The license has finally been purchased.

Nobody knows who bought it though.

Fingers crossed that someone like Valve bought it, and not someone like EA...

The winning bidder.

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.

For a long time I have been meaning to look up the Homeworld 3 Kickstarter... I figured it had to exist.

Hey, there actually is a kickstarter to port Homeworld over to Andriod and shit.

Which I think is kind of dumb.

I guess if it keeps the franchise alive.......................

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: Shipbreakers.

Didn't we have a link to the SB vid a while back? Couldn't find it.

Loving that survey. Sounds like Homeworld HD is already in the works.

If they don't console price it, I'll buy that on launch date.

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.

I'm pre-purchasing my copy now.

It has an ending that makes me tear up like a <s>bitch</s> viking.

No Cataclysm? That was Homeworld 1.5.

Yesss, go on?

You wouldn't like multi. It wasn't really balanced for it. Too easy to wipe out the enemy harvesters and basically end the game.

Looks like I am playing Homeworld again pretty soon. Last played it about 6 months ago.
