Homeworld & Homeworld 2 HD remakes in the works

So you won't be able to make those unique missile frigates run out of fuel so you can capture them in one of the first couple of missions? That's they only chance you get in the game to get them.

I thought it was only fighters and corvettes that had fuel, so the frigates should remain the same...?
 
I dont think support frigs will have a beam heal anymore as it was like the resource collectors beam and they couldnt get it to work in hw2 engine or somit so i think they either use a heal area thing or somit else or removed.

My biggest issue with things like fuel, and the other changes that appear to be known is not so much the negative effect they'll have on the game...

The fuel will certainly make a difference to how the game is played, but maybe it'll be a good thing??
However, it's a change to the game full stop, and I think we were all hoping to have as pure and unchanged version as possible.
Who knows what other changes there might be :/

They could potentially patch these things back in as options later if the community shows demand for it. Plus the original game will still be the same as it always was.
 
I was hoping for the "fast forward" thingy as that bridge of sighs level in HW1 takes ages to do waiting for those frigates to get to you to capture. The rest of the updates I can live with and as someone remarked, you've still got the original to play as the Taidan (though it won't look as purdy:p
The only issue that I can see is that theres no "harvest everything" button to use at the end of the level, means you've have to keep the level going somehow and harvest at the same time, could be awkward I reckon.

One good thing is that they brought in some of the guys from the Homeworld 2 Complex mod to help develop Homeworld Remastered. They're promising a new version of that mod will be available for Remastered, on release day. The mod team did a pretty amazing job with Homeworld 2 so I'm quite excited to see what they've come up with for Remastered.
 
Seriously can't wait 5 days, so impatient. I really regret not buying the collectors edition now :( want my ship model.

I really hope they remake Cataclysm even if they have to start from scratch, for me it was the best of the series. It would be a shame for it to die in history.
 
I reckon Cataclysm is super unlikely....

As much as I like the idea of the collectors edition, I've got zero use for a toy spaceship.
The game will do just fine, but you're dead right 5 days seems like a very long time!!!
 
Am I the only one here that thought the voice acting in cataclysm was terrible? I'm just ploughing my way through it again and, strewth, some of it is truly dire, especially that "old" sounding woman who does fleet command or whatever.
Good gameplay though and a great trip down memory lane, god I feel old:p
 
I've had to install Sins of a Solar Empire in an attempt to stop myself cracking-up under the pressure of anticipation. Its not the same, but if I zoom right in, and squint really hard...
 
Its up for preorder on Steam with a 15% discount at £22.94, that's the only price I've seen. For that you get both remastered versions, both original versions and access to the unified multiplayer beta.
 
Ah maaaan!! I got some new toys, including a new mouse and monitor with this in mind, but I just can't justify a new graphics card :mad:

I've got a 670 and will be playing at 1080. Really hope I can make it pretty!!

In the mean time, super jealous!! :p
