Homeworld & Homeworld 2 HD remakes in the works

After weeks of procrastinating, I just ordered a new desk, new chair, new mouse and mouse mat (sorry, they're called gaming surfaces these days huh?!) and some decent 2.0 speakers....

Can't say I ordered them for this release, but the fact that it all will coincide has got me double excited :D

Anyone heard anything about whether we'll be able to pre-load on steam?

Also, it's released on the 25th, is that midnight US time? If it is I can take the 25th off here and play all day. If however it's released at say mid day US time I might as well take the 26th off instead.....

I wouldn't usually take a day off for a game, but I've got annual leave to use up anyway and this is a great excuse to take some :D

Basically.... All signs are good for a faithful, high quality, remaster done by legit fans of the games.

Cataclysm, almost certainly never. Impossible because the source code is missing and only rumoured to exist elsewhere.

HW3? Very dependant on sales of the Collection, and also likely to be quite different to the first two.

Worth a read. Getting impatient.... :)

Was going to ask what that meant for Shipbreakers but I see your second link has a piece about that. :)

Would be great to see a Cataclysm remaster but I too don't think it's likely. Even if they're able to scrounge together some of the source code and assets they're likely to struggle to get it all together and even then, would it sell enough on its own at a later point to warrant the effort?

Shame, but I think we're super lucky to be getting these two as it is so it's hard to be disappointed!
