I remember kinda liking the reason why there was a firefight around mass grave. Initially we were suppose to sneak around it and leave it alone, but one of the characters after seeing it starts mumbling under his breath and it slowly gets louder and louder until he ends up screaming out loud and going full Rambo on the enemy at the mass grave.
the only problem i have with homefront is that there is not enough of it , in the sense that i wanted the war to continue outside of the US, it was to short but the amount of detail it had on the loading screens , lore and collectables, that type of world building is something we dont see anymore, and yeah i know it wasnt realistic ,but it was fun to imagine.
Weird, I obviously haven't seen a THQ logo in ages, but completely forgot about it until you mentioned it. Was a nice looking logo. I remember there being issues with the pirated copy (from a friend of course) where you couldn't pick up ammo. You'd pick up the weapon and have whatever was in the magazine, but nothing more so you were constantly swapping weapons to progress. Also for the writers predicting things, a lot of this stuff like Avian flu was known to happen eventually, so it's not exactly a crazy predicion. It would be like a game today featuring the economic and population collapse of China, it might not happen soon but it will be happening eventually.
they really played into nostalgia for THQ with AEW Fight Forever’s logo graphic, where it’s old THQ logo transforming into new logo and subsequently THQ Nordic.
The Multiplayer was pretty decent. It had a fun killstreak system that made you appear on other players maps if you were on one. Saddly it had too few maps and some weren't great. I stopped playing when i was basically only finding one server, the MP population dropped pretty fast on that game (at least on PC).
it's crazy how the games industry just push out propagandistic shooters like this with hardly anyone noticing that it's just propaganda, even to this day lol
I heard the second one was better but didn't sale that well I dunno I was looking hoping you did a video on it but I haven't noticed one yet P.s. I love the red panda at the end
I thought Homefront: The Revolution was pretty good(post launch, I avoided it at the time because of how broken it was at launch, but the devs stuck with it and made it a better game). I remember getting the version that included all the DLC on sale on Xbox in 2018 and had a blast. Also, I believe Homefront: The Revolution was made as a reboot to the orignal, not a sequel. Also-also, Dam Buster Studios, the devs that made Homefront: The Revolution, were also the same devs that made the Timesplitters series. :D
I think it's interesting that this game said that Kim Jong Il would die in 2012. Il died in December 17th of 2011. That, along with the pandemic (game said avian/bird flu but whatever) makes this game also creepy in its predictions. Granted, the idea of North Korea invading, well, everywhere is a bit laughable. They don't have the manpower for occupation. Even if things went swimmingly for them after Il's death (which it didn't), they' still lack the numbers for it.
Actually it was darksider 2 who drove thq out of business Bc they spent like 65 million on its budget and sadly it didn’t meet up their expectations which made in debt (around 100 million) I think and that’s why they had to declare bankruptcy (chapter 12 I think it was) so companies came and bought chunks of their IPs Thq Nordic managed to buy back most of them but embracer is killing them off one by one recently
Story goes that Kaos Studio was assigned by THQ to create a competitive shooter to Call of Duty. However, they already realized it's concept with the Red Dawn plot. It was fucking rushed and it led to their downfall. Kaos got shutdown with only two games. To put the nail in the coffin, THQ America made a rush investment with fucking Saints Row 3, Red Faction Armageddon, Metro Last Light and even fucking Darksiders. They sold Saints Row, Metro, Red Faction and Metro to Deep Silver. After Nordic Games acquired THQ America asset and rebranded themselves as THQ Nordic. They manage to pick up Darksiders and Red Faction Guerilla for a remaster, before they had fucking transferred the latter IP to Deep Silver, because they simply don't know what to do with the IP and believe that Voilition got it under control (ultimately, we know that they ain't, because Saints Row Reboot). Also, despite Crytek acquiring the Homefront IP, they sold it to Deep Silver and cut their loses with their UK Division, which led Deep Silver to rebranded them as Dambuster. Homefront will never see the light of day again, unfortunately. Even with it's potential.
This game didn't kill THQ, not even close. THQ died because of trying hard to fund an iPad knockoff, then DOUBLED DOWN when it failed, and went bankrupt because of it.
