Ooooooo fk
Wishlisted already
That sound you hear is my wallet slowly sobbing in the corner for the pain that 2022 is to bring

There was a 1 and a 2? (http://www.aarcentral.com/emoti/shrug.gif)
-
Apparently I have the Homeworld Remastered Collection...no idea if that's 1 or 2 or both or what :groovy: ;D
In any case, my son and I saw this on the game awards last night, along with a few other good-looking games (such as Star Trek Resurgence and Star Wars Eclipse, though I think both are Telltale type games, so we'll see).
-
I think that the remastered version is classed as II.
-
Shipbreakers (or whatever it was eventually called) is in the Homeworld 'verse as well.
-
I bought Homeworld Remastered I think - if I did play it, it was for a very short period of time. I assume that was a big hit with you lot?
-
For all that I'm generally not a big fan of straight RTS games, Homeworld is...different. Special, even. I didn't even play that much of the original game back when I owned it, but I still recognized there was something unique about it.
As for specifics... Despite being real-time, combat tends to be more tactical (due to taking place in a full 3D environment), and less of a twitch-fest. The visuals and artwork are stunning. The storyline is well done. The music is amazing. It has brought people to tears; how many strategy games (or even games in general) can say that?
Admittedly, I suspect Homeworld wouldn't have the same effect on most of us now, compared to what it might have two decades ago. Either way, though, the game definitely left its mark.
-
The game's release has been pushed back to next year:

Perfect. Gives me (more) time to play the games I'm already way behind on. :P
-
Another of those stunning looking games that I somehow never got the hang of. <sigh>.
-
If it's any comfort, Bawb, I never fully did either. I did have fun stumbling around trying to figure it out, though. ;D
-
Sounds about right. More annoying was the fact that I have a buddy who mastered it with seeming easy.
-
The original game was absolutely groundbreaking when it came out. I don't think anyone else has done proper, full 3D RTS in space anywhere near as well as Homeworld did.
Needless to say I loved it, but to my shame I never played the sequel. And to my further shame I have the remastered collection in my library and I've put....er, two hours into it. I need to get working on that.
-
I loved the story the concept and the graphics and sound but not the combat
There never appeared to be anything I could do other than have more guys than them and hope for the best
But in some scenarios there was a hard ceiling of units you could build and I could never win - this was the first time it came out mind - my younger mind may have not grasped something obvious
-
All true Geek, I definitely replayed some missions from that first campaign. It was not easy.

Sounds like we might get see some more footage at GamesCom this weekend.
-
Is the release set for Q4 this year or next year? I’ve seen both years posted.
-
I just read somewhere earlier this week that it had been delayed. That's backed up by the fact that on the game's Steam page, the release date has now been changed from December 2022 to "First half of 2023".
-
Whatever the date, I cannot resist making this a Day 1 purchase, I need help.
-
I *think* I can resist buying it on release day. However, I'm not holding myself to that promise...
-
^That sounds like a definite Day 1 purchase to me :)

The scale in Homeworld 3 is tremendous - it's a space RTS for the James Webb era (https://www.eurogamer.net/the-scale-in-homeworld-3-is-tremendous-its-a-space-rts-for-the-james-webb-era)
And those two words "it's fun" are crucial to what Homeworld 3 is about. It's as though the faff of the old games has been tidied away - but not sacrificed - to enable the exciting parts of the formula to come through. And what really comes through for me is space.

Oh my

Trailer with extended footage:
I know it's cherry-picked, but it's still hard to ignore all the sexiness.

I wonder if we get more information on the galaxy and find out who the Progenitors really are.
The first game was revolutionary, Cataclysm was rich with worldbuilding potential and a genuine "horror RTS" and then Homeworld 2 was almost a seamless continuation of the 1st if the events of Cataclysm did not happen or was simply forgotten about.
Deserts of Kharak was a pleasant surprise. The Homeworld has some really rich worldbuilding potential that I feel the writers aren't tapping into. Maybe we'll get something good out of 3. Time will tell.
-
I have Homeworld Remastered...but it's not installed and in my "hidden" list in Steam with a total play time of 20 minutes, so I have tried it, but I don't recall why it didn't stick with me.
-
I just re-installed (Homeworld and Homeworld 2 Remastered) this yesterday to have a go. 2 things stand out that are mild annoyances
1. Can't invert mouse movement
2. Can't get a unit out of a group. I have several units in several groups now
Overall though, not a bad game. Late to the party, I'll admit!

Might need to spawn a new thread for this. Have any of you seen this?

gameplay and stuff
im sure the music style has a name - i think its fantastic

I loved Homeworld.
I couldn't get into Homeworld 2. Maybe my tastes had changed and evolved from RT clickfests to more deliberative games.
So I'm not sure if I'll get Homeworld 3, but I'll certainly consider it.
