I downloaded the trailer on xbox live today and even though it doesnt show any gameplay I really like what I saw. It actually kinda scared the **** out of me as this is something that really could happen,

I saw an in game demo video and it has a lot of potential. The story is really stupid but that can easily be overlooked with great gameplay.

I like the concept, but I bet the execution won't be that great. Who knows yet though? I have to consolidate my purchases so I'll probably get RAGE instead, but I'm still open to the idea of buying it. Trouble is, it has to be a shooter and I already have tons of shooters. Too bad it's coming out when a bunch of others will be out. I doubt it will do well as a new IP.

The story doesn't look stupid to me because if you're aware of the state of things globally an EMP attack is probably the easiest way to conquer America. Also, I think China and other communist countries are most likely to try and do it. It simply makes sense whether you like it or not is your own cup of tea.

I dont understand how you think the story is stupid, It deals with things that are going on right now. Kim jong il is probley going to be replaced by this guy and who knows what he is going to do. I think it is nice and "fresh" to have a story that is grounded in reality.

just saw the trailer for the game... and i agree the story behind the game is kinda ridiculous... N. Korea doesn't have the industry to amass a full invasion of the United States or even Japan for that matter lol... but it's just a game and like in movies anything can happen lol

IDK If we were EMP'd It would knock out all of our defences including communication. If they followed up with the invasion directly after the atack we would be pretty helpless...

The aggressor in the game is the Communist Korean Empire not something realistic like the Chinese or Russians. The North Koreans can't feed themselves and have virtually not electricity how are they supposed to take over half the world?

If they EMP'd the United States they risk also affecting Canada and Mexico, while even though they may not intend to, is an act of war against those nations, and they will respond.

Still depending on the size of the EMP, and if those countries were also affected, they would also have difficulty in organizing a response

North Korea does not have the resources. They have to import food for God sakes and that's paid for by the UN and South Korea.

If all electronics in the U.S. were knocked out, 90% of the population would be dead in 90 days. I'm not sure what the story of Homefront is, but if it involves that then the idea of weapons functioning sounds kind of ridiculous, not to mention the fact that any kind of military defense would be pretty much impossible.

I don't see how the story is stupid, as everybody else has said, it is very much a threat, North Korea is very close to getting nuclear capabilities, and their leader is stupid enough to use it, and you may not know this, but nukes let out an EMP. When the nukes were dropped in WW2, electronics in Hawaii got messed up because of it.

That game looks incredible. It quickly shot up past To End All Wars to be my second most anticipated game. The story so far sounds amazing and actually realistically possible. Frontlines was a pretty fun game and it seems that the team at Kaos as learned a lot.

I think they wanted to get a story that was more about the USA under the control of another country and work off of that.

The story seems like fun fiction, frankly I'm sick of fighting Russians in all my video games. I'm really looking forward to the game, all I need to see are a round of decent reviews and I'm sold. THQ have been doing some good things lately..

You can argue the story is 'fun', 'unique' and 'fresh' but it's as realistic as Forest Gump winning a spelling contest.

Looks like something new and unique, which is what i need, the game play i've seen and cut scenes remind me of a modern day Half life 2 in a way, tho i haven't seen alot, i would love if it felt like Half life tho

An EMP blast would never be strong enough to shutdown North America in its entirety, its ridiculous. North Korea wouldnt even be able to conquer South Korea and/or Japan. And China wouldnt even let them do that, if someones going to invade Japan, they would do it, not NK. But then China in its american economic dependance towards the US, they wouldnt be able to afford to break up relationships with the western world. Their economy would krash.

So in other words, stop pissing in your pants kiddos, North Korea aint conquering anything, period.
