Kaos GM David Votypka has said the firm would consider making the single-player portion of Homefront 2 a bit longer than the current five-hour campaign, providing it doesn’t take away from the multiplayer component.
Speaking with CVG, Votypka said doing so though, would require a bit more balancing on the team’s part to make sure it didn’t take away from the multiplayer component – currently considered the best part of the current Homefront.
“It’s a balance really. So if we were doing a single-player only game – and there are some of those out there of course – then you’re talking maybe a 20-hour single-player campaign,” said Votypka.
“I think going forward we’d certainly work on extending it a few hours, but going past the 10-hour mark and doing a category-leader multiplayer game… you just have to balance your development resources there. I think the main thing is do people feel that they got enjoyment out of the single-player campaign and enough of it? So we’ll see how it comes out and what the gaming audience has to say about it.
“We also want to focus on a large-scale multiplayer game and that you get a lot of hours play out of that as well – because that’s infinitely more re-playable than single-player anyway and you’re going to spend the bulk of your time there. So we really want to make sure that’s robust and deep.”
