:/

Why FFS!

Yup. Card pack RNG progression tied to microtransactions.

I already want this generation's gimmicks to die off.

Visually, all the night time footage has looked great. Shooting seems punchy too. Co-op could sway me, but the RNG loot shit gives me real pause.

 

[KKRT00]

Hmm, if its anything like Warhammer End Times Verminitide in difficulty and they focus on loot a lot, it could be really great coop game.

"Unable to Wow" my ass.

This looks pretty damned good graphically.

Yeah, sure. I mean look how good the draw distance is....

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

Honestly, it has a lot of time, but it looks fine for now. Could be better, but it looks fine.

For a game from former Free Radical, I do hope more of their personality shows and it's not just "NORK" that comes through. Cause as the Eurogamer staff says, this is pretty po-faced and not really distinguishing itself in tone from many other FPSs. Homefront was so po-faced that things like jumping into a mass grave were made unintentionally hilarious.

Oh my.

 

[grosvenor_92]

Sounds interesting and am kind of hoping the game turns out to be good.

I liked the MP from Homefront (yes, I do know that this doesn't have online MP). I got into playing it before I left the country for work in 2012 and upon getting here started playing the campaign. I ended up liking the story mode, despite it being a cheesy Red Dawn ripoff. Neither the SP nor the MP did anything TOO crazy, but I was still thoroughly entertained. So I will pick this up shortly after launch, I imagine.

Waaaaay back when it was first seen it was going to have full campaign coop. Now it's just specific missions?

No thanks.

 

[Z3M0G]

Yeah, sure. I mean look how good the draw distance is....

What are you referring to exactly? The smog buildup between you and the tall buildings? Or the lack of anything else beyond them?

I would try it

To be fair, footage linked in OP looks very washed out. Could be what people are judging on. (I know I did)

I really wanted to like Homefront but I think even MW2's campaign (of all things, hahaha) hammered the home-ground-warzone thing better, even if it was more hoooah and less occupation.

 

[nampad]

Have to say this looks way more interesting than before. I just love coop games

The beta of yesterday have nda?

 

[Messofanego]

The beta of yesterday have nda?

Don't think so. Ian Higton of Eurogamer played the X1 version for a couple of hours. Watching it now. Looks ehh and he says it feels sluggish, compared to the single player and PS4 version.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Alx5AubFgLY&t=58s

His summation at 1:52:30 is that it's not as good as he was hoping it to be.

 

[IbizaPocholo]

I suppose the game have nda because the clips i made didn't upload to the activity panel.

If this beta is the same of the next month...the game it's gonna be bombed.It's feels more like an alpha like than like a beta.Clunky controls,bad graphics(remind me to warfare in the 360)and the system of purchasing packs for the weapons,attachments etc disgusting.I suppose there is gonna be a model of microtransaction with this for the packs.

The graphics are not great, with problems of texture streaming.I have to say the game reminds me to warfare in the 360,the 2 missions of this beta are average fun.A las barricadas is a straightforward mission focuses in the action but the other mission one is really great because is a big map with freedom to approach to the objectives with a lot of enterable buildings.You can do the mission with stealth or action and there is a motorbike in the middle of the mision.That's the best mission of the beta for the possibilities. But again the game is not very great and i don't like the mechanics of collecting trash for craft items like fc3/4.Btw the system is the same like fc3/4 and the alert of enemies exactly the same.

In definitive if you have friend for play in coop could be "some" fun but the gameplay is very meh with nothing great for me because i see this in another 100 games. And for the technical part don't look like a great cryengine game with streaming textures problems and doesn't look particularity great or memorable.

Seriously a forgettable game with nothing special.

Did they disable the like/dislike count on the trailer? lol

Looks slightly better than that cringeworthy previous trailer. The voice acting is still taking this far too seriously. Those night shots look good too, don't know why they didn't use them in the trailer, which looks a lot flatter.

There's loot in Homefront: The Revolution, though you'll get it by way of packs available to buy at the end of each mission, with each one containing packs of cards that unlock special equipment. You buy them with in-game currency and, predictably, there's the option to spend real cash in order to attain unlocks that little faster. It's hardly unprecedented, and Dambuster Studios is, of course, at pains to point out it's not pay to win and is rather means for more time-strapped players.

That's exactly what pay-to-win is. Exchanging money for gameplay benefit.

 

[Astery]

it loses me at shortcut micro transactions.

Yeah, you can buy only with playing the game but is a pain in the ass and it's clearly designed for the microtransaction system.Bullshit.

Hope there's significant actual home exploration. I liked games like Battlefield Bad Company where you could fight through houses and blow holes out of the wall. Then there's the Last of Us where you could find cool little items around abandoned homes.

Well i one of the two coop maps there are some home exploration with explorable buildings.


The next friday is the next session for another 3 hours.
