HOMEWORLD 3?

[Aeshi]

I loved Homeworld 2, I definitely wouldn't mind a third one!

 

[Killersamman]

Anyone for a homeworld 2 skirmish to bring good luck in hopes of homeworld 3?

 

[mechanixis]

Hell yes! Homeworld 1 and 2 aren't available on Steam, and it's been driving me crazy. I used to adore the first one.

 

[Orcus The Ultimate]

Dude Impossible Creatures was the shit back in the days ! too bad it lacked more development

 

[lucaf]

I never got homeworld 2, and never finished homeworld 1

not because it was bad, but because I COULDNT DO THAT GOD DAMNED LEVEL. I had enough capital ships to destroy thir cruisers in a single volley each and it wasnt enough? come on!

and on that note, holy crap yes make homeworld 3. completely loved the first one despite me failing at it

... You people are making me want to play Homeworld now... -_-

UPDATE:
Homeworld = 109
Company of Heroes = 77

Ahem... I think we should go after DOW/DOW2 now... >:|

I'm fine with opinions but I call bullshit on "Something happened with something else so clearly it's now total fact forever" opinions.

So... you have an issue with someone noticing trends... I mean its not like its just ONE game that has been dumbed down. Its even with new (non-sequel) games, Take L.A. Noire. I love the game, but its certainly not terribly challenging. Its nearly obnoxious how hard the game tries to hold the gamer's hand throughout.

I get why its that way, and it fits with game in that a more mature/story based game may be intended to draw new players into gaming with a different experience than RDR or GTA, those players need hand holding.

So yea, I see a trend in gaming of games getting easier, and since its difficulty was one of the things that set homeworld apart from the glut of RTS's from its day it makes me wonder if they will manage to recreate the spirit of the first game.

I see your bullshit and raise you a "Poppycock!"

It's a trend when it is a trend and it's not a trend when it's not a trend. This is part of the the phallacy of games are getting easier. Easier versus what? Other games this generation? Other generations? Different platforms? Different genres? Different Developers? You're comparing apples and pirates based on how well the fizz when placed in a basket.

Was L. A. Noire that easy or is it just past experience of Rock Star games showing you the seams? Do you know anyone whose never played any of their games before and found it easy? I've played every BioWare game and they haven't "gottern easier" but I've learned how they think and usually can pick things up based on how they've designed their stuff before.

The total war games have only gotten harder and more complex continually. That is their trend so you can't just declare an immutable rule just because you happen think that's what is happening. Your context isn't the industries context.

EDIT: Also Balderdash.

I liked the first one, couldnt play the second one. I cant remeber why but I think it just wouldnt run on my computer for some reason. I'd definately check it out now though if they made a decent stab at the 3rd one.

I suppose we could just look at Homeworld 2 to gauge what a possible Homeworld 3 could be like. In retrospect, though it was indeed a flashy, graphically improved sequel, Homeworld 2 was just not as good (opinion) as Homeworld. I think it mainly lost some of the magic involved with presenting the Hiigarans as the underdogs. Sure, in Homeworld 2 there's the Vay'gr, but at that point in time the Hiigarans have been home for quite a while, they've got their military might back, mostly. And while they are under threat, it's not the same as if they were only relying on a single Mothership and a small fleet to carry the remains of their civilisation any more.

It was basically: Space-Rome getting attacked by Space-Vandals.

I'd like to see the guys who made Homeworld: Cataclysm get to work on Homeworld 3 actually. That game was an amazing follow up, with a damn near perfect cast and a ton of interesting ship designs.

Also...'phallacy'? The word is -fallacy-, I think I'd get banned for showing pictures of what your word would represent. xD

Hmmm, let me guess, they'll find some way to make it an FPS or an MMO... Call me cynical. :/

Hey, if it's better than EVE online I'll play it. Homeworld's backstory and setting really intrigue me a hell of a lot more than EVE's did.

Plus, you've already got multiple factions. The Hiigarans of course (and the many Kiith within that), the Taidan Republic and the former Taidan Empire, the Turanic Raiders and the remnants of the Vay'gr fleets.

I never played Homeworld, what's it like?

 

[Anarchemitis]

Mothership.

Production underway.

Homeworld has great storyline, presentation and the 3D plane RTS system is alot of fun and like Relics other RTS' is noob friendly

Homeworld Cataclysm is my personal favorite but all 3 games are superb.

Ive always found it slightly odd why Relic hasnt released another homeworld as it has a very strong cult following.
