THQ shuts down Kaos Studios

Not surprising, both frontlines and homefront were mediocre at best. Its a shame because I actually had high hopes for the former developers of desert combat, probably the best mod I have ever played.
 
THQ needs to get a fucking clue and a change of management.

For every game of theirs that is a blast, they manage to meddle and destroy 4 other IP's.

Kaos all just dropped the ball on their PC releases, buying into the console hype. Too bad they were just trying to imitate their competition and everybody saw it.

To be fair, Digital Extremes can take some of the blame for Homefront on PC, since they ported it.

Yea, but FFOW was all Kaos, and there were plenty of dissenters that waited on Homefront precisely because of how FFOW was handled.
 
Homefront in particular is something that really should have been a MUCH better game than it is.

Agreed. Immediately after launch it was ghost town and THQ didn't do anything get people on board. Lots of bugs that should have been cleaned up quickly. I feel burned for going out of my way to support this game.

It's one of my personal big gaming letdowns in recent memory as well.

I'm guessing the 'PC' part of it. :D

The Koreans really were portrayed in a very unflattering and arguably offensive manner in this thing but be that as it may, I thought the concept was fascinating and fairly good narrative.


For all those nice trappings, to me, it's a fairly medicore FPS in the end for the single player. Multiplayer is decent.

I'd give it 3/5 stars and that's thanks to the strong story element otherwise it would be a 2.5/5.

I felt like I was seeing an incomplete product. I could see ALL kinds of crazy potential for a far ambitious project that simply wasn't tapped. Too bad.
