Here is to hoping Gearbox doesn’t screw up this franchise, too.

Arkenbrien · February 7, 2015, 8:27pm

I have high hopes for at least the gameplay aspect.

Here’s some actual footage that was at the PAX South I believe.

I was watching that at work the other day. Noticed at 10:48 he mentions ‘the other project’!!! That could just be Shipbreakers but I suspect there is something else in the works…

Glad that I didn’t play Homeworld 1, now I will have a reason to do so.

You, sir, are a philistine. A barbarian.

One thing the original had over the remastered version, though.

No effing depth of field!
Watching those, I have the impression to be simultaneously near-sighted, far-sighted and looking at miniatures.

Good thing those are optional. (They are optional, of course. Right?)

@ThornEel that’s confirmed, you can see the guy turning it off in the video posted by @Arkenbrien so happy days!

And thanks Ark for posting that vid!

My one gripe is that the nebula is so bright you can’t see stuff when you’re looking towards it!

Arkenbrien · February 9, 2015, 7:28pm

I believe the technical term for that is ‘Lens Flares’.

hrobertson · February 9, 2015, 11:24pm

Actually it’s bloom. But the point is the nebula shouldn’t be so bright in the first place.

Just as confirmation,

[quote] I saw Lotion [sic] Blur and DoF effects can they be turned off?
a. Yes! there appears to be an exhaustive video options menu:
Please see pax gameplay capture for options menu[/quote]

From: HWR FAQ. So both Motion Blur and DoF can be turned off.

Runiat · February 11, 2015, 2:16pm

Clearly motion blur is always on but moisturising is optional.

Here’s a 4k version of a wallpaper (hopefully). Yes, taken from in game, no up-scaling applied.

Oops, wait, wrong one, just a sec…

Yeah, must have had a repeat file.

Here ya go:

Arkenbrien · February 12, 2015, 9:07pm

Hands-on-preview.

The exiting bit: The game not only runs at 4k, it runs above 4k. It has a max res of 5120 x 2880

Just to give you an idea, here’s a 5k jpeg

Also of note, the UI can be scaled up, so you now have no excuse not to buy that 5k monitor.

Yet another edit. @INovaeKeith you know, if you design the game to run at 5k, you don’t have to worry about antialiasing or anything like that. Just hurl as many pixels as you can at somebody’s face!

Runiat · February 14, 2015, 1:23am

because the market available with hardware to run it will be too small to pay for lunch, let alone the development of a game.
