THQ recently announced Homefront, a new FPS from Kaos Studios. The game lets you go up against North Korea and will be released on PC, Xbox 360 and Playstation 3.

May 28th THQ press release:
THQ Inc. (NASDAQ: THQI) today announced Homefront™, a new First Person Shooter (FPS) from internal developer Kaos Studios®. Penned by John Milius (Apocalypse Now, Red Dawn), Homefront is set ten years after the economic collapse of the United States and follows the American Civilian Resistance as they fight to reclaim their homeland from an oppressive North Korean occupation. Featuring a personal, story-driven single player campaign and a full suite of multiplayer options, Homefront is scheduled for release on the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, PLAYSTATION®3 computer entertainment system and Windows PC. Homefront will be unveiled at E3 2009 in THQ’s booth – number 5300 in the West Hall of the Los Angeles Convention Center.

“Homefront isn’t about going to war on the other side of the world or battling aliens from another planet; it’s about fighting foreign invaders in your own backyard and defending your right to live,” said David Votypka, design director, Kaos Studios. “Homefront combines the unsettling notion of an occupied America with interactive, player-driven narratives to create a deeply engaging single and multiplayer experience.”

“Kaos Studios is using powerful narrative and environmental storytelling to create a plausible, near-futuristic setting where the people of a once mighty nation must fight to maintain their existence,” said Kevin Kraff, vice president of global brand management, THQ. “This harsh backdrop will be the foundation for an emotionally-charged single-player campaign and an intense multiplayer experience.”

I like the fact that John Milius is involved but it's hard to tell much else at this point other than it's kind of like Red Dawn: The Game...which in itself it kind of amusing.

third pic reminded me of HL2 for some weird reason.

I hope the levels are big because it's not really an eye pleaser apart from that awsome looking sky and clouds in image 4.

This sounds fantastic. Love the story so far, and the visuals look natural and realistic. I like that. I just hope they can address the aliasing somehow, with either some AA or atleast optimize the game to run at a native 720p.
