The launch date for the Homeworld Remastered mega 2.0 patch has just been announced for June 7th. Patch notes have not yet released but will probably at release of the patch.

It's going to add back in Ballistics, Formations and a bunch of other things. This patch has been a long time coming but I'm pretty excited.
A write up a fan website did for the patch

Very nice ship girl. Any more Homeworld musumes?

>It's going to add back in Ballistics, Formations and a bunch of other things.
Are you a shill? Or just too young to know you can't believe anything a dev says until it's you're playing through it? Let alone when Shitbox is involved.
Even if they add what they promised years ago, the implementation might suck. Plus does this mean HW2 will get a ballistic model? If so i might consider buying it this time around.
Just reading the comments makes me rage. They make fixing bugs which originally took 1 guy a few weeks to code from scratch without crunch time as if it was the ultimate coding challenge they solved, when they were the ones who broke it in the first place.

Why so mad? Several people on this forum have been waiting on this patch for awhile and I thought I would make a public service announcement.
>>14309391
Homeworld is /m/ fagboy
Oh, cool. Gearbox might not have the best reputation but it's treated Homeworld pretty well at least--Deserts of Kharak was nice. I have faith that this patch will be good.
>>14309734
RIP deserts of kharak. Apparently they added a new DLC faction without telling anybody. Nobody plays it anymore. Sad that I missed out on multiplayer since I bought it on sale months after. I wish there were /v/ or at least /m/ groups for this game, but I haven't seen anything organized. I hope this patch brings back people who hated the remaster at first for fucking lots of stuff up. I know the HW franchise has a big fan community, but I can never find matches.
>>14309734
Deserts of Kharak needed more Singleplayer missions, the game felt too short. Hell I would even love if they added some type of horde mode besides skirmish battles.
>>14310020
I'm just waiting for all the mods to be remastered. The ones that add new ships so I can replay the campaign.
>>14310281
I'm holding out for that Complex remastered, and the stargate mod to be worked out. I also want tactical fleet simulator. They have a remastered version on the workshop, but I can't seem to get it to work.
>>14310281
Instead of lame DLC factions, they should do map packs/bonus missions. But it's obviously cheaper to just pay one 3d model guy and a few programers for factions rather than support voice actors, level designers, programers, and music people.
Over all I just wish these games were better supported. I feel if they had that settled, then people wouldn't have stopped playing so much.
Anyone here try the Gundam Seed Remastered mod it got a English translation a few months ago
>>14310318
Probably the best mod out there. Works great, looks great, and I love how professional it seems. Movement of the arms and legs is really fun to watch.
>>14309351
I really like this one. Interceptors just chilling together with the Taiidan being a bit more proactive. Love it.
June 7? Sooner than I expected.
Now all that's left is Space Marines in BFG:A.
>>14317909
I also saved that exchange.
Some dev comments that are worth mentioning
>>14317909
You'll be waiting.
They pushed back the planned balance patch because of reasons.
>>14309734
Eh, I still feel that the flak they got over DNF is largely undeserved since it was pretty much entirely 3D Realms' fault that the game was in the state it was, Gearbox did the best they could to pick up the pieces from that clusterfuck.
>>14321507
Colonial Marines, though.
>>14321436
Got a source on that, m80?

>>14321510
As I recall they outsourced that one to another studio who then fucked it up sideways for some reason or other. I mean, yes they do deserve flak for not managing it properly, but they weren't the ones who were directly making the design decisions to my recollection.
>>14327443
>all those stance and RoE changes
Jesus, my fucking dick. Now this is how HW1 was meant to be played.
>>14327443
>>Rules of Engagement
>>Stances
Holy shit, they finally did it.
Jesus fuck, 5.2 GB patch right now, the crazy assholes are actually doing it.
Plays like a completely different game.
MP is a lot more balanced. Battlecruisers and HW2 aren't so freaking overpowered. You actually have to resort to combined arms and fomrations.
So Gearbox hinted at a big announcement before the patch release I was hoping a new game but it's the release of Remastered on GoG.com
>>14329307
Cataclysm never.
>>14329307
Or they got off their butts and secured Cataclysm.
You know, come to think of it, is there a reason why they haven't created a mod version of Cataclysm? I mean, if modders are dedicated enough to make Gundam SEED mods and shit like HW2 Complex, surely creating the Cataclysm ships can't be that hard?
Some dev comments regarding the ballistics system balancing it in hw2 and an ai system that didn't make it into the patch. These are all from this thread.

There is a Cataclysm mod. It's not bad.

My dick is hard as diamonds now. With formation and stance changes, I can actually command my strike craft to take evasive action at which point they start scrambling and flying everywhere to avoid gunfire from frigate turrets, or order aggressive so that they'll hold formation and circle around the target while blasting it with all their firepower. The ballistics system works too, if an enemy fighter is evading then my strike craft take a lot longer trying to hunt it down, and they survive a lot longer against frigates. It's like I'm actually playing HW1 again.
Mission 4 for HW1 got a nice difficulty bump compared to default remastered.
Just picked up on GOG. Finally. Took 'em long enough (I don't use Steam).
