A true return to the Homeworld series, with the same art director that brought the originals, developed by Blackbird Interactive (formed by the original developers of Relic.) I can't wait for more of that space opera with mythological overtures punctuated by middle-eastern music influences. Easily the best art direction in all of sci-fi. THANK YOU! Gearbox, do NOT screw this up for me, please! Let the developers do their thing!

The trailer is full on "in-engine" CGI without being stylized like the cutscenes of the series though.

[@trinarystarblazers4263]

The first Homeworld game (remastered) was an amazing journey for me. I loved the idea of fighting across the entire galaxy to reach the place that was once called home. In my play through, I did everything I could to take what belonged to the enemy, and make it mine. For example, I took literally every Cruiser that I came across. By the time I arrived at the final battle, I had well exceeded fleet capacity by doing that.

[@TioAe]

You hit bullseye with your comment Martin. I remember one of the dev's saying that the game analyzes your fleet, play style and builds the next stage to defeat you. In other words, it's like Sun Tzu said, your battle is lost even before it began. Every level is a Kobayashi Maru in itself, you have to face overwhelming ods, outsmart yourself in order to succeed and you can't hack your way around.. Homeworld made me a better person and gamer because of that approach.

Not to mention that Keepers, and Movers was in full attack/defense mode, so Progenitors was clearly in some kind of war, with something same or even more advanced, and its the obvious conclusion considering that the hyperspace core forge was obliterated to pieces, and all of their megastructures in whole galaxy was also destroyed and in pieces.

Hype for those of us who passed on Deserts of Kharak perhaps. As much as I've enjoyed the campaign and soundtrack of that game, it had several serious issues. GEARBOX, PLEASE. This is my favourite franchise, that I've immersed myself within for decades. You can't repeat the mistakes of DoK here. This game MUST have mod support -- release modding tools. It needs a decent AI system, not one based on outright cheating the numbers. For Kharak's sake, give us basic HOMEWORLD customization in skirmish. DoK offered set colours, NO badge choice and no way of implementing our own badges into the game. On top of it, my main faction, for which I had to pay, allowed only for the colour choice of two thin stripes across its vehicles. Disgrace! Also, don't force players to modify game files if they desire to change keybindings. Ever again.

They just switched their FIG comment section from "anyone can comment" to "anyone who donates 50$ or more gets to comment" too, essentially censoring anyone who won't pledge based on store related concerns.

Seeing as how the studio most recently made Deserts of Kharak as a land based prequel to the series and it included excellent use of a veterancy system and unique/diverse unit abilities (and at least featured late game command cruiser superweapons), I'd say they have a good idea of what to aim for. The more they draw from 1, Cataclysm, and DoK (or put more simply, just stay away from 2 outside of anything but continuity), the better.

[@akaikiseki9346]

You mean capture vessels ? I personnaly love that strategy.

What does RNG mean?

[@gavinator354]

@@discman15 RNG stands for "random number generator", a common acronym to describe when a game mechanic (like dealing damage) uses a random amount of damage between a min and a max, to determine the damage dealt. In the original Homeworld, all bullets fired from the ships did damage if they made contact with the enemy, and it relied on you as the player to properly set your squads to the right squad formation based on the kind of attack needed. Unfortunately when Gearbox did the Homeworld Remastered game, they replaced that system with RNG. Your squad would be in formation and then the moment they made enemy contact the ships would fly around in random patterns, completely ignoring the squad formation, dealing RNG damage instead of actual bullet collisions determining the damage dealt. It was something that was not well received.

OMG I have _never_ been this excited for a game. I've only just found out about it because I'd given up all hope of ever seeing it. I've wanted this since seeing the concepts for HW2 almost 15 years ago.

[@Стеван_Синђелић_1771]

I remember playing HW2 16 years ago, and HW 20 years ago.

[@rymdost5226]

We've waited to so long for Homeworld 3, this makes me so happy!

Yes! Original developers? Check. Capturing the same music and art style? Check. Continuing into age of S’jet? Check. I didn’t realize how much I needed this! Thank you, BBE!!!

ITT: Half-life fans still mad Valve can't count to 3

[@MironSmithX]

Well, we can always ask Gearbox to make Opposing force 2

[@IRMentat]

Miron Smith I’d actually like that. Gearbox are at their best when adding to the franchise of another company rather than when making their own engines to play a bland FPS experience within. I like the theme and design of Borderlands but the engine is trash, the gunplay some of the clunkiest (it’s one is the reasons that PvP game sucked, another was the visual clutter and prevalence of stun locks) and the ability system was “one button to rule them all”. The melee, grenade, 4 weapons was trend setting (in its simplicity), but 3-5 active abilities each would have gone a long way to making each talent tree more than a one trick pony over-reliant on repetition/spam

[@edisoncarter3841]

What lay beyond didn't hush every voice in the galaxy, it caused a deafening cheer.

[@sarblader]

I was really afraid Gearbox was gonna touch it but it's made by the good boys at Blackbird Entertainment. YES!

[@ikaemos]

Deserts of Kharak was just _wonderful._ I know it didn't make a big splash and, being dirt-bound, it didn't appeal to all HW fans, but it really tapped into the same "stranded on a big mothership, on your own, in hostile territory, journeying and discovering mysteries as you slowly grow from a ragtag gang of refugees to a superpower"-feel that the HW of old had.

[@Stingra87]

@@ikaemos It also helped that Blackbird interactive is the original creative team behind Homeworld 1.

@@Stingra87 The artists behind Homeworld. Which is why DoK looks and sounds great, but plays like crap.

[@IRMentat]

SNS CHL Deserts if Kharak spent so much time and energy of the late re-theme that a lot of the other systems suffered as a result (AI, faction variety, “floaty” ground combat). I would have much rather the game remained a homage as plain simple Shipbreakers, but I do appreciate the work put into the title.

[@sevenproxies]

What I really like about the Homeworld universe is that all the while as you go about the missions and the saga evolves, you discover extinct ancient civilizations that possessed an almost God-tier engineering capability in the likes of a type 2-3 civilization. You get to witness their dead relics that they used to harvest entire star systems when you yourself use your resource collectors on measly asteroids. It is as if your story has already been told countless times by countless now dead civilizations and will continue to do so through all time. Homeworld evokes that feeling that whatever our current struggles might be, we really are insignificant creatures in the grand scheme of things and it brings me a sense of calming awe. ...And the music is excellent!

[@nemz7505]

Oh yes, the music, it calls me :)

[@GrasshopperKelly]

Audio, design aesthetics, acting cast, directing/view angles, all just "perfect." Every detail is screaming Homeworld. It's simply a trailer and yet it's a damn masterpiece... (Relic/Blackbird and Gearbox inspired me towards my career, and this is just giving me a hard on....) As a nerd and engineer, I still look at Homeworld vessels, and see a huge amount of practicality ontop of their aesthetic design. Edit: I waited 4 years patiently for a disappointment...

[@lavrenzo84]

Yes yes yes ! Desert of Karak was one of the best rts game ever ! HOMEWORLD 3 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@sauliusvekteris526]

Desert of Kharak was shit. Dont mention that name please. It doesnt belong to homeworld universe.

[@generalsci3831]

It's been too long, Homeworld. It's nice to have you back. :)

[@johnp-e9963]

I can still remember my first time playing the original, thought it was a fun game untill kharak burned. The music in that scene got me so wound up and emotional that all bets were off and every single Taiidan ship I encountered met there maker, no prisoners and no survivors.

[@damienbowen4279]

oh. my. god. i used to play homeworld all the time with my grandpa alongside me or vice versa when i was younger. i thought the games were okay, but i only truly gained an appreciation for them almost 10 years later, when i was a year or so from finishing my time at junior college again-- i played them again and was amazed. the game makes me realize truly that i love my grandparents and my family and that i wish i had spent more time with them when they were younger. now, here comes homeworld 3, with the same music and aesthetic that still gives me goosebumps. i am moved to tears from euphoria, man.,

[@Cevanth]

Wild how they nerfed the crap out of the protagonist. She looked way better here. The art looks way more interesting than that generic CGI the game has.

[@lordvanazir1007]

OMG ITS ACTUALLY REAL ITS HAPPENING!! I MUST KNOW MORE!!!

[@EeekiE]

Early signs from voice acting are good. The original made you feel a tug at your heart strings every time you lost a single ship. The pilots sounded like real people trying to stay calm and professional in the face of oblivion, instead of actors trying to inject drama into everything. There was a very subtle atmosphere of desperation while trying to keep it together and stay cool. Make it sound like real people again, real radio chatter. That carried far more actual drama and emotion that some voice actors giving it the beans and playing a character. Listen to the flight director tapes for the Apollo 13 mission for inspiration. Don’t make it Hollywood.

[@oxtcn]

Every so often I'll see someone bring this up, and feel very happy that it gets noticed. I like not being the only one to appreciate the understated yet great voice work that went in to the Homeworld games, including DoK. There's some really good chatter when you zoom in on units.

[@EeekiE]

Oxytocin I just didn’t like Cataclysm with ‘ooo my head’ for a Ramming Frigate. Took it from a super suspenseful and dramatic space opera to a cartoon where nothing really matters and its all a bit silly. Sound more like a NASA mission control room and less like a Hollywood movie and we’re good!

@The Four Horsemen The developers are Black Bird Interactive, made up of key people who started relic entertainment back in the 1990's who made the first homeworld game. Gearbox are giving them full creative control over this game. It is in good hands.

@@Joshyoutubechannel04 As an old school RTS fan, I would prefer Homeworld over Half Life

[@mouthmw]

Josh it’s a terrible trade for kids who prefer simple linear shooters to one of the best and the most atmospheric RTS of all time and the best SF immerisive sim first person game. You obviously weren’t a gamer back then, but SS2 and Homeworld came around the same time and a lot of us played it back to back.

[@readyforlol]

@@mouthmw Half life isn't any simple linear shooter, though.

[@mouthmw]

HL was good, sure, but it kickstarted generations of linear style FPS games. I liked it, but I was never too crazy about it. I preferred SIN back then. That one still held the level design of previous, less linear FPS games, the likes of Build engine (which are still kings). Blood is the greatest FPS of all times, for instance. Just to throw that out there.
