Who else is hype?
>>284568291
Let's talk about Taiidanii war crimes!
I'll consider getting hype if someone answers some questions:
1. Is the remaster simply a fresh coat of paint?
2. Will there be multiplayer?
3. If yes to multiplayer, will the community be HUEG?
>>284568543
basically
yes
maybe

>>284570386
Pirating faglord
>>284568543
>. Is the remaster simply a fresh coat of paint?
Essentially yes, but they've put a lot more work than usual remasters. Rehired the VAs to redo the lines, higher quality sound, higher fidelity models, textures etc etc. And redone cutscenes.
>2. Will there be multiplayer?
Yes.
>3. If yes to multiplayer, will the community be HUEG?
Probably not, to be honest. Homeworld was never a hugely selling franchise.
>>284571202
Wasn't the remaster in top sellers on steam? It might have a pretty decently sized community.
>>284568543
>1. Is the remaster simply a fresh coat of paint?
No, it's waaay bigger than that. They've converted the first game to work on the sequels engine, and have redone every mission and cutscene.
I hope they let you preload it or this is going to be a fuck of a wait.
>>284571286
I'm not really convinced the top sellers list isn't rigged anyway, but if it isn't I think most players are buying it for the campaign. The MP is difficult to get into when you don't know the gun coverage of capital ships and you get fucked by swarms of ion frigates used by pros who know how to utilize 3D movement
looks slick
might even buy if it turns out to be good
>giving money to gearbox
Neo /v/ everyone.
>>284571286
>>284571428
It will most likely get a bigger community now that it is available in a digital form.
>I'm not really convinced the top sellers list isn't rigged anyway
I don't see why or how the top sellers would be rigged. I doubt that the Banished dev is able to bribe Valve to put his game on the list. I mean, seriously.
>>284568291
>no Cataclysm
shit remaster
Is there a complete version of the remastered intro?
Need to show it to a friend.
>>284571985
nope
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JH8ETGPXBO4
This is out tomorrow, right?
Most importantly, will Complex work in the remastered version?
>>284570386
well, good luck trusting shitbox. let's see who laughs last.
>>284568291
How much would it suck if your crew quarters were on port side and your duty station was on starboard? Seems like a pretty shitty way to design a ship unless you micromanaged crew assignments to ensure no one would ever have to leave their assigned side.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2nBfqNirDNY
I'm pretty excited for this but this trailer is horrible.
>>284572806
Not on release, but I'm sure they'll update it, they've been working with the complex people to make sure the mod tools for remastered are even more powerful and open.
I wish it were out today like it was supposed to be, or at least would get unlocked at midnight. Pre-ordered weeks ago and just want to play already
>>284573176
All the OST they could have used, and they pick that
Cant fucking wait. Best RTS games ive ever played and some of the best, most intense multiplayer games you can play.

>>284574759

The cons would be that the game is very slow-paced at times, but this might be fixed in the remaster.

I've never gotten a chance to play Homeworld but have heard tons of good about it. Considering getting the Remaster. Anything I need to know beforehand or can I just start playing?
>>284579905
What exactly do you think you need to know? It's a game, just play it.
i just got an email for my free copy from going to the gearbox community day event in 2013. strange thing is that gearbox seemed to have goofed and they sent me 4 of the same email with the first 2 including steam keys(i already just used the first one). so yeah, I don't really know what to do with second code for now.
>>284571202
I'm actually mad about the new voice acting. Maybe it could be better but IMO the voice acting/ship radio chatter was 10/10
>>284579905
Not really.
Except maybe the rubber band difficulty which was in the original game - I dunno if that's in the Remaster as well.
Basically, if you do good on missions the game will ramp up the difficulty accordingly.
Some people have avocated scrapping most of your fleet (except for salvage ships and ion frigates, I think) at the end of each mission so the game will think you're underpowered and won't fuck you as hard as the game progresses.

>>284571392
Also, it looks like both got better UI and functionality for both. Both games cameras were absolute shit, jittery and gross. Also, Homeworld was locked in 4:3 and didn't have much of the functionality of Homeworld 2.
>>284575796
>very revolutionary when it was released
The gameplay system remains unimitated & therefore revolutionary.
>>284581167
Star Ruler had 3d space combat if I remember right.
How does the multiplayer work? Is it stupid long like Sins of a solar empire? If I make a thread on /v/ tommorow saying "GET IN HERE FAGGOTS GAME LOBBY: VIDYA PASS: RAGE" can we have a fuckin' party? This is determining my purchase decision.
>>284572850

>>284568543
>2. Will there be multiplayer?
i read that multiplayer is being released as a beta, and only for one of the games
>>284581337
It's an RTS game, multiplayer matches can be anywhere between zerg rush short and scud missile long.
>>284581337
It's faster, much faster, i play complex (a mod with tons of content) with relax, to build the biggest capital ship, 1-2 hours, but a normal play it's faster. Somewhere between starcraft and SupCom
>>284581635
It's a combination of all the games. You can play as the Homeworld 1 and 2 factions in it.
>>284581559
Dunno about Project Earth but I don't recall Haegemonia having the same sensor mode & vertical movement.
>>284581337
>How does multiplayer work
Pretty much like your normal RTS, build resource collectors, research shit, ect ect. No where near as long as sins but depending on game settings a match could last an hour or two.
>>284581397
DAE hate everything new!? No good games past 200x! Look at me be edgy and have a warranted opinion! Ayy lmao.
Is there a specific hour of release or countdown timer? please?
Never played Homeworld before, rest assured i have heard great things about it. What am i in for if i love the shit out of sci fi games?
>>284581809
I have honestly not played any of them, i just remember them being compared to Homeworld in reviews.
>>284581867

Didn't this game have a great soundtrack?
>>284581809
>but I don't recall Haegemonia having the same sensor mode & vertical movement.
It's really really similar, just not full out 3D
Never played Homeworld before but heard a lot of good things about it. Feeling pretty hype.
Hope the multiplayer will be at least somewhat active.

>>284582063
Homeworld 1 was active on GameRanger last year. I'm sure the remaster will be pretty big.Did anyone else pre-order?
>>284581635
Yeah what this guy said
>>284581725
The beta is basically for making the HW1 and the HW2 factions balanced. Since the HW1 Kushan need to build like a research ship and can only build one ship at a time but their mother ship can build two different ships at the same time, like you can build a destroyer and still pump out frigates.
>>284582170
Okay so it was what I'd heard
Homeworld was basically my favourite game but I'm not pre-ordering anything from Gearbox
>>284582170
NOTHING CAN TAKE US FAR

>>284581929
>What am i in for if i love the shit out of sci fi games?
Oh nigga, if you love big beautiful space battles you're gonna love this. beam fire glittering, debris floating around, fighters streaking past leaving trails of light - it's great.

How much is this single- and how much multiplayer? Like is the campaign the main focus and then people play multiplayer like Warcrafts or is it more mp focused like Starcraft?
>>284582063
It's a great game, and a franchise that deserves this kind of attention the devs have been given it.
>>284581974
It's very atmospheric, but I can't really remember any of them aside from Adagio, and that was used in the first game only.
>>284582245
I'm thinking of it. I used to have both games on CD, but H1 broke many years ago, and I'm not sure if the H2 CD even works.
>>284582310
Have Kadesh and Turanic been confirmed as playable, or are they still campaign only?
>games industry is so shit that the only good games being released are golden age refurbishments
>>284582382
>The story is nothing to sneeze at, too
Seriously this, when the game comes out pretty sure most people will do campaign before multi player.
>>284582487
Singleplayer definately, the campaign is nothing to scoff at.
Multiplayer was always small, but it had a dedicated community.
>>284579905
You could start by reading the manual.

>>284582487
Since it's an old-school RTS the single player was and still is the main focus.
However, with the Remaster they're straight up porting in the 10+ years of mods and multiplayer balance tweaking, so I'm expecting the MP to be more than solid.
>>284582517

Rubber banding was only in the second game as far as I know.
Either that, or going crazy with salvage corvettes doesn't count towards enemy strength increase in later levels.

Fuckin hell
>>284581087
>>People actually believe the bullshit that it can't be made because the source files are missing.
It's not about source files, it's about who made the games and had the rights to them. Cataclysm was the only Homeworld game that wasn't made by Relic, so when Gearbox bought Homeworld they didn't get the rights to release Cataclysm.
Same reason why a decent number of older games you can get on Steam or GOG also don't have expansions, because they weren't made by the same team as the original games (Dungeon Siege 1 and 2 come to mind first)
>>284582959
0/10
>>284583283
It's in both games but it was retarded in the second.

The best part of Homeworld imo is watching it play out. Give formation & attack orders, then use the great camera controls to watch the fight as you like, while quickly zooming out to get a better view of the battle & making more orders or manoeuver changes.
Eye candy to the max.
>>284584137
SW: Empire at War tried, It was fun but it was nowhere near HW1-2 good. But the remastered is making my space boner rock hard.

>>284583168

Yeah the first mothership was cooler then the second mothership. Still, we didn't really get a choice.
Sys reqs says it require open gl 3.3 that came out in 2010. This is in all newer drivers then?
Asking because I am retarded...
>>284585168
One conciousness per ship, yeah.
>>284585256
Yes it can, and it will in Remastered. But you will be playing with flies if you stick with the original, with GameSpy being dead and all. Not to mention that the entire modding community is moving to the remasters as well.
>>284585576
I swear that the smaller Bentusi ships (e.g. Cataclysm) were automated?
>>284585256
The thing that allowed people to play multiplayer IS GONE, they had to rebuild the multiplayer from the ground up you fuck. Gamespy is DEAD
>>284585367
One of the biggest selling points of Homeworld is the eye candy and the atmosphere you moron (>>284584510 described it perfectly)
, and having giant black bars on the side or stretching the image ruins it.
Otherwise I'd just continue playing Master of Orion and Space Empires.
>>284584478
Agreed. Don't drag Homeworld down to the level of /v/irgin memegames.
>>284583896
>Also what other multiplayer space rts are coming out?
A few:

>>284568291
TB's impressions are out, and they are extremely positive. Judging from the footage, especially the option settings and the new U.I., I'm very happy. I'm gonna wait for a few more in-depth reviews, but so far it seems like they actually did a good job with it.
>>284568543
>1. Is the remaster simply a fresh coat of paint?
No, especially regarding the first game. There are extensive changes to the U.I., A.I. and control scheme: all as far as I can tell are improvements.
As for the new coat: well, it's basically redrawn all together. The graphics overhaul is not only extensive, but also tastefully done and seems to genuinely improve the game.
>2. Will there be multiplayer?
Already is, but it's in beta. They pretty much overhauled the multiplayer, allowing fractions from both first and second game to fight against each other, which is cool, but is going to be a bitch to balance.
>3. If yes to multiplayer, will the community be HUEG?
Multiplayer for Homeworld used to be very lively. But it's too soon to see if people will migrate to HW:R.
Additional good news is that there should be extensive mod support (larger and more active than for original Homeworld games, including even campaign-creation tools).
>>284584687
I was gonna get it but I changed my mind. If it was HW1 mothership then definitely would have got it, but either way they're not exactly classy statuettes that you can put in your living room.
Still awesome though.
guys. is there any rule 34 on the mothership?pls respond
>>284586127
Everything about space RTS is a Homeworld ripoff.
>>284585085
>Tomorrow, I think
It's already the 25th here.
>mfw there are probably no oztrayans that like good games like HW
I have none.
>>284585762
You mean like fighters? Sure, maybe.
The trade ships (horseshoes) weren't, though.
>>284586127
Only shallow space looks somewhat promising but thats just my opinion. But in the end it really depends on the games ability to be modded, since HW:Remastered has really strong mod support and a lot of people in the modding community loved to mod Homeworld, its still leaps and bounds ahead of the other stuff.

Not a very classy trailer, not worthy of Homeworld. They should have remastered the original trailer as well.

>Suggestive Themes
as in Karan's silhouette? Are ESRB sexualizing muh Fleet Command? I swear if gamers ever resort to terrorism ESRB need to be the first up in flames.
TB's video showed the Kuushan frigates dieing like faggots to the vagyr destroyer, think we're in for a game with twice as many homeworld 2 paper frigates.

Didn't they pull her out of the mainframe in the end?
>>284587268
>Suggestive Themes
By that the ESRB means all forms of provocative content.Probably genocide in this particular case.Sexual themes/content are separate labels.
>>284587268
>Not a very classy trailer
Well that is an understatement if I ever saw one.
That said, the other trailers did look decent. I suspect that this particular one was created in order to attract some of the young current day twitchy retard Gearbox fan base on top of the original Homeworld fans.
Which really does not insult me that much.
The one thing I'm worried about is the inevitable reviews of this game by the modern-generation journos who never played original Homeworld in the first place. Because those are going to hurt.

What
I always thought suggestive themes was like Sexual themes's baby brother or something. I don't ever recall games that involved genocide but had no women in them ever being called "suggestive".
afaik they used the word "suggestive" in reference to the sexual definition. They're not smart enough to think about ideas at esrb.
>>284587842
>inevitable reviews of this game by the modern-generation journos
Let us hold each other brother. We are learned in the ways of today's faggots & we are stronger. We will not care about what they think, good or bad. To us, all that matters is our return to Hiigara.
Is Sins of a Solar Empire: Rebellion completely dead? Maybe I can learn and play it during the wait period.

http://www.esrb.org/ratings/ratings_guide.jsp
>>284588451
Not really the same game anyway so it wouldn't really help, but no, it's not dead. Even then there's still playing against the computer
>>284588451
sins would be a good game to play a single player campaign in until HW comes out,if only so that you can cry at how godlike HW is compared to sins shit.
Seriously, I didn't like sins, it's premise & gameplay was never meant to be like HW which I'm alright with, but they just seemed to disregard any good ideas HW could have given it & executed a weak game. Hardly any gameplay.
>>284588201
>Because I have bills to pay.
I didn't ask why you're begging. I couldn't care less, don't fucking beg like you're the only one with money problems you cunt
>>284588882
so if I liked sins, I'll like homeworld?
Shipgirls mod when?
>>284588681
>>284588882
Yeah, I'm aware that they're totally different. It's just that I haven't played HW in eight years and I'm starving for a new space strategy game.
>>284588392
To be completely honest, it was original Homeworld review that first caused me a cultural shock and first disillusion about western gaming journalism.
I remember it quite vividly. I grew up in Czech republic and read a lot of game local game magazines. In retrospect, I can seriously say that the gaming press was really good here, but at the time it felt like it's just a standard - I had no frame of reference. I remember the Homeworld reviews in both largest mags at the time: both were overwhelmingly positive, detailing about the story, the charm, the challenge, the music, the love for classic sci-fi etc...
At the same time, my father traveled to UK for a business trip, and bought some games (which were much cheaper there), getting some complimentary PC game mags with them, and I got to read the UK PC gamer review of the game...
It was TERRIBLE. FILLED with shit about how the game is confusing, how they don't get the strategy of the game, and how the music was shit.
Entire segment of the review was dedicated how he hates Yes because it's a weird band. Not a single mention of things like the story, or art direction, or voice acting: all the remarks on gameplay were insanely shallow and pretty much talking about how he did not understand how to play it.
I remember being completely SHOCKED at how poorly written was the review. Nobody would write anything like that back in my country.
I always remember this when people are complaining about how bad gaming journalism is today, realizing that this is in no way a new thing.
By the way I think it was the same volume where they also blasted the fuck out of original X game.
>>284589435
I dunno, how much do the Japs like Homeworld?
If there's gonna be anthropomorphised ships it's gonna come from the Nips, probably.
>>284589416
Hard to say, they're very different games. If you like space, you'll probably like Homeworld.
If you liked the conquering & planet development aspect of sins, don't expect that in HW. If you liked the combat in sins, which is what I consider its failing point, you will go nuts with HW.
Always heard good things about Homeworld but never tried it because I'm not really into RTS. The only ones I played are WC3 and SC.
Should I give it a try ?
>>284589546
afaik japs hardly play pc games, let alone rts's. so never.
>>284588545
I seriously can't find an example of a game where Suggestive Themes means anything besides non-explicit sexual themes. Plus all discussions regarding this rating seem to suggest what I'm saying. I suggest you take a good look before you suggest otherwise.
torrent when?
>>284589904
If there's a must-play list of RTS-es Homeworld is bound to be on it.
You could at least give it a try as the story is amazing.
>>284583073
>>284589516
>By the way I think it was the same volume where they also blasted the fuck out of original X game.
Well X Beyond the Frontier wasn't anything special, you were stuck to one ship and the trading and economy were extremely broken and abusable.
>>284588354
the art in the cut scenes actually looks worse
that buggy looks like shit, so does the ship in the desert.
>>284589904
you could honestly probably find some kind of torrent/crack for homeworld 2 and give that a try before you get the remastered. If you get it and like it just imagen how much youll enjoy the 4v4 multiplayer in remastered.
Let's just say I can't wait for the mods.
There isn't a game better suited for (re)creating your favorite sci-fi series's space battles then Homeworld.
>>284589905
>afaik japs hardly play pc games, let alone rts's. so never.
There's gotta be some small group of elite japanese versions of fedoras that only play old western PC games and shit on normalfags that play games for Nintendo and Sony consoles.
>>284589904
Pirate HW2. Download the widescreen fix. Download FX-Commander - pic related. Play through the campaign. If you like it and want to play HW1 buy the remaster as HW1 looks and feels shit compared to 2 and was in desperate need of an overhaul. The remaster is only good for multiplayer (and it's not a good competitive game, it's a casual RTS) and being able to enjoy HW1 without blurry textures, low-poly models and awful UI.
>>284590120
That was just like me when I first played this game all those years back.
I killed EVERYTHING that was of taiidan origin.
>>284590781
Agreed, I wanted them dead, man.
Talk about a game being effective at evoking an emotional response.
>>284590689
>and it's not a good competitive game, it's a casual RTS
this is probably true.
every relic rts has been fun concepts but never balanced
>>284581127
nigga I played homeworld in 16:9, you don't deserve to have a PC if you can't fiddle for shit.
>>284590781
I replayed it over and over till my prepubescent self managed to save every single cryo tray. I'd barely learned to use a mouse but I couldn't stand losing even a single one.Especially after learning that each one contained a hundred thousand of my people.
>>284590023day 1
God, does anyone remember that based-as-fuck Star Wars mod for HW2? The one where you could build Super Star Destroyers and shit that were visible from across the map?

>>284590689
>HW1 looks and feels shit compared to 2'
Maybe looks, but it is a much better game than 2 when not even counting the superior story.
>actual physical projectiles instead of hitscan, craft will try to dodge shots, allows creative tactics like using bombers against certain corvettes due to projectile speed etc
>instead of stupid damage multipliers certain craft are effective against other craft because of their movement speed, armor, dodging ability and accuracy
