Glitches and wobbles aside, Homefront: The Revolution is an adequate shooter that features some interesting moments. It isn't bad, but it isn't good either.

It doesn't seem like a Timesplitters sequel is coming any time soon, but as a consolation prize, Homefront: The Revolution has the next best thing.

The fact that Homefront: The Revolution is coming out at all is impressive, given its turbulent history of development. But if this latest video is anything to go off, the game's got problems.

Last year, before E3, and back when Dambuster Studios was still called Crytek Nottingham and hadn't been sold to Deep Silver, I saw a presentation of Homefront: The Revolution in action. I thought it looked fantastic, like an open-world version of Half-Life 2's City 17.

In the wake of Crytek's financial troubles, Deep Silver has just acquired the rights to Homefront: The Revolution and will develop the game under a new Nottingham-based studio, the publisher announced today.

As Crytek continues to face financial difficulties, we're hearing of more departures at the troubled company. This week, Homefront: The Revolution game director Hasit Zala resigned from his position at Crytek UK, according to three people familiar with goings-on at the studio.

There's still trouble at Crytek, the independent game developer behind games like Crysis and Ryse. And as of yesterday the bulk of employees at Crytek's UK office are no longer going to work, according to people familiar with the situation.
