I still can't believe HW3 is here. I loved HW1 & 2, one of my favorites games of all time.

[@KingThrillgore]

Thanks Randy!

[@ZombieSexmachine]

Deserts of Kharak was also great if you didn't know. It's the prequel.

[@bikegeist]

I really appreciated your calm commentary and the way you tried not to talk too much over the dialogue. I rarely watch videogame content these days, but Homeworld is one of those fascinating games I've never played, but has something about it. Looking forward to this series.

[@GrandAdmiralGamez]

I love the Adagio for Strings rendition in the background of the intro. Throwback to the destruction of Kharak.

[@ARBTER-jo7wm]

I got a little teary eyed hearing the music of this game brings back memories.

[@4T3hM4kr0n]

21:54 the station is a GIGANTIC LOOT CRATE IN SPACE, holy cow XD

[@KingThrillgore]

With the good shit none of this star wars chopsticks

[@dakaodo]

Totally agree w you. The sound design and atmosphere with ship comms has always been amazing. I read that they focused a lot on making the HW 3 comms more conditional to create a sense of responding to in-game action.

[@-Markus-]

The comms are so good, sounds so genuine and real. Often monotone and calm, like you hear from pilots and military communication in real life. Not some burly dudebro "fOr tHe eMprAh" crap.

[@CrazyDutchguys]

@@-Markus- Heretic!

[@WilliamLaurenson]

Aesthetically, HW3 is soooo good rn. I recommend it just for the campaign (although war games is actually pretty fun as well). The story is not so good I heard, but I think it's passable (haven't finished the campaign yet but the bad guy basically wants to control the universe or something; pretty relatable).

[@armchairgeneral7363]

HW3 looks great, but using CGI over the animated paintings for the cutscenes felt kind of step backwards, imo

[@tinyrogue1320]

6:49 Thank you, truly!!! Speaking over the voice acting is one of the most annoying things ever. You have my upvote, mate!

[@Nate31891]

I actually just finished watching your Homeworld Remastered and deserts of kharak playthroughs. I'll be watching your playthroughs of Homeworld 3 throughout this week.

[@Jorjgasm]

They should have used that moving painting look from Deserts of Kharak for the cutscenes. They could be cheaper and more numerous.

[@TJ-sv4kv]

So excited for this game - have some good memories of HW2. The story was amazing.

[@ethananderson3770]

Those vehicles on the ground are Baserunners! What a cool call back to Deserts of Kharak

[@arilagi]

BEEN IN LOVE for this game from HW1 love it miss it and i wanna play HW 3 playing all the game HW 1 2 remaster 1 , desert kayaks, man i love this game cannot stop to love this

[@MontePlaysGames]

So ready for this series. Glad you are already providing us with content. Enjoyed your previous playlists. Thanks.

[@Patman-cr3tu]

Engineering sounds like they're from Kith Somtaaw from Cataclysm (don't care thats what it was called first)

[@seanhunter111]

Man the art and sound design of this game are amazing.

[@Zombo108]

Waited thirty years for this game and I won't be able to play it due to my massive stroke in 2017 heartbreaking doesn't come close to how I feel 😢 thank you black Bird and gearbox 🎉 if your healthy be happy you get to play HW 3 I'm sure it's going to be a home run try not to be so negative in the coments Black Bird worked hard to give us this game

[@deanverstraeten3850]

wow just the opening scene gave me chills

[@chloratum]

Awesome, alsways loved HW. This has the perfect old HW vibes, the looks, the music, the sound effects.

[@Fazut]

I just watched your playthrough of Homeworld 1 and 2 to prepare for this. I am looking forward to the journey that will be Homeworld 3. Have a great day!

[@rosalbafuda5234]

I can't believe this game is finally out and it looks so AMAZING

[@RedPilgrim.]

Homeworld in general is such a awesome game, marrying the visual, FXs, soundtracks. Especially the soundtracks, it always has some kind of melancholy feels to it.

[@ShinTzaddi]

THANK YOU for sharing this with us.

[@uther10]

Great beginning of the series!

[@FishNotGhOTi]

Such a lovely looking game. Utterly hyped to play this and I got chills at the line "I am Fleet Command."

[@FrikInCasualMode]

Looking good! And nice touch with rotating the Mothership. From Space Banana to Space Shelf? Nah. Space Shelf back to Space Banana? Heck yeah!

[@ReneSchickbauer]

We're back, baby!

[@ZayMTGChopcheesy]

Really awesome. Your play and commentary adds to the greatness. 👍🏾

[@ZayMTGChopcheesy]

Dont mind my name. I should change it fr lol

[@VulcanHDGaming]

@ZayMTGChopcheesy Haha cheers, and don't worry it's a great throwback 😂

[@dtw8446]

Man these Hiigarans just cannot catch a break!

[@patrickbo2045]

Glad you acknowledge that no words are suffice to describe this. Rarely a game got me goosebumps in less than 2 minutes

[@Brittle475]

lovely stuff! Keep it going!

[@dharmasanjaya4398]

Thanks for the playthrough, been waiting for someone to share the gameplay and story since my computer is a potato one...

[@MajesticDemonLord]

Adagio for strings. *FUCKING FEELS*

[@vincentho9721]

The intro…..wow. I also like that they are still using baserunner vehicles from Deserts of Kharack. Very nice detail.

[@Fazut]

I really miss the outro you had on your Homeworld 1 and 2 playthrough. Just a thought, love your playthrough. Have a great day.

[@kev1734]

Far out this looks amazing. Never played or even seen the first 2 games

[@jonathanmarshall3974]

When the mothership rotated.... goosebumps.

[@slave7659]

Beloved RTS is back. RIP to everyone who passed away while waiting for HW3

[@the.humankind]

nice one, thanks man.

[@TheKianykin]

I have always liked homeworld's art style

[@OAB179]

I can’t wait for the community to make a updated mods of starwars and halo

[@paragorn206]

Daaaaamn, sweet!!

[@CardSharkOfficial]

25:00 Intel is wrong. Those are clearly Turanic Raiders :)

[@obeddiaz599]

what a cool game I really hope there is more big ship to handle

[@m.gilangwiradhan9981]

Good game, the graphic is good too, smooth and looks like what a ready to release game should have. Not playing the game but watching it already feel good, a little overwhelmed for me, but overall it is a good game

[@Lykas_mitts]

The opening Cinematic reminds me a lot of the Supreme Commander ones

[@torg1]

I played so much Homeworld 1-2. Honestly I thought the franchise was dead

[@MrPhantomby]

Can't afford this game as I recently lost my job but I'm having chills watching your videos so thank you for uploading! As I'm sure many of us have, I've been waiting for HW3 for YEARS.

[@idle_q3699]

does the 3 dimensional axis have any actual relevance to the combat? or is it just a 2-d plane with fancy spaceship maneuvering animations giving the illusion of depth?

[@daryloshaughnessy6165]

Ohhhhhh baby!!!

[@KeshaunWilliams-ew8op]

Awesome

[@patrickbo2045]

"That big thing" is also about 1.5-2 kilometers long

[@Welcometodarkside551]

hell yeah

[@laweffect6394]

So what makes this game worth playing in your opinion and what's different about it compared to other rts

[@Frell1982]

well.. it's not on Geforce NOW it seems, I have to rebuild my rig edit: after watching, wow this feels like whole movie in which you're actually participating.

[@KenLives333]

I was born in 1980. First game was Donkey Kong. What a long way we've come. In such a short time. There also and still is Eve Online out there (a masterpiece in its own right), if only it wasn't so boring (to me I mean, even if I played it for years...).

[@loganphillips2166]

I was born in 85, my first console was a hand-me-down Atari. I try to explain to my nephew spaceships used to just be triangles and now we have this. I couldn't imagine how games will look when he's my age.

[@steveh8658]

I was born in '68. My first game was Pong on a black and white television. Lol! Been gaming ever since. HW is a great series.

[@Lykas_mitts]

nice

[@mnaglich]

This game looks pretty good (as it should be) but from a story point I always thought Cataclysm made sense. Like.. why would you have left port without scouting thrusters researched? Why was the manufacturing bay left unguarded? In Cata, you're just a random mining ship so all of these basic lacks kinda just fit.

[@darkranger116]

boarding actions? station assaults?

[@yukiko_5051]

The tone of this game feels much lighter than hw 2 and 1. Hw 1 feels cold and serious, making it the best for me

[@sebaaullador1292]

??? WTF

[@Nate31891]

I agree with you here. Homeworld 1 was quite literally forging a path to your Homeworld after your planet basically got decimated from orbitz. It's literally the survival of their species. Homeworld 2 played off on that a little bit but with a whole different race and 100 years into the future. I like how they did more to include the Bentusi even though they died in Mission 10. But there are a lot of unanswered questions for the lore in between Homeworld 2 and Homeworld 3.

[@ackbarfan5556]

Shoot, who voices Intel at the opening cutscene there? His voice actor is on the tip of my tongue!

[@somerandomdude7785]

That's the VA of Shao Kahn from MK11 & MK1 & Javik from Mass Effect 3.

[@ackbarfan5556]

@@somerandomdude7785 Looked it up, yeah, appears to be him... I saw his resume, and despite knowing a few of those things... I just can't put my lip on what sticks out to me.

[@somerandomdude7785]

Can you imagine if HW3 has mod support? Can you imagine re-enacting the Battle of Endor & the Battle of Wolf 359?

[@Trozomuro]

It has mod support.

[@taerkasten5090]

Very different approach of mothership constructions, Before new hiigarans the kushans build an scaffold to build the ms around it, now the new ms is build inside a base in the planet, different, am only hope than the game allow to be modded for a valiant person than add the taiidan or the devs add the taiidan in the new game as a campaign dlc or race, because what is astonish me is how the taiidan once powerfull and even feared has fallen to the point of irrelevance and become simple an anecdote. a little sad for a race than also put their part to found the galactic council.

[@MrMedy77]

How the game?

[@ninjaec]

Are the movement and camera controls as they were in the demo? They were awful.

[@89volvowithlazers]

Vulcan you can dub your commentary next time your voice would fit lol just like another npc lol but with swag 😅😊😂❤

[@89volvowithlazers]

Music is bsg esque

[@Trozomuro]

The OG Homeworld was designed to be a BSG game till they lost the rights, that explains some desing choices like the jump without needing acceleration, for example.

[@franciscoduarte2190]

​@@TrozomuroI'm actually happy they lost the rights, or that Blizzard lost the rights for Warhammer, because in the end we gained new kickass settings to enjoy.

[@Trozomuro]

@@franciscoduarte2190 INDEED

[@OGShiv420]

the people leaving comments need to get over to steam and give the reviews some love. I personally think the game is good, I really dont know why the reviews are not better than they are right now. I for one will be leaving a positive comment. I am looking forward to the rest of this series!

[@woollygoat8921]

$130 for this?

[@commodorce6431]

Just me or is Imogen kinda thicc

[@alientitimilk9073]

Those cutscenes are weird

[@leftypistolero5983]

So... they send an incomplete capitol-class ship with no capitol-class weaponry (only point-defense), completely without escort, to a region of space they know is not secure. The point defense weaponry itself is so inaccurate it can't even score hits on an enemy capitol ship when in range, firing wide by several times the enemy ship's length. Wow, miss me with this game. This first episode is infuriatingly stupid from a writing perspective. The player faction deserves to be wiped out.

[@sapersaper7830]

Do not like how they went away from art style of previous Home world games. Kind of dispelled magic and take out imagination play but then maybe I'm just to old.

[@jforozco12]

imogen is a fucking jet got it ? lmao fucking games, hope the gameplay is good cuz the stories are the fucking same they were 10 years ago

[@VulcanHDGaming]

Imogen is not directly related to Karan but she is a S'jet, yes.

[@gunhojput]

Thanks vulcan enjoy the game but for me personally..its boring.

[@ghosterdude]

the homeworld developers are the dumbest smart people i have ever seen. so am i supposed to learn camera work, resourcing, 2 unit types and at least one countdown at the same time? have you not learned anything after fouling up 3 games? look to your betters who made cataclysm for tips in mission design.

[@VulcanHDGaming]

Do the tutorial 🤔

[@visualizestudios84]

Such a dissapointing HW 3. Better play 1 & 2. Those are way better.

[@Nate31891]

I have to agree with you. I'm pretty sure the story could have finished off in a more meaningful manner

[@spartancj1]

tbh this game looks bad (not visuals). the ganeolay so far seems lack lack luster :/

[@TurKlack]

... I kind of don't like that they seemingly repeat the same damn intro for each game. ... Just... do something else than "Eyo we have to launch the Mothership, but it's not really ready, into an unknown world while some unknown enemy wreaks havoc on us all, woohoo." Is that the best the Writers for Homeworld can do? The same damn story, again and again?

[@avedis1990]

man those green health bars shouldnt exist !! they destroy the immersion in game, and that rectangle blue gateway concept in space is ugly and unprofessional, it needs better design concept. they should have given you the option to upgrade the weapons of the mothership, even add armor ,shield, and ultimately giving you the option to choose among 3 types of motherships, offense focuses on heavy weapons for long range attack and attacks on big ships, defense focuses on short range weapons to destroy small drons, aircrafts, and carrier ship which focuses on drones and aircafts as a means of defense and attack

[@kg2995]

Too bad these games have gone woke.

[@kathrynnewton5203]

Ok so let's look at this. Lead female unattractive, check. First male character POC, check. What a shame.

[@salvatore771]

Homeworld always have been about the Hiigaran people surviving and battling an enemy bent on destroying them, this feels like a character story with a comming of age arc, i suppose they are trying to make it more personal and emotionally investing but it just doesnt feel right, it looks like homeworld mobile crossed with homeworld dok, the story is so limited and short for a galactic empire fighting an invasive enemy and the limited ship amount makes it feel like a dlc not a game we been waiting 20+ years for?! why is the tech so regressive?! why is the UI like a pay to win mobile game?! this doesnt feel like homeworld!

[@GCDragonfli]

Request from an Old Gamer of Homeworld 1-2 .. Turn up game voices and turn down yours a bit .. Please, so much of the game is voice over. Thank you

[@VulcanHDGaming]

I'm personally not trying to talk over anything important, so I believe it should be ok. Not sure I can turn up the voices anymore either way.
