Kaos: 360 getting Homefront DLC first due to strong support from Microsoft

Homefront’s senior level designer Rex Dickson has said the reason Kaos Studios and THQ are releasing DLC for the game on Xbox 360 first is due to the support Microsoft showed for the game.

Honestly, this is the first time I have heard of this game.....Just watch some gameplay footage and it look like a every generic shooter. Will pass.

[ironmonkey]

i agree. no interest in the game

[KotC]

Kaos Studios has a relationship with MS and 360 owners because of Frontlines. Is it realy that hard for you to use google? It's like how Kojima gives special treatment to Playstation owners even though they have games on other systems. Sony slips money Kojima's way the way MS is doing here.

Someone needs to reach through the internet and slap some reality in you.

I'm interested in this game, but I hate Microsoft's business practices. Although, all might be forgiven if GFWL is included in this deal.

[ikkeweer]

@TheHater, you haven't been to N4G for awhile then (or any other gaming site for that matter).
I'm m interested in this game, story seems a bit far fetched, but still.
But common, KZ3, Crysis2 and Homefront all within a one month time table, why?

[Cajun Chicken]

Shame. Nothing but timed DLC to shell out on.

[Inside_out]

Another big release...another game that is treating the 360 crowd with the respect it deserves...of course it helps if M$ throws them a couple of dollars from that massive 1.2 billion revenue generating XBL piggy bank...lol.

It might not seem fair to the " other " players but these games sell millions more on 360. If M$ didn't spend any money every one would complain they are greedy and don't care. If you missed it, Xbox 360 is getting an exclusive Crysis 2 multi-player demo beta and of course COD: black ops map pack first as well...money well spent if you ask me.

It's getting really busy all of a sudden with Bulletstorm and the gears beta, Crysis 2 beta and the black ops beta...it's only January...good times.

Crysis 2 beta looks hot....

dude why don't you give it a rest already, even your good friend Omega gave up

[trounbyfire]

so they got paid basically

i am not sure HF is going to be big so ....yeah no to many people care

[BrianC6234]

I don't even want this game. Just another shooter. And with a dumb story. No way would North Korea ever be able to invade the US. At least make it a believable story. Maybe have it be Russia or China.

[kancerkid]

Make it real, like Killzone, or HALO, you say? Or how about Alan Wake or LittleBigPlaent?

[iceman06]

Come on now...let's be real...or not. It's a fantasy future story loosely based on the political climate of today. According to the devs, it's not just North Korea but a nuclear North Korea that has united with or taken over much of East Asia and taken advantage of a United States weakened by economic downfall. It's basically a modernized version of Red Dawn (written by the same guy no less). This, and the guerrilla warfare aspects, are probably the only reason that Homefront is still a blip on my 2011 radar. But, to each his own.

[KaiokenKid]

So, its timed? Meh, no biggie then.

[PirateThom]

Microsoft showed support for an FPS... well, that's a shock.

[KotC]

So why do you PS3 fanboys keep screaming about Killzone 3? Look up and down to see my point.

[PirateThom]

Are we really going to do this?

It's not like the PS3 is relying on Killzone or Resistance as its two games this year. Do you get that? It's not that "Microsoft shows support" it's that it's the only genre they show support for.

[plb]

Who cares..will be playing KZ3

[KotC]

You're off topic. What does that have to do with Homefront?

[byeGollum]

due to strong €££$$$$$$$$$$$ lol ... I just had to lolz

[Buffniceguy]

I'll be playing Killzone 3 and LBP2 it's okay.

[jetlian]

first 3 comments by sony fans who knew lol. Homefront looks just like frontlines which was an ok game. Well based on the 2nd demo. the first demo was really bad.

The whole points thing looks better than KS from COD. atleast so long as you get kills or objectives you get to atleast try the good stuff.

[ForzaGT]

who needs homefront when there is socom and killzone

[jetlian]

of these games play the same.

[artsaber]

PS3 exclusives makes random (mediocre?) multiplats a hard sell anyways for many PS3 owners. We do like to spend our cash on quality. Many folks will still be playing KZ3 when Homefront drops.

[RyuStrife]

Maybe because Sony has to have more support for their own games?

KZ3, R3, Infamous, Uncharted 3, and etc..

[30sec]

Damn that story image is fugly.

[R_aVe_N]

"due to strong support from Microsoft" is a modern day way to say Microsoft gave us money. Timed DLC is pretty stupid if you ask me. It is pretty much a marketing tool to push people to buy one version over the other. Hey if you don't want PS3 people to buy your game just don't make it.

[ironmonkey]

is homefront created by the same developers who made metro?

[Pandamobile]

No...

[Obama]

May be MS should consider getting real exclusives instead of timed DLC.

[Mkai28]

The crazy thing is,on that same website. Ea is bringing Crysis 2 demo exclusivly to 360. Huh?

[xX-PEIN-Xx]

haha does anyone even care? M$ didn't need to do this, nobodys gonna buy this game on PS3 anyway.

[SpLinT]

no one is gonna be playing this crap. KZ3, Crysis 2, COD scrubs, Dead space 2 or whatever. LOL Homefront should learn to be original , theyll learn though. Once theyre game flops and sells 10 copies (their family members)

[earbus]

getting day one as i loved fronlines.

[jalen247]

Microsoft needs all the BS timed exclusivity DLC that they can get this year because Sony is definitely dominating them in terms of 2011 games.
