Homeworld 2 Intro & Hyperspace Core Transfer

[pitatapiu]

"This is Fleet Command" shivers! haha

[DarthYryn]

What an Intro...what a Game ....!!!!!

[AdamkoSkiFlo]

yes, this game will be played forever and ever for memories

[typhooni8]

homeworld 2? so it's another game? sorry, i don't know much about this game.... is the second one better?

[jonharana]

@typhooni8 The graphics and general gameplay is better and more streamline but the story is not as good as Homeworld 1. I also wish that the ship balancing was better and that they kept the physics based hit system.

[typhooni8]

@jonharana

any idea where i can find either of them?

[jonharana]

@typhooni8 Internet? I have doubts in finding a copy of HW1 in a store since its over 10 years old, but you might be lucky to find a copy of HW2 in a bargain bin somewhere...

[typhooni8]

@jonharana

drat, well so much for a hardcopy, why are all the goodies oldies?

[gurgurud]

@typhooni8 try GOG.com

[typhooni8]

@gurgurud

darn, not there, but thanks anyways

[ThePwnaz0r]

what ever happened to the taiidan republic in this game anyway? i never got that part

[BrommaHerman]

First time I played this, I got chills when I heard "This is Fleet Command..."

[Mueiwark]

Why the hell isn't there a movie of this game. THIS is the ONLY fucking game that truly deserves a movie.

[Pandoranage4101]

Cinematic quality this is great.

[barronjordan1]

cool intro, bro

[Kallen2121]

So many memories from Sierra. You guys rocked - Homeoworld and Tribes were so fucking awesome!

[cocojumb0]

@Kallen2121 sierra was only the publisher. relic did the game

[tracerboy959]

That little part that plays at 0:21 to 0:28 always gets me.

[rajko19]

Karen S`jet is hottest mothership pilot i've ever known!

[perreterecon]

the bentusi have tentacles in theyr face, must e the only non-human descendant in this game

[Rawsawn]

i can tell you games that stretches as far back as to the C64 or Amiga 500 were equally stunning.

[zomgerln]

Such nostalgia.

This game is so incredibly atmospheric, detailed and has unparalleled gameplay.

I wish they would make a homeworld 3.

[Commanderjao]

that mans voice is amazing.

[lerokz]

The races in the Homeworld series are not Humans...Humanoids but not Humans so stop with that please..

[seeker407]

reminds me of titan A.E.

[Rattlepiece]

Homeworld forever!

Games today don't have any depth in them like Homeworld did. I will simply play these games forever, I love them. First time I played Homeworld I was only 9 years old, I loved it back then. Now I'm 18 and I still love it!

[YessMasster]

@Rattlepiece I played HW first time when I was 13. Now i'm 25 and still havn't seen better strategy game :)

[VariousEnd]

@YessMasster First played it when I was 7, easily my favorite strategy game ever... Probably wouldn't know shit if I never did.

[ojeone]

@YessMasster

go play the total war series its just as immense

[slovok]

@Rattlepiece Same here man. The only problem, is that I no longer have anything to play it on... :(

[Riael1111]

offf i wish can be able to change the hyperspace colors..........if u are a pirate and have red lasers is pretty bad to jump with a blue hypergate...........and if u fight with hiigans...........

[routhoula]

kushan are humans, taiidan are humans, vaygr are humans, there are hints that bentusi are also humans. are there actual aliens in the homeworld universe? o.O

[WarrantedFaith]

During the Homeworld credits there are some concept art drawings that look like some non-human creatures, though I don't suppose they're actually suppose to represent an intelligent race.

[keauergerkergerk]

the truanic raiders are they require siuts that carry thier atmosphere

[SerbianEmpire]

Bentusi don't look human at all, watch the cataclysm cinematic after the mission where you stop them from escaping into another galaxy. While the other three are shown in the cinematics as humans or at least as humanoids. Who knows how they look on the inside! :)

[0dis0]

The Beast

[varangianae]

they're humanoids not humans...are elves humans as well just because they have two legs two arms a head and a torso?

[SerbianEmpire]

@routhoula

The Bentusi are certainly not humans. There's a cinematic in Cataclysm where they appear as squid heads, probably humanoids connected to their ships with series of ports. The others I agree are humans, just look at the cinematics: Karan ( Hiigaran) is human, Makaan (Vagyr) is human and in Cataclysm when they show the Taiidani who is being interrogated he also appears human.

[baalnamiib]

I've neer seen cinematics, which shows a character of Turanic Raiders. As I know TR's have homeworld in the outer rim. But, In the one cinematics in the cataclysm, we can see a shadow of saboteur, which looking like a human, but I'm not sure.

[fdfederation]

Haha, I love your analysis!

[Herflik600]

@routhoula

the turanic raiders?

[WhichDoctor1]

@routhoula From what I understand, and that isn't much, everyone is human. At some point in the distant past the progenitors (also human) colonized the galaxy then some cataclysm lead to there destruction and all the people through out the galaxy were isolated. They developed there own civilizations and myths and legends grew up about the past. Then the first core was discovered and the universe was opened up again.

[routhoula]

@WhichDoctor1 in the HW wiki says that the progenitors seeded the galaxy with life. they also come from another galaxy. hulks of their ships are a rarity indicating that no war nor sudden destruction took place. they even had the time to secure their assets(sajuuk, dreadnoughts, and the lot)when they for some reason left the galaxy. they were expecting to come back but they ascended. younger civs advanced enough so that they can overcome the defenses of the progenitor secrets.

[harlequin2262]

Thematically, though, Homeworld 1 uses elements of BSG.

The way I've heard it described is the BSG fleet wanders into the Star Wars galaxy just before Alderran gets blown up.

[krisnaM205]

the concept of fleet command (karen s'jet) as a living CPU is incredibly similar to the new battlestar galactica "hybrid". I wonder if RDM got his idea of cylon hybrid from battlestar galactica.

[JOTRKID]

To my knowledge (I'd have to look this up) Homeworld 2 predates the re imagined Battlestar galactica, unless the hybrids were in TOS BSG.

[krisnaM205]

sorry, i know homeworld 2 predates reimagined BSG, i meant i wonder if Ron D Moore got his idea of cylon hybrid from homeworld 1 or 2

[Tribersman]

Well, this idea is pretty old.

Ghost in the Shell, then Matrix was the first story to have this idea especialy (no I'm not doing cheap generalisation)

Matrix in particular, the production just pretexted the machine used human as "power source" because they tough it was easier to understand for "morron" (you know, the type who couldn't understand the 1st Matrix as it is know.)

[BumLegionair]

if anyone stole its BSG lol.

good point.

[BumLegionair]

ehhhh, its sorta the other way around man, homeworld the original came out in 99 with the same concept, which to my knowledge is before even the first pilot episode of the new BSG came out, by I want to say 5 years?

[erikmann]

6 years..homeworld 2 was released in mid september 2003...homeworld original came out roughly the same time in 1999...the reimagined BSG came out with  2 hour movie in december of 2003

[erikmann]

ugh..i mean 4 years

[BumLegionair]

ok, what does homeworld 2 have to do with the original concept of fleet command being a hybrid sorta control mechanism? homeworld 1 was the originator for this concept, and I hope I dont sound redundant but that still proves that BSG if any were the ones who stole.

[weylin6]

I thought that Sierra wanted to make a game based off of BSG, but the request was denied, so they went off and did a thing from scratch, homeworld 1.

[harlequin2262]

Epic fail. The concept is an extremely generic one, not to mention the fact that Homeworld 1 predates the BGS remake.

[Commandos12]

battlecruiser opertional

[xKILLZONAx]

Kushan FTW

[xKILLZONAx]

ill play the homeworld series till i die

[jfunf]

i d say that its the best RTS since. what i like about it is that you dont have to remake the base over and over again

[Tirranek]

The Narrator is the same one from Gundam Wing. He's also the Hybrid in the BSG 'Razor' film.

[Blueoriontiger]

Oh wow, I'll check it out. :D

[ActiveStorage]

hw2 has some great cutscenes and awesome graphics but nothing can beat hw's original story

[ActiveStorage]

i guess they didnt really plan making the sequel. that's why storyline in hw2 kinda sucked

[nordicberserk]

The narration is top notch, it fits the animation PERFECT. This game has such soulfull cutscenes.

[DarthenRahl]

The guy speaking reminds me of the narrator of Gundam Wing, english version obviously, is it?

[halffliffe]

the veicle you see on th wreck site looks like th juggernaught ( turbo tank) from star wars

[dokaw]

Yeah but the Juggernaut was a pretty generic-looking vehicle to begin with, so I wouldn't pay it that much attention.

[KOAAnubis]

I Agree Darthenrahl This Video Is Amazin, Really Deep You No?

[therealdarthenrahl]

epic stuff
