The wait is getting shorter for fans of story-based shooters, with only months until they can get their hands on a title that brings not only stunning visuals, but an intense story line crafted by the writer of cinematic hits Red Dawn and Apocalypse Now. The game is Homefront, and its story places players not into the boots and fatigues of an elite war-fighter covertly operating in some distant battlefield, but into the jeans and sneakers of an American citizen defending their nation from an invading army.
The latest story trailer for Homefront takes a closer look at the North Korean military occupation, and the country that has been reduced to rubble. For those players expecting an easy fight, the strength of The Korean People’s Army has some bad news.
Given the years of political coverage - and a little help from South Park - North Korea is not a difficult country to see as a potential aggressor. The trailer goes a bit deeper than assumptions, and it’s clear that in the mind of writer John Milius an occupying force works in the same way, regardless of nation.
The previously released gameplay videos of THQ’s newest shooter show that the singleplayer campaign itself looks spectacular as well as emotionally-jarring, but this newest trailer shows something new. Putting the player in the role of a patriot defending their country is sure to draw out some intense emotions, and this latest video gives players an idea of the physical state of their homeland and a closer look at the methods of their enemies.
