IGN interviews Lead Level Designer Rex Dickson about Homefront

IGN, the gaming and entertainment website, has interviewed the Lead Level Designer Rex Dickson of KAOS Studios about Homefront, the first person shooter videogame being released March 11, 2011 by THQ. 

Michael Thomsen asked several tough questions in what he calls: A skeptical interview about Kaos Studios’ emotional first person shooter.  

The article starts by saying:

Homefront is a challenging shooter from a studio of self-made developers. Kaos Studios began as renowned mod makers for the Battlefield series before launching their first original work, Frontlines: Fuel of War, one of the first 64-player shooters on home consoles. Homefront is an equally ambitious step into advancing the possibilities of single-player shooter design. Its story comes from Red Dawn screenwriter John Milius. Kaos has cast his tale of North Korean invasion against a foreground of emotion, consequence, and violence. I recently had a chance to play the game’s opening chapter and ask Lead Level Designer Rex Dickson some hard questions about the game’s themes, mechanics, and improbable story concept.”

If you haven’t seen the trailer for Homefront, here’s a look at the Developer Diary that was recently published.
