Okay...I created this post, because I was playing the Homeworld 2 demo. Although this game is almost 2 years younger than I am...ALMOST 2 years younger....It still is the best game of it's time, PERIOD. The graphics when the games Homeworld and Homeworld 2 were released from '99 to 2000, I was very young. All the way up when they kept selling until the year of 2k5 or 2k6, my brother (who's older than me) recommended me to get HW2, since I ALWAYS had a niche for strategy games. Up until then, I didn't know anything about HW, or HW2, so don't blame me, because I was so young during the years from 2k5 up until now. Since I have been playing the HW2 demo, I got obsessed of the game's amazing graphics when the developers used the technology they had at the time to AMAZING use.
With such little graphics technology, they were able to make 2 Game of the Year games from '99 in 2000-2001. So, I brought this subject up, because I was hoping another Homeworld 2 game would eventually be brought up with the same concept. Although we already have one, which is well-known, of course: Sins of a Solar Empire, but I'm thinking about the same idea AND concept of Homeworld 2. Same plot, somewhere around that area. Because I didn't know how much I missed the time period of when I was young and very soluble to wanting epic strategy games. Now, I'm just hoping that time will repeat itself again...
I still play Homeworld from time to time, and only got it about when Homeworld 2 was released. I only managed to play the Homeworld 2 demo, and have to say I prefer Homeworld over Homeworld 2. I love Homeworld, the gameplay, the music, and the backstory were all excellent. Homeworld 2 just hasn't enchanted me the same way, though things like less linear managers and strike craft squadrons are nice, I don't like the voice acting and the nerf into oblivion of support.
It's been years since I played homeworld 2. A nice game. Many preferred Homeworld (most of those who started playing multiplayer there did), but I have always found the original too swarm-heavy. Cataclysm had other issues (bugs and balance), and HW2 was a compromise.
Yet, I think Sins can reasonably be expected to do well too so no reason to dwell on memories.
well, I'm just hoping that a game maybe similar to HW and HW2 would come along...
I loved playing Homeworld 2, Angels Fall First mod was damn awesome too.
replying to Valkyness' reply; SEE?! SEEE?! This is what I'm talking about!! A new game that EVERYONE will like!! THAT'S what I'm talking about.
If there's homeworld 3 everyone will be happy for sure.
I would love to see a new HW game! Problem is that all the old HW developers aphave scattered in the wind
I still got the first HW manual sitting in a place of honor onby book shelf, it was one of those extremely well written things that got you itching to play the game, two of the folks who wrote that manual (and worked on HW and it's expansion) are part of Kerberos and they work on SotS2 now. If you are into 4x Space TBS games I highly recommend SotS1 the. Complete edition and in a couple of months I'll highly recommend SotS2.
