Homefront: The Revolution

[FTW_Perverse]

Homefront: The Revolution is coming to Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC sometime in 2015. 

 

Will use the CryEngine be an "open world" design.  

 

Might be worth a look.  Check out the gamespot.com news release.

EDIT:  Here is the announcement trailer...

If this is 200% better then its predecessor, it still wouldn't be worth even a pirated version.

Well even if Crysis 2/3 weren't as good as the first one, Crytek generally does a pretty decent job with open-level shooters. After how Ryse: Son of Rome turned out, they'll hopefully stick to those types of games.

 

I'll keep an eye on it, but I'm not stupid enough to preorder it or anything...

[ShadowCaptain]

I still mean to play the first one, it completely passed me by

 

I dont get why more people dont use cryengine, it looks amazing, can do anything and is pretty cheap and easy to use

[jezza39]

Awesome, the problem with Homefront 1 was the linearity of a survivor based story. It didn't make sense to have to take the Nth Korean army head on at every engagement. It's cool now if you have a choice to sneak by or kill some or go all out.

 

Also MP in Homefront was surprisingly awesome, hope to see more of it.

Well I don't think that's very fair.  I mean, the original Homefront wasn't spectacular, but it was generally a fun experience during it's initial release.  I wouldn't recommend it to anyone today with all the other options out there.  But until we see more in-depth review and gameplay, I think any game is owed the benefit of the doubt.

I never played the original, but I heard it was kinda lame. Still, that game was made by a different developer - when THQ went bankrupt, Crytek bought up the rights to Homefront.

Exactly- new developer.

 

"Homefront was developed by the now-shuttered Kaos Studios. The rights to the game were sold to Crysisdeveloper Crytek one year later after publisher THQ went bankrupt. This new Homefront, powered by the CryEngine, strikes the same tone as its predecessor, but takes that game's all-too-short campaign and opens it up with an all new open world design."

I think it's pretty fair, aside from being obviously broken, the game mechanics weren't very good and the story was either bad or atleast told very bad.

And I do think the entire idea needs quite a big overhaul (that being the over 200% improved) to be a good game. But if its anything like the first one it just won't be a good game.

 

But that is my opinion and we can agree to disagree.

Well 200% better would essentially be a different game than the original, so it's not a fair statement to assume a 200% improvement would still be a piece of shit.  Lacks logic.

All I said was it needs to be much better then the first one to be worth a play, I never said it was gonna fail or anything like that

You said it wouldn't even be worth a free copy.  Interpretation:  it is likely a worthless game.

 

Again- not a fair statement.  You are basing everything you know on HF1.

What I clearly said was it wouldn't be worth a free copy if its not much better then the previous.

 

I never anywhere said it was gonna be a bad game whatsoever

[ericlee30]

Very wicked game, I hope the game is as good as it's trailer.

[The_Strict_Nein]

I loved the first Homefront, can't wait to see what they do with this

[AlexGoesHigh]

Kim Jong Un approved!

more like his wet dream

 

what i wanna see is the multiplayer, HF1 had some awesome and well balance mechanics, they just needed more polish and refinement

[FTW_Perverse]

Hate to argue over this BS, but you said "If this is 200% better then its predecessor, it still wouldn't be worth even a pirated version."

 

You didn't say "if it's not much better than the previous".  You said "even if it is much better"... 

 

Read your own statements before you argue against a point.

[FTW_Perverse]

Well even if Crysis 2/3 weren't as good as the first one, Crytek generally does a pretty decent job with open-level shooters. After how Ryse: Son of Rome turned out, they'll hopefully stick to those types of games.

 

I'll keep an eye on it, but I'm not stupid enough to preorder it or anything...

 

It's in development by Crytek UK (the TimeSplitters guys, not the Ryse or Crysis folks) 

[DarkCrow]

I actually like HF1. Sure it wasn't the best but the gameplay was fun. Curious to see what comes of this.

Mmmm well, its not my fault you misunderstand me (whether that is me bad english or not)

 

But saying that even when its twice as good it still wouldn't be good enough.

 

For me is the same as saying that they have to greatly improve or totally change something before its good.

And that is clearly not saying it can't ever be good.

 

But yes lets agree to disagree like I said the first time I responded to you.

I liked Crysis 3 I thought it was a really good experience. The multiplayer was really fun and fast paced. Crysis 2 was not very good. I just prefered Crysis 3 to the other two though but Crysis 1 was a different game to Crysis 3 gameplay wise. As this is a change to gameplay mechanics and a different publisher (I think) owns the game rights it might actually be pretty good. And the trailer would suggest it is more guerilla tactics warfare which might be fun.

It's Crytek so be ready for burning PCs.
