It's a regular co-op sale bonanza over in Microsoft Town this week. Major Nelson himself brought news of the discounts yesterday evening, presumably after braving the DDoStorms and hitching up his horse at the Truth and Reconciliation Saloon.
We at Co-Optimus are a happy go lucky kind of bunch who like to see the best in everything, but even we could only give the plodding Homefront: The Revolution an average score. However, rather than turn tail and run, Deep Silver have released a significant patch to try and improve matters.
At its best, Homefront: The Revolution is an average first-person shooter with some interesting game mechanics. Far too often, however, the game is at its worst; a buggy mess whose mechanics are clunky and are at odds with the way you want to play the game....
Folks started taking back the streets of Philadelphia when Homefront: The Revolution arrived earlier this week, and Deep Silver/Dambuster have revealed some details on what's next for the title. The good news on the co-op front is that additional missions will be added to the Resistance Mode for free.
The revolution begins next Tuesday and in anticipation of that historical moment, a new story trailer for Homefront: The Revolution has been released. The almost three-minute video introduces you to some of the major players that are working with you to take down the KPA in Philadelphia.
The latest Homefront: The Revolution wants to let you know that your actions will have beneficial consequences. When you take the fight to the KPA and capture that one strategic area, it won't just stay the same. Oh no. Members of the resistance are all too eager to get in there and practice their street art skills.
The latest trailer for Homefront: The Revolution was released and it highlights some of the new features for the title. Chief among these are the ability to modify your weapon on the fly and the "Guerilla Toolkit," which is their term for things like IEDs, a hacking tool, and an explosive R/C car.
Consider the following entry in the ongoing war of collector's editions vs your wallet: Homefront: The Revolution - Goliath Edition. Not only do you get the usual goodies of an art book and DLC expansion pass, they've also kicked in an R/C "Goliath" Drone vehicle with which you can terrorize your household pets.
This past weekend publisher Deep Silver and developer Dambuster Studios kicked off a limited closed beta for Homefront: The Revolution on Xbox One. The beta was the first step to testing the game's multiplayer infrastructure and gather some feedback. We were lucky enough to get our hands on, and played through the three available missions; delving into the unlocks and nuances this early look had to offer.
Homefront: The Revolution has joined the beta craze, with a closed technical beta kicking off tomorrow, February 11th through the weekend and ending on February 14th. This beta is exclusive to the Xbox One and you'll need a code to gain access to it - either via pre-ordering or from various online sources. The beta will focus on the game's multiplayer component called Resistance mode, which is co-op in nature.
Homefront: The Revolution is a little under four months away from seeing release and new information is going around regarding its co-op mode, titled "Resistance Mode." Where it was once thought that the main campaign would be playable with friends, it appears that much of that has been split off into its own thing.
Remember that time when the release date for Homefront: The Revolution was oops-accidentally leaked? Well, turns out it was spot-on! Look for the co-op enabled game to hit PS4, Xbox One, and PC on May 17th. And yeah, you can probably get five bucks off at Target, too.
