Homefront

Face-shooting Red Dawn fanfic Homefront: The Revolution has had a funny old time. After shutting down Homefront creator Kaos Studios, publishers THQ turned to their Montreal studio for the sequel, then looked to Crytek UK as THQ fell apart. Crytek bought the g…

I’m not sure how a Homefront sequel that I didn’t really care about became a Crysis game that I really want to play, but that’s what I saw the other day. Homefront: The Revolution is Crysis. Hilariously Crysis. So very very Crysis. And yet it…

The sequel to Homefront that you probably weren’t eagerly anticipating has been announced in the form of a trailer that you can see below. There’s no in-game footage but we sent roving reporter Craig ‘Craig Pearson’ Pearson to get some …

People's Daily is China's newspaper of record. It's the paper of the Chinese Communist Party—a mouthpiece of the government. And today, it figured out that The Onion is not America's newspaper of record. If you've been on the internet since forever, you …

This past weekend, the video up top made the Twitter-rounds. It's of a failed quicktime event from 2007's Spiderman 3 , and it is hilarious . Watching it over and over, while laughing, got me thinking: There are so many terrible quicktime events in gaming, it'…

If you played Homefront , the new trailer for the remake of 1984's Red Dawn is going to seem like déjà vu all over again. When THQ's ambitious but shallow 2011 first-person shooter first started its hype machine, the comparisons to the 1980s Cold War action mo…

Kim Jong-il, who has ruled the Communist state of North Korea since 1994, has passed away. Which means 2011 shooter Homefront was only two weeks off making one of the most timely (if accidental) fictional statements in video game history. In Homefront , a game…

Back in March, PR firm TrashTalkFCM thought it'd be a good idea to promote upcoming shooter Homefront by releasing a ton of balloons. It wasn't. Not only did the game stink, but when most of the balloons ended up in San Francisco Bay, it attracted the attentio…

Would you shoot someone responsible for America's horrible housing market? Would you like to? What if you met his wife and kid first? How did we get here , and where are we going? What happens when the 99% rise up, and more to the point, how happy will you be …

Is the new Homefront necessary? Pardon that imprudent question, but when a man is drowning in a sea of first-person shooters, may he question the next bucket? This morning we got the non-surprise news that THQ will bring us a Homefront 2 coupled with the surpr…

Having closed down Homefront developers, Kaos Studios, earlier this year, THQ have had to look elsewhere to create a sequel for the massively disappointing shooter. They seem to be going straight to the top. It has just been announced that the publishers are p…

The folks behind Crysis and Far Cry have teamed up with THQ to work on the next Homefront , the publisher said this morning. The game isn't due out for another 1 1/2 to 2 years, the company said in a press release. "We see Homefront as a really strong universe…

I KEEP saying I’ll do this regularly, but something about numbered lists makes me curl into a tiny ball and weep for mother. Anyway, let’s do it this week and maybe I’ll be a better boy again next week. Here’s the top ten best-selling r…

This seems like some pretty bloody odd timing, but perhaps it’s THQ taking advantage of a temporary lull in glossy manshoots and seeing if there’s room to sell a few more copies of their noisy March release Homefront, which was their own take on Co…

IP! It’s all we really want. IP! It’s all games really are. IP! It’s more precious than gold. IP! Creators don’t matter, only owners do. IP! It’ll eat your children, and your little dog too. Another Homefront game has been confirm…

The New York City-based developer of Homefront , Kaos Studios, has been shut down, according to a source close to the studio. It's not clear if the shutdown was due to the performance of the game, the high cost of operating a studio or some combination of fact…

Publisher THQ had some good news and bad news to deliver today, starting with the not-so-great results from its last financial year. The publisher lost a cool $136 million USD. But it had some good news for fans of Metro 2033 , Homefront and the very successfu…

The co-creator of Twisted Metal , David Jaffe, wanted to make a game about the Chinese military invading the United States once upon a time. Heartland for the PSP would have been "a very liberal response to the Bush administration and the Iraq War," Jaffe has …
