THQ says Homefront can take on MW2
Sequel already planned
As reported by Gamespot, THQ's Danny Bilson exuded extreme confidence at an investor's conference this week, claiming Kaos Studios's upcoming first-person shooter Homefront has what it takes to go toe-to-toe with heavyweight Modern Warfare 2.
"People say, 'Why are you going into this Call of Duty space?' And it's because I know we can compete." Bilson repeated for emphasis, "I know we can compete." The last shooter from Kaos Studios, Frontlines: Fuel of War, had difficulty competing due to middling sales, despite decent reviews.
That wasn't the end of it. He also let slip that THQ has grandiose plans for a franchise, admitting that the single player campaign in Homefront would be a small part of a larger serial story to be continue in a sequel.
Yes, that's right: THQ already has Homefront 2 queued up well before the release of the first game.
