nobody else hyped for this?
>>324268402
guess NOT
>>324268402
60 euros too much for 13 mission campaign
I just want a new Homeworld game that is actually a Homeworld game. Not,
>It's like Homeworld!
>But on land!!!
>>324268893
> i want more of exactly the same thing
no wonder games are all so samey nowadays
i'm excited. I just hope there will some cool mechanics and gameplay.
>>324268402
I like the look of it, my only concern is performance, which has looked pretty choppy in the videos they've released.
>>324269081
Fuck. You. There's still no games like Homeworld, except Homeworld. And Homeworld 2 came out in fucking 2003. You know what there is a lot of? Land based RTS games.
This new Homeworld literally took the thing that set Homeworld's gameplay apart from the genre, and replaced it with basic ass RTS gameplay.
Fuck. You.
>asking if anyone else is hyped
>homeworld 0.png
>picture doesn't say what the game is
Nice job, dipshit.
>>324268402
I really want it to be good. Homeworld is my all time favorite RTS. I'm hyped, but I suppose I'm also very afraid. RTS has been pretty much all indie scene these days and none of it has been very good.
>>324270731
>there are literally no other space rts games
literally what
I'm hype, just hope they put a speed slider in-game. The worst thing about HW1/2 was to wait for the sip to go from point A to B
>>324271905
Name one that is similar in gameplay to Homeworld
>>324268402
Ey! Look! It's Ground control with some homeworld mechanics!
Wait... why it's called homewolrd again?
>>324271905
>there are literally no other space rts games THAT ARE WORTH PLAYING
fixed 4 U
>>324272451
>Name one that is similar in gameplay to Homeworld
homeworld 2, sins of solar empire, sword of the stars e.t.c...
>>324271905
But that's true. None like Homeworld. There's 4x games, but there has never been a space RTS like Homeworld.
>>324272581
Nexus is great though.
>>324272490
Well it does take place in yourhome world
>>324272747
>homeworld 2
Hurr durr.
>sins of solar empire
Not like Homeworld.
>sword of the stars
>RTS
>good
>e.t.c...
Nice try masking the fact that you don't have any more to list.
>>324272836
Nexus isn't really an RTS,but it's better than Homeworld.
>>324272939
>>homeworld 2
>Hurr durr.
how is homeworld 2 not like homeworld?
>>324272939
Sword of the stars is fantastic. But you're right, it's total war in space.
>>324273224
Because it is Homeworld. The initial argument was literally that there hasn't been a game like Homeworld since 2003, when Homeworld 2 came out.
>>324271905
Hegemonia
>tfw you will never have space battles like those in David Weber books
>you will never be a captain of space battlecruiser
>you will never be a admiral of space fleet
>>324273245
First was good, but the sequel is crap.
>>324273530
is complete shit
>>324273735
Well fuck
I got totally owned in opinion warfare
We arent allowed to be hype for pc games
>>324272747
Sins of a Solar Empire is fantastic, one of my favorite games of all time and according to me way better than Homeworld. But it's nothing like Homeworld.
>>324273878
>>324273491
>Because it is Homeworld
>homeworld 2 is homeworld
ok
>>324274621
You're a fucking retard, but that's okay.
>>324274925
>You're a fucking retard, but that's okay.
im not the one saying homeworld 2 is homeworld
>>324274925
thanks for the joost
I'm better off replaying the older titles than buy a 60$ game with almost no content
>>324275020
Uh huh. You are the one being autistic, and using Homeworld 2 as an example of games like Homeworld that have come out since 2003.
>>324275236
Almost no content? Please explain. The game isn't out yet.
>>324275665
13 missions.
It looks cool but it's probably going to have a focus on boring multiplayer and a tiny ass campaign.
>>324275554
that cat is adorable
>>324275790
but they could be really long missions, the multiplayer could be awesome
>>324273630
>you will never be a captain of space battlecruiser
The Starfleet Command series would like to have a word with you.
Not that most /v/tards are capable of playing a sim that complex but it's there.
>>324275554
>Homeworld 2 as an example of games like Homeworld that have come out since 2003.
yes, homeworld2 is like homeworld, and homeworld2 is not homeworld as you claim it to be
>im the one being retarded
>>324276230
>the multiplayer could be awesome
Fuck games who use multiplayer as an excuse for little content.
>>324275790
You'll have to be more specific. Homeworld has 16 missions, and most of them will last forever because the ships are so slow. Who knows about Deserts Of Kharak
>>324269081
>the defining characteristic of Homeworld. which is 3D gameplay, is removed
THIS is what games samey
>>324268402
I'm relatively excited but I'm going to wait a bit before buying, since you can never trust gearbox.
>>324276374
>He's still trying.
Homeworld 2 is still not a valid example of games like Homeworld to have come out since 2003. If you don't know why then you really are a moron.
And you're still autistic for not being able to recognize when people are talking about a series and not a single game.
You keep doing you though.
>>324276710
>kharak has a speed limit of only 20 km/h
>maps are bigger than in supreme commander
>you need to tank your units at gas stations
>units can only fire few times before they need to reload at ammunition station
Im just happy theres a good RTS coming out
>>324268402
Hype as fuck. Finishing my playthrough of the homeworlds now in prep for this.
Except cataclysm because fuck trying to get that to work. Watching an LP on youtube.
>>324276750
you can just return it on steam
>>324276931
>Homeworld 2 is still not a valid example of games like Homeworld to have come out since 2003
this sentence makes perfect sense anon
>>324277730
Yeah installing Cataclysm is like sooo hard like mounting an iso and opening an installer and like downloading a fix from pcgw I just can't do it. Steam ftw am I right? ;)
>release date announced just a month before release
>no gameplay showed prior to the announcment
>published by Gearbox
Yup, it's a cash grab
>>324280341
The game itself has been in development for some time by old relic members under the name of Hardware: Shipbreakers. They only got the homeworld license from gearbox later though to turn it into an actual homeworld prequel.
>>324278321
Maybe you should check the year Homeworld 2 cam out than.
Why is the Homeworld aesthetic so godamn pleasing.
Was really digging the 'painted' cinematics too.
>>324281664
I have Homeworld skyboxes as my wallpapers
Fucking 10/10 comfy
im looking forward to the types of mods people are going to make for it
>>324282067
can you be a real nice guy and share them with us?
Not interested in the game, just the soundtrack.
>>324282773
That's the only one I have set up for triple monitors but sure
>>324283102

>>324282773
Never liked the homeworld skyboxes. I always thought they were stupid as fuck. Thank god I won't see that shit in deserts of kharak. I'm not being sarcastic, I'm just stating my honest opinion disregarding your feelings.
>>324283639
colorfully artistic has always been Homeworlds' aesthetic though.
It's never been for bland 'realistic' things.
I'd be hyped if they'd stop dancing around the questions about Linux support.
>>324268402
I wander what Kushan cities look like. Will they be 1970's style realistic blocky sci fi or more sleek and ipod-ey
Between HW1 and 2, 2 was way better IMO.
HW1 had a pretty good, emotional campaign, but gameplay-wise it was shit when compared with HW2. Graphics looked like ass, draw distance was low and the ships were crap. The campaign mission were boring as hell and all but 2-3 were forgettable.
HW2 on the other hand looked amazing, UI, controls and mission design were greatly improved. The thing that stopped HW2 from becoming the best of the series was that the devs ran out of money or something and were forced to cut a ton of content from the story.
I knew Gearmeme would rape HW somehow but GODDAMN
>>324285387
>gameplay-wise it was shit
This is true. I replayed it recently and I literally attack-moved every single mission without any problems or real care.
>>324268402
Cautiously optimistic. I want to see some random people playing competitive matches first.
>Hey guys you know that really well received 3D space RTS?
>Why don't we make a sequel where it's standard top down RTS that's not in space?
Fucking. Genius.
>>324276374
You must be fun at parties.
>>324285718
There's not much to strategy in HW1.
If you're fighting fighter-class or Corvette ships; build Heavy Corvettes.
Anything that is Frigate or higher; Ion Cannon frigates.
Maybe a few Attack Bombers to spice things up.
>>324286156
To be fair the original concept of this game, called "Hardware: Shipbreakers" was only loosely based on the HW series, since the devs didn't have rights to HW. It became an official HW game when Gearbox told them to make it a HW game.
>>324286156
It wasn't a Homeworld game when it started actually. It was just made by the Homeworld people and then they made some sort of deal with Gearbox that let them use the Homeworld name.
>>324286156
3D was literally a gimmick, the game could have been 2D and it would have played the same.
Hell, DoK probably has more 3D gameplay then the originals.
>>324283102
>>324283209
>>324283294
>>324283389
>>324283480
thanks a lot
>the whole game is in a desert
You can make a video game set anywhere, why would you pick the most boring possible setting in the world?
>>324287146
Sometimes, I really lose the ability to tell if you people are joking, or if you are genuinely this fucking stupid.
>>324287320
They are really this fucking stupid.
>>324285718
If you are talking about the remaster, its literally HW1 missions ported over to the HW2 engine.
Omissions in gameplay mechanics, such as re-fueling and the introduction of mechanics from HW2, such as enemy scaling, means the remastered HW1 missions were made significantly easier.
>>324287941
fuck me
>>324268402
glad you started a thread, i was thinking about it last night and noticed i missed yesterday's thread
only played homeworld. was thinking of getting this for the free remastered, but i heard they dun goofed with combat. so i would have to wait for an official patch to get it back to the way it was? is there no fanmade one for 1 or 2 remastered to do formation control?
thinking of pirating the original 3 if that's the only way to do it right, but i don't know if they'll launch on win 7 anymore
>>324286704
>3D was literally a gimmick,
Khan pls go
>>324288396
Remastered looks great, but it is essentially the original games running with the HW2 engine
all things like combat formation, bullet physics and ship behavior of the original are gone.
GBX released some patches that can fix some of that.
Classic versions included on steam run fine.
I don't think the original HW1 and Cataclysm will run on W7 but HW2 will do fine.
eh, we'll see if it's any good
It looks pretty good to me, but I have never played Homeword. The units look beautiful.
The variable terrain will be interesting, but terrestrial-only combat seems dated in a post Planetary Annihilation world.
>>324289085
thanks. it seemed like in yesterday's thread gearbox was going to release the patch that returns HW1 play style on the 20th. i don't want to buy this new game and just guess if they're going to deliver
>>324268402
Homeworld was a garbage rts to begin with anyways.
>>324290128
Just play classic bro.
It runs on Win10 at least.
It's the comfiest one.
wait anthony burch doesn't have anything to do with this, right??
>>324293031
No, the game was not made by gearbox, it was made by some devs that worked on the original HW. Gearbox just allowed them to use the HW trademark.
>>324268402
I'm worried it's going to be a standard RTS like C&C or SC but with Homeworld aesthetics.
>>324294341
There's no base building.
It's basically like Homeworld, but on the ground.
You build, research, launch, dock with your land carrier.
>>324294341
There's 30 minutes of gameplay footage on youtube (IGN interview). It looks nice to me but having a short campaign (and only for 1 faction) kind of sucks.
