i can't post here either. (using windows 8.1 ie 11 and firefox 35.0.1 - also tried on windows serer 2012 r2 and firefox 35.0.1

I need my homeworld posting release!! :) haha

new video today (also changed the Homeworld Remastered Collection - Cinematics Trailer a few posts up to a 4k version)

I hope some of the GB team are going to look into this - for a quick look or something. no database entry for this.. no videos.. not in "Top Releases" this week. It makes me sad :(

Gim Frandango was talked to death and that was just a small tweak.(and it came out a year before homeworld so both are "old" - homeworld a lot more impressive clean up (and a far better game imo). Homeworld has a big impact on my when i frist played in in 1999. Gim was ok. It kinda is just impressive because it was one of the last of that type of game.)

hopefully vinny will play it :) (but that is my wish for all content.. more vinny in always a win)

I hope there is a pre-load. It is over 20gigs.

gearbox normally scares me too. But they aren't doing a new vision for the game. They used a bunch of the old assets and old tools. (and work closely with the people that made the first one. watch the 37min video.. really good.) and are just updating the game with new textures, hud, higher sampled audio etc.

in part of the video was the lead guy that made the first two (and is working on this) said he didn't want to star wars it - ie, no jar jar.

My main fear is taking some of the balancing they had in hw2 and bring it to hw1 (make the enemy matching the number of ships you started with... makes it pointless to build a huge fleet then..)

maybe a bug or two too.. but that is the same with any games.

If this was a remake (like syndicate) or finishing a shit game.. duke or aliens.. then i'd hella run for the hills if gearbox made it.

homeworld 3 by this team would scare me. That should made by the "real" team.. ie, blackbird. They are the original homeworld team working on homeworld: daybreakers.

@capum15: (boo your private profile on steam! :) ) every try mods for sins? RPS had something today about it: http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2015/02/21/enjoy-skiffy-mash-ups-via-sins-of-a-solar-empire-mods/

I was thinking of trying http://www.moddb.com/mods/halo-sins-of-the-prophets/news/sins-of-the-prophets-update-021615 to get my space rts shooty shooty fix till homeworld.

<-- that beam will light up the battlefield. :) (they added beam shots as light sources)

There are options to lock you view on a single unit (eye icon.. middle mouse button).. if i recall you can also POV a unit too. I'd always like following a enemy fighter far off and watch it catch sight of my ships (and die).

I wonder what they did with formations. I used them a lot in the old game.

My fav unit from the first game where those mini egg looking bleam ships. Kadesh Multi-Beam Frigates (4 icon cannons!). They will be even more cool with the lighting. Note! you can only hi-hack those units. so in mission 7 (or 8) when you mean kadesh... hella steal a ton of them :)

Taiidan ion cannon is cool too.. but steal from them their cool missile destroyer :) (Kushan (what you play) units are.. ok looking.. )

i want this sooo bad.

homeworld 2 remastered mission 1 and 2 (with lame user talking over)

Homeworld Remastered Collection - Cinematics Trailer:

The old ones still kinda worked. you just have to break out massive AA/AF to clear the jaggies. The interface took up like a HUGE part of the screen. From the pax video they said the HUD was static and made for 640x480 or something crazy :)

I LOVED homeworld 1 and cata.. but never finished 2. One of the best things in both of those games is stealing enemy units and bringing them with you to the next mission. In homeworld 2 they always had the enemy fleet in a new zone match your numbers - so it was always better to scrap your ships before going to the next mission to have resources and the enemy have few ships. which was lame. There must have been other reasons i didn't like 2 either, but i can't recall.

I do recall playing cata a bunch of time :)

i'm REALLY happy too that they know 4k is out there and planned for it. I'll throw up a 4k video of it when it is out. :)

I'm super pumped out this.. odd that there are no post here about it. Homeworld is one of fav games of all time and this is a proper remastering of it. This isn't just a tweak of the old one to run on modern OS/hardware/resolutions. They went back to the original art, audio, etc and redid it all (but keeping gameplay the same). The new games is over 20gigs! (the original fit on a CD). Also with 4k min mind too! (hopefully sli works!)

gearbox bought the rights for homeworld when THQ went under.

The remastered version will have homeworld 1 and homeworld 2 (cataclysm was done by a different group and wasn't part of the sale).

Argh! i can't wait till it is out - 3 more days!. (it is on sale on steam now - 15% off).

They multiplayer isn't "done" yet and there will be a beta of it when the game launches. It has all the factions from both games in it. Anyone up for trying a few comp stomp matches or something (after i finish playing thru both games first!)

Story Trailer:

37 min from pax:

ramdom video of cataclysm i made a year or two ago (while it isn't part of the remaster.. a shame as it was my fav one.. you can see the grafix upgrade)

http://youtu.be/Gn_kWkVvhy8?t=3m55s <-- this sequence always stuck with me for some reason.

Running fine here on the PC.. but meh. Just another bad DLC for a saints row game. That said, if you didn't finish IV on the 360 then get it on the ps4. fun :) (not as fun as 3.. but still fun)

here is it running on the PC (gat out of hell)... ugh.. what a poor color pallet choice.
