Will Homefront finally bring us a good fps?

[garagesaleking!!]

I have been very disappointed with the recent fps offerings. To me Halo Reach and Black ops were complete letdowns. I have been following Homefront since it was first announced and it looks really amazing if its what they say it will be. I hope this is finally the fps to get me turning on my xbox again which has been sitting unplugged for months.

Considering the current word is that the game is a real letdown... nope.

I never understood the hype of this one. It looks so generic.

I think the appeal is with the storyline. It's by the same guy that wrote the movie Red Dawn and it's a very similar story. Personally, I find it interesting as you rarely get FPS games set on US soil and rarely are Americans portrayed as the defenders or rebels instead of the liberators of foreign lands. Having said that, I too have heard and read that the game engine and play mechanics are not up to standards which I hope is not true, so I'll wait and see before deciding what price point I'll pick this up at.

I might just get the Japanese version, if only because the Korean army is replaced by "An enemy from up North".

Wait...Kaos chickens out of making China the invading enemy (see Kotaku and Game Informer) and has to substitute North Korea? Lol....Great storyline. Very believable.

If any N. Korean soldiers came here to take us over, I'd just show them the inside of my refrigerator. I'd be their Emperor in a week.

Anyway, Frontlines online multiplayer was pretty good while it lasted. I'm not sure I want to take the $60 plunge to find out if this one is better.

This game is on my "watch" list. Not a day one buy, but at the right price, absolutely. If it reviews reasonably well, I'll pick it up at full price no problem.

I don't have much respect for the game seeing as they made a novel out of it already. I thought the game was based off the book but no its the other way around.
