![]() The only thing I have encountered with the game that happened on a few occasions, mission objectives were performed before they were announced on accident and that caused the game to not trigger events correctly and missions to not end. In Homeworld 2’s case the graphics aren’t too bad! Last but not least they also released the remaster with a copy of the classic versions of the game for all those who want to play with the old mod and graphics. I am looking forward to the Warlords mod making a come back! Now that it is also on Steam there is the steam workshop and people are already putting stuff there, so go take a look and see if anything looks fun. As mentioned before about Hyperspace, the sound is so distinguishing that When I heard it again after the announcement trailer I got chills.Īs was mentioned before with Mods, the remaster comes with full mod support, so all those old modders can come back and re-release their mods. All ship sounds are super cool and clear and you can zoom in as far as one single ship and hear its radio chatter. The game was completely remastered with the original sound guy at the helm and it is fantastic. ![]() And how about when ships go into hyperspace or make hyperspace jumps! A small blue square appears and then forms to the length and width of the ship that is jumping and it looks fantastic especially when ship jump into a new area and hot drop on some bad guys! Now that you know it looks good, lets talk about how it sounds good. When lasers are fired the laser will light up the parts of the ship around it for a very cool effect. They reworked the engine, models and added a cool lighting system, which includes god rays. Man, oh man, does this game look beautiful. The Remaster is fresh enough that it stands on its own as if it was a new game coming out today. This isn’t like Starcraft, or Sins of a Solar Empire, or Command and Conquer. The other interesting factor about Homeworld is that there really isn’t any other RTS like it. This is a great return for an RTS classic as the genera has been slow, or seeing games that don’t make it. ![]() The other great thing they did for the remaster was include a multiplayer Beta, and for a Beta the game plays well and I have not had a single problem with it yet. The remaster includes a unified UI for both Homeworld 1 and 2 which makes playing both games simple. The result is nothing short of fantastic. When Gearbox acquired the games they brought on a bunch of the original game makers to help remaster it including the sound guy. It is played in a full 360 degree space and has a great mod community, at least for the classics. Homeworld is a space based Real Time Strategy game or RTS. One of those said games is the Homeworld Remastered Collection. Select titles deserve a remaster, this way they can continue to get in the hands of newer generations. However, there is hope for video games to get the credit they are due. In a day and time when it seems that most “things” that come out are reboots and remakes, it can get pretty tiring.
