[PC/PS4/XBO] Homefront: The Revolution kommt von Crytec

-The graphics are underwhelming. Its not bad technically but artistically it also looks bland.


-There are technical issues like screen tearing and fps drops. I am not
sure if its fps drops or frame pacing issues but the game feels
sluggish. Beside that the game crashed once and have other issues like
items stucking in geometry etc. Please note that there maybe a day one
patch. It wasn't up for me yet.


-Movement feels odd and shooting is not satisfying.


-AI is also not good.


-The world feels huge. You can see Farcry influences every where


-In the start the game does feel like guerilla warfare. You have limited resources and have weak weapons compared to enemy.

ehrlich gesagt schreckt mich das Open World Konzept mehr ab, als das es zum Kauf verleiten würde. Die Spiele haben dadurch so unglaublich viel leerlauf und Atmo Einbrüche, mir persönlich hätte ein Homefront 1 mit besserer Optik völlig gereicht. Der Hauptreiz des Spiels war sowieso schon immer das Setting, und gerade das kann man im Schlauch viel intensiver rüber bringen. H2 habe ich noch nicht gespielt, aber durch die ganze Open World Flut der letzten Jahre, und den Zeitaufwand den diese Spiele üblicherweise verursachen, ist meine Freude sehr gedämpft.

Equally we see tearing to the top of PS4's output which isn't in evidence on Microsoft's machine. Xbox One remains the better performer of the two, and from the first cut-scene shows a lead of 2-3fps for stress points. The margin has narrowed significantly since launch, in part due to both graph readings now more readily hitting their 30fps cap, meaning we can't see the extent of the divide as we once could. But where there's a gap, it's Microsoft's machine that shows a lead in identical scenes.
However, despite the impressive optimisation push, it's clear the underlying CryEngine tech still buckles under the weight of Homefront's ambition on console. All told, while gameplay is smoother overall, there are still some noticeable frame-rate issues - it's still prone to running as low as 17fps in its opening cut-scene, while gameplay outdoors operates between 20-30fps. In these worst passages of play, we're looking at almost identical performance to how the title stood pre-patch. In short, there are still some profound bottlenecks the developer hasn't been able to address.
On the plus side, frame-pacing is improved on PS4, and generally caps properly at the target 30fps. This means fewer spikes to 16ms that could previously add extra stutter, while Xbox One still tops out at an unusual 32fps- an awkward number that continues to create a judder sensation to movement. Added to that, auto-saves are no longer as frequent or long as before; a nuisance with Homefront on release that caused the game to hang up for long stretches.
It's a more palatable experience overall, but if you're looking to buy Homefront the Revolution on console, this patch still doesn't address all of its frame-rate issues. Despite the significant improvements in some areas, it remains a compromised experience compared to PC, and even with its boosted performance, results on patch 1.06 don't bridge the gap to 30fps as often as it needs to in order to provide a smooth, hitch-free ride.
