The series which, alongside uDraw tablets, crippled THQ is back for another bite of the Paranoid America cherry. Homefront: The Revolution, which was originally going to be developed by Crytek, will finally be completed by Deep Silver's new Dambuster Studios – a long journey for a pretty ordinary looking first-person shooter.
The title takes some inspiration from the forgotten PlayStation 3 original, with North Korea assuming control of the USA – a situation which has the noisy natives restless. The Philadelphian map's divided into zones: the Red Zone is war torn, the Green Zone forms a base of operations for the KPA and its conspirators, while the Yellow Zone is where the people live in an "Orwellian" nightmare.
It sounds alright until you watch the trailer and realise that the title doesn't have anywhere near as much identity as its pretty press release prose would lead you to believe. You'll play as a freedom fighter, meaning that you'll… Sigh, conquer strongholds and liberate your hometown from the – oh, what's the point? You've played this kind of game before, right?
It's out on 17th May.

Hardly looks revolutionary does it?
Yay - cant wait for thi...... What its not a house building game? Put those bricks down lads.
@ShogunRok I do think it looks very last gen and I can't see this bringing anything new/unique etc to the genre. At best this will be a bargain bin purchase but more likely to be ignored by me.
This is the game we're going to get based in Philadelphia..........?
This really reminds me of Second Son minus the "powers". I'd like to see some actual game play. Is this going to be open-world?
Cmon guys stop being negative, this has potential, let's see when it comes out
Basura.
I think its looking alright,people shouldn't write it off before its out.
@special_donky Exactly, well said
Look's pretty good, I played Homefront alot on the 360 it was fun it had a unique in battle perk system. Some people would rather play those walking sim interactive movie/game's I suppose.
My greatest game embarrassment was mentioning to a friend I thought the first game looked interesting, he picked it up on my word alone, I was a reckless fool.
