[Game] Homefront

[Nimsky]

I love how the commentators sound so SRS BUSINESS and make their game sound so dramatic in those dev walkthroughs, do you think they can do it with a straight face? "The resistance heroicly fighting back but some people believe it's futile, baby crying in the middle of a firefight, get mother to safety, random dude on the street paying the ultimate price, you don't have the best guns, emotional attachment... 'Murka!". While at the same time showing a game that is essentially a CoD clone in which you play a supersoldier (sorry - an Average Joe) mowing down hundreds of braindead enemies with ease and deflecting hundreds of bullets.

Oh, please. This game is the biggest joke since Dragon Rising.

If you want to use invaded America as a setting, at least do it right. Like a freeroaming gameplay like STALKER and gun mechanics similar to RO's, without any drama BS. Wouldn't that be much more interesting and realistic?

Those videos are laughable. Stupid game, stupid developers. ZERO creativity. Thank goodness for TWI.

I bet the Korean boss guy will have a heavy Russian accent.

And he'll wear a nice suit and an eye patch.

Robot Kim Jong Il anyone??

And he'll wear a nice suit and an eye patch.

And he will never give the nuclear missile bomb to the US!

USA is DOMINATE!

I am crying tears!

So much fail in this game, that slo-mo portion was terrible. The guards are totally begging you to shoot them. Even MW2 did it better.

I'd love it if in the single player campaign they had a paratrooper because that is a real life war scenario, and if someone is about to say something to further develop the storyline, but dies, increasing the drama of the story.

They just HAVE to have "Seargant of the Master Seagants Most Important Person of Extreme Seargants to the MAX" as a rank in it.

I'm sure the college ruled paper notebook will contain the codes the nuclear device.

It's really sad though if you look at KAOS studios:

Desert Combat for BF42 -> working on BF2 -> Frontlines: Fail of War -> Call of Duty: Homefront

 

[Uurastaja]

I hope they were jesting with that video...

That's quite a downfall

Last year, the promise on narrative, a different take on war, getting to shoot north koreans, and a worthy PC version, had me quite excited.

But that gameplay video was so much worse than the last, i don't even know what to say. I really wanted to believe this could have been something .... anything, but now ....

I mean, the melee, crosshair, animations, blood, slow-mo, and what-not, just made me lose hope even more.

Theory - A good story line can help compensate for sub-par gameplay a bit. The game might actually have a decent story.

But - The gameplay just looks so generic and terrible.

Conclusion - I don't know if even the best story will help this game.

I play war shooters for the story.

 

[Fedorov]

I really hope that Duty Calls had managed to mark the beginning of the end of this type of shooters.

The ammount of needless junk thrown at your screen is staggering. From kill messages, mini map, XP rewards, team mate names, objective markers (in case you get lost

), gun load outs, killstreaks and weapon pick ups. Modern games are throwing too much junk and noise at the screen to hide bad gameplay.

When I first read the early news for Homefront I was interested, now having seen the videos I'm totally deflated, so well done to the Homefront PR team

If there isn't slow-mo and a tactical nuclear device at the end, I won't buy it.
