Next-gen-only sequel is an "open world FPS", set 4 years after the original Homefront.
In development at Crytek, Homefront: The Revolution is an open world FPS set in Philadelphia four years after the events of the original game that sees America "on its knees".
"Philadelphia - once the birthplace of Independence - has become a ghetto, where surveillance drones and armoured patrols keep the population at heel, crushing any dissent with savage force," says Deep Silver. "Her once-proud citizens live in a police state, forced to collaborate just to survive, their dreams of freedom long since extinguished.
"But in the badlands of the Red Zone, in the bombed...
We sent rabble-rouser Steve to see the new Homefront. He made it back alive, but the news wasn't all good.
For a game which decries the propaganda of the invading Koreans, if I didn't know better I'd say it was fairly propagandist itself. When a Crytek UK spokesman took to the stage and announced that the North Korean Army which was keeping its captured citizens in check had "watchtowers, drones", I desperately wanted to ask him if he had read anything about America in the last 5 years. It's also set in Philadelphia, the "home of independance". Sheesh. I'm surprised a bald eagle didn't swoop down onto the rep's shoulder and squawk out the national anthem. Give it a rest.

Learn how to tail players with ease in our latest strategy guide walkthrough.
When you join a match, you’ll start several hundred metres away from your target. Depending on your opponent’s skill level, they will either try to flee or find you, with more experienced players looking to get as far away as possible.
The best way to tag a fixer without being profiled is to drive until you’re within around 150 metres of them, get out the car and walk the rest of the way, preferably taking back alleys and scenic routes on your approach, as they’ll be looking for you, too. If they drive away once again, get back in a car and catch up, but don’t drive at...
Watch Dogs Review, you say? Here's one by our resident lawman Tam McGleish, the hero no city needs. Tam delves into Ubisoft's latest open-worlder and gets a bit of an Assassin's Cringe.
"We'd advise against buying Sniper Elite V2 on Steam in the next few days," the developer said, "but we WOULD advise scoping out potential snipers to play with ... news soon."
Rebellion says that the tease is linked to a "'significant' announcement for their award-winning Sniper Elite franchise" that promises "to extend the reach of the series to a new audience".
The news isn't related to this month's launch of Sniper Elite 3, however.
So could V2 be heading to next-gen consoles or mobile, or could it be due for a significant discount? We'll find out later...
Since then lots of marvellous creations have seen the light of day. Thankfully Microsoft's News Wire has put together a list of ten of the best user creations you should take a look at.
A Cotton Tail
The story of a small squirrel trying to escape a desert environment, this is one of the prettiest "Project Spark" creations to date. It's a nice, enclosed world with more than simply enemies to kill; your job is to run, jump, and not get eaten, all in an attempt to escape the desert.
Oakvale: Fable
This is a full recreation of the very first quest in Lionhead's classic...
And PS4 sales up by 94%, too, thanks to Watch Dogs.
While exact sales figures have yet to be revealed, 82 per cent came from the Mario Kart 8 bundle with the rest split between the existing Premium and Basic hardware packs.
Mario Kart 8 itself shot into second place in the UK All-Formats Chart, becoming the Wii U's fastest-selling title and the second fastest-selling title in the series.
It was a good week for PlayStation 4, too, with sales increasing by 94 per cent following the release of Watch Dogs.
But will Nintendo be able to maintain strong sales of Wii U as it heads into the second half of the year?...
Game defaults to the new scheme, but you can change back if you wish.
The new stylus controller option is set to 'on' as default, but players can switch things back to how they were in the settings.
You'll know the update has been installed as the game will boot with the message, "GamePad control style has been set to [Stylus]. You can switch back to the original controls via the menu".
If you've picked up Mario Kart 8 then remember that registering the game earns you a choice of one free game, with Pikmin 3 one of the available titles.

Sony Santa Monica hints at imminent reveal for next-gen God of War.
"The Gods have spoken once again," teased the studio, "maybe they are just excited for #E3 #earthquake #LA."
Sony has yet to announce a new God of War title or confirm Santa Monica's next title. The studio had previously been rumoured to be working on a sci-fi project headed up by God of War 3 director Stig Asmusson, although that was reported to have been canned earlier this year.
Sony's E3 conference takes place at 2am BST next Tuesday, June 10.
Since removed, but was listed for Xbox One, PS4, Xbox 360, PS3 and PC.
The product listing has since been removed, but it's expected that Warner and developer NetherRealm will make the game official later today.
Creator Ed Boon has been teasing the game's announcement for the last few weeks.
Mortal Kombat 9 was released in 2011 and was seen as a return to form for the franchise. Since then, NetherRealm turned its attention to Injustice: Gods Among Us, which brought DC super heroes together for a big fight.
