As a teenager I saw Karak burn, and the return to Higara. As a young Man I watched the seige of Higara and the age of Sejuk. Now as a man with a son I look forward to what I will see next.
*age of S'jet . The ship you are thinking of is Sajuuk
This is actually really beautiful 😭
Well said! Same here outside of having a son!
Same for me! I hope you enjoy every second!
I'm the same but I was warrior the Beast War
I played an absurd amount of Homeworld and Homeworld 2 before my vision gave out and am deriving a lot of vicarious enjoyment of HW3 through your investigations. Thanks for the awesome content.
thats terrible man i hope you're doing well.
How did you write the comment did you use brail or something
@@The_Lute777 I'd say speech to text, but the fact they wrote HW3 and not homeworld 3 compared to the first 2 times they did might show otherwise. We either got a lie on our hands or someone with just partial visual impairment not full.
@@The_Lute777 I have a Braille display on my desk but primarily work with Bluetooth keyboards paired to an iPhone to interact with TH-cam. Most of the keyboard navigation in Mac OS is the same on the iPhone, at least for someone using Apple’s VoiceOver screen reader. TTS is too cumbersome for anything with a specialized lexicon, so for a lot of work stuff or genre-related content I generally don’t even bother trying to hope dictation will figure out what I mean.
Sorry, speech to text like the other commenter said. Talking about assistive technology a lot, I am far more used to referring to text to speech synthesizers.
Homeworld is the only tactics/strategy game I've played mainly for its storyline. It's still the best space strategy game ever made.
It’s story, full of tragedy and hope has endured to be my favourite story of any game. I’d go as far to say it ranks very highly when even compared to Dune.
I love the story. Cataclysm was the first of the series I played and It was an amazing story to start off with. I agree that it's the best Space Strategy, the 3D movement was very intuitive. I loved this, Command and Conquer, Total Annihilation and Warzone 2100.
@@mamba101 It's still my favourite series because of the story too. Cataclysm and Deserts for me have the best campaigns and gameplay. It's a terrific piece of worldbuilding and has some obvious comparisons to Dune
Very good story, bud bad dialogs, have also rts called Original War
@@Mixppmix I have that on my steam wish list but have take the last step.
Homeworld: (Cataclysm) Emergence remains my top game of the series. RIP stolen Taidaan Heavy Cruiser. You carried my fleet of miners like a champion.
Laughs. How did you manage to capture a Heavy Cruiser?
Please tell me they weren't eaten by the Beast.
@@robertdrexel2043 Remember the mission where you have to escort the Caal-Shto through the Nebula? The final hurdle is a Heavy cruiser that you are suppose to destroy with Leeches. Well, you can pull the Leeches back once it's sufficiently damaged and then send Workers to yoink it. You can deal with it's escorting defenders either conventionally or Kamikazi a bunch of Mimics into them.
Just be careful in the next mission with the Beast Cruise Missiles cause it can go very badly for you real quick.
Any missions with the beast I kept that poor bastard back, couldn't bear the thought of it becoming infected and not having many ways to stop it.
Final mission. I was using bomber and fighter swarms to go for the objectives as my main fleet fought off the roaming gangs of enemies. The Beast did its surprise powerslide in before I could move out of the way, and one shot the heavy cruiser about 20 minutes into the mission. It had survived every mission up until that point acting as a spearhead, a second flagship almost, and never got infected. Not until The Beast itself, the Naggarok, devoured it.
The galaxy at large may have forgotten The Beast, but Kiith Somtaaw remembers.
"Kingdom Hearts 2 has SCREWED US AGAIN!" -the captain of the Kuun-Lan, after discussing the matter with Lord Mandalore
I don't understand the reference. Like, I saw mandalore's video, so that part I understand. But what does the line "Kingdom Hearts 2 has SCREWED US AGAIN!" actually mean?
@@realityveil6151 I don't really know either. It was just so out-of-pocket to hear the Captain of the Kuun-Lan say that in the video. I don't know if Mandy reached out to him on Fiver or something, but the Captain's delivery absolutely SLAYED.
That all said, my guess would be a joke that Kingdom Hearts has convoluted lore or something, and the Captain was trying to piece the lore together in his spare time.
@@GmodPlusWoW thats same explonation i can only think of.
@@GmodPlusWoW its actually from an old commercial with the same VA ( i think) as the captain doing the lines. The commercial was parodying household presidential discussions by replacing the candidate names with games instead iirc
Karan S'Jet is lisan al gaib
serriusly Homeworld and Dune music has same vibe
As written!
She didn't Lease an Al Gaib, she outright stole half the Taiidan fleet
Deserts of Karak is really rad, highly recommend it!
Dune didn't have *_Yes_* doing a falsetto endtheme.....
S'jet al Gaib!
Honey, cancel all my appointments for tonight, a new Templin Institute kino just dropped
>Riesstiu dead and the Taiidan Empire dead and fractured. Taiidan Republic actually does fare better.
>The Beast slain by Somtaaw.
>Makaan dead. Vaygr routed.
Only wondering where Karan got lost...
BTW, Homeworld Cataclysm/Emergence is Canon. Blackbird themselves stated it on Twitter/X. Mentioned it multiple times.
I’m personally wondering where the heck they put my boy Sajuuk
Probably closely studied and picked apart in a dockyard by an army of scientists
Oh man, you gave a curt explanation by the lack of acknowledgement of that little incident called the Beast War in Homeworld 2.
The fact it got mentioned at all though is appreciated
considering the game is basically vaporware because of copyright tensions and poor stewardship, we’re lucky we even got that
In the free demo of Homeworld 3 back in February, there were some little nods to Cataclysm and kinda makes it canon.
During the tutorial some of the ships that showed up to help you had Somtaww emblems, and some ships that show up by the end of it had the beast slayer emblem.
@@VaygrX The Somtaaw are also mentioned and their emblem shown in deserts of kharak. And parts of its lore can bee seen elsewere. All the stuff about Riestiu IV the second and the Taiidan Republic comes from the Cataclysm manual. So it is definitively canon.
@@VaygrX Not only that, but the support frigates and resource controllers in HW3 look very somtaaw like as well.
By far and away one of my favourite game franchises, I still have original disk version somewhere. I always found the numbers to be a bit off though. 600,000 people doesn't seem to be nearly enough to establish and maintain an empire.
I think it kind of works since they reconsidered their Homeworld. Since the Emperor got killed in orbit they didn’t need to do any damage to the planet with ground operations. This meant that the millions living there would have been integrated into the new Hiigaran society.
I can’t believe Homeworld 3 is a thing. It’s been so long since I’ve seen this game series come back like this. I look forward to seeing what happens next for the people of Higara.
LMAO epic you included the War of the Beast.
I was wondering if they were going to add that because cataclysm isn't technically canon
@@TheFallenFaob That has been speculated to be a false rumor. Homeworld: Deserts of Kharak depicted the Kiith Somtaaw clan logo in a cutscene, and even some concept art of Homeworld 3 (or might have been a cutscene) suggests the Kith Somtaaw logo now with the Beast Slayer symbol. It's a nod to Cataclysm. :)
@@TheFallenFaobcataclysm is cannon. The beast slayers emblem is in HW3
Kith Somtaaw was already around but it wasn't until the table top RPG homeworld Revelations came out that cataclysm was considered canon
@@TheFallenFaob Cataclysm is very much canon, Revelations mentions it, you can see the beast slayer emblem in HW3 and the Beast war is even mentioned in the new VR game's storyline
25:47 Well, a weird way to learn her death for me ! ^^
(Secretly I'm glad to know she won't be the protagonist of ANOTHER Homeworld game).
Well you are just meeting her daughter now
Tbh I never thought, in 2024 I would get a sequel to one of my fave games of all time. In the quarter century since getting that first beta disc and the subsequent three games, my reflexes are not what they used to be but I am so happy to come back to this universe.
Last two years we're awesome for old gamers. BG3... Another Baldurs Gate, another entry in the series that wrote the Rules of cRPGs and ... Made them Mainstream again? JA3..jagged alliance 3... IT got the JA Feeling Back! And now homeworld 3, haven't finished IT yet but ITS damn good so far.
Makaan wasn't killed at the Battle of the Balcorra Gate, he was killed at the Battle of Balcorra
Well, aktchewally
🤓☝️
There is a fantastic fan theory that the Progenitors are the people of Earth that expanded throughout the universe.
Also, I wonder if we will see the Beast again but mutated to be even more dangerous.
Beast is not canon unfortunately:( best storyline and characters IMO
@@kenserhoofjeWdym? They've said it's Canon in the new VR game and we have the Beast slayer logo in HW3
The fact that the progenitors are human (or at least, that they brought the humans from earth to the homeworld galaxy) is basically canon. The homeworld galaxy is NOT the milky way, but another real galaxy, and every faction known (kushans, taiidans, vaygr) are at least partially human. The only race known to possess the capability of intergalactic travel to bring humans from the milky way are the progenitors. There are additional clues: for example, in homeworld 2, when activating the progenitor dreadnaught, s'jet comments that their systems are very similar to their own
I hate humans as a progenitor species. It's lazy storytelling
Sajuk is just the name of the defense contractor slapped on the side of the hyperdrive. Like Lockheed or Mitsubishi lol
Homeworld is still one of the greatest franchises in video game history and is still a fun game to play all these years later.
All this lore from a game that couldn't get the license to Battlestar Galactica. So they filed the serial numbers off and mashed it up with Dune.
Brilliant.
Been waiting for Templin to cover more about Homeworld for a long while! But still, I hope Marc's health has been improving =w=
Homeworld is the series I've always wanted to play, but kicks my butt so hard I can't get past the tutorials on easy.
Try low difficulty maybe?
@@andrewjennings7306 tell me you didn't read my comment without telling me you didn't read my comment.
I'll admit that my 20 year old brain could handle things far better than when replayed it during the remaster. It has adaptive difficulty rather than set units. If you are too bold or too efficient it will lay the smackdown on you. On my first playthrough of HW1 i scraped through the missions. On a later playthrough I captured a Heavy Cruiser and took it to the next mission. When I explored the nebula I found 4 heavy cruisers waiting for me. If you can get hold of Cataclysm (Emergence) it has the best structured campaign.
Bring Sajuuk to bear, Bring Sajuuk to bear, BRING SAJUUK TO BEAR!!!
Do we know if the bear ever got his Sajuuk?
*Long live the BEAST!*
Nice cliffhanger, thanks for the refresher of Homeworlds Lore!
Our pleasure!
When its all nicely summarised like this, the story of Homeworld 1-3 truly is an epic tale of tragedy, conquest and discovery.
HW Cataclysm/Emergence is still the most unique RTS game I ever played and will always remember.
Remember THE BEAST.
5TH TRY: ADVENT Administration
I second this
This series inspired my entire career in Neuroscience XD.
This transmission received from 1999 is now hit another milestone in decryption. Being among the first to worship Sajuuk. we have a unique experience with the time between each installment truly feels like the vast expanse of history.
I CAN'T wait to play Homeworld 3, i may not have been there since the release of Homeworld 1 but I've pkayed the remastered, Deserts of khara. The lore, the univerese of Homeworld is just so good, the ship designs, the lorenof each race or the khitids, the music is just sooooo *chef's kiss* Though it may take a while to try the game due to financial reasons but i cant wait till i try the game out.
Love this, the most complete story on youtube, well done!
Very clever reference to Homeworld: Cataclysm, which was a spinoff game made by a third party. The records of those events in that game were "sealed" and are top secret, and the franchise has basically pretended it never happened. It was nice to see the reference.
Nice short reminder about Homeworld Cataclysm.
And I know, they said it's canon (some say it's not) and that the story is wierd with Cataclysm story included.
But, my own head canon is, that yes they suppresed the details about the Beast Infection, because the Kushan/Hiigarans just returned home and promised things will be different and better.
Only moments later to unleash something that could have destroyed the entire galaxy.
Like someone who crashed cars multiple times, being put on the sidelines and when they say they got better at driving, crashes the car immediately.
Pretty sure the other factions would have been like : "Yeah, you're going on exile again."
I'm glad the whole beast conflict was just a footnote...
Man not gonna lie, probably don’t want to see them in a modern game. Hearing the screams of crewmen as a ship gets converted into a meat missile would probably get this game an m rating.
@@StofenThe1st I've said in a few comments that Cataclysm was the first of the series I played. The screams for help were chilling and got me emotionally invested in the game.
I guess they delayed the game for my sake cause it's coming out on my birthday and I am pretty hyped to play.
Maybe I can represent some kiith Paktu. "I can smell the sea. it's only a little farther."
Bought a copy! Awesome refresher and cant wait to play it
It's interesting that the first game (HW1) not only made no mention of Sajuuk or the Progenitors (and not really any religious themes either), but also didn't include the 3 Far-Jump cores at all. Originally the core the Kushan (ex-Hiigaran) used to get off the planet was just a regular hyperspace core with no real significance beyond letting them leave their planet. The story of HW1 was decidedly non-mythical and devoid of any 'special' ancient tech.
It was HW2 that added all of the mythical ancient history to the Homeworld 'verse, as well as changing the core the Kushan found on their planet from a regular core to one of the 3 special Far-Jump cores. And Deserts of Kharak really bent the otherwise hard science of HW1 into one steeped in religion and myth. The narrative differences between HW1 and the rest (can't speak for Cataclysm) are actually quite remarkable.
Personally I wish they had stayed with the HW1 narrative, it was much more reliant on basic science and Kushan ingenuity to move the plot forward. I still like HW2 and Deserts, but I think the religious and mythic themes were not really necessary and dumb-down the whole narrative. I'd rather they had just stuck with the hard science and not this 'ancient holy tech' mumbo jumbo.
So is this the end of the "Is Cataclysm/Emergence canon" argument if Gearbox paid you to make this?
HW Cataclysm has been cannon for a while now, the Beast slayers emblem is in HW3
Universe looks interesting, hope we’ll see more videos on Homeworld.
amazing job!!
This video has to be mandatory watching before playing Homeworld 3! Than you Templin Institute for your great work here.
homeworld: you're not of this world
homeworld catalysm: does not exist because bizzard
homeworld 2: you're going to get wrekked repeatedly
Missed an important fact, they found materials that were not from the solar system, which gave them the backings and made them pursue the primary anomaly, thus finding the hyperspace core.
Great video, thx ☺️
awesome video :D :D love the HW series
I always thought that Sajuuk was a terraformer. It was hilarious to me that your stronger warship, like a thousand time better than everything you had, was a Progenitor’s tractor 🤣 , even if homeworld is not very consistent with progenitor’s tech
Never liked abandoning the mothership in the last mission of homeworld 2; she'd got us through the whole game, but then got tossed aside because we had an upgrade?
Well we needed Sajuuk urgently to save Hiigara. But I do feel bad for leaving it behind. But without a hyperspace core we couldn't have recovered it anyway
@@admiralmallard7500 oh I agree. It was justified in universe but on a meta level it was disappointing to see the ship that'd got me through the game get cast aside for something that looked like a dead branch.
Besides I thought the reason the three cores were so powerful was because they could summon other ships too them; that's what I thought the pre-exile Bentusi seemed to be doing, at least.
@Tarotb Bentusi only ever had 1 core but I see your point, makes the moment more dramatic though.
Another factor is without Karan the mothership doesn't really work other than being a giant space station.
@@admiralmallard7500 true: sorry somehow I had the idea a core could pull ships from elsewhere to your location, but no matter, I still wish we could have pulled the mothership into the final mission. Maybe send her off by having her act as a barrier for the world ender missiles.
Oh absolutely, I feel bad for leaving it behind
There's a perfectly usable and salvageable mothership drifting near a black hole cluster where Sajuuk was found, why the heck no one has sent a team to recover it? A fully working mothership with foundries and shipyards ready to be put in use would be an amazing asset. 🙀
The Vaygr are too fractured to do that and i dont think Higaara needed it since the mothership no longer has a hyperdrive core?
@@henrycooper3431 True, but no core doesn't stop everything else from working or from towing the ship, think of it, how long it takes to build one mothership, just discarding it, is insane in so many levels. Food for thought, in HW Cataclysm prologue in the manual, they used the 1st mothership as an orbital shipyard around Higara after the war to rebuild the home fleet. ✌
@@LoneTiger yeah she would have been such a good shipyard to have
Can you Please make videos on homeworld deserts of kharak
All of this has happened before... All of this shall happen again...
In the remaster
There's something special about playing from desperate desert coalition to pan-galactic powerhouse
The Beast War barely gets a mention :(
We are lucky it even got mentioned at all. :(
As always, I am always a fan of the villains. The bad guys get all the cool stuff and got that villain swag, lol. The Galceans and Vaygr are no different. And these new guys looks like a combination of the Taiidan and the Vaygr. So looking forward to H3
I love this universe
I love the worldbuilding too.
Amazing video! Thank you for putting it togeather! I have only played HW 1, 2 and Deserts, but loved the games. I personally really did not like the feel of HW3, but I am excited to see where they take the story!
Just a few more days!!!
A bit of a shame the Developers apparently removed the Beast from History. I mean they are annihilated and that is good so, but the journey of the Kith Somtaw and their Warship Kunlan sure is a nice story.
It's still Canon though?
@@admiralmallard7500 I dunno.
As far as I know, the main line games pretend the Beast Arc never happened and only mention the Kith Somtaw once or twice in Homeworld 2.
@TurKlack True but the beast war has been mentioned in the VR game now and the Beast hunter emblem is in HW3
The artstyle of the 'UI' of the templin institute is very similar to the UI in Hw2
I love this game
Already have my copy :)😊
Thank you Templin and Gearbox for sorta making Cataclysm canon!
This is awesome! I love lore! I love Homeworld! I love lamp!
Kiith Somtaaw stands ever ready. The Beast will find no easy prey should it reappear!
I have always thought that the lack of City Ruins or other habitable structures left behind by the Progenitors signified that they were part of a larger fleet or armada building outposts and hyperplane gates throughout the universe. When they arrived in the Whirlpool Galaxy, they likely conducted research and scanned known sectors while building jump gates and hyper gates in various parts of the galaxy, much like the Ancient Lanteans in Stargate. However, something must have spooked them or interrupted their survey, and they left suddenly, leaving many of their megastructures incomplete or partially finished.
These incomplete structures degraded over thousands of years and were eventually discovered by the homeworld races, such as the Bentusi, who were the first interstellar civilization to travel the Whirlpool Galaxy. The fact that all races in the galaxy are human suggests that the Progenitors may have seeded life using their genome as a template.
While the Progenitors were only a Type 2 civilization, which is inferior to the Forerunner Type 3.8/9 civilization in HALO, or the Megalithic Enigmatic civilization in Mass Effect Andromeda, which is a Type 3.0/1 civilization, they should have left behind remnants of their civilization, such as cities or space habitats throughout the galaxy.
Where are you coming up with the these type # civilizations?
@@deviantMystro In the realm of hypothetical science, it is widely accepted that advanced civilizations can be grouped into three types based on their ability to build and generate energy to sustain their civilization.
Type 1 civilizations possess the ability to control everything in their world by utilizing advanced technology similar to that depicted in Star Trek. Type 2 civilizations, on the other hand, possess the capability of constructing Megastructures and generating colossal amounts of energy by means such as the Progenitor. Finally, the most advanced Type 3 civilizations can build Gigastructural Objects, comprehend the fundamental Laws of Physics and other Laws of the Universe, travel through Intragalactic Space, and manipulate their Home Galaxy or other Galaxies at will, reminiscent of the Forerunners.
There are undoubtedly more advanced types of civilizations, which can only be described as god-like ancient races. I can cite a few examples like the Xeelee from the Xeelee Sequence Novel (a Type 5 or 6 Civilization), The Precursors from HALO (a Type 8 to 10 Civilization), or The Downstreamers from The Manifold Trilogy Novel (a Type 11 to 15 Civilization). Nonetheless, I won't delve too deeply into these civilizations, as they are way beyond our understanding.
"At least hypothetically."
Why is It called homeworld 3 and not giant blue banana/croissant in space?
Because in Homeworld one you could choose one of 2 factions to play entire game as Kushan or Taiidan. So in theory they there interchangeable. And only real difference I remember was one support ship drone or shield frigate and design of ships.
Cataclysm is canon now, yayyyy
20:00 Comparing the Vaygr from Homeworld with the *Vargr* in Marc Miller's Traveller RPG (1977-present) yields interesting results. The latter, a decentralized civilization of canine-like creatures, also have a raiding culture. They possess an instinctive focus on personal magnetism and charisma, which they refer to in the Gvegh language as kfaegzoukhin. Vargr seek to improve kfaegzoukhin for self-actualization as they interact with foreign beings, seek a good position in the social order, try to find mates, and attempt to influence their peers.
You have used a Turanic Raiders music theme when telling a Progenitors story, while The Progenitors have their own music theme.
Regardless, thank you for this video.
Karan's immortality isn't quite because of the Second Core, it was a result of her process of becoming 'Unbound', as all Navigators are, but yes, becoming Unbound is required in order to interface properly with the cores. The Bentusi were considered to be an 'Unbound species'.
love me some homeworld lore !
13:50 "Before an era of scientific progress and logical thought"
I.E. Before Kiith S'Jet curbstomped everyone into stopping their wars and forcibly forming a council of nations !
It was Kiith Nabaal
@@ptajimura You sure ? to me Nabaal only came to the forefront AFTER the discovery, since everyone suddenly needed spaceships, the shipbuilding Kiith became a powerhouse overnight...
S'jet however was the scientific Kiith. During the religious wars, they were only known for showing up to besieged cities and asking for books so they wouldn't be destroyed. THEN they showed up using gunpowder when everyone were still fighting with swords, and subsequently put all the religious Kiith in agreement that they didn't want to get stomped !
@@pierre-mariecaulliez6285 according to official history, Nabaal got tired of Heresy Wars and started a unification conquest, offering technology to towns that surrendered and agreed to stop participating in heresy wars.
"We are being overrun!"
I was 16 when Homeworld 1 was released. Homeworld 2 I was 20. Both I played with my older borther. Homeworld was one of things that formed our bond. He sadly died in 2020 unexpectedly.
Now I am 41 and are totally ready for this. I never play games anymore, but to honour my brother I am gonna play Homeworld 3 until every last Ru is mined and ship is captured. I will bring Sajuuk to bear! Rest in peace my brother.
I'm not sure that there's a lot of different _species_ in the Homeworld galaxy. Everyone we've seen so far was some variety of human. Taiidan, Hiigaran, probably the Bentusi and all the others too. Everyone looks like a human maybe with some odd skin tones here and there. I'm pretty sure the Progenitors were human as well, and all the other nations are their direct descendants. The only genuine non-human alien intelligence in the series was the Beast...
They wanted to purge the Galaxy from the human scourge that infested it
I have yet to get into the homeworld games universe but it is on my list.
If were you I would be tempted to play Deserts of Kharak first. It a newer game but the first chronologically, I think it has an awesome campaign even though Homeworld is mainly known for space combat.
Wasn’t tracking a home world 3 game.
But I’m not preordering or doing early access anymore
I’ll wait a few months for all the bugs to get ironed out.
i really hope the 13 ep of homeworld has some sort of story to tell.
While the early Hiigs were not the good guys, the Taiidan were real SOB's and also more or less controlled the Galactic Council in the early days. The Hiigs were being depowered and screwed over which is why they attacked the Taiidan homeworld. sm
☝️🤓
Nice.
Kiith Somtaaw would like to remind everyone to not go rooting around in ancient tech if they don't know what they're doing.
What do the other "species" in homeworld look like? We have only ever seen the human looking higarans.
Things got screwy, so Karan went to see the manager.
after 20 years, we're finally coming home
Fleet Command, Online
I understand why home world cataclysm isn’t cannon but that doesn’t mean I can’t still miss it.
Vagyr Ships Propulsion where protected by 2 huge blast doors which in genius and a tactical advantage during space battles if u ask me.
I don't like how they made intergalactic travel possible. Storytellers never really seem to understand how immense a galaxy actually is. Sure, we have a gate network to get us around but it would still take hundreds of thousands of years to consider even a single galaxy as 'explored'.
You don't need a new galaxy in the story, the galaxy you already have is big enough
Agreed,
opening up into intergalactic travel is almost too large of a scale.
The story has to keep upping itself and starts spilling over into even more absurd levels of story telling in order to match the vastness and grandeur it's trying to cover.
Just like a story being told over a series of books, you start out with a small village origin and end up with a global sized overarching story that tries to encapsulate every nation and every character and the story can end up lost in the constant expanding.
23:27 I'm just now realizing Vagyr sounds a lot like Vader.😮
Neat
Placing all bets on the Anomaly's identity here!
i have on question left why thy scraped Sajuk ?? just why Thy had the bigest Progenitor Ship in the galaxi whit a phasd aray that can on shot most enemy ship why did thy had to scrap it and put the cores intos tha Car Sajuk ? and What hapend to the progenitor Dreadnought ?
Wait, so are the events of Cataclysm/Emergence considered somewhat canon now?
Apperently you met 2 carriers in a demo gameplay, one of which have the Beast Slayer emblem on their hull? I didnt play it so take this info with a grain of salt
I hope the extra time that BBI took will pay off. Homeworld 3 has a huge story to live up to
If you haven't already you should do a cataclysm video (screw you blizzard) great game and story and deserves more than just a foot note.
I hope the bentusi return.
Some escaped to another galaxy during Cataclysm so a few at least are out there somewhere.
I should play the Homeworld games again...
It's curious how in sci-fi titles such Homeworld and Halo etc, there are these ancient and long forgotten highly advanced civilizations. All accomunated by the same traits with small differences.
In Homeworld for example Progenitors, thought the use of such Hyperspace cores, are able to travel through the while galaxy in an instant. And this might look more advanced.
But Forerunners too, that looks apparently less advanced since their hyperspace technology takes days or even weeks to travel the same distances, is able to move much more than simple ships.
Imnense megastructures can be moved and if the Forerunners wanted, they could have moved even planets or stars since the mass they was able to drive was of that scale.
It might be the space (speculation) also for the Progenitors.
But still both these civilizations are no match for the (Halo) civilization of the Precursors.
Not only able to seed the whole universe and create life from nothing, but even able to move objects of immense mass (or create them from nothing) through both space and hyperspace in instants with their hyper advanced technology.
I'm definitely fashinated and partially obsessed with such advanced and lost civilizations... that's also why I'm a bit disappointed with Homeworld 3... No explanations given about the Progenitors.
Maybe the developers have yet to "develop" anything concrete about such important piece of the puzzle? It's unrealistic, otherwise their games will show incongruences about the ruins and the technology showed in the game.
So they have just decided to not show anything new.

Me when i burn the carrots. " Karak is burning "
By any chance could you make videos about Armored Core Universe?
