Were you disappointed by Homefront? So was THQ's Danny Bilson. But the firm's executive VP of core games thinks that there's still plenty of life left in the series yet, and that "there'll be some announcements about Homefront 2 that will instil a lot of confidence".
Xbox Series X's FPS Boost is game-changing when it works and disappointing when it doesn't. While frame rates are often consistent, many titles make concerning sacrifices. This lost compiles 20 FPS Boost games that make major sacrifices, detailing their drawbacks.
As someone with the Series S, it makes more of an impact there than on the X. From what i have seen, if the game already supported One X enhancements, then its best to just let it be on the Series X.
Great to have options I’ve gone back to playing dragon age inquisition and it runs superbly. Good article though detailing differences.
Wow, these downplaying articles are rife this week in the lead up to E3.
Funny how it is only this week these articles are surfacing, even though we knew about Series X not running upgrades from Xbox One X BC games months ago. As per article :-
"If a game doesn't run at a stable performance level, the Microsoft backwards-compatibility team can't adjust game settings or resolution to best reach the target frame rate."
Well yeah, you can not change some other developers game code, only they can enhance their own game via next-gen patches.
There is even one now on how Gamepass for PC is "broken".
Wonder what we will see next? We have had Xbox not making any money on any console ever, gamepass for PC is broken, FPS boost has lackluster upgrades, xbox division is being ran in the red at a consistent loss, gamepass has never been profitable, all in the lead up to Xbox and Bethesda's E3 showing.
Funny times, roll on E3 for me, can't wait.
In short :-
All 20 games on the list, are running at Xbox One resolution with FPS boost enabled, instead of the Xbox One X enhanced versions resolution.
This is a known issue, even when running the same games through the BC program.
A secret Timesplitters 2 port was hidden in Homefront: The Revolution and a team of people have finally worked out how to unlock it.
Still have my PS2 copy, and a multi-tap with my PS2 for 4 player split-screen.
"Unfortunately, there's no info on how these codes might work on the PC version of the game, although it wouldn't be surprising for someone to figure it out in the near future." I wonder if the same codes would work if you plugged a controller to the PC.
We've known for years that Homefront: The Revolution hides an arcade cabinet where you can play a couple of levels from TimeSplitters 2. Now, evidence has come to light that the entirety of TimeSplitters 2's campaign was designed to be fully playable in native 4K.
Give it up! This title will be D.O.A.. I suggest THQ not waste their time or money. I really do not see Homefront or THQ doing anything that will push the genre.
Generic shooters are DEAD! COD clones are DEAD!
It has lots of potential if they do it right. The first had a horrible single player campaign but the multiplayer was really enjoyable, if not on the same level as Battlefield.
I think it was a mistake for THQ to drop support of Red Faction and greenlight a sequel to Homefront.
Red Faction as a series has way more potential than Homefront.
What is Homefront, aside from just another shooter game in a sea of shooter games, of which the most popular subject now is the invasion of the United States by some unlikely threat.
Red Faction at least has a following.
I liked the MP demo more than Black Ops. If I can find a new copy for $40 ill get it.
No it wont ..........................
