Will Homefront: The Revolution Fail For Namesake Alone?

I think most of us were rather surprised when the announcement trailer for Homefront: The Revolution hit the internet. All in all, it was a nice trailer and certainly drove home the tone that the game was going for, though that hasn’t kept me from worrying about the title itself.

Possibly, they should have bought Freedom Fighters license instead!

I always believe in redemption if done properly. Even a bad game with a good name deserves the chance to redeem itself.

Homefront had a good premise but bad execution. So while the bad taste of the game itself might turn people away, those with a sense of giving 2nd chances would do well to give it one more try.

I would do it for another alien colonial marines game if the efforts of making another were to try and clear the name of the franchise it is based on.

There is allot to be said about a name. Either people are familiar with it and proceed to get behind it or they get turned off by it and pass on the opportunity to see if the followup is better than the original.

I am aware that at the end of the article I used the word "evolved", not "involved. And yes, it is bothering me to no end.

ValKilmer3625d ago

Yes, why the hell did they want to bring Homefront back? That game is a joke. Just call this "The Revolution" and be done with it.

MadLad3625d ago (Edited 3625d ago )

It would be the smart thing to do. Bought the IP or not, it's not one that holds any weight.

WeAreLegion3625d ago (Edited 3625d ago )

I'm more upset about the subtitle than the IP they're using. This is more of a regular war than a revolution.

Ravenheartzero3625d ago

If the game looks good and plays good hopefully it won't fail, shall wait for gameplay trailers

Cyber Citizen Shockman 3: The Princess from Another World review - Games Asylum

Games Asylum: "Super Mario and Sonic the Hedgehog weren’t the only platforming heroes receiving system-selling sequels in 1992. Over in Japan, the PC Engine’s Kaizō Chōjin Shubibinman (Shockman) series gained its third entry. US gamers had only just received the second game, and while there was hope of the CD-based Kaizō Chōjin Shubibinman 3 making it to the US, it was never to be. After playing through this newly translated re-release, it’s easy to see the potential it may have had – it’s comparable visually to Mega Drive/Genesis games released the same year and would have likely been positively received in the likes of EGM and GamePro."

just what ive seen.

Same, not sure where they were looking

Arrowhead's CEO is awesome and so transparent; they're demonstrating they're a gamer-first studio and will stand by our side even with a publishing partner as big as Sony.

I haven't seen anyone blaming Arrowhead except the dumb "but you knew!" takes... Which are useless, it's still the publisher that listed it for sale in unsupported countries.

but when they review bombs, it hurts arrowhead, not Sony

I think we've already moved past it but hey gotta remind everyone what direction to throw shade where they were already throwing it.

DarXyde1h ago

Is anyone blaming Arrowhead?

That would be news to me.

TheColbertinator1h ago

I do. Sony is a pox on the gaming industry.
