When all you do is polish the original game instead of actually making a new game the boogieman becomes a lot less scarier. They even kept the 2nd mission splashdown bug from the original game.
Also the UI could have new icons. The polygons only date the game further back, especially with the new fantastic game details on the background. It looks like watchin Interstellar 1080 p in a etch a sketch.

Most remasters don't get the original audio from source, hire the original artists to redraw assets in HD and assist texture artists, or hire back the entire VA cast and re-record every single line.

Gearbox acquired the Homeworld license, which is beloved around many circles, and justifiably, /v/ was worried Gearbox would fuck it up. Thankfully the worst didn't come, and it looks like it will actually deliver.

You are a faggot. You're the e-celeb anti-fanboy. Which is basically just a fanboy but more annoying and obnoxiously loud.
>>284516410
I hope the new generation of gamers can relate to the themes and enjoy the Homeworld series so the name (and concept) doesn't get tarnished. Probably won't buy the games again just to get updated audio/visuals - last re-played the games a few years ago and as multiplayer balance and broken mod-support aren't too exciting I doubt the remaster would keep me busy for long. Perhaps (or hopefully) I'm wrong and there's something exciting to come out of it.

>>284518383
>as multiplayer balance and broken mod-support aren't too exciting
The multiplayer is being rebalanced in a new mode that will feature all 4 factions, hence the "beta" since they know it won't be balanced from the get go. Mod support is going to be very present this time around as they are integrating the game with Steam Workshop.
>TotalBiscuit.
Why do people suddenly like him?
It's because the original devs did all the work :^)
>>284520254
Well Gearbox is working with BlackBird so this is true to some extent.
Seriously, it was a great situation.
it was either:
a) a good remake that we can all enjoy
or
b) make fun of gearbox again
honestly, nothing wrong with that

>>284523728
And that is relevant with Homeworld how? I don't give a shit about Gearbox, but I'm not going to blindly ignore a good product just because they've done shitty things in the past, especially now that the original devs are involved.
>>284516130

>If you’re new to Homeworld, the experience will be easy to pick up and understand by playing through the tutorial. But if you’re a returning veteran, you may notice a few changes to certain mechanics stemming from what was essentially rebuilding the Homeworld 1 campaign in an enhanced Homeworld 2 engine. Fuel, for example, is no longer a resource you’ll need to manage in Homeworld 1. While fuel is still a factor in a particular mission involving the Kadesh, gameplay is now similar to Homeworld 2 in that you won’t be monitoring fuel throughout the campaign. Research has also slightly changed. In Homeworld classic, the more research vessels you had, the faster you could research. Now, in line with Homeworld 2, Homeworld Remastered instead focuses on cost, or RUs (research units). The more vessels you have, the faster you can get RUs.

This.
The footage they've shown, the interviews they've had, all show that they are serious about this remake. They even hired the developer for Complex to tell them what modders need and want.
>>284528934
There was this guy who was tracing the stuff, but he hasn't posted any news about it. He contacted the original devs and they said the source code was problably somewhere in whatever company took over Sierra.
>>284526481
Good, the fuel mechanic was fucking awful and wasn't needed. The camera was also shit. Glad they fixed both in the sequel.Playable Kadesh when?
>>284514915
WHERE IS HOMEWORLD 2?
>>284526481
I don't mind these changes at all. While fuel management did make the game a bit harder, it's not a big deal to remove it.
I hope they did not make the campaign easier in Homeworld 1. I really like how balls to the wall hard it gets halfway through, especially on first playthrough.
Where's the cheapest place to buy this game? Fucking loved HW2. I hope they've rebalanced campaign though.
Just fucking pirate it.

It's funny because Gerstmann and giant bomb also got shit on for not hiring a woman and that tranny went on a tirade
>>284555107
Not really. I could play Homeworld 2 fine on Win7 with multiplayer on Gameranger. If I'm getting the same game again, either the price or content must be right.

Dude, they're a good band. No reason to say that.
>>284554884
Yes, that is what I am implying. Hinting at. Insinuating and suggesting. I'd even go as far as to say I infer it.
He streamed it a few days ago, but the vod is behind a paywall
>>284555168
You're getting both games, the first one having the biggest update, and the multiplayer will have significantly more people and work better.

seriously please let them buff frigate HP, they were such useless toilet-paper things and then they asked them to go toe-to-toe with their direct counters.

There's a dedicated subreddit for everything, what's your point?
>>284555025
ohohohoho boy, you'd best pick up the remaster when you can and strap in, because you are in for a hell of a ride.
It's good. Real good.

And there goes my pre-order.
I was so close to pulling the trigger too.
But this kind of shit is not something I can accept.
I remember playing homeworld 1 a long time ago (i think it was homeworld 1).
There was this one incredibly annoying mission with some kinda zombie ship, and i kept dying to it.
I ended up selling all my ships, building probes and then suicide launching the probes into the ship till it died. Was the most fun way of solving a mission i've ever done.

Bitch don't believe in capital letters either shit
>>284556152
That's Homeworld: Cataclysm
it's zombie ship: the game
unless you're talking about the Graveyard ship

The game does look good. Have to give them credit for not being lazy with the remodelling. The game looks good.
Also, cutscenes in multiplayer? Seems like it's short ones so it wont be a bother, can be a cool idea.
>>284555701
Did the originals have relics? Been ages since I played HW myself.
>>284556309
Yea that must be it then! I take it its in this HD remaster?
>>284556859
Relics, challenges etc are from the Complex mod (they hired one of the devs to give input on modding tools etc).
>>284556859
I've played Homeworld 2 multiplayer extensively and it had nothing of the sort.
I fact you can see in the video that there are three modes: HW1 multi, HW2 Multi and HW Rem. multi
