I agree with you that the guys behind it have passion. I played the first Homefront multiplayer a lot because it was kinda...fresh, the ideas and the design choices were quite fun in my opinion. But the thing that made me know they cared about the game was thir Gamescom Demo back when it was close to releasing. I was able to play it and I have to tell you guys the commitment they had in that area reserved for them, I don't even care if only a few people glance over this comment. It was a beautifully designed enclosed area with ambient sound and a good wait line structure, you had two guys in North Korean Uniforms walking around the stand at all times, cracking jokes, playing pretend fight with cosplayers, or even roleplaying and telling people to stand straight. I shit you not, one Girl in front of my was Asian and they checked her Passport for funsies to check if she was Korean, it was a blast and the waiting felt like a good time and not dreadfull. Once inside they would show you a little trailer after haven told you the premise of the story in form of a acted out roleplaying scene, after the trailer they roleplayed further and "killed" the north korean guards to free you and lead the resistance in form of playing the prepared demo in the next enclosed area. It was a good demo aswell, you had freedom to do whatever in a rather large environment but sadly as is normal for coms the time limit put an end to the fun rather quickly. So yea, it was awesome, and when I began reading the reviews and criticism about the game I always kept in mind that these guys have fun doing what they do and actually care a lot.

Late, but the development of HTR was sad. After their showcases in 2014, Crytek started having financial troubles and stopped paying the Crytek UK team who were forced to stop developing the game as a result which resulted in 3/4ths of the Crytek UK team being laid off. They then sold the title and Crytek UK to Deep Silver who then renamed them to Dambuster Studios. After that, there were lots of rumors that HTR had been scrapped, but around that December, DS announced that they were restarting the development and extending the release date to allow for the remaining team to finish it. The original release date was Q1 2015, then it was pushed back to Q2 2015, and then they finally pushed it back to Q2 2016. A team of around 25~ devs had to finish a AAA game which shows in the release state of the game, but that small team continued to pour their heart and soul into the game. I was active in the HTR forums on their website, and the devs were just awesome. Normally on forums, a dev team/ the publisher has mods they give out and rely on them to hunt through the threads, but with DSDB, the first three responses to a thread were from devs. They took every feedback and checked every thread they could. I became friends with a lot of the devs with how active they were. Basically, everything Noah said about what he feels the dev team cares about is 100% true from both my experience with interacting with him and your experience from their Gamescon showcase. While nothing is confirmed yet, I do believe that DS is giving Dambuster a full chance at making a Homefront when they're at 100%. THQ Nordic recently bought Deep Silver and specifically noted DSDB and the Homefront IP in their announcement as well as saying they won't be halting any development. Talking with one of their devs on Twitter, he seemed positive when I joked about a H3 once. 2019 would be 3 years since HTR released and that was the original development plan for HTR, 3 year cycle, so we could see a reveal at E3 around the corner. Something also interesting is that there was a third game type being hinted at E3 2014 before all that crap started. They already announced the campaign and coop mode, and a lot of the devs were hinting at a third game type that they couldn't reveal "without being killed by the rest of the team." I believe it was a PVP mode similar to the original Homefront's multiplayer. They ignored questions about pvp until after development was restarted when they announced the campaign and coop were the only modes so I believe the development struggle caused them to abandon it. There was also leaked multiplayer gameplay a while before their announcement trailer showing vehicles and weapons as well as uniforms that look exactly like those from HTR in a pvp environment that looked similar to the OG Homefront. So if a H3 is in development with DSDB at full strength, I think an OG Homefront multiplayer would definitely be in the books. Also, there were lots of talks on the forums with the community wanting the OG Homefront remastered, but envisioned with the rebooted storyline and open world mechanics of HTR which would be amazing.

@@TheSaint491 Yeah, I really hope we see a reveal this year from Dambuster. They're either working on a new Homefront or a new Timesplitters game. THQ Nordic bought the Timesplitters franchise around the same time as buying Deep Silver and all its subsidies. Nordic also bought another of Dambuster's previous titles called Second Sight. I doubt they'll be the next titles from Dambuster though if Nordic said they weren't going to be changing any of the current projects at Deep Silver. But I'm hyped no matter what we see from Dambuster. It a dev studio with such a rich history from Timesplitters and Crisis to even the canceled Star Wars Battlefront 3 game.

In the past I've seen people decrying "patch culture," but games like this provide a pretty good argument for why being able to fix games post-release has value: when you can buy a game with faith that the developer will support their product, a game that never would have even been released can stumble out of the gate and still turn into something special.

As someone in the industy, "patch culture" is a shitty thing and nobody should stand up for it. If the developer was not rushed to release the game, it would have launched at it's finest - AKA /after/ the patches. Consumers shouldn't accept half-cooked things, that's how this predicament began. Instead, we should put the blame where it lies: publishers. Corporate deadlines push most games like this out before they're ready, and that's why patch culture is garbage. It's unfair to developers who have to live under an oppressively close deadline and have to crunch to meet release and /then/ crunch for weeks and weeks afterwards with bugfixes while being yelled at to do so. It's also unfair to them because of reputation. Look at how H:TR was received because it got pushed out the gate early, staining a product of passion, manpower, and love with ridiculing memes because of something they were unable to help. The developers of H:TR don't necessarily put value on post-releases fixes, in my opinion, but they show how passionate and well-managed the team was, or how a publisher took a step back and realized they made a mistake.

Eventually you have to confront the rail car, but if you've stealth killed the majority of the guys, it makes the fight way easier.

It's an old school notion that the game should be in pristine condition upon release, people think that issues on release will be permanent because that's how it used to be. Nowadays you can obviously tell the difference between a game on release and it's respective 1.6 patch. Games are also absolutely massive today, it's only natural that patches would be more common and that games would be completely fixed and even turned around some time after release. After watching this video, I'm honestly willing to give this game a chance, the notion was completely non-existent before.

This game was not nearly as bad as critics made it out to be. It had some issues at launch, but it was patched up, perfectly playable and at times, even enjoyable. Politics probably had a lot to do with the game's poor reception. I remember reading comments saying things like, "I'd only play the game if you could join the Koreans and kill Americans." Edgy, spoiled middle class "anarcho-communist" kids no doubt. Sure, the plot is dumb, but if you bear in mind that the antagonists were originally meant to be Chinese, it makes a lot more sense. China threatened the publisher and the villains were changed in the original Homefront.

While Mafia 3 had a rough release, it's another game that I actually really enjoy. Mainly because there's no other game that has re-created the 1960's so faithfully. The map is very unique, the cars are unique, the time period is unique, etc. So artistically, it's a great game. But on the technical side, it's truly a disaster. I can honestly say Hanger 13 is one of the most incompetent studios to ever make a AAA game. The game is so broken it's insane. The graphics don't justify the PC you need just to maintain 60fps. I have a GTX 1070 and 60fps is rare on the lowest settings. It's really disgusting. Also, every patch introduces new bugs that then go unfixed for months until the next patch. It's so unbelievable. I love the Mafia franchise and really hope 2K gets their shit together and burns down Hanger 13. I don't mind if they keep people from Hanger 13 who were involved in the story decisions but anyone involved in the actual engine - the technical side of it, should straight up be banned from the industry.

I grab about 1 game a month. Sometimes cool kid $59.99 usd AAA with another $45-$60 in DLC if they isn't a bundled edition yet, sometimes the $15 w/all dlc like this was last week on STEAM. The key codes for it w/dlc were between 3.97 - $6.03 but I try to avoid keys from smaller companies and are still supporting the game while we have large companies spending low *under 50 million is low for a dev budget on a big AAA game* and giving up on it within a few months if they don't see a 750% return on their money in the near future, and fan review scores are low because of valid complaints in the game quality (see Mass Effect Andromeda who to date has sold roughly 4 million copies, or $240 million if you consider the avg purchase price $60, though many people paid less, more paid for the collectors editions and who knows how much they have made in multi. The 50 people I know personally that own it spend about $25 a week, which is nuts, as I have not spent a dime, and they have no advantage over me of note in multiplayer. Anyway, say in total they have grossed $300 million - the 40 million for marketing, patches, their multiplayer support, which makes no sense why they count 5 mil that should have went into the game as multi support since it is locally hosted and 5 of the 40 was already set aside for patching, another 3 for the frostbite engine EA owns, 7 for marketing... crap, that only left 19 million for development over 5 years. Anyway, $260 million profit, so an epic fail, and not only is support poor, but they scrap the franchise. Wow. I wish I watched this review earlier as I was on the fence. The game was already in my checkout basket, I watched a few more reviews (I know, it was just $15 bucks, but I keep myself to that 1 game rule regardless of cost. I'm a single dad, and there are so many little things that $15 bucks could go too, like Ice cream and hot dogs at the beach with the midget (my son, not a real midget silly). None of the reviews I read or watched included the DLC, though many of the ones I read included the patches. Good review, perhaps I'll pick it up later this month (if it's back to $60 and $45 in dlc I'll wait for another sale).

another big reason why people showing the game is because they took away the feature that people wanted to see an improvement on the most which was multiplayer. because it was left on but people start picking up good it was.

Thank you for that, I really enjoyed that take on The Revolution. I feel guilty for tossing it out after the initial word about it's glitchiness and problems. Gotta say thought I only commented this so I could say I love your taste in cars, especially the old Toyota truck. Still dreading the motorcycle sequences if I pick up the game though.

I don't think they were as lofty as you claim. It was paid DLC, not free, and the season pass owners would've been screwed out otherwise. The DLC they released from all I've seen is just enough to capture what was promised, but not enough to truly make HF: Revolution groundbreaking or at all worth the price of admission. Why? Because the publisher needed a shooter to get into the fray with Battlefield, CoD, and Ubi's The Division and Ghost Recon. This game has a bad reputation, not because people are spoiled or because it was a well made game that got killed by word of mouth but because it was simply bland and not that well done. It faded easily into the tapestry of cookie cutter FPS titles. Revolution is the sequel nobody asked for for a game most people had forgotten about. Unfortunately passion only gets you so far, and I refuse to reward bad games just because the people that made them spent time, money, and their energy on it. That doesn't harken back to "simpler times" it relates to the "everybody is a winner" nonsense. If you truly want to tell the tale of a developer who had passion but got royally screwed, go read up on Danger Close MoH 2010 / Warfighter. Both games that were ahead of their time but got screwed by bad EA marketing and a gaming populace on console and PC who weren't ready to accept hybrid shooters. Now you have games like Squad, Insurgency, and RS2: Vietnam making bank on the same premise.

"The DLC they released from all I've seen is just enough to capture what was promised, but not enough to truly make HF: Revolution groundbreaking or at all worth the price of admission." FPS games don't need to be groundbreaking. Dying Light is an excellent open world FPS games, and Homefront: TR's closest relative in terms of urban design, and it was a shameless retread of Dying Light mixed with gameplay elements from Far Cry 3. "Because the publisher needed a shooter to get into the fray with Battlefield, CoD, and Ubi's The Division and Ghost Recon." Why, though? Their intent was to make "open world Half-life". They weren't aiming to compete with Battlefield and CoD. In fact, they intentionally scrapped Homefront 2's CoD-style campaign and Battlefield-style MP. And Ghost Recon and The Division are co-op games. Homefront: TR doesn't have campaign co-op. "This game has a bad reputation, not because people are spoiled or because it was a well made game that got killed by word of mouth but because it was simply bland and not that well done." I can't disagree more. It's a solid game that had an absolute catastrophe of a launch. For some reason, audiences respond poorly to an FPS game that runs at 15fps on consoles, crashes constantly, and corrupts saves frequently. Homefront: TR does a number of things really, really well. The level/world design is superb. The storyline is solid. The music is excellent. The gunplay is top notch. And the general atmosphere of the game is really, really good. The combination of visuals, weather effects, the "living and breathing world" created by random NPCs wandering about and chatting, arguing, trading, and so on. "It faded easily into the tapestry of cookie cutter FPS titles. Revolution is the sequel nobody asked for for a game most people had forgotten about." HFTR isn't actually a sequel to Homefront. It started out as one, but Homefront 2 -- a linear FPS with PvP multiplayer modelled after the 2011 game was scrapped, and Homefront: TR was created in its place. Parallels can be drawn to Prey, Prey 2, and Prey 2017. Perhaps they should have abandoned the Homefront IP because there's a lot of brand confusion. But at the end of the day, how many open world FPS games set in urban environments can you count? If the genre is so cookie cutter? "Unfortunately passion only gets you so far, and I refuse to reward bad games just because the people that made them spent time, money, and their energy on it." Your premise is that it was a bad game, and not a really good -- if divisive -- game that launched in a completely broken state, and fell victim to the rapid "consensus" that forms in today's gaming communities. Homefront: TR received negative reviews from critics largely because it ran like shit and was comprehensively broken. It now runs beautifully and the bugs are more annoying than serious. To be clear, between May 2016 and September 2016, the game performed extremely poorly on consoles, and worse on PS4, of course. I think you're underestimating how much impact being completely broken and running like shit will have on an FPS game. "If you truly want to tell the tale of a developer who had passion but got royally screwed, go read up on Danger Close MoH 2010 / Warfighter. Both games that were ahead of their time but got screwed by bad EA marketing and a gaming populace on console and PC who weren't ready to accept hybrid shooters. Now you have games like Squad, Insurgency, and RS2: Vietnam making bank on the same premise." Those are interesting games, but from the sound of it you're talking about their multiplayer, not their campaigns. I don't think Noah does multiplayer stuff. His focus has always been on singleplayer. Medal of Honor 2010 was a success, but IMO Warfighter fell victim to the FPS/TPS bubble bursting where people began refusing to buy FPS games if they had a 5-8 hour campaign. Amy Hennig has argued that Uncharted 1 would never be released nowdays because it had no MP, was 10 hours long, and had no bonus modes. MP fanbases are extremely toxic. Every FPS game that gets a reasonably popular multiplayer ends up dominated by them.

The thing is, everything that TR has another game has done better. Fallout has that same living, breathing world without the random walls and funnels that push you towards a location. As far as story, it's decent. The campaign, though, is bland. It's a lot of the same, repetitive grind that we see often. And the co-op that was offered was just too lackluster to truly write home about. That coupled with the major bugs that it had killed this game, and with good reason. I'm not hating on this game because I heard it was bad. I am hating on it because I went into it wanting to love it. An open world co-op game with a sandbox SP? Awesome. The problem was just that it was a rushed title. And it showed. I hate Mass Effect: Andromeda for the same reason. As far as the rest of your points, I concur that it's biggest issue was the glitches and bugs, but I dont think you can totally discount the fact that this game just wasn't good enough without those to capture an audience. It wasn't amazingly done. It didn't capture anything that it's predecessor hadn't already done in terms of theme. The game, for me, just had no soul. It was the video game equivalent of the Red Dawn remake. As far as MoH goes, even if you focus on the SP, there's a lot there that EA missed the boat on. It was the only game in recent memory that had a story directly told to and inspired by real special operations soldiers. It faithfully retells the stories of Robert's Ridge/Takur Ghar, for example long before it became hugely popular in terms of story. Warfighter was the same way. But EA focused more on the MP element that they rushed Danger Close to develop and emulate other shooters that it lacked theme. Anyway, I think I'm mostly saying that I went into Homefront: The Revolution with really high hopes because I did enjoy the first game. I knew not a lot of people even care anymore, but I thought maybe it'd be decent and I didn't enjoy my time.

"Fallout has that same living, breathing world without the random walls and funnels that push you towards a location." That's kind of a fair point, although they were aiming to mimic HL2, not Fallout. And the existence of a game like Fallout 4 doesn't mean that people should just pack up and go home because they're unlikely to match it. "I am hating on it because I went into it wanting to love it. An open world co-op game with a sandbox SP? Awesome." That's kind of the problem. It's not an open world co-op game. People expecting something like Ubisoft's games were going to be sorely disappointed because the co-op is more like Syndicate 2012. "It's a lot of the same, repetitive grind that we see often." Yes and no. It stands in stark contrast to a game like Far Cry Primal because in Homefront: TR you don't have forced open world busywork. You can ignore about 90% of the strike points and side tasks. You're not forced to perform the same repetitive tasks over and over to progress through the storyline like you were in some of Ubisoft's older titles. The upgrade system uses money, so there's no hunting rare pelted animals to built a bigger bag to hold more pelts in. "As far as the rest of your points, I concur that it's biggest issue was the glitches and bugs, but I dont think you can totally discount the fact that this game just wasn't good enough without those to capture an audience." The game sold very well initially. It had no problem capturing an audience. It was surprisingly well marketed and had relatively high preorder numbers. The problem was KEEPING the audience when it took them five months to get the game to a "playable" state. And it wasn't until TEN MONTHS after release that the game was finally holding 30fps on consoles, which an increasing number of FPS gamers consider barely acceptable performance. The word of mouth around the game being completely broken and running at 15fps, paired with negative reviews about the game being completely broken and running at 15fps killed the game's legs. I cannot overstate just how screwed the game was on consoles at launch. Over on GameFAQs you see people, a month after release, talking about how they've restarted the campaign five times and keep running into the same game breaking bugs. We see a similar issue with Sniper Ghost Warrior 3, which launched with heaps of bugs including a very common save wipe issue, serious performance issues on consoles, and this caused a lot of people to adopt a "wait for patches" stance. That game will be fixed eventually, and we'll likely see renewed appreciation for it.

I had skipped Homefront 2 when it came out, despite actually liking the first one just on the basis of it being Red Dawn The Game, because I had heard so much bad press about it, but between this and the other homefront video I think I should go back and check it out. Sounds like the things that were good enough to make me forgive the bad in the first game are better, and the bad stuff is less bad.
