Homeworld & Homeworld 2 HD remakes in the works

Looks like they've worked hard to bring the original up-to-date rather than trying to re-imagine it and make potentially unwanted changes or 'improvements' in the process.
 
Having been a massive fan of the originals and seeing this pop up on Steam yesterday.
Do I take a punt on the Collector's Edition from Amazon.....?
£99 is a lot but this and Freespace series is what epitomise PC gaming for me

Watched the game play, pre-ordered :D

Now to order my beast of a new desk and chair, plus a new mouse and mouse mat!!
All was getting ordered anyway, but now that it happens to coincide with the release of HW:R I'm excited!!!
 
I really hope they redo Cataclysm at some point. That was my favourite of the Homeworld series. So glad that this is coming out soon though. No space strategy game has ever come close to this since. I'll be ordering this at the weekend. Something to look forward to. :D
 
Oh man I forgot about this. £22 seems a lot though for high res versions of games I already own though : /. Will wait till it is more like a tenner.

Honestly £22 is a more than fair price, just look at some vids to see the job they've done. All new textures, remixed music from original masters and redone voice acting.. Plus support for up to 4k (with a scaling ui), new MP component (beta)..
It is remastered, that's not the same as hi res version we've been getting lately.

I'm hoping this does really well and spring boards HW3!

I've ordered collectors edition, which is pricey, but £22 is great value.

It really isn't. These are games that were already made, really old games. £22 is what I expect to pay for a brand new game that I don't already own, on release.

I would love to see Homeworld 3 and I hope the sales help towards that, but I am not paying £22 for this.

It is a shame there isn't a discount for owners of the originals to be honest.

It really is. There are many people that will be playing these games for the first time, so £22 for two remastered classics that you've never played before? Hell yeah. Besides, what things are 'worth' is subjective. Some people will spend £1000 on a Moroccan carpet, others on a new PC, and both groups will laugh at each other. For me £22 on two games that I KNOW I'm going to love playing, albeit essentially for the second time around, is a good deal. I don't have to worry about the hype and whether I'm being taken for a ride.
