Homefront: The Most Realistic Shooter This Generation, A True Sleeper Hit Interview Must See

Homefront is more than just a breathe of fresh air, this game has Heavy Rain type of emotion within it's characters and setting.

This game is deep, it's real and when you get your hands on the multi-player you'll understand why this game deserves to be in the top 10 of FPS games this generation. Exactly how Dead Space came from left field and took over the survival horror genre, this game will be a leading force in the FPS genre.

The moment you play this game and get a good feel of the action and what it's about you will be hooked.

[Hitman0769]

This game looks like all bases are covered. Awesome multiplayer, sick story, what more can you ask for?

[Pandamobile]

Here's hoping it doesn't turn out to be a piece of crap.

I really want this game to be good.

[Pixelated_Army]

Still on the fence about this game....hmmm we'll see how PS3 development goes.

I like HHG on cam personality.

[fromasterjay]

I'm waiting for the review personally...

[sobekflakmonkey]

"something ive never seen before"

Freedom Fighters, perhaps...?

I hate the fact that nobody ever remembers that game, i personally loved it..

[Persistantthug]

Can't DL the vidicle right now, but hopefully I can later.

[visualb]

...dude you're first in ever HHG article...are...you...him?!

anyway, about the video, does he mean gameplay wise? ArmA II and even BF3 will surpass it, not to mention this is set in the future...whats realistic about that which we have no reference point of.

graphically?

ArmA II, Crysis and KZ2/3 have something to say there...

I don't see homefront being "the most..." anything, just a solid FPS shooter experience

[jaredhart]

HHG article/video titles are really annoying.

[mayberry]

I like them alot!

[Coffin87]

Yeah it's like.. hey a cool interview! Oh wait.. HHG.. Imma close the tab.

[dillydadally]

Yeah, I never thought that HipHopGamer would ever convince me to preorder a game :P Well, I never thought I'd actually watch another of his videos, but this game does look and sound incredible.

I hope the word gets out and people buy it if it's all it's made out to be. I want to see developers that are trying different things succeed, and I'm sick of everyone buying nothing but CoD even though it doesn't change year after year.

[BetaChris]

I'm intrigued with what I've seen of Homefront thus far. While I don't think it's necessarily going to become the next big thing in the genre, the deliberately plausible story, large maps, and unique Battle Points system certainly warrant a closer look.

[ME1989]

Fucking knew it was hiphopgamer.

[Ch1d0r1]

Me too. He gets us all the time. At least his very entertaining.

[fireplace]

Oh god, tricked again!

[MysticStrummer]

Always look before you click.

[ME1989]

That's what she said.

[Ninjamonkey82]

Im from Northern Ireland i don't feel that emo attachment with this game :/

[Darkfiber]

I know what you mean. I have a feeling this game is going to be filled with so many sappy American pride moments that I wont be able to stomach playing it.

[MidnytRain]

America FTW

[dillydadally]

Yeah, I'd still give it a try though - you might like seeing America get destroyed for a change :P I think you might be missing out if you don't - the videos look like the interaction is like Half-Life 2, which I thought was ingenious.

[chak_]

please stop saying america.

You are not america, you are USA, OF america, see.

It's like saying we're europe.

[dillydadally]

@chak_ Please don't correct me for commonly and overwhelmingly accepted terminology. I'm aware of the name of the country I live in, and I see where you're coming from with your argument, but I still don't agree with you. America is not a continent - it's North America and South America. The phrase 'America' is, however, a very commonly used shorthand for The United States of America, since it is part of the name of the country. Everyone knows I'm referring to the country and not one of the continents.

[Persistantthug]

Maybe.
*wink*

[DontShoot-Me-Bro]

Huh..are there people that are jealous of America..

The country that gave the world Fox News and Bill O'Reilly?...

[MidnytRain]

@hasj1990
You can go ahead and also chalk one up for video games. ;)

[ugabugaz]

Should have known it was HHG...and no, this will in no way shape or form be the most realistic Shooter. That title belongs to ARMA 2.

[dillydadally]

He's not talking about realism in that regard, but in realism in the it seems like you're in a real situation and, as a result, elicits a real emotional response from you, such as a mother begging you to protect her and her baby only to fail in the end and have to watch her get shot. You actually feel like you WANT to shoot the computer bad guys for revenge. It's very well done narrative and you live every moment rather than experience it through cutscenes (think Bioshock or Half-Life 2)

[ugabugaz]

It's a game, It won't elicit an emotional response from me no matter how realistic it is. Sure I might choose to do something but because I might choose to play a one sided character.

[BobbyMcCOOL]

looks hot!

[Dellis]

HHG stop selling out to these companies man wtf are you

doing?, you got the Illuminati logo also? damn you sold

your soul to the D'evils.

KZ3/Crysis 2 will make sure nobody notices this

THQ poor mans Half Life wannabe shooter, stop hyping this

garbage game about America getting invaded by NK, stop

supporting such anti-american propaganda.

[Pixelated_Army]

HHG is doing what he loves and getting paid for it. I personally don't know anyone who'll work for free do you?

Stop all the hating you envious little sh*ts. If you don't like HHG then don't click his links or post comments in his threads.

/problem.

[vickers500]

Lol @ delusional HHG fans who believe anyone who hates HHG or criticizes him is actually "envious" or "jealous" of him, or think that those people are "hatas" (lol, you HHG fans crack me up every time I hear that lame a$$ excuse for HHGs sh*tty journalism skills).

I think I speak for the majority of the people here when I say that we are not envious of him. People complain about him because of his misleading (and sometimes outright lying) titles, his poor grammar skills (I don't care if that's the way he speaks in real life, journalism requires a level of professionalism, and speaking/writing skills are very important factors to somebody who claims to call themselves a journalist), and that stupid @ss belt he wears all the time for no reason other than to make him look like a damn fool.

Sure, he gets to do what he loves, but I'd rather not sacrifice my intellect to look (and become) a fool who gets to do what he loves to do.

And not everyone looks at the username before they click an article on the front page, it's small as hell and not many have time to read it, they just read titles. I never click his actual link to his site, I just get deceived on the article/comment section (not going to give him the hits).

[Persistantthug]

If everyone had to subscribe to the rigid standards that you want to demand, well, lets just say I'd rather not live in such a world.

You're entitled to your opinion, if you don't like HHG's persona and articles that's totally fine.

But at this point, to be honest, from what I have observed, and no offense, but I don't think HipHopGamer needs your approval or fanmanship.

He seems to be doing quite well.

[vickers500]

A 3rd grade level speaking/grammar level is hardly "rigid standards".

I don't think he needs to completely change the way he speaks, he just needs to sound educated enough to talk like someone who didn't drop out of elementary school. I don't mind slang that much, but HHG overdoes it.

And it's not his articles and personas I don't like, it's his lying, misleading and just overall terrible grammar (which he COULD fix without completely changing the way he talks).

"but I don't think HipHopGamer needs your approval or fanmanship. He seems to be doing quite well."

Yeah no sh*t, I know that, but why mention it? Did you just mention it to brush me off as just a "hata" as every single HHG fan seems to do? The fact that he doesn't need me is irrelevant, so why bring it up?

A large percentage of HHG fans are just borderline retarted, and think that any tiny criticism is just from "the hatas", regardless of whether it's a fact or not. They also seem to think those people are "jealous" of HHG.

[Persistantthug]

I mean,
seeing how you have a clear blueprint to success in gaming journalism and all.

[vickers500]

"I mean,
seeing how you have a clear blueprint to success in gaming journalism and all."

A journalist needs to be able to speak and write, just like a mechanic needs to be able to fix cars, just like a football player needs to have two legs, just like a surgeon needs to have steady and precise hands.

Journalism is a PROFESSION. There are things you HAVE TO DO, or HAVE TO KNOW in certain jobs, it's just a fact, so stop bringing up irrelevant bullcrap about me or me being jealous. And besides, I don't have to be a journalist to judge the quality of journalism.

HipHopGamer doesn't have an ounce of professionalism and is a damn joke. He completely fails at the two most important factors in his job, so why should we call him a journalist? By your logic, I can put on a doctors uniform and be qualified to operate on people, after all, I would just be "doin my own thing", and doing what I love.

Like it or not, there are standards for jobs, standards that you must adhere to, because we can't all go to work dressed in baggy ass pants with our asscracks showing and wearing tanktop wifebeaters and talk to our customers over the phone in klingon.

Why should HHG be exempt from the job specific standards that everyone else is forced to adhere to?

[lugia 4000]

No it isn´t HipHopgaymer. I tried the pre-alpha from combattesting and it wasn´t so real. Example: the envoiroments aren´t destructible

Btw i didn´t check the video.

[dillydadally]

He's actually talking about real as in close to home, as it actually elicits a 'real' emotional response from you, not the physics.

The game is quite impressive in its narrative and the emotional responses it pulls out of people. You live the story like in Half-Life 2, and there's some pretty heart tugging sequences, such as a mother with a baby begging you to protect her and her child and then she ends up getting gunned down after a bit when you can't. It gives you a reason to want to shoot the enemy.

[malyn]

well nice game BUT the design is not good it dose not look like 2027
i dont have a time machine but look at
deus ex human revolution design it also in 2027 but it,s perfect

[Karlnag3]

wow...

[DFresh]

Meh.
Not interested.
Just looks like another Call of Duty clone.
If there's a demo I'll try it if not I'm gonna pass on it.

[Sizzon]

Hahahahahahahahahaha the most realistic lmao.

[iOmegaSeriousi]

well HHG is a sony fanboy theres no doubt.
Homefront look interesting the story sound good and the multiplayer looks good.
looking forward to get it. hopefully is compatible with the PS Move

[Incipio]

He is most definitely not a Sony fanboy. He is a sensationalist.

[Xfanboy]

nah! I think RO2 will be the most authentic shooter & most innovative!!

open world shooter,32 vs 32 tanks mode,bullet drop,bullet penetration!! what beats it??

[ian72]

Thats the first I've heard about that game (Red Orchestra Heroes of Stalingrad). After watching those video's you posted the game does look very good.
More games should use some of the gameplay they use in that game.

[samoon]

Who else got HipHopRolled?

LOL jk ;D

The game looks fantastic and here's hoping it does amazing!

[AKA]

i knew it HHP

True history

I saw you at the e3 sony stuff (i was one of the lucky 150 ps blong user that got in e3),
and a balck security ask me who/tf is this guy,
and i told him a wanna be website new gamer that its called hhg, and the guy shakes his head like saying wtf is worng with this world.
He was ready to kick him out or shoot him...
LOL
no offence HHG. ;)

[ATiElite]

Umm I'm gonna stop it right there. Sorry but Arma II Operation Arrowhead already has that crown.

I think Homefront may be more along the lines of Blops but will have to wait and see.

[Daz]

But i fault he was on about console games? not pc.

[EyeContact]

Iv been HipHop-rolled!

[schlanz]

Seriously guys? It's so damn easy to spot a HHG headline. You all need to develop a more discerning eye for them.

Homefront isn't really on my radar right now with everything else coming out this year, but I hope it's amazing nonetheless. Always nice to have a surprise AAA on our hands.

[jony_dols]

Obviously if u clicked into this article, then u were duped by HHG as well.

[schlanz]

Nope, like I said, homefront isn't really on my radar so HHG or not I took the opportunity to learn some more about it. First HHG show I've watched in close to a year.

[fullmetal297]

There are no respawn points in RL

[ASSASSYN 36o]

Proof yet again turbo is off the road and in a ditch. I don't doubt homefront will be good, but realistic more than say ARMA II and even OPF Dragon Rising? Hell, realistic at all!? No and no!? Either hippy has no idea what realistic means in a fps game or he is fluffing his titles or attention. I say both.

[TheObserver]

I am still amazed by HHG ability to make such outrageous titles.

[Incipio]

One day his pure sensationalism will really bite him in the ass when a developer or publisher straight up calls him out for bullshit and asks him instead to provide actual, legitimate, journalistic and fact-filled coverage of their game. His response will be:

Yoooooooooooooo wasssssuuuupp I don't DO journalism DAWG I'm HipHopGamer yo gotta keep it REAL!

[phatfreddy1978]

this game looks good doesn't really need MP though but I'll take it.Crossing fingers it will be good.

[commander]

lmao "Most realistic shooter this gen"

OK seriously how much money is THQ paying you to give them this media attention. Homefront will fail and disappear just like......wait for it.........Crysis 2
