This is the Science Fiction that gives me life. The kinds of stories that are more than just techno jargon. Stories about love, life, death. Empires and Conquerors. The stories that might take in place among stars and spaceships but could be read in an ancient tome or carved onto the walls of a lost temple. Tales that are Mythic.

Doesn't hit the same without Campbell Lane. Idk why but this feels washed down. They didn't really highlight the music in these trailers either like they did for Homeworld 2. Really hope i'm wrong.
You cant start at kharak! Its their prison planet! You need to explain why they were banished there in the first place. Tidan don't just show up and start blasting for no reason!
They addressed it a couple years ago and said are not considering it as canonical to the story. Only Homeworld: Deserts of Kharak, Homeworld 1 & 2 are considered "canon".
@@Hathur I'm pretty sure they said it WAS canon but aren't directly referencing it aside from a few details like the Somtaaw being called "Beast Slayers" and the Beastslayer logo being in the game.
Hang on Wasnt the first core discovered when a satellite malfunctioned and looked at the planet and not space. That's what it said in the original book that came with the game
The first in-game cutscene in HW1 says: "100 years ago, a satellite detected an object under the sands of the Great Desert. An expedition was sent. An ancient starship, buried in the sand." The core was discovered by the expedition itself, not by the satellite
@@slave7659 uh the satellite detected it ? Isn't that finding it then they wouldn't have discovered it otherwise would they. They would just find it not discovered it the satellite did that
@@ChayMiddleton the satellite detected only a wreckage with some kind of anomaly in it. There were another anomalies throughout the Great Desert, so there's only the exploration team's effort in discovering the core - the "primary" anomaly
what happened to the old style of cut scenes? these look strange and NOT homeworld like the old black and white ones where great! why change it! also can we see gameplay now or have a SP demo so we know that ALL the many many issues and missing features have been fixed! with the extra time you took otherwise hard NO! sale
It's the same as if you were scolding developers for creating more and more advanced games. Well, then let's also play pixel games, and watch black-and-white cinematics as you like
Guys, here me out. Fans of the series already know all this. New players - rarely care about it until they hooked by something. This trailer should hook people to play the new game but it's 3 minutes retelling the story of the first games. So new players will go and play them instead, wait for the sales on this one. Or better yet - hw2 was 21 years ago (omg), do we REALLY need to ground this game in that story? If not - what the purpose of this trailer?
But your Moderators on discord bully and threatened your loyal supporters YOUR FIG BACKERS yet you took our money and bullied us Gearbox, you going to give us our money back?
Ugh. Sticking with the rubbish homeworld 2 retcons to the plot, ignoring cataclysm. Doesn't bode well for the gameplay or the story when the garbage entry to the franchise is the jumping off point.
Never forget the Kuun-Lan of Kiith Somtaaw and their sacrifices and ultimate victory against The Beast to become the Beast Slayers!
The beginning: This is the mining ship Khun-laan. The End: This is the warship Khun-laan.
Glory to Kiith Somtaaw!
Cataclysm still holds the best story, and probably will do after HW3 release. Barking Dog devs had more love for Homeworld, than Homeworld's creators.

Yes my friend, sounds like we both come from the same place of being amazed at civilizations both real and fiction.
No one's left....Everything's gone....Kharak is burning!
That line, plus the music was the first time a video game made me cry.
@@XalenPrime Me too. Drove me to finish the game as well.
So is Homeworld 3
We need more games like this. No microtransactions, no battlepasses. Just an incredible narrative experience
That woman is to pretty!
Yea.. a game everybody will forget about by next year
Agreed
lots of games, if not most of them, don't have those. you're just lazy
@@Thepvpguy128 nah just you, no one play homeworld once,
Dessert of kharak is yearly ritual at least twice a year

Kinda wish Campbell Lane was still alive to reprise his role of the Bentusi and narrate this great trailer and take it into the realm of greatness
Yea...
This sure does rewrite the first two games into "Karan S'Jet vs the X" instead of "The Kushan/Hiigarans vs the X".
Higaaran propaganda
The story, the atmosphere, the music, the setting, these games are so awesome can't wait for Homeworld 3!
DAMN!! So many great memories!! This makes me wanna play all the Homeworld games all over again!
Me too lol
Please, bring back the beast, bring back the Somtaaw: the Beastslayers!
Imagine if the Beast infected Karan, the horror!
Non canon. Never understood why people liked Cataclysm so much. It was so much off, so plain and with this cheesy plot

@@chriskl2361 nah, everything is half hearted about it, voice playing, cutscenes, the dunno…
Man the music in these games is something else.
TELL ME THE BEAST IS BACK!
No. In the demo all Somtaaw ships had a basic emblem of this kiith, not the Beastslayers' one. This means, Cataclysm is still non-canon
@@slave7659 there was some Beastslayer along side with old ones
@@CharaSomtaaw the Beastslayers logos were in HW3??? I've seen none of them

It's a 5 minute summary. Chill out.
@danc1513 no it's making the story and past events all about Rachel or Karen rather than the events as they were aka a summary
@@Jadefox32 That would imply that the story would be a lot more personal and revolve and Karen and Imojen's relationship, since they emphasized the Sjets as individuals so much.
The music is fantastic, goosebumps.
The retcon is strong with this one.
There's just something about playing across multiple generations of a people's journey
Where the hell is Cataclysm?
Not part of the cannon, unfortunately :(
In our hearts. We will never forget the sacrifices done by Somtaaw.
@@MilosVujovic it is they have said it is.
@@MilosVujovic Cataclysm was confirmed to be canon not long ago.
Believe what you want to believe. Never forget the Beast Slayers.
The return of the banana boat draws near!!!
Rest in peace : Campbell Lane most iconic HW narator
of course the Taiidan probes would be the one firing the Atmospheric Deprivation Weapon....
1:29 Why are Taiidan probes shooting missiles that blow up Kharak? Did they not watch their own old cutscenes?
They gloss over an awful lot in the trailer, some of which is really important. Like the impetus for which the Taiidan Empire destroyed Kharak in the first place. Or the entire reason Homeworld 2 happened.
It was not shown in the game what exactly launched the missile to Kharak. The fire wave spread from the part of the planet where the probe flew.
It's been a long wait.❤
...for it to fail miserably.
Never thought i'd see the day...
A nice sinopsis of Sands of Kharak, Homeworld and Homeworld 2.
S'jet this, S'jet that...
28.9.1999 first Homeworld has been released.
Today is 28.9.2024...Welcome! 25 years later!
Next month will be great:Homeworld 3 and Senua's Saga: Hellblade 2.
Few soundtracks can send shivers down my spine and spark instant recall of the scenes.
YOOOOOOOOOOOO WE REALLLY ARE SO BACKKK
Doesn't hit the same without Campbell Lane. Idk why but this feels washed down. They didn't really highlight the music in these trailers either like they did for Homeworld 2. Really hope i'm wrong.
"Doesn't hit the same without Campbell Lane." well... what they where supposed to do then?
Hey, could you stop raiding my memories and destroying my childhood? That'd be greeeeeeaaat.
Is it just me or does the animated art quality seem like a backwards step from DOK?
Agreed
Got me playing Adagio for Strings all over again.
Where did the original Sajuuk go. Did the godship decide to AWOL ?
The Beast wakes up from its grave....
Huh, sounds a bit like the plot of Sins of a Solar Empire.
lets gooo! can't wait to play again
Love the voice, same as in Helldivers 2 guy that is close to the mission map 😎
Ok, now I'm sold. Gotta know what happens.
Too bad Beast and Somtaaw Kith are not mentioned.
Somtaaw ships could be seen in tutorial level in the demo
@1:28, It is the Tiidan Empire, not the Diidan. The voice does not fit :(
Don't forget Darmok and Jalad at Tanagra.
Temba, his arms open.
You cant start at kharak! Its their prison planet! You need to explain why they were banished there in the first place. Tidan don't just show up and start blasting for no reason!
adagio for strings intensifies
Looking soooo much forward ot this!
What about Homeworld Cataclysm?

Theyve always been butthurt that it did better than hw2. 20 years of butthurt.
It’s cannon, the beastslayers emblem is on some carriers in the tutorial. The video here was more of a s’jet recap and not homeworld as a whole.
“Upon the field of Vaygr”. This is patently wrong. It was beyond the Balcora Gate inside the blackhole cluster.
Oh goodie. Just what we all need. Finally, a game with a female alpha leader… oh wait.

The scaffold was 60

1:29 Taiidan probes can't maneuver like that or shoot missiles, THE STORYTELLER IS PLAYING WITH MODS!
Is the narrator the same VA as the democracy officer in HD2?
Im still woundering what happend to Sajuuk. Did they take it apart ... reforge it into the Khar Sajuuk?
Fleet command online
Hmm HW: Cataclysm didn't happen?
Kiith Somtaaw is used to being ignored and forgotten
cant wait!!!!
epic soundtrack ...
For anyone wondering, it’s called Homeworld 3 because it is the sequel to Homeworld 1 and 2. You’re welcome.
Are Homeworld 1 and 2 worth playing?
@@Lucas-wj8kl Always.
What great insight lol.
@@Lucas-wj8kl They are worth playing and REplaying
OK, developer's as soon as the game comes out let's start making the mods for it.
You could say that Karen... decided to take her grievances to the manager.
Why is the democracy officer narrating the history of an alien civilization?
The demo was lackluster for me; hope they fix a lot of the issues then
... So I've clearly been failing to fully utilise probes in all the years I've played HW.
Will this be coming to PlayStation?
Hiigara... our home.
Game journalist difficulty isn't in this game. Sorry you guys had to try
This is a great trailer. I sure hope they dont ruin this franchise with a middling third game full of basic human drama.
This visual style looks like D-grade anime compared to original cinematics. Or is it only me?
You are correct.
It's a retro sci fi look. It's intentional and they started with it like 5 years ago or something back when they made the deserts of kharak game
@@pythonBlender7 DoK’s in engine cut scenes look better than this, honestly.
is this just like an interactive novel or something cause thats what it looks like. celshaded and everything
DEI detected
karens are capable creatures here on earth as well
basically, Karen calling her ship The Chossen One after Ma'khan and go look for the Manager of the Anomaly.
Martyrs of Kharak! What's with you people and "Karens"?
SAJUUK-KHAR is "The Chosen One"
The ship is called vice versa - Khar-Sajuuk
Can't wait!

Turn the colour down on your monitor if you want them black and white
Technology has advanced! After hyperdrives, we have managed colours in videos!
It's the same as if you were scolding developers for creating more and more advanced games. Well, then let's also play pixel games, and watch black-and-white cinematics as you like
Thought homefront for a sec..
Guess they forgot to thank us again.
Never forget that Taiidan did nothing wrong.
Better not pull an Star citizen
me just hearing the democracy officer, WE SHALL BRING RIGHTOUS FURY AND DEMOCRACY TO LIBERTY'S ENEMIES
OmG, thought it continues from hw2 but no
Needs more Half-life 3 :)
Oh no...im getting red flags about the story they tried to pull..
Everyone is scared of the space-"karen"!
Releasing this after Dune movies is such a perfect timing. Being a fan from 1999 both of these franchises deserve so much more recognition
So the game is a story?
Classic space opera.
Deserts of Arrakis!!!!
Ich hoffe wir kriegen die Gegner Fraktion zu Gesicht 😢
cutscenes in color 0/10 un playable

3D RTS. Been that way since 1999.
Let's hope it's not Wokeworld or Homewoke.
It very much is.
Just completely forget about the biomechanical virus known as the Beast.
