homefront1b

THQ’s released a new trailer for shooter Homefront, the first video for the game in over a year.

Get it below, courtesy of IGN. There’s also new shots at EG.

It shows the back story of the game, showing the timeline to the war between the US and “Unified Korea”, which consists of North and South Korea, as well as Japan, including a recent clip of US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in Japan over the recent sinking of a South Korean submarine.

Alongside the release of the trailer, several outlets have also gone live with impressions of the game. Get them below.

Homefront releases next year for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and PC.

Very compelling backstory. I felt so much anxiety while watching it; A scenario like that is very much possible.

I want to know more, if only to see how well its story is told.

A tad distasteful using the actual footage regarding the dead sailers IMO. Looks like an interesting game though. Is it an FPS?

I was assuming this was dropped already.

While South Korean soldiers are probably among the fiercest bastards on the planet, Japan and RNK couldn’t invade a 7-11.

You have to ask yourself how retarded you have to be to overlook China and just go “Oh, Unified Korea and Japan, that’s much better”.

Well, the background story is pretty much insulting. Let’s see if the gameplay can keep up with it.

It has a good team and I really enjoyed urban parts of MW2 so, who knows, I may get this.
