Even more good news… Some of the developers are from the original Homeworld development team!
It’s even been ‘blessed’ by Gearbox, the current owner of the Homeworld franchise, and Blackbird will be receiving financial and other support, along with the official ‘Homeworld’ title.
And of course, Gearbox is currently making a remastered ‘HD’ edition of Homeworld.
I’m crossing my fingers, it looks almost too good to be true!!!
Well, at least Shipbreakers is headed by the actual devs from the original Homeworld series. On the third episode, in which you can catch a glimpse of gameplay, the layout is similar to the original series. From what I understand from the ‘remastered’ edition, Gearbox is just putting a fresh coat of paint on 1 and 2. So hopefully they won’t mess with anything crucial.
On that third episode, you see some aircraft surveying the wreck. I was immediately reminded of the way fighters moved in HW1. Oh, good times.
I meant no insult. I was just supplying information that was wasn’t present in your OP for the people who HAVEN’T been following the game as closely as we.
