Kaos Studios and THQ have teamed up to make Homefront, a futuristic shooter, all that it can be. Kaos Studios outsourced the PC version to Digital Extremes who are responsible for ports of Unreal Tournament games and Bioshock. How does this game stack up to the other big name releases from the last year?
Alex & Mike talk Biomutant, a game from Experiment 101/THQ Nordiq you likely have not heard of. While the AAA side of the industry tends to homogenization and imitative, cinematic presentation, “AA” games remain creative and innovative in 2021. Drawing on inspirations as varied as Dark Souls, third person shooters & kung fu cinema, Biomutant is Ratchet & Clank on acid, developed by a team of 20 people.
Jack writes: "Back in March 2011, the first-person action shooter Homefront arrived on the Xbox 360 from THQ, along with a storm of publicity which included a really cool live-action trailer"
Remember THQ? They published such games as Avatar: The Last Airbender, Darksiders I & II, the Destroy All Humans series, Homefront, the Red Faction series, and Saint's Row 1-3. Almost as famous as their games were the THQ marketing stunts, including a Golden Wii.
another great score!
Maybe my perspctive is scewed being an adult, and coming from PC shooters like RB6 but, the grapics are more realistic than CoD Black Ops. Just played Black Ops again and it was cartoonish comared to Homefront. Sure, the interface and menu are more polished, but take a good look at the graphics again........Yellow and green houses??? really? Homefront to me is less of a cartoon and more Battle Sim. People hate change. But take an honest objective look again at CoD and you will see good/GREAT in both. IMHO.
