This is honestly the only RTS that has made me feel strongly for those lttle pixels lost along the way through my weak admiralship. In no other RTS did it feel like it mattered how many you lost but the fact tht every one who died on the way to Hiigara was among those who could never see their real home really hit me deep. Maybe that’s because I am an immigrant myself.
I was fascinated to play HW and HWC. Today, almost 9 years after these impresions, I feel as if Iäll never get anything similar to play on. After HW, I have seen much and tried out many games. I have kind of liked Warcraft III but HW still shines from afar … like something you cannot get close to.
I wonder if we will get more quality games in the future? Why is everything so simplistic, so clear and devoid of subtlety nowadays?
I too would love to see HW3, or even remakes of the other HW games using modern technologies. Who knows? Hopefully SC2 will renew interest in the RTS genre so that a new HW game would be more practical from a developer standpoint.
This is one of those rare games u never see today. I thought homeworld 1 was better than homeworld 2 because it focused more on the story line and not much on the battle and game play. I thought homeworld2 on the other hand was better in game play
ok, this is not a comment bout game, apology for Axatar’s reply to a comment, i accidently pressed the poor comment button, vry sorry, ment 2 press good comment, (mentally add 1 to that score).
I COMPLETLY agree, take the CoD4 game, they packed so much into the guns and enemies that id forgoten ther wuz a story (u r reminded by like 2 lines describing the story on the box, and like 10 lines for the multiplayer, no story), and started thinking, ‘hmm, which gun shuld i take to slaughter the people?’ Homeworld story is believable, and then ther r games like CoD4 that r just a bit far fetched, 1000/10 for this game, (CoD4 is still good, but homeworld is better
you mean the narration? the Homeworld credits song is From Yes, and their Album, The Ladder, the song is called homeworld, but this song on this video is just like an instrumental with narration
Karan Sjet and Makaan (evil dude from HW2) seem human, though, so it’s safe to assume both Hiigarans and Vaygr are human shaped. Nothing is known about interna anatomy, thus they may be different on the inside from humans
Also, yes, humans can cause destruction but you conclude that is all we do. Clearly from your reply you don’t pretend to think about improving the world, you’re ready to just watch it burn because you don’t give a damn anymore and accept humans only as destroyers. Finally, yes, people changing how they live does have a profound effect on the world. If people did even little changes in great enough numbers it would turn things around. Don’t be the fool looking at the world crumbling and shrug
Don’t derisive call it “Star Trek.” You clearly have no idea what Homeworld was about and chose to vent your opinion randomly here. The folk in the vid make weapons and kill each other.” You don’t know the storyline. Don’t condescend and act like peace is always the solution. Homeworld is about 2 peoples. The Taidani exterminated the Higaarans. Then, the surviving Higaarans (4,000 years later) were wiped out on their last world. Then the Higaarans fight their way back to claim their home.

agree HW is best(!!!) space strategy ever made
November 9th, 2009 at 6:19 pm
I wish there were more games like Homeworld around. In some way, it’s still unrivaled.

intrumental with voice?
November 10th, 2009 at 1:28 am
I dont think this is a song, more of an instrumental section of the game, try typing in google
November 10th, 2009 at 1:55 am
hi do you know the name of this song in the video? can you tell me please?
November 10th, 2009 at 2:00 am
It is known they are at least humanoid shaped.
Karan Sjet and Makaan (evil dude from HW2) seem human, though, so it’s safe to assume both Hiigarans and Vaygr are human shaped. Nothing is known about interna anatomy, thus they may be different on the inside from humans
November 10th, 2009 at 2:43 am
I didnt see anywhere which explained that the people here where human, I asumed they were like an alien race
