With all the weirdness surrounding Crytek it’s good to see Homefront: The Revolution has been packaged up and moved to another development studio, again. This time it’s over to Koch Media who owns Deep Silver which happens to have a brand new studio in Nottingham, Deep Silver Dambuster Studios, that is happy to take over development.
The shitty part of this deal is you just know this means there’s some real issues going on over at Crytek and many people will start to be or already being effected. I’m wondering what this will do to the whole narrative that is Homefront: The Revolution. Will we see three very distictive styles throughout the single player, almost like an anthology horror film with many directors, or will it just be a mess of ideas that lead down back alleys?
