Homeworld & Homeworld 2 HD remakes in the works

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's £11 per game (and you get the originals too), that's quite fair really. Clearly a lot of work has gone into these remasters so it's not just a simple case of writing them off as "really old games".

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

How are they supposed to do that? The originals have never appeared on Steam etc.

I think people assume this is just the original games with higher resolution support...it's not. Every single asset has been remade, not just textures, but models, animations. The cutscenes, music, audio have all been recut. The engine has been updated for modern hardware, a unified multiplayer platform has been created....and it's TWO games, plus the two originals, also updated to play nice on current systems.

22 quid for that is a steal. Certainly the best value deal in gaming so far this year.
 
Also it will be supported for along time by the devs. Also its got steam workshop so expect some cool mods like starwars,star trek battlestar galactica etc :)
 
I think £22 is great value and I hope so many more people get into and enjoy it. I just watched the opening to Homeworld 2 on YouTube. Does anyone know who the narrator is? The voice sounds familiar

I took a punt on the Collectors Edition, I just need to paint my room blue ready for the Mothership!
 
I have already completely forgotten my GTA V pre-order now. Homeworld FTW!

Never has a game gotten me so involved in such a unique way, these games are classics bordering on legendary!

If anyone hasn't played one of these games (hahaha) by god you MUST get this, if you have, then even more reasons to.

Pre-ordered, and like most of you here, I cannot cannot wait.

3 weeks, 6 days, 3 hours... Be strong, we must

I used to suuuck online! Anyone remember the WON?!

If I remember rightly, you could play with a pal against AI opponents. Fingers crossed for the same....

I remember WON! I was in the top 10 in the world on Homeworld 1 on cases ladder at points :D
 
Its nice to see the Homeworld fans starting to come out of the woodwork. OcUK has a teamspeak server, I think? Perhaps we should try to get a channel going for some multiplayer action when it releases. I'm happy playing against AI or other players, although I make no claims at being any good.
 
Will be pre-ordering this :) Loved this game as a kid, and remember watching my Dad play it too, it was always one of his favourite games and I have awesome memories watching/playing it together!

Looks like they've put a phenomenal amount of effort in to the remastering, top notch stuff.

I'd have some of that. I wasn't very good but thoroughly enjoyed it either way.
 
I'll happily jump in on some multiplayer games.
As above, I'm terrible, but I used to really enjoy it.

With a team speak server I'll probably pick up some pointers too. Bonus!!

Almost certainly going to play through both single player games before I get involved in the multiplayer side though...
