One of my biggest regrets about older vs newer games is the learning curb... Homeworld is one of those games with a masterpiece story AND truly exciting / immersive gameplay, but you need to be prepared to spend a significant time-frame learning the system, meaning you'll probably fail over and over if you're playing it for the first time. The RUclips algorithm rewards views and likes, so content creators don't have any incentive to play harder, slower-developing games to completion. I understand it, it's just unfortunate T^T
@@chriswhite3692 Kushan starts fight with Bentusi because they want a 2nd one of those core things that make your starships go brrrrrrrrrr a very long distance (only 3 of which are in existence), Bentusi absolutely pummels the clown Kushans. The main rival of the Kushans, the Taiidani Imperialists sees this annex the whole of Kushani space and sent the surviving population into exile whom become the denizens of Kharak. The Bentusi probably got news of the total annihilation of Kharak, it’s population, with everyone aboard the mothership being the last survivors, they were like “Oh $#*% I’m sorry” in their special way.
It’s a shame there are so many things broken in the remaster. Formations don’t work right (like military parade), salvage corvettes are bugged, and even in this video in mission 5 you see the enemy Carrier spawn a ton of hostile fighters when it’s captured. It’s gorgeous, but they really dropped the ball with this remaster other than the graphics.

One of the great classic pc games along with the rest of the series! I'd love to direct a movie trilogy for each game. I have no idea how much work it would take to get the movie rights let alone the cost.
This is one of 3 IPs I'd love to see adapted. If I win the Mega Millions I really don't care what it costs, we'll at least have an animated series for all of the games in chronological order.
I'm with Count Kilmov here. Animation would feel less jarring compared to the CGI addictions of live action, while a TV series would be more nuanced than severely limited movies.
Thank you very much for the time and effort you have put into making this. Truly enjoyed it. And kudos for not rushing the very first jump scene and waiting for the entire docking to be done, it was apparent that you wanted everyone to savour the moment.
Why doesn't Netflix adapted Homeworld for a tv show is beyond my comprehension. It's begging to be on tv or at least movie. Rich lore, fantastic storyline, great ambient (space ), add some characters and you have recipe for a great tv show 😀
Itd instantly lose most of the wonder, the greatest strength is the characters being the leaders of entire civilizations (or at least tens of thousands of people). Having to go down to a personal level cuts out the scale in order to add drama, just look at the Halo series to see what i mean

My baseline ship by Endgame was mulibeam frigates, i had 4-6 per fleet the gardeners of Kadesh were so helpful in providing a bunch, and i had 3 full fleets by the last mission eash with a dreadnought 2 destroyers and 10 ion beam frigates, my biggest struggle at that point was maintaining formation if i tried to stack too many units in each fleet, and honor Harrington is right the wall of battle is still best, at least with this system...
Missing in the remaster version are the hundreds of the Taidan ion frigates guarding the hyperspace inhibitor at the 1:17:00 mark. They surround the station like a gigantic ball of ion cannons. In the original version, it took a long time to complete the mission, and with some trickery, the ion frigates were captured to be used with deadly effects.
@@rivenoak that was how I played. The next mission that had the gigantic asteroid , the captured Taidan ships basically blew it away in a couple of minutes
the remastered has a scaled difficulty system, so the more ships you have, the more the enemy has for each mission. the person playing here, is deliberately keeping his fleet tiny, so that the enemy fleet composition is itself also tiny, making it significantly easier to get through. if you play the remastered version exactly the same as the original, that battle where they throw an asteroid at you is insanely difficult, because the enemy literally throws hundreds of frigates, and around 40 cruisers and 90 destroyers at you. it really becomes difficult late game if you have a huge fleet.
@@masterofthedeathwing2839 this scaled difficulty is dumb. The goals should be to collect as much ships because the Taidan will throw a tons of ships at you even when your fleet is small. So the goal is to harvest and to collect as much ships as possible
@master Didn't know this. Thank you. I loved this game years ago. Was told about it and read articles about it in pc mag but still kind of shrugged it off until I saw my friend playing. Had to have it then. I seem to remember a unit cap? You could only build so many of each. Could be mistaken, its been ages.

As per the last commenters factoid drop, this game would definitely have been inspired by Dune as a story, and not the other way around because Dune is sixty years old - but you make an interesting point that the NEW movie retellings of Dune have a feeling that this game also gives off.

Something tells me Villaneuve played this game and made certain to find sound engineers for the new Dune that could recreate the feeling it gave off. I'm gonna go see if I can find out!
As a fan that played when the game first came out I must say I didn't really appreciate how HW2 retconned much of the backstory. For Example at 44:40 they say that the Hyperdrive was reverse engineered from the Khar-Toba. But in Homeworld 2 its stated that the took the Khar-Toda's far jump drive and stuck it on the Mothership contradicting dialogue from the first game. Does it ruin the gameplay any? in the grand scheme of things, no but it still messes with continuity.
@@johnpooky84 even the classic version is messed up. They changed the way evasion works in the remastered version and it's painfully obvious if you watch it closely.
Everything is "obsolete" considering the code is millions of years old. And the ship itself has been built using tech taken from the ships found in the desert, which are themselves MILLENIAS old from the original exyle. I think in this universe you are basically at the peak of what's possible to be built before going into even higher and ungraspable tech like the one from bentusi and the progenitors (Sajuk ship etc) it's a bit like in star wars where tech expansion is veeeeery slow
My only question is when the Bentusi are attacked...why didn't they obliterate the attackers? They were portrayed as nearly unstoppable in Cat....sorry, emergence. Yeah the beast could affect them but their weaponry was still godlike
With how that event happened, I would bet they let themselves look like they were in trouble. Hence why it also just so happened to be right in front of the exit point too ;) That way they had an excuse to tell you the history of your people.
There's some possibility that the Taiidan fleet sent against it was larger than when we first encounter it, due to receiving heavy losses. Also, they might have had used a weapon that rendered the Bentusi lasers and Super Acolytes moot, like an enhanced and attached variant of the Grav Well Generator.
@@GamerPete101 Well you got around to the second one, good job. Can you put them together in the playlist so they can easily be found. Just Deserts of Kharak and next year we will have Homeworld 3 as well.

Say, any plans to make a a Classic take on this, so to compare the changes in graphics, voice acting, and even certain details (all while appeasing some purists who aren't into the remasters)?
Someone stole the sounds/foley-work of Last Exile. Specifically the sounds of THE “Last Exile” as it moves through/creates the “Grand Stream” on Prester (which is apparently an artificial world to begin with, which deserves to be explored at some point).
Taiidan had all the right to destroy Kushan, it was part of the deal if they break it, kushan broke it and they paid the consequences. Sadly the Empire lost and these caste system scum never understood the consequences they brought on themself. At least the native Hiigarans were able to get back to rule and do what the Riesstiu couldn't, and outlaw the kiits degenerates.

My only question is when the Bentusi are attacked...why didn't they obliterate the attackers? They were portrayed as nearly unstoppable in Cat....sorry, emergence. Yeah the beast could affect them but their weaponry was still godlike
With how that event happened, I would bet they let themselves look like they were in trouble. Hence why it also just so happened to be right in front of the exit point too ;) That way they had an excuse to tell you the history of your people.
They probably dont want to hurt any factions that can be reasoned with, or the exchange was just a serious pacifist
There's some possibility that the Taiidan fleet sent against it was larger than when we first encounter it, due to receiving heavy losses.
Also, they might have had used a weapon that rendered the Bentusi lasers and Super Acolytes moot, like an enhanced and attached variant of the Grav Well Generator.
Wish it was a movie.
Are you going to make the other 2 movies? There are so few channels that have which is a shame.
Darth Bane it’s on my list, but unfortunately by backlog is extensive and I’m not sure when I’ll get around to it,
@@GamerPete101 Well you got around to the second one, good job. Can you put them together in the playlist so they can easily be found. Just Deserts of Kharak and next year we will have Homeworld 3 as well.
@@darthbane3937 I’ll do that. I’ve actually started Homeworld: Emergence (AKA Homeworld: Cataclysm) today, so I hope to get all four Homeworld games up.
@@GamerPete101 Hope you also do a Classic take of this game.
Superb!!!
Bruh, I JUST released that in imperial broadcast at 36:08 is spoken in russian
The bad guys are Russian? Makes sense.
i wish they would make a new Homeworld game as long as they don't stray from the original
They are making a new Homeworld game.
@@JurzGarz I hope it's good
No one ever does the Ghost Ship mission correctly... 😒
What is the correct way?
@@icexvi2573 Mass strike craft to take out the ghost ship, then all of the capital ships instantly become yours. Strike craft are easy enough to rebuild.
And after that you should begin researching gravity tech immediately, in 1 sec, before bentusi arrive
@@drahkas8526yeah people forget that.
Shame they took homeworld mobile of apple App Store was great game only game I played on android app genuinely gutted the admiral 😢😢😮
Very nice.
I remember playing this and hated it because i guess i was to young and dumb to understand this game haha But still happy nostalgia.
Frigate lost..
You guys team banana? Or team boomerang?
Say, any plans to make a a Classic take on this, so to compare the changes in graphics, voice acting, and even certain details (all while appeasing some purists who aren't into the remasters)?
Ngl Karos Graveyard is spooky as fuck.
Good
Quite reminescent of the Dune...
But in truely galactic scale.
19:20 Kiith Gaalsien was right.

WHY!? One can buy this old game in Steam for a few $
tfw the comments this week
Someone stole the sounds/foley-work of Last Exile. Specifically the sounds of THE “Last Exile” as it moves through/creates the “Grand Stream” on Prester (which is apparently an artificial world to begin with, which deserves to be explored at some point).
They won't because of freedom of thought
This resonates so much, because it is likely our history. Mars bears the evidence…
Terrible camera work. You could have zoomed in on the combat or follow a fighter or Corvette
Taiidan had all the right to destroy Kushan, it was part of the deal if they break it, kushan broke it and they paid the consequences. Sadly the Empire lost and these caste system scum never understood the consequences they brought on themself. At least the native Hiigarans were able to get back to rule and do what the Riesstiu couldn't, and outlaw the kiits degenerates.
Space travel is boring !
After a short time this became VERY BORING!
Crap
Boring as heck
This thing is so boring !
