Return to the Homefront in Ultimate Edition

THQ’s latest release schedule has revealed the existence of “Homefront Ultimate Edition“. The near-future first-person shooter from now defunct Kaos Studios released back in 2011 with much hype, but unfortunately failed to deliver on almost every level. Nothing much has been revealed about what this edition will consist of, but the inclusion of the two previously released map packs (‘The Rock’ and ‘Firesale’).

To be honest, unless they completely re-work the game and double the length of the campaign having the word “ultimate” anywhere near Homefront is bordering on false advertising. It was a game that had a lot of promise, and had me excited to join the resistance, but then let me down in so many ways. Although re-releasing a game that’s based upon the premise of the death of Kim Jong-Il so soon after his death might be some sort of marketing ploy. Shame the year it had him die was wrong and as such as drifted into the yet-to-have-a-good-game genre of alternate history, forever to shelved next to the just as bad (if not worse) Turning Point Fall of Liberty…
