LOL "a reality where North Korea has invaded the U.S" written by the red dawn guy and titled homefront...
admittedly crysis had evil north koreans too but they also had aliens.

i'm sure there will be a nationalist redneck audience for this garbage and part of me its glad that we get to kill slant eyed asians that arent wearing towels, japanese or nazis for a change.

still the hilarity of a game like this while the us is an occupying force in two countries is pretty great.

i'm sure this and that six days in falludja will be fun to watch.

How can I even take this seriously? What happens? Someone leaves the door open and the North Koreans get in and eat all our food and finally build enough strength to put up a fight?

I don't care if the story is possible or not, hell, better if it isn't. The trailer looks shit hot though, so I really don't care. Thank goodness for a game that's not set in afganiuzbekturkmenistan. Hopefully this comes out as good as it looks.

I guess you guys would all rather us be fighting the Nazi's again huh?

Maybe the Chinese would have been a better enemy here, but I'm glad. How many games have seen a country invade America? A dozen maybe? Compared to the 800 WW2 themed games set in Europe? How many of those involve North Korea invading America? I honestly can't think of one.

Its nice to see a developer take a risk and try something new. The game it self looks sort of generic action game, they could have a cool mechanic going with defending houses and everything being destructable...but even that these days can be considered "gimicky"

I'm hoping this does fairly well. I'll be giving it a go at least.

Well, they can make decent pre-rendered videos - too bad they can't translate them into a decent game.

Maybe if they quit using Unreal Engine 3 tech.

I saw the theater demo of this on Tuesday and was very impressed. They said they're only a year in, and the level was jam packed but if they can get a whole game like their demo level they're home. Tech, graphics, combat was all solid and impressive. I'm looking forward to it.

I still can't believe they are going with North Korea. Like they are going to magically gain technological superiority over the united states in the next dozen years or so.

Why not Russia? Why not China? They are at least capable of being potentially scary threats..but North Korea??

Hi, Looks like they have used a lot of frontlines content, another Kaos game, i.e. just look at the jeeps, Having said that, I love fronlines, and it can be picked up quite reasonably. Anyway, will put this game on to my buy list, pending reviews.
