contende...
Bubbles for you Vickers500 - not only for having the guts to say something unpopular among the n4g community but for also backing it up with a very logical and well expressed argument.
A 10/10 is a game with no problems or that the small problems are so overwhelmed by the positives that they are hardly noticed and would be needless nitpicking. That is not this game. I played days worth of MW2, but to call it a 10/10 is to ignore the fact that at many times it was completely broken and is still chock full of problems. I will agree that it is a good game, but it has too many impossible to ignore, horrible issues to call it anything close to a perfect game. Not to mention I...
Whoa, you got to go to E3?! No way! Lucky!
People, please stop mocking the headline. It is correct. You are wrong. You only show your lack of knowledge by mocking it and look stupid to those more knowledgeable of the English language. It's a correct construct that younger people won't have heard as much. You want a source? I used to be a journalist and an editor and have been writing professionally for years. Listen to Fishy Fingers - he is spot on.
@outrageous
Lol! I came in here to post your exact same post! So, to reiterate,
WHO CARES!?
The fact that so many disagree with him doesn't prove his point. It proves they disagree with them.
That's like someone asking his friend, "Did you eat my donut?" His friend then says "No I didn't eat your donut." He then says "Aha! That's exactly what someone who ate my donut would say!"
Some people actually have opinions without being "fanboys". I'm so sick of this nonsense! Why can't we j...
@Viper7 What you say is wrong. If they were doing what you say, we would never hear about it. They're publishing their efforts and spreading piracy, which can seriously hurt Sony's profits. What do you expect them to do? Sit back and watch people steal from them? They're just protecting themselves! This is 100% the hacker's fault - they want the prestige of hacking the PS3 and so they're publishing what they do, forcing Sony's hand.
He's not talking about realism in that regard, but in realism in the it seems like you're in a real situation and, as a result, elicits a real emotional response from you, such as a mother begging you to protect her and her baby only to fail in the end and have to watch her get shot. You actually feel like you WANT to shoot the computer bad guys for revenge. It's very well done narrative and you live every moment rather than experience it through cutscenes (think Bioshock or Hal...
