i played homeworld 1 when i was a kid and all i was doing was making random units then going to spectate them very close flying around and fighting, good memories

[@EncryptedLiberty]

I feel like every modern RTS struggles with readability. It's so hard to get right. When graphics were simpler, so was readability. Making a complex, truly 3-dimensional RTS is a not a problem, it's a blessing. But we've got to figure out how to make that palatable to the human eye. Winter says "this is happening." And I'm like, "I hear nothing, I see pretty stars, and there are tiny points of faded brown stringing LED lights between them, which is just delightful, but I didn't know it was Christmas!"

[@ElemXCR]

This was a problem for me in the orignal homeworld remake and HW2. I couldnt get into it despite people saying it was a great game. Kept flying to nowhere or headed directly to target which was also not ideal sometimes.

[@Mrmaverickism]

@@ElemXCR you can enable tactical overlay and every unit has a shape over it to easily ID them. at least in homeworld 1 also the tac overlay was the best way to control units not the cool way looking at battle directly

it is UTTER shit and this is coming from quite possibly the biggest homeworld fanboy of all time. It is beyond bad, like its almost broadline theft, crowdfunded game, half the stuff they said was "in" isn't in at all, camera is fucked, the campaign is only 8hrs long (down from 28hrs from HW2) the AI are worse then Deserts of Karak (which was the most brainless fucking AI ive ever played against in an RTS) I didn't think it could get worse then DoK. I was so wrong.

[@stalwart56k]

[@mc909a]

I bought the collectors edition and for me it was worth it because I love the IP, rts and sci-fi. This is definitely a think before you buy situation. I feel this way for all rts

[@Youbetternowatchthis]

Try "Beyond All Reason". It's free and absolutely fantastic. Also has a great community.

[@CrashAriMP5N2O]

If you like more spacey RTS goodness, I recommend Sins of a Solar Empire. Although SoaSE II is also around the corner for release as well. The franchise is a wee bit older than SC2 debuting in 2008.

[@Disconnected66]

everything that's been seen by many so far is that it's nostalgic in imagery and sound but on a mechanical level it doesn't even compare to homeworld 2... if you like how this game looks just play 2 instead.. they really seem to have given this franchise the exact same treatment every other horrible nostalgia bait has done in the last 10 years. i also believed this one was going to be different but apparently it's a sickness in the industry.

[@jimboniusmaximus6018]

Is there any advantage to inverting your mothership?

[@catbert7]

So... what exactly does H3 do that the previous games didn't? Granted, I haven't played Homeworld in a long time, but this looks like nothing new at all. Homeworld is awesome, just for the concept, but I never found the gameplay compelling. I can never really tell what's going on. I send units into a fight, there's a bunch of flashes, and I don't really know what happened or why. I feel very disconnected from the combat. I think a testing arena would help with that; like in Reassembly, where you can design a ship (fleet, in this case) and send it into combat against another fleet, under your choice of styled AI or manually controlled. That would help a lot with being able to come to grips with the relative performance of units and combinations, as well as just being a fun auto-battler in itself. Then there's the issue that Homeworld has never really had much diversity of units or strategy/tactics. It's too simple. I think a lot of that comes from the lack of map terrain to lend a level of dynamism. It ends up just being a bunch of ships slugging it out in the open, rather than utilizing high ground, cover, chasms, etc. that terrestrial RTS has. In space games like Fractured Space the terrain of asteroids, stations, and even other ships was still vitally important but that's because you controlled a single ship, so you could really precisely utilize cover/positioning. HW has too many ships to control for that. Might be good for them to introduce some ships that can create cover, e.g. shields, like in SupCom. But I think the shields should be directional, or have segmented HP, so you can flank or focus them down by attacking the right angle. The goal is more dynamic tactical options.

Three 1v1 tiny maps. Two 2-4p maps. ONE 6 player map. IN THE ENTIRE $60 game. Starting RIGHT NEXT TO the enemy mothership. And no hyperspace mechanics anymore, of course not. No directional armor. No ballistic simulation. No interceptor evasive maneouvers. After literally 1 minute 10 seconds (time the video) the first attack fleet is already here. What is this streamlined "fast paced" C&C4 / Dawn of War 3 horror? Where is my Homeworld? Why does EVERY good RTS franchise turn into this dumbed down IQ-deprived spam click fest? Its a miracle if an eventual SC3 doesnt also do this, and remove base building while they're at it. "Preposterous, impossible, why would they do that?" Why did Dawn of War do it? Why did Command & Conquer do it with Tiberian Twilight? Why did Homeworld now do something similar? EVERY good RTS franchise is just being blended down in a mixer to cater to the absolute dumbest attention-deficit-disorder crowd. Nope, im out. What is this? 2000's AAA rts nonsense, the reason only Starcraft 2 was any good in a sea of simplified dumbified content-drained overpriced marketing scams. Love you Winter, but good grief i thought we had moved past this after SC2.

50% positive rating on steam speaks a clear message. I wish Winter would stick to his clickbait SC2 content.

Tbf CnC Twilight was originally suppose to be Chinese only. It was literally there version of the game. And funny enough DoW2 is the best one out of all of them, it still has a very active pvp community (elitemod) where as the other 2 games are dead. So basically the majority of us actually don't agree with you.

[@leafykille]

I must say, I'm not impressed by this latest homeworld. It looks good, but it's going the same way all RTS games seem to be going, with a greater focus on how fast you can click rather than the actual strategy and planning. I guess modern audiences just don't have any patience or brains. Kinda sad really.

RTS games have been dead since SC2 in 2010 nothing has come close to being as good as SC2 and with each new entry it feels like they get worse. Not sure if it's because RTS games are less profitable or what but companies don't seem to care at all about them.

[@1VAHNFANEL]
