>>284618262
I just started to pre-load mine, if you dont have the option try restarting steam
>>284618262

>mfw watching the launch trailer
Holy shit what the fuck was Gearbox thinking

>>284618527
i haven't bought it yet but I plan to. how big is the download itself?
>>284619637
Game's 20GB so i'd say about 15-18GB.
>>284620267
>>284620963
damn, thats pretty well compressed. thanks for the info man
>>284620963
Proof that Homeworld was remastered by the creators. If it was gearbox that shit would be 28 gigs
>>284618262
>buying old games
Are you kidding? It only deserves to be pirated.
>>284621580
le epik trole :)
Just got a bunch of emails from gear box with a steam code for this. Literally no idea why. But whatever, preloading it now.
Is this going to be another Gearbox catastrophe?
>>284622349
Apparently the opposite, but it's mainly just a revamp of graphics. Much better than just an HD upscale.
>Borderlands references
>>284619408
Fuck that shit trailer - check out this one instead

Should I buy this or xenoverse?
>>284623237
>Preordering an MMO

>>284622465
They revamped many things, not just the visuals.
Whatever happened to Shipbreakers? Is it still going to happen?

>Are you excited for Homeworld Remastered Collection? Launch is only a day away, and we still have plenty of cool new features left to tell you about.
>Throughout development, we’ve been working with the original creators of Homeworld to make sure it’s been remastered with the love and care it deserves. Once we launch, we’re excited to be joined by another collaborator: you! Homeworld Remastered Collection will offer tools for the community and will support mods, allowing for some incredible opportunities for you guys to create cool stuff.
>At launch, we’ll have a Steam Workshop tool available that will allow you to upload and download mods, and based on your feedback, we’ll be adding more functionality post-release. Classic mods can also be uploaded, so your original Homeworld 2 Classic mods can be uploaded to the Steam Workshop!
>We’ll have a guide on Mod Tools available on Steam after launch, so stay tuned for more details!
Hype.
>>284624396
I assume so, just now word on it...

I have work tomorrow, so much work, I need sleep, but I want to play

TB's thoughts on the game, shows some of the stuff they added and did with the game.
>>284624396
It might depend on Homeworld Remastered's sales.
Personally, Shipbreakers looks boring to me. Little distinguishes it from any other RTS.
day0 pirate
Can we recolour our ships in the actual story game?
>>284624396
I heard they are gonna start releasing info some time after remastered is out.
I'm getting a dune vibe from the gameplay of shipbreakers.
>>284625268
Probably not for HW2's but most likely yes for HW1's campaign.
>>284625130

Hitting the phones all day tomorrow. At least the corporate world lets me out at 430. Planning on walking on in 0-degree weather for this one
>Post your face when Gearbox will never work to re-acquire the rights to Cataclysm from the corporate mess that swallowed Barking Mad studios into Activision/Rockstar
>Post your face when the source code will never be found, making a ground up remake all but impossible
[email protected]
I want a key..please. ;_;
>>284625268
You can, I think on the gameplay where the devs talk about homeworld had a yellow mothership on the first mission.
not sure about hw2 though, probably the sky blue color still.
>>284623109
Where?
>>284625959
Go home.
>>284626171
Nowhere, just another shitposter.
Why haven't I heard Agnus dei yet in any videos? It better be fucking there.
>>284625931
Do you think they're just bullshitting that "lost the source code" thing?
The devs weren't really fans of cataclysm from what I heard.
>>284626171
In the comms chatter in mission 2.
Claptrap can be distinctly heard.
>>284625931
>People are angry that Gearbox won't remaster Cataclysm
>People don't want Gearbox to remake Cataclysm.
>>284625959
Are you that poor?
>>284626304
Just watched the first of Manley's video.
It's in there, alright.
>>284626424
Thank fuck
I hope Cataclysm gets added (even if it ends up being DLC) just for the fact that the Somtaaw would rip everyone else a fresh new asshole in multiplayer
>vaygr fleet goes into Somtaaw zone
>expects docile miners
>instead finds the most batshit insane kiith in hiigaran history, armed with shapeshifting suicide ships, RAMMING SPEED and a WMD mounted on their mothership
>>284626424
>>Are you that poor?YesI'm sorry.
>>284626601
>Somtaaw and Beast are added to the multiplayer roster
>We have now 6 races
Would be a bitch to balance but holy fuck it would be glorious.
>>284626361
>>People don't want Gearbox to remake Cataclysm.
What are you talking about?
>>284626701
You better be sorry.Sent ;)
>>284626701
Ill play enough for both of us.
I hope someone revives the Gundam mod. Played the shit out of that mod.
Sad thing about this is you can't get that novel thick manual with the game like hw1 and cataclysm. Apparantly they made enough fluff content for a hw2 manual but it didn't get made for some stupid reason. Actually this makes me think, when's the last time you got a game that came with a manual? Guess it was either before games startes to get really casual or when tutorials became more useful.
>>284626760
>The beast can corrupt all ships from all races
Oh fuck.
Also I hope the Turanic Raiders get a look in somewhere.
>>284619408
>it's fucking real
Thought it was fanmade at first. Absolutely horrible
>>284626912
>Pick up Wonderful 101
>Surely Platinum must indulge in manuals, still, right?
Nope
>>284626968
I bet a girl made it honestly.
>>284626601
>>284626760
cataclysm sourcecode is gone.
the only hope is that some serious modders basically re-create the assets in the remastered collection, because we will never see an official re-release.
Nothing but gravel out here
>>284626912
Oh I think I remember. Because hw2 just came in a DVD box one of those manuals wouldn't fit so they didn't bother or they designed it but it got Shit canned.
SAIL
>>284627109
Blackbird and gearbox have said that they are looking into either finding the source code or just rebuilding the game from scratch.
Yfw the bsg modders have already said they're going to do a port?
>>284626968
Well, it would'nt be Gearbox if they didnt fuck up SOMETHING.
I cant wait to see the Turanic Raiders and there kick ass music.
www.youtube.com/watch?v=dTKakINXjl8
>>284627714
Thats one, im sure the complex guys are going to do it too since Gearbox actually asked them for their help, hope we get more.
I got burned preordering AoE 2 HD. Convince me why this won't be exactly the same?
>>284627714
>tfw TFS is coming to remastered
swiggity swooty, getting this, reassembly and city skylines
>>284627994
Because you enjoy homeworld and want to play multiplayer again?
Can you still steal the shit out of everyone?
That is the best part of Homeworld.
>>284619408
This fucking trailer makes me want to unbuy the game.
Imagine if someone ported PDS.
More guns on one ship than in the entirety of the vanilla fleets was always a laugh.
Is it going to run by HW 2 rules, with frigates as anti fighters? We cannot go back to our old sphere of ion cannon destroying everyone past?
Does anyone know if we're getting an increase to the size of the custom badges? Does anyone know what size if so?
>>284628148
AoE2 HD had a shit ton of input lag for multiplayer in the beginning. How will Homeworld's multiplayer not be exactly the same, especially since it's made by Gearbox?
>>284628162
Well, at the very least, if you can't, the original games are included as well if you need your fix of salvage corvette action.
They seem to have kept the differences between the races in each games intact, like how you control individual fighters if You're using Kushan/Taiidan, and formations if you use Hiigaran/Vaegyr, so salvage fun might still be possible.
>>284628380
Nah m8, HW1 HD plays by HW1 rules and vice versa
It even carries into multiplayer
>>284627714
Tfw FX:C modders were contacted to mod the other races too.
>>284628380
IIRC both game's gameplay are available.
>>284628559
>>284628605
That is music to my ear.
I am sold. Thanks anons!
>Compare original to remaster of HW1 Launch
It's lost some of that background radio chatter
>>284628031
>mfw spamming strategic bombers in HD
I wish playing Kudeshian was available.
>>284621841
did you go to the community event? because everyone who did got a free copy but apparently gearbox had some hiccup or something because they sent me three keys and I already used one.
>>284623130
ELIAAAAAAAS
>>284628913
Background radio chatter is a setting in the game. You can increase/decrease it.
>>284626912
You can still read the manuals online, someone also uploaded it in moddb.
hey gearbox, how much money could i make shilling for you on /v/?

I fucking love this site, mostly the HW1 and Cataclysm stuff. Though the HW2 ship data is really cut down, no manual fluff, just speculation and dev quotes.

Talking about the opening cinematic, the remake is....quieter

>mfw Beast Sajuuk
>>284628530
Because people have tested it and are attesting to it. See TB's video.
>>284629797
Is it the same voice actor?
The opening cinematics now feature the Base Runners from Hardware / Shipbreakers. Interesting!
>>284630045
>now feature

>>284629161
It's fucking Homeworld m8. Anon's here have had a hard-on for the series for years now.
>>284629415
How dare people want to enjoy the Golden Age of Relic. HOW DARE THEM.
>>284630014
The VA's are the same as they were years ago, Gearbox cleaned up the static and audio pop, doing so, they also brushed out a lot of smaller ambient things.

yeah dude i love homeworld too, i still have my copy of 2 with the cd key and everything. but this is gearbox so i know at least 2 people are in this thread from them, so i just wanted to know if they were hiring is all
>>284630347
I hope they keep the mothership launching scene from HW1. It was one of my favorites.
>>284630427
so funny ayyy lmao :)
>>284630427
Hey thats sounds like a good idea, make games people will like so people will talk about them
>>284630534
That's what I mean, visually, it's stunning, audio wise, it's been changed somewhat
>>284630427
We have no interest in employing shitposters who frequent mongolian cooking forums
>>284630828
dang. guess i'll have to try again some other time
>>284630427
Yeah they're a shit company but at least this will have mod support if it all goes sour, and it seems that a lot of the old modding teams are already working on ports.
How can I get the physical collectors edition if I'm outside the U.S?
scott hullomanly is gonna get rekt by difficulty :^)
>>284619408

There are two DLCs that haven't been installed if you look in your library. The download seems to be the engine itself or something?
>>284619408
>that fucking terrible song
Do people actually listen to this?
>>284633229
i think those are the originals, whereas the base download seems to be the remastered versions
>>284633568
>he's not down the kidz
>>284633568
What's good music to you?
>>284633229
>The download seems to be the engine itself or something?
I'm guessing it's something like that, so I'd expect to have another download tomorrow for the rest. And the DLCs are the ports of the original games (that I wish we could fucking play tonight)
>>284633717
Not him but faux-electronic is equally irritating to me
Ahem, I mean "How do you do, fellow kids?"
>>284633636
>>284633717
I think it's a bad choice in the same way using Linkin Park or Mad World in a trailer.
>>284633717
I ain't gonna derail the thread but honestly that was a terrible choice for the trailer.
>>284634031
>he's not home with the downies
Getta loada this goy.
>>284633717
It's just proof that they're marketing an incredible game from 15 years ago to faggots like you who will probably scoff and whine when adiago for strings comes on
>>284634286
>tfw we'll never get a good Stronghold game again
>>284634031
>>284634190
I think it was a bad choice for the trailer, however I don't think that song is bad music.
Purely my opinion.
>>284634005
>faux-electronic is equally irritating to me
I usually agree, but Awolnation is better than most of it. A couple of his other songs are actually ok
>>284634286
I'm assuming this a troll post, but I will say that adiago for strings is fucking great, and the version in this game is the best I've ever heard.
I think it's fine to enjoy Awolnation - Sail and still enjoy "Sophisticated" music.
>>284625959
You know... the homeworld games are so nice, and I want as many people playing them as possible, that if I had the money, then I would seriously gift you it. Good luck.

Why?
does this mean you can play as a HW1 race against a HW2 race?
>>284624396
Shipbreakers is being done by the original homeworld team.
The guy who wrote the script/plot/story for it wanted to do it as a prequel to Homeworld, except without the Homeworld bits, since they didn't have the IP.
When they started to crowdfund the project (Originally going to be F2P) they caught attention from Gearbox (Who had just acquired the Homeworld IP) because their art and design looked so similar to Homeworld.
Gearbox asked them if they'd be interested in porting their game over to the Homeworld universe, they agreed. (and little did gearbox know, the game was already based on the homeworld universe anyways, so hardly anything needed changing)
Once they were hired on, gearbox also got them to help out with the Homeworld 1, 2 remastering; they got in touch with old friends, voice actors, etc. and got higher quality original audio, original sketches and storyboards, new audio, etc.
Now the game is going to be a standard release, rather than F2P, and is presently still in development by the original homeworld team.
