Homefront - Fiction or Reality?

Life imitating art imitating life... It could just be. I've been doing a little bit of research on Homefront after the release of some pretty cool gameplay videos released earlier today, admittedly in one of the videos it does just look like you can melee stab your way through the entire Korean army without being killed by the hordes of enemies swarming you, but still.

Haha, it might just be exactly what is going to happen at this rate.

[EddyD]

It's getting closer by the second.

[George Sears]

You actually believe that South Korea would unite with the asshole government up North?

You should start reading more info about global politics and global news in general. Just a few days ago the North fired some artillery on civilian houses.

'Japan surrenders to the Greater Korean Republic'

Judging from the trailer, Japan surrenders due to the possibility of being attacked.

Come on..it took the country two nuclear bombs to finally admit defeat, there is no way in hell Japan would surrender to the "possibility" of an attack.

Also, why would the world just stand by and watch as countries within Asia are getting annexed?

Unrealistic to say the least, entertaining though.

[Killer6]

I'm guessing because everyone else is just too busy fighting wars everywhere else, and the premise that the US is suffering from total economic collapse.

Dunno, maybe the Japanese are just terrified of being nuked again, can't blame them.

[EddyD]

It says that the US started pulling people back too. Its weird because the game starts in Colorado apparently, when the US has already been invaded and the Koreans have San Francisco.

[George Sears]

You think Japan is as powerful military wise as they were in WW2? Give me a break. Japan wouldn't stand a chance against North Korea if they would try to attack it today.

After the war they just resided to have somewhat of a self defense force rather than a military might.

But North Korea wouldn't dare to do such a thing since they know they would have dire consequences with the U.S. and UN in general.

[mushroomwig]

Granted Japan aren't as powerful as they once were but that still doesn't change who they are..they're not the type of people who will surrender without even fighting.

[Killer6]

I just like that its set on a US occupation, not like Call of Duty which is set around some hilarious and ridiculous "nuke the whitehouse" scenario.

[mushroomwig]

Yet the idea of North and South Korea uniting, taking over Japan, annexing multiple countries and taking out America with a massive nationwide EMP strike which was hidden inside a communications satellite isn't ridiculous?

[EddyD]

Owned, and i'm out of bubbles, but so worth it :D

Fiction but fun fiction

[femshep]

id say pure fiction with recent events

homefront has unified Korea

in reality North Korea just pissed off South Korea and the rest of the world......so no unification for them

[Pehdahosman]

Here come the theories and angry Republicans.

[Bass_fisherman]

Homefront as a fictional reality based on predicted future events that may happen if some politics weren't involved.But a war against the US is possible.

N. Korea and S. Korea may have their own problems right now but powerhouse nations like Russia, China and Midle East contries have also their each own purposes against american imperialism.But the US always tries to maintain their money "under the table" cause we all know that conventions like G20/NATO are made to keep that unbalance between America and the rest of the world.

America does not desire war (now) ,of course, cause we know who started this recession in the first place and so a war against the US may happen in the future for financial interests.

War is all about money and power nothing else so this scenario can be very accurate but i hope not for the sake of peoples life's.

[Bolts]

North Korea invade America? I can't even express how moronic that is. Are we talking about the same country that can't even feed itself, has virtually zero access to fuel reserves, and does not have any strategic air lift nor any kind of deep water Navy what so ever? Lol. Yeah that can happen.

[Bass_fisherman]

Yep its stupid but the reason bringing this to a video game is even more stupid.

[femshep]

i agree that its stupid but it is a lot more realistic then Russia invading America, only because Russia is one of our greatest allies now as apposed to the 1950's.....right now N. Korea is our greatest enemy and the worlds and S Korea is our ally. It might be more believable if its ww3 and were in N Korea

[Johandevries]

Russia ally? Hey, this isn't 1994 anymore
