In a recent interview with Eurogamer, the head of THQ teased a Homefront sequel, and gave some insight into how Homefront 2 will work.
"Everything we learned from [the original] you'll see executed in other games going forward, and including that franchise going forward. We'll have some really interesting announcements in the future about the future of that brand," THQ's core games head Danny Bilson said.
While Homefront received mixed reviews (but very, very good sales for a new IP), the potential of the series is hard to argue with -- it's just a cool setting and idea for a shooter. Bilson's comments show that THQ regard Homefront as a learning experience.
"I would like to get to a place where we don't get mixed reviews, we get all great reviews, as certain games get. We had 40 reviews over 80. 40. And some that were just down in the bottom. I don't want to have games that are so controversial on quality. I want to have consistency across everybody's experience with them."
If the obvious problems with Homefront are corrected in a sequel, I could see it being a long-running, successful franchise.

A sequel would he amazing. Better AI and better graphics and it would be sweet

i played homefront yesterday and while i didn't expect anything impressive i really enjoyed this game. it has some really annoying things but the real problem i had with it is that i finished the campaign on one sitting (4 hours). i can see how some people would feel cheated if they paid full price. thank god i rented it!

Home front was actually a very good game. Remeber its about more than quantity. This game grabbed you at an emotional level. Sure I would have liked more campaign time. But dlc's can cover that if done correctly. As for the multi player. I have to admit the team balancing seems to be an issue, but otherwise the experience was fun. And thats what its all about isn't it? I will definately buy Home front 2. I'm looking forward to it. Just as long as the developers learn and continue to evolve the title in a positive way.

THQ was already talking sequel before the game was released... Very good game if it were only a couple hours longer

It is hard to decide which was worse, Homefront or CoD.

I don't understand why everyone is so quick to cast off Homefront as a one and done experience. Yes the single player campaign had some flaws and yes it was incredibly short, but it did have some potential.
If they were to make a sequel, learn from the mistakes of the first and fix everything that was wrong with it, then it would be an outstanding experience. The story is already there, the gameplay just needs to catch up.
Hell, Activision cranks out the same game year after year (Call of Duty), and people flock to it like a moth to a flame. Don't be so quick to judge.

I was so happy when this game came out with all the ads. It looked stunning until I got it home..
Doubt I will ever buy another Homefront product. If the rumors are true and they are NOT doing a part 2 because of the studio being closed down as reported here by G4 that would be fine with me.. I highly doubt anyone is going to buy a part 2 after how bad it was...

Well it's all about that Money. THQ is still a pretty small Publisher and Homefront presales were STELLER and the biggest launch of THQ history.
Homefront's Campaign was intense but short (and at parts just didn't make sense) and the MP was some what fun but very unbalanced.
But everyone wasn't fired at Kaos, from my gathering the plan has always been to move everyone from Kaos to the Canada HQ of THQ. Whether people like Kaos Chefs took the offer I'm not sure.
Unless THQ Changed their entire plans and did fire everyone at Kaos, but that would be... weird.

Wait wait wait... didn't they just fire everyone at Kaos today? No mercy.

Can't see it happening with them shutting down Kaos Studios recently and with how bad the first one was. Do they really want to risk it?

i think havin a seqal to Homefront could be awesome,but i dont know want put in the game to let it stand out.

they're already starting their overblown hype machine for this game. not gonna be fooled like the first one, no buy

I am kind of surprised to see that they are going ahead with a sequel. i thought the original was fair at best, especially when compared with other games in the crowded genre.

Homefront would of been a lot more succesful had the single player mode been longer than eight hours of play. There are a lot of gamers out there that like to experience the game for themselves. I would rather play a game for hours on single player then spend hours on multiplayer and having my gameing experience dictated by some 13 year old that has never been outside to play!
