Having watched more about it now i feel a bit unjust and it seems that the game was actually modified a lot more than i thought, well beyond simple modding...

That's good ! They also talked about a new IP of theirs directly inspired by the HW franchise and now i am intrigued.

[Mizhara]

Well they were originally going to just do the bare minimums. Some minor resolution and playability upgrades, etc. Then as they fiddled and worked, they suddenly discovered they'd rewritten the entire renderer etc. This remastering is a work of love, from what I can tell.

[Myyona]

As graphics are among the least important things in making a good game, I do not see why I should not just play the originals instead.

Because the originals are almost unplayable on modern systems, requiring enormous amounts of work. They also need a lot of work to get the multiplayer working, etc etc.

This remastered version also include the originals, only modified to work on modern systems, should you be a purist.

Well, all this talk about Homeworld made me want to play some Homeworld: Cataclysm, which I have always favored above the "original" ones. So I dusted of the CD and installed it on my new PC that I bought two weeks ago and, to my surprise, it runs fine without any technical issues.

So, I am going to do a pass on this 'remastering' title; I got my Homeworld fix covered now.

[Mizhara]

Yeah, Cataclysm was developed/published by someone else, so the rights never fell into Gearbox' hands and thus they can't remaster it, sadly.

[Karmilla Strife]

I still have my original copy of Homeworld and it's pretty unstable on my system. I'm very glad this is coming out, especially since I lacked the patience to finish the storyline the first time.

[Lyn Farel]

Don't tell me, the first game was HARD. Oh, the painful memories of my early teenage years.

I remember that being a thing right? I remember not actually having to do that much fighting, I would spam the capture ships and just steal all the enemies to grow my fleet.

[Silas Vitalia]

WAIT.

WAIT.

GUYZ.

SERIOUSLY.

This game has MOD SUPPORT.

There was an 'eve' homeworld mod years ago.


NEW EVE HOMEWORLD MOD FOR GREAT JUSTICE

[Lyn Farel]

Yeah I also remember that huge starwars mod they did as well.

[Kyoko Sakoda]

Modding HW:R is something I could seriously get into.

[Rin Valador]

I am so ready for this!

Just another 13 days until we can relive this epic... wonder if it will take me 2 weeks to get past mission 4 in Homeworld 1 again.... I seem to remember having had some nasty problems with it... not that I can remember what those where. Time dose wonders for those sorts of things.
