Homefront interests us. It’s a game that takes the military shooter formula and twists it, a game that takes its US setting and twists it. In fact, Homefront looks like it’ll make a solid living taking what’s familiar and adding a disorientating twist – as this new trailer demonstrates.
This trailer focuses less of the game’s well designed universe and more towards your reasons for fighting. Homefront may end up being a story driven shooter with a story worth following – it’s been a while since we’ve had one of those!

I have high hopes for this game. 17th on March is the release date here I believe.

I hope it will take a rocket or 2 or at least if using heavy guns you need to take out the pillars.

Friday, February 11, 2011 at 1:57 PMThat sounds like the angle they’re pushing, unfortunately. The whole “second American revolution” thing.
It still sounds like a great story, but probably not something universal.

Friday, February 11, 2011 at 7:22 PMThis is why Mass Effect 2 gets more attention. HUMANITY focused on an outside threat, with people from (based on voices/voice artists):
- America (Shepard and *numerous* others)
- Scotland/Ireland (Normandy’s Engineers)
- Britain (Normandy’s Doctor)
- Australia (Miranda)
- and more!
