5 minute preview with more ingame footage of the new engine. Looks like theyre doing SSAO and DoF and along with the higher res and textures.

I'm excited. Going to wait a few days after its release to make sure it's stable. If all they do is update the graphics and it runs smooth, I have no problem throwing down the money for a remake.

I've already pre-purchased. Even if it's a bug-ridden mess, it'll be worth it. Homeworld is always worth it.

Yeah I agree, this series was such a seminal moment in gaming for me. Whether it was the time in my life or whatever, Homeworld 1 just resonated so much. It also was the first time I had ever heard Yes, and listening to the closing credits was just like, "Wow..."

I found the dev talk to be rather obnoxious. Yeah, we get it. 15 years ago computers weren't as powerful as they are today.

And it didn't really look as good as I had hoped.

So much this. The only other game that I've experienced those feelings with since (even down to a credits song that made me say.." Wow, so perfect.."), was the first Mass Effect. It's probably no coincidence that they're both Sci-fi.

Reviews are starting to come out. IGN gave it a 9.5. PC World a 4.5 out of 5. Totalbiscuit was positive in his video about it. Seems like Gearbox didn't screw this one up.

TB being positive is putting it lightly. His conclusion:

"It's good. It's really, really good. And I am happy that it is. I so rarely recommend a remaster, but this is the best one that exists on PC as far as I'm concerned. It's just that damn fantastic."

Homeworld is one of my all time favorite games. Buying it after work tomorrow.
