Taking place four years into the occupation of the US by Korean forces – as portrayed in the original game – Homefront: The Revolution follows a new set of characters as they battle for freedom throughout the war-torn streets of Philadelphia.

By recruiting resistance fighters and using guerilla tactics in an open-world environment, players can terrorize KPA troops and attempt to gain the upper hand either alone or along with friends in online co-op.

A short demonstration underlined that. Brady and his mates were tasked with busting some militants out of jail, and took advantage of an improvised bomb diversion elsewhere in the location to get into position. Salim later told me that diversion was not a scripted event; it was supposed to represent a human partner — there will be four-player online cooperative multiplayer — providing a big assist to the operation. (Salim would not discuss what multiplayer modes other than campaign co-op, if any, are planned for the game.)

[SystemBug]

Open world....

 

[Daemul]

I've never played Homefront, is it good?

 

[maquiladora]

Open world....

havemyattention.leo

 

[SSReborn]

Lol that guy who made that next gen "wet" thread was right.

 

[Nirolak]

Hmm, open world and co-op.

Well maybe this will be more interesting than I was assuming.

 

[SparkTR]

I've never played Homefront, is it good?

No, no it is not.

 

[Jb]

Is that Troy Baker's face?

 

[Volotaire]

Open world aspect is certainly intriguing, and next gen only is great too.

 

[CassidyIzABeast]

That's totally the dad from KZ Shadow Fall

 

[Guymelef]

They forgot PC logo at the end of the trailer?

 

[Slowdive]

Open world is good news, I'm interested now.

 

[Sciortino]

Open world, current gen only. I'm interested for now.

 

[Soyongdori]

open world and co-op you say?

 

[DaBuddaDa]

Sounds like they're taking this the Far Cry route...interested!

 

[LiamR]

Actually looks pretty cool.

Edit: damn it xD

 

[NotLiquid]

Still salty that this is what Crytek UK have been working on rather than a new Timesplitters.

Need to see more than a CG trailer before I pass judgment.

 

[Stone Ocean]

Open world, coop and seems like the US is the "villain"?

That sounds really interesting.

 

[Daemul]

No, no it is not.

Guess I'll avoid it then.

 

[BurnOutBrighter]

Killzone: Origins

 

[Father_Brain]

Oh, a game set in my hometown? Huh.

 

[Dabanton]

This sounds like FPS version of Freedom Fighters.

Lets hope they can nail the encounter and tactical elements.

 

[BBboy20]

open-world environment

CRYSIS WITHOUT NANOSUIT CONFIRMED!

 

[Skinny Pete]

Meh

 

[dark_inferno]

Meh

And we are done here.

 

[Rosur]

Open world aspect is certainly intriguing, and next gen only is great too.

Yea open world is definitely intriguing. Seems like it will be something similar to the Mercenaries games.

Also glad its just next gen. Expecting a March 2015 date.

 

[kurahador]

On one hand it's open world & current gen only, on the the other it's Homefront.

 

[ILoveBish]

Trailer did nothing for me.

 

[Jintor]

If I can console enable all the enemies to speak Korean then you have my attention

 

[Bunta]

Open world, coop and seems like the US is the "villain"?

That sounds really interesting.

US isn't the villain, NK is.

 

[BurnOutBrighter]

Open world, coop and seems like the US is the "villain"?

What? North Korea is the villain, occupying the US.

 

[CreeperBlocks]

A open world Philly? I'm in. I didn't like the first Homefront so much.

 

[Throwaway123456789]

No thank you. Who asked for this? And what a boring reveal trailer. What were they thinking?

EDIT: And North Korea as the main foe seems even more ridiculous this time around than the last.

 

[LicenceToK1ll]

Pretty disappointing graphics for Crytek's standards tbh

 

[Cornbread78]

Hmm, open world and co-op.

Well maybe this will be more interesting than I was assuming.

First thing I noticed too, damn, now you have my attention Crytek... Keep feeding us info!

 

[Majukun]

trailer is so generic it hurts,but the open world scenario might shake up things a bit...not exactly hyped though..we already have too much games like that

 

[Dennis]

Those graphics could not have been more dull and grimdark.

For fucks sake, Crytek, remember Crysis? When you had good art design?

 

[Soyongdori]

Open world, coop and seems like the US is the "villain"?

I have no idea how you came up with that conclusion after watching the trailer.

 

[skynidas]

looking forward for the gameplay, good thing that it's PS4/XBO/PC only

 

[shiftplusone]

I've never played Homefront, is it good?

The first one was awful

This one bein made by crytek, outlook is grim

 

[Stone Ocean]

What? North Korea is the villain, occupying the US.

US isn't the villain, NK is.

I see. Still kinda interested though.

I have no idea how you came up with that conclusion after watching the trailer.

No sound at work, all I got going is visuals.

 

[Johnny.Rato]

Very interesting. I enjoyed the first one, can't wait!

 

[fantomena]

Meh

.

 

[wrowa]

You know, I'm kinda glad Crytek bought the rights to Homefront. Despite the first game not being any good, I still think that the setting is pretty cool.

 

[legacyzero]

I've never played Homefront, is it good?

It was ok. Nothing really warranting more than one play-through. And the multiplayer wasn't horrible

 

[Yoday]

Looks pretty stunning. I am expecting a Spring release for this, as that has been Crytek's go to release window for quite some time now.

 

[Witchfinder General]

1. Killzone: Second Son

2. Where the hell is the PC logo at the end?

 

[Dio]

As if Korea could occupy the USA.

The other thing that gets me about the Homefront series is that it always felt to me like some sort of ridiculous fearmongering 'WHAT IF KOREANS TOOK OVER AMERICA?! THIS COULD ACTUALLY HAPPEN' scenario. Reminds me of a cheap crappy right-wing fantasy trip about America being overthrown by evil foreigners and the common man must fight back because right to bear arms etc etc.

 

[Canis lupus]

This trailer couldn't have been more generic.

cgi: check
generic shootout: check
explosions: check
average white male protagonist: check

add on top of that this is a sequel to a bad game, made by Crytek, it doesn't instill hope in me.

Also surprisingly this trailer combined elements of Killzone Shadowfall and inFamous Second Son, what a blend.

 

[GooWop]

trailer looked cool. Never played the first but they have my attention with open world and co-op.
