Unlike most RTS titles which effectively place you on a 2D map, here you have a three dimensional volume of space from which to manoeuvre and ultimately conquer. However, there are a couple of notable differences in how this plays out in the Homeworld games. The game itself is very similar to other real time strategy titles of the era in that you search the map for resources to build up your own “army” (or in this case, fleet) which you then use to defeat the enemies and complete the mission. The remastered games wow you with a stunning visual design that is still unmistakeably Homeworld. The urgency of protecting your fleet brings back memories of Battlestar Galactica and the game capitalises on that mood immensely. Of the two titles, the story of the first has that greater sense of wonder thanks to introducing the world to fresh eyes. The sequel continues their story as the consequences of their return bring even greater threats. The first game covers the trials they face in returning to their home. The storyline of the series revolves around the Kushan a race of people living on the planet Kharak who discover an ancient spaceship with a map pointing to their true home, Hiigara. There is still some interest in finding a way to make it happen in the future but I’d imagine those chances would only improve if this release is a success.
#Homeworld remastered collection star trek code#
Current belief is most of the source code and assets used by the developers Barking Dog Studios have been lost. One unfortunate omission from the collection though is Homeworld: Cataclysm which was the only game in the franchise to not be developed by Relic. All of these are accessible through a unified menu. The Steam installation takes up about eight gigabytes of storage in total which is fairly modest considering it includes both the remastered games and their original release versions PLUS the beta multiplayer client. Not only has Gearbox, with help from some of the original game’s developers now working at Blackbird Interactive, made the games compatible with modern systems but have also provided remastered versions that push the visual and audio fidelity to new levels. The original version of Homeworld still looks great thanks to OpenGL support.
