Homeworld 3

[Grifman]

And so it begins:





Some of the best music ever in a video game.

[RunningMn9]

The intro to the first game stands alone as the best open to a game that I’ve ever seen, with the most haunting version of one of the saddest compositions ever composed.

I want this movie.

Amen.

The sound design, audio production, and music composition for Homeworld were phenomenal (I still enjoy listening to EAC FLACs I ripped who-knows-how-long-ago from the soundtrack that came bundled with the Game of the Year Edition of Homeworld).

[RunningMn9]

At least a couple of times a year I still watch the intro on YouTube.

[Kurth]

The first Homeworld is still one of my all-time favorite games.

Really hope HW3 makes its way to consoles . . .

Oh hell yes. I honestly don't think I ever finished the damn game, but holy crap do I love it. I really love the "capture as many ships as I can" minigame, and by the later stages I almost don't have any room to make any more frigates because I've got a couple dozen already Borg-ed into my fleet.

Watching that buzzed is epic.

And delayed until February 2024. Bummer, but I really don't need another half baked mess. Let's hope they use the time to get it right.

[Formix]

I really want to quote Roy Kent here. I want the game right, but I was really looking forward to this one this year.

[UsulofDoom]

Maybe they are waiting for those that played HW1 and HW2 to die off so they wont be disapointed with HW3.

The developers listened to complaints about the demo:

So does anyone know what the deal is with the one year pass? It's kinda hard to decide if it's worth it with so little info on what it might contain. Is it ONLY the co-op expansions?

Do you play multiplayer? If not, it has zero value. It's only multiplayer content, and they've said that they have no plans to expand the single player.

Been out of touch, had no idea this was even in development until Steam dropped it in front of me and said it would be available in 3 hours. Purchased sight unseen, really. No research, no trailers, no dialog, no reviews. Just the images on the store page and the game's title.

I'm going in completely blind, hoping this title lives up to the name. I'm irritated that I have to work until close tonight.

Alright game with "netflix garbage series" tier story

Is it the same as all the rest? If so Ill have to pass. Homeworld games are games I want to play and enjoy but theres so much going on in a 3D space with the turning of the map and stuff I get over whelmed very quick and give up. Im great at all the other land based games like C&C and Warcraft. But put me in space and my shoe becomes my eye and my laces my helmet. It just doesn't go well for me.

Ever since the 90s these games are to me beautiful games, with beautiful voiced plot points and wonderful music that I can roll up a big fleet of what I think I need that I dont then die.

[Grifman]

Did anyone here support the game on Fig? If so, have you gotten your key? Haven't seen anything myself.

Alright game with "netflix garbage series" tier story

I wouldn't call it "Netflix Garbage" but it's not on par with the rest of the series. That's for sure. They absolutely could have done a better wind up to "why" you're out there and leaving. Instead it's "This is a cool ship. RED ALERT. This thing we never mentioned that's been happening everywhere is happening again. We should go look for this previous character from the series that wasn't mentioned before now as being important in any way. Go!"

I did avoid reviews until after my first couple of hours, and I think a lot of the negativity is coming from people who were following development closely and feel like the developers dropped the ball on promises. I'm coming in with a fresh perspective and think the gameplay is great. It's just lacking in motive and could have been written better.

My biggest concern is that reviewers are saying the game is only like 15 hours long. For $60 I'd expect 30+ hours.

Is it the same as all the rest?

It plays identically to the prior ones with some control differences. I think they smoothed things out a little in being able to observe and rotate the camera more quickly, but otherwise very, very similar.

Apparently the EULA is outrageous. You give away everything.


I’ll be not touching this.
