This time out the conceit is at least somewhat better justified – in this alternative timeline, NK started funding the US’s endeavours, and became their primary source of weaponry and warring equipment.
You’re limited to particular sectors of Philly at first, but each is an enormous sprawl of an America that’s been taken over by the North Koreans. It was weird when they didn’t start with, “Coochee-coochee-coo!”Īnd then, suddenly, it blossoms. I appreciated that it was so slow to put a gun in my hands – that often makes for a potentially more interesting start – but gosh there was a lot of sitting and watching other characters lean weirdly far into my first-person view to talk to me as if I were a baby in a pram. An interminable tutorial sees you glacially slowly introduced to the mechanics of another game, from jumping to hacking to weapons, spread across swathes of Philadelphia, before then going on to be nothing like any of it. Albeit such a concoction that really could have done with another year in the oven. This is no four hour linear FPS, this is a massive open world recreation of North Korea-invaded Philidelphia that’s five parts The Division, three parts Far Cry, and with a dash of Metal Gear Sold V. Something that appears even more peculiar when you discover just how different a game it is. The association doesn’t seem to offer anything positive. People either haven’t heard of the first game and don’t care, or they have heard of it and are therefore aware what a massive pile of shite it was.
Homefront: The Revolution has so little to do with the previous game that it’s damned confusing, even with publishers’ dizzying fear of new IPs, that they used the title.
HOMEFRONT 2 PC
(Is there still a shop that even sells PC games?) In development for five long years, can it possibly hold together? The answer for this open-world shooter is an interesting one. Homefront: The Revolution is out today in the US, and then anachronistically, for no bloody sodding reason, delayed for Europe until Friday. The hot potato of gaming, tossed from publisher to publisher, is somehow complete.
