Are the Reviews to Blame for the Sudden Price Drop of Homefront?

Conflicting Gamers - "Wow…already? It seems retailers have started panicking about the reviews for THQ’s newest release, Homefront. After mixed reviews started coming out, and then THQ’s stock took a dive, it looks as if some retailers are trying to unload their copies of Homefront!"

I think THQ lower the price to ride the hype train and get people to try it so they can milk the franchise later on.

-I also don't think the $60 price point is going to last. It back fired on publishers. More consumer are buying games used it seems

I never buy games day one anymore...I will ALWAYS wait. Most games are discounted within a few weeks of release!

KillerBBs5203d ago

Smart! Wanta buy a copy of Home fc from me.

SeNiLesBack5203d ago

Wow, sux for those that bought day one. Actually,for those that bought day one, go in an get a pricematch. If they don't match it, buy at the discounted rate and once you receive it, return the sealed copy.

SeNiLesBack5203d ago

Hahaha, a disagree... OK then, don't get a deal, head to BestBuy or GameStop and pay FULL price!!

Shackdaddy8365203d ago

I just disagreed cus it wasn't a bad deal for me... 50 bucks for two games and an extra hat for TF2 isn't bad for me...

I was actually interested in this when I first heard about the plot. I've always been a big fan of anything to do with North Korea (since it's basically a George Orwell book come to life and is as fascinating as it is terrifying) and I kinda fell for the hype that this game was going to be fully grounded in realism without cheeseball characters or over the top moments.

The moment it changed for me is when I saw the little intro movie which, let's face it, is a full on rip off of the Call of duty franchise. I'm talking about the montage of real film clips with little two tone animation. It could be ripped from a Call of duty game. It's such a shame, they could've done something great with this game.

Tbh it is pretty odd. Never seen a price drop day 2 regardless of bad reviews.

The multiplayer in Homefront was actually really fun.

Devs Share Personal Touches They've Hidden in Games

Last week game dev Steve Thornton took to Twitter to ask: fellow devs, have you ever slipped something into a game you're working on that's just for you? The replies are well worth a read.

I liked the State of Decay graphic artist whom put penises in the textures.
