Cataclysm is still my favorite
Homeworld was epic, but adding the Beast makes it epic _and_ terrifying
I wish there was a game where we'd got to see the Taiidan perspective. I feel that the story of Captain Elson who turned from Taiidan Imperial to rebel or something similar would work well in a protagonist role.
They had to deal with a lot while the Kushan were on their own voyage.
For a while I've really wanted a Homeworld RTTS game (Real Time Tactical Stealth, like Shadow Tactics or Desperadoes) that could give us a closer look at the people of the setting while still being somewhat related to the RTS gamepley. I was thinking of something involving inter-kith politics either pre-HW1 on Kharak, or afterwards on Hiigara but now that you mention it, the Taidan Civil war could also be a really good basis for a game like that.
00:46 Imperial Battle sounds confident, steady, you can almost hear the authority and royal scent from it. However, in Cataclysm 10:10 Taiidan battle they were defeated, scattered, broken, severed from their emperor and hence descended into semi-madness and rage, even helping a space monstrosity in exchange for a surreal promise that to restore their empire. The succession of instruments from the two tracks and the utterly different emotion they try to deliver is a masterpiece. Cataclysm's soundtrack in terms of the "space feel" is on par with the original HW, and it's an eternal shame that the game didn't get a remake and its soundtrack was never released.
Sadly, Cataclysm's Source Code is lost to us, at least for now... Hopefully one day it shall come back into the light and be found, just as that Dev Kit with the Halo 2 builds on it was and the cut Halo CE stuff and stuff from before Halo was an FPS, if the hard drives containing various Lego Games files can be found so too can Cataclysm's Source Code.
Funnily enough, I think in Imperial Transmission the man speaking is a Soviet announcement, and from what I was able to discern, the announcement is about Yuri Gagarin being the first man in space. I might be wrong tho
that is what I have heard others say.
Native speaker here. Yeah that's right, now its sounds super scary
I can even suggest that, if theory about Progenitors being actually humans from our Earth, Taiidans mostly are descendants from Russia and nearby countries.
@@mixail267 genuinely interested, why do you believe that to be the case?
@@countrygeneralbecause of this distorted transmission about successful Yuri Gagarin's space flight. There isn't much sense here, I agree, but I can't throw thought out of mind if it happens. Or you are talking about that theory that Progenitors are earthlings? If so, that theory isn't even mine, I just saw it on Homeworld Wiki.
The outskirts of Kadirr (13:07) makes me think of the region of space being haunted and if I remember correctly that's when the The Beast is turning people into bio-warheads.
Yup, that's the one where you have to protect the civilian convoys from the bio-warhead attacks from the Beast.
Locations Unknown was one of the more creepiest ost’s I’ve heard in the HW games. Very alien, sinister and terrifying. A fitting theme reminding us the idea of deep space is terrifying
If (as people seem to have a consensus on) the imperial transmission is a distorted speech about Yuri Gagarin then I think the purpose in Homeworld is to let it sound like a propaganda speech of the eeevil Taiidan Empire. Certainly succeeds to give that feeling.
Ya know, given the swords in the Imperial Battle background I get the feeling that the Taiidan prefer Melee Combat during boarding actions...
Yea In my imagination the Taiidan prefer Melee Combat too.
@@PraetorPaktu Must make boardings, or any fight really, very chaotic.
I think in sci fi boardings often forgotten that boarding is comitted with a goal in mind. And that is to conquer a ship most of the time. Who knows how much vital innards of a ship can be destroyed if both sides went in there all guns blazing. I think melee, as outdated as it might soudn for a sci fi universe, is a risky but viable option to fight in ships.
For me it fits them perfectly, a stagnant empire not embracing innovation would be fitting to use a melee weapons
@@catisbetterthandog4688 melee can be devastating if you have an overwhelming advantage to get in close; a modern soldier would be helpless against an old time warrior in close combat. I'm thinking really good shields and/or speed augments
One day they will remake Cataclysm
We shall pray for that day.
It's impossible. Those morons at Relic lost the entire source code for Cataclysm because someone accidentally wiped out the hardrive that contained it.
@@zeonmx With AI, just start again from scratch!
The real protagonists of the first game.
hmm.
Yeahhhhh... no.
@@luker2693 Technicaly they could be chosen in Classic HW1 as protagonists. In lorewise they are the real heroes because they wanted prevent atrocious Homeworld 3 plot to happen :D
LONG LIVE EMPEROR RIESSTIU!!
@@Drake77Warlord I’m actually pretty new to Homeworld, started the Remastered Collection a few days ago. It’s incredible.
How could they have screwed up so badly with HW3?

In short: very terrible villain, weird retcons and lots of giant fetishism in cutscenes
0:00 USSR Sputnik
yes
That background for imperial battle is sick, where did you get it?
Homeworld revelations - One of the images there. when this video came out it was brand new
How come you decided to re-make it?
Btw, nice pic with Kudaark docking with a Resource Controller, lol. :D
The old one did not have a lot of songs.
@@PraetorPaktu, well, you did a nice work.
Just a quick question to anyone who sees this, is the taiidan insignia based on a skull? The cheekbones and nose in particular
not really, but i understand.
@@PraetorPaktu i would like to ask the artists who made it
@@PraetorPaktuit is in one cutscene in desert of kharak
@@Sorinoir I think they were talking about the Taiidan insignia itself. not the Gaal's base cutscene.
Wtf? Imperial Transmission have a russian voiceline
Idk why
@@PraetorPaktu It's most likely they didn't actually write and record the audio for what the Imperial announcement was supposed to be, and so just took stock audio from the public domain, distorted it, and hoped nobody would notice.
Там по русски рассказывают про первого человека космонавта если что...
0:06 - 0:48 its russian language...
It says about the first human in space
@@swordgem1623 yeah, i know
