MULTI Homefront: The Revolution

Es spielt auf der anderen Seite des Mississippi - niemand weiß, was da abläuft, weil die Nordkoreaner den Mississippi mit radioaktivem Jod verseucht haben und niemand den Fluss ohne Chemikalienschutzanzug überqueren kann

THQ AND CRYTEK COLLABORATE TO DEVELOP NEXT HOMEFRONT TITLE

Legendary FPS Developer Set To Take THQ's Successful Original IP To New Heights

AGOURA HILLS, Calif., September 20, 2011 - THQ Inc., (NASDAQ: THQI) today announced that the next title in its Homefront® franchise will be developed by multi-award winning FPS veterans Crytek.

"Selecting Crytek to take Homefront forward underscores our strategy of working with the industry's best talent," said Danny Bilson, EVP Core Games, THQ. "Homefront's unique setting and storyline captivated gamers the world over. With Crytek's industry leading technology and legendary experience in the FPS genre, we're supremely confident that the next Homefront will deliver that AAA-quality experience that players demand."

"We see Homefront as a really strong universe that has a lot of potential and that has been expertly created and marketed by THQ," said Cevat Yerli, Founder, CEO and President of Crytek. "We believe that bringing our level of quality, creativity and production values to the next Homefront title creates an opportunity for both THQ and Crytek to deliver a truly blockbuster game.

The first Homefront title was released in March 2011, and proved to be a commercial success for THQ. The yet-to-be-named sequel is scheduled for release in THQ's fiscal year 2014 on console and PC platforms.

Ich finde man sollte diese Spiele nicht als gut bezeichnen, nur weil sie gute Grafik haben. Spielerisch war das alles nicht bahnbrechendes.

Crytek UK reigniting Homefront

Nottingham-based studio responsible for Haze, TimeSplitters taking on development duties for as-yet-unnamed sequel.

While THQ's stock dived as a result of the mixed critical reception for Homefront, the publisher hinted in May that a sequel was on the way when it announced that 2.6 million sales represented "a solid start for this new franchise." Hopes of a full sequel were dealt a blow back in July when THQ confirmed that it was to shutter Kaos Studios, but today the publisher confirmed that another Homefront game was indeed in the works.

The sequel to Homefront will be released at some point in the THQ's 2014 fiscal year--which translates as some time between April 2013 and the end of March 2014--according to the publisher. The game, which does not yet have a title, will be developed by Crytek's Nottingham studio, which was known as Free Radical before it was bought up by the German developer best known for the Crysis series and Crytek engine.

Free Radical's most recent game before being annexed was the less-than-stellar Haze, though before that it was best known for the revered Timesplitters series. Details on the game were scarce, save that it wil be powered by "the very latest" CryEngine technology.

The game will be released on "PC and home console platforms," according to THQ. The press release for the game does not confirm specifics, though it does reference both PlayStation and Xbox platforms, with no mention of the Wii U or other Nintendo offerings.
