That's not shitty, but it's also not super exciting.
Based on their track record, I'd say that if they actually do the work, we've got a good shot at getting a great new Homeworld game. If not...well...just go look at the reviews for the most recent Alien game.

As with many old games.... I would fork out another $50 for the great ones, the exact same game, if they were rereleased with up-to-date graphics. Homeworld/Cataclysm/2 is in that category.

Homeworld Remastered Collection comes to Steam on February 25th.
No console pricing here at $34.99 and is currently $29.74 (15% off)
It comes with remastered editions of Homeworld and Homeworld 2, plus access to the non-remastered versions of the game and the Homeworld Remastered Steam Multiplayer Beta.
For those of you unfamiliar, this was an amazing RTS set in space. It's different from other RTSs because it's not top down. It's played from every angle as it's set in space, not on land. It's also one of the most atmospherically haunting games I've ever played. The metacritic score is 93/100, so understand this isn't just one man's opinion.
