Homefront is an open world FPS video game set during the invasion of the United States. It was released on March 15, 2011 by THQ for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. The game is based around a near-future conflict between the United States and People's Republic of China. After China invades Alaska, mainland America becomes vulnerable to invasion as its ground troops are forced to spread out over a wider territory. The player assumes the role of Robert Jacobs (Spike), an operative for Homefront's resistance group called The Front, who has been captured by Chinese forces during their occupation of Alaska. Homefront takes place in the state of Pennsylvania, which was chosen because it is considered to be a swing state in presidential elections. The game was built using Epic Games' Unreal Engine 3. It was met with positive reception upon release, selling more than 1.5 million copies, but was criticized for its short campaign, limited multiplayer options and numerous bugs. THQ announced the second game in the series on February 5, 2012. The developer of "Homefront", Kaos Studios (formerly known as Idol Minds), began working on the game shortly after THQ acquired it in 2009 for $22 million (£13 million). Kaos was given around $60 million (£35 million) to produce the game. Most of the development team behind the "Unreal Tournament" series was acquired by Kaos Studios in a 2007 buyout of key talent from Certain Affinity, a subsidiary of Epic Games. The demo for "Homefront" was released on March 1, 2011, and features a level from the single-player campaign. In it, the player assumes control of Robert Jacobs (voiced by Troy Baker), a member of The Resistance movement fighting against the North Korean occupation forces who have occupied Philadelphia following an invasion from Alaska. The demo ends after being recaptured by the North Korean forces. "Homefront" was announced on February 5, 2011 as a "highly anticipated action title from legendary developer and publisher THQ". "PC Gamer" gave the game a perfect 10 out of 10 score saying that "the single-player campaign alone is worth subscribing to Xbox Live for." The high quality of the multiplayer component was highlighted as critics noted that it provided both an incentive to play and an enjoyable experience. The developers stated that they were inspired by "Far Cry 2", another shooter set in a dystopian future where the player fights against his or her fellow humans for civil freedoms and resources. The game's premise was created while the developers were "enjoying the notion of having a whole country to play in" after playing "Far Cry 2". The team changed the setting to take place in a "much more relevant time period", studying the impact of modern military technology on society. The game takes place during an invasion of the United States by North Korea, with American forces fighting to regain control of Alaska. The American player has been captured by Chinese forces, giving him or her an opportunity to escape before being executed. It is set in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, later revealed to be a swing state in presidential elections. cfa1e77820
