2011’s Homefront put an uncomfortable twist on the usual military first-person shooter: what if America was invaded and occupied? Though its three-hour campaign was woefully short, it nevertheless offered up a compelling dose of America-is-defeated gameplay, nicely spiced up by intriguing vehicle segments and a complementary vehicle-heavy multiplayer mode in a fictional scenario where North and South Korea unite, becomes a world superpower, and conquer the US.
Homefront: The Revolution – in development by Crytek UK (the TimeSplitters guys, not the Ryse or Crysis folks) after original Homefront studio Kaos folded in summer 2011 – isn’t a reboot, but it is taking the series in a decidedly different gameplay direction. In The Revolution, Crytek UK promises an open-world romp through Philadelphia, where the Korean People’s Army has been oppressing the citizens of Philadelphia for four years, and you as an average-Joe member of the American resistance decides to fight back.
