Homeworld Intro Cutscene + Mothership Launch

*sniff* It's so beautiful...Homeworld cutscenes, despite being built on a really outdated game engine, put many professional movies to shame. This is the background story and intro for Homeworld, one of many beautifully animated cinematics one can find throghout the game.
Disclaimer: I don't own Homeworld, as cool as it would be if I did.

I have heard this music somewhere else. Does anyone know what is the track called, or who made it?

[CrimsonInquisitor]

@KarhuTheBeast The song is called Agnus Dei. It is a latin liturgical hymn set to Samuel Barber's Adagio for Strings.

"Hiigara. Our home."

It still gives me shivers.

So what happen with the "new RTS" from Relic? Is November by now and I never knew nothing about it...

[zgcentrs]

This is what happens when you don't have to dumb down every single aspect of your game to appeal to mainstream console retards.

When i played this game i salvaged almost every single enemy vessel with exception of fighters throughout the single player. It took many reloads to do so but that last mission its safe to say my fleet engulfed that joke of a sphere defense thing. This was the best game ever.

The narrator makes this video incredibly chilling. His deep and clear voice.

I played this game on a Pentium I 166 MMX overclocked to 190MHz with a Voodoo2 8MB graphic card and Yamaha sound card. I even hooked a big external speaker to existing computer speakers to act as subwoofer to enjoy this game. This was somewhere around year 2000 (and yeah, I didn't have money to buy a better computer, but the heck, it even played Le Mans 24 Hrs!) Also, the black and white cutscenes are pre-rendered video, but a quality one.

@KarhuTheBeast Samuel Barber - Adagio for strings

[TheMaster734]

i want a miniseries telling the story of homeworld. not a movie, since they'd cut out all the best bits and it'd be boring. A tv miniseries would be awesome!
