I’m thinking about picking up Homefront. The gameplay looks pretty cool and I like the storyline seems interesting. However, I’ve heard the game has received mixed reviews, so I’m not sure.
One thing I find interesting is how the main villain was switched from China to North Korea. See, the game was originally supposed to be about the Chinese invading America, but the developers were afraid of offending China. What makes this interesting is that Homefront was written by John Milius, who wrote the origina Red Dawn. Recently, it was announced that Red Dawn was going to be rmade with China as the main enemy, but it was changed to North Korea during post-production, because the filmakers were afraid of losing money in the Chinese market. Basically, a movie and a video game with the same story were being developed at the same time, then altered in the same way for the same reason, and John Milius has a connection to both. Interesting.
