Homefront delayed by a week

Been watching this game for some time, the idea sounds good but will they pull it off? Hmmm expecting a let down here so can only be good if they do a decent job unlike COD constant let down. Saying that im not a COD hater just feel they are taking the piss out of their fan base and their pockets and then giving them no dedicated servers to ruin the game, Home front on the other hand will have dedicated servers so if they can make the game addictive unlike Bad company's offering then Activisons COD could be in for a bit of a kick in the nuts (AND GOD HOW WE NEED THAT TO HAPPEN)

I lose. Stop thinking. That is what "blue_francis14" and "Lord_Nuclear" argue. Anyone who says "stop thinking" should lose their right to vote, and drive. But I can go with their fan boy flow, and propose an all-new fighting game, inspired by the plot of Homefront: You play as 300-pound American wrestler, Captain Kill. You are the undisputed world champion. Your opponent is a 90-pound North Korean, starved and lethargic after decades of malnutrition. Beaten by the brittle bones and chronic anemia of his enemy, Captain Kill is the underdog, the desperate insurgent, the... script practically writes itself. By the way, Homefront should be two words. The money men who extrude this dreck cannot even bother to spell-check their logo.

I can't wait for Homefront.

I can't wait for Homefront.

Sniper, Thumbs down. You lose.

Kim Jing Il can't wait for this game. hope Microsoft will design a special xbox controller that is shorter than him.

As long as it helps polish the game then I'd rather they delay it. This game absolutely has to kick ass, the storyline is too awesome for them to let go to waste.

I still can't help but think what a great movie this plot would make.

It's fiction so relax and just enjoy the what if's in the game rather than just thinking about it.

not entirely sure about this one...looks a lot like frontlines...i will have to be able to try some kind of demo or something before i buy

The idea of a police state in the US may not be far fetched after all... although I don't think an outside country would be the ones to initiate such a disaster. It would have to come from within...

I realize Homefront is a game. Apparently I am the only person who realizes that game critics should criticize, rather than promote, ill-conceived games. There comes a point when suspension of disbelief becomes impossible. When you consider the reality of life in North Korea, Homefront crosses the line that separates whimsical creativity from bad taste.

@Sniper Your right, they must be too concerned with soldiers running at ridiculous speeds instantly killing enemy soldiers with only a knife in the middle of war in COD. Or trying to locate the far off land that is only inhabited by 16 colossal giants with the occasional lizard.

@Sniper its a game, not a factual account of how this scenario will play out in the future. Or should we be overly critical of Italian plumbers that repeatedly save the mushroom kingdom?

Why are no game critics critical of the absurd premise of Homefront?

I think this game will be fun. Not every game has to be COD to be good and really black ops wasn't all that great anyways, short single player and the multi looks like something bungie slapped together. Really if activision crapped in a box and stuck a sticker COD MW3 would you guys buy it?

oh well not much of a delay, just as long as the game ends up better for it then i dont mind waiting

Frontlines:Fuel of War was a great offline and online game. I wonder if they will make another.

Mag better than BFBC2? I don't think so my friend. Not even close!

Ah did I said you to get MAG instead? NO?!?!? Well... Get MAG - it's cheap now and it's still the best FPS on market for PS3. If you think Homefront and COD looks fun then don't get MAG though.

lol. With every new trailer those guys just show up how retarded the game actually is. Looks like something that should be on PSN for about 20.00 $

Basically some losers bored of CoD have started to get hyped about it and the pre-orders have started to come in. I guess that extra week will get some more money rolling in before all the mediocre reviews are up.

Crap, now I have to wait a week to not buy it

THQ? Any other studio and I might consider it. Stick to bad wrestling games destined for the bargain bins, guys. And I'll stick to the gaming backlog I already have and not make it worse with what looks like an average title.

I'm still not sure about this game. Will wait a while for some more feedback me thinks! I reckon this game would have been much more interesting if it was, say america invading canada, Or Europe invading America. VERY dodgy I know but would be much more realistic than North Korea.

Maybe I will get it since it's not coming out the same day as Dragon Age 2. But I probably won't get to play it for awhile though

a week is not bad.and i can get Pokemon first.but it looks like a great game

This just in, North Korea threatens to retaliate with the might of a thousands nukes if this game is delayed again.

"Pedigree" in the game development sector usually means "churning out the same thing over and over". I don't care what Kaos have done before or who they've collaborated with or contributed to (although I'm not a fan of the grainy Frostbite engine), I'm just looking forward to the effect the Battle Commander and Battle Points concepts will have on campers, "one-trick ponies" (i.e. those who run around with the same class/weapon ALL THE TIME) and people who use/ruin objective matches just for kills.

North Korea attacking the United States?? Hahalarious =D

Bad timing to release this game if it was a known title like COD or BF it will be ok but this is something new which wont get much attention due to other big releases at the same time. Hope its something good that can challenge COD and BF cause ppl are really bored from those 2 titles fighting on front alone.

A week isn't too harsh. Would be nice to have a beta.

well at least they are not delay like GT5 :D

Hmm, this game is being developed by BF1942 modders who helped EA with BF2 and went on to make the uber-mediocre Frontlines: Fuel of War. Oh, boy. Not much of a pedigree.

Hmm now this falls on my Dragon Age 2 playtime.. ANd ill be playing Rift+EvE (as usual.) Meeeeeeh, for once i wish i was unemployed!

I loved frontlines!!!! I bought that game for like 10 bucks and had a BLAST playing it. if I had known that I would have payed closer attention to this game. I was waiting to see what kind of reviews this gets to buy it, but it sounds like it could be a cool game (but its silly to think korea could invade America. We outnumber them like 10 to 1)

Honestly....this is great for them. Coming out on the same week as Dragon Age 2 is rough and not really necessary.

In this scenario I predict I'd probably collaborate with the enemy, have an amazing sense of empowerment for several years, but we would eventually lose, and I'd be hanged for treason. Good times!

Can wait a week longer, better that then a month

Well inception of Kim... I think i overdose sedative Mr.Kim for about 14 hours. That's a week in dream time.

so will xbox version have dedicated servers for mulitplayer?

So instead of having two weeks of space before Crysis 2 comes out they decide to release it a week beforehand? I'm not sure this is the smartest move on THQ's part :?

A week delay!?!? Nerd Rage Growing.. lol jk

Yeah, this is probably because of the other big releases coming out around then-- Bulletstorm, Killzone 3, and like Chico said, Pokemon.

Seems to be shaping up to be a great game. A one week delay won't hurt anyone.

to scared to compete with Pokemon :P

Game looks good, no doubt about that. I feel a little sick watching the online though footage though, it seems all too familiar.

An FPS has been delayed. What will we do?

This is probably a logistics thing like shipping or something like that. One more week developing a game won't do any good, there are still gonna be glitches and they're still going to release a patch
