THQ's Danny Bilson has been expressing his total confidence in the planned sequel for Homefront.

Bilson stated that they have some news coming on 2 that should "instil confidence" that it will make amends for the shortcomings of the first title.

The core games boss began: "I knew some aspects of the game weren't 100 percent competitive with the best in class but there were other places where I thought it was better. The single-player should have been longer, and we kind of got wind of that too late to affect it. People were banging through it faster than we thought."

He continued: "But It was never really about that as a foremost thing; I was always really big on the multiplayer, which I think is a terrific game, but we had in our network code which gave us a very rough launch. That was incredibly disappointing to me. You'll never see us do a game without a live beta again. No matter what date we have to crush, as long as I'm here we won't put out an online-centric game without a live beta, so we can work out those bugs in advance."

THQ will be announcing a big new title this December and Homefront 2 is certainly a possibility.

Thanks Gamerzines.
