This game looks cool as hell. I've owned it for years (since it was released), but I have so many RTS games that I've never actually played it. Ground Control 1-2, Supreme Commander, Hegemonia, Empires & Medieval "Total War"....all games I own, but never actually played yet.
Considering they're 4 years apart, then I do believe it does. Homeworld looked amazing when it first came out. Computer standards were different back in 1999 as well.
oh my god, I am so glad I found thisgame, I have an uncle in the states I visited, and I played this game, have been looking for the name of the game for YEARS
Honestly I find Homeworlds gameplay more attractive then EVE onlines, having played both games. Homeworld was probably the first strategy game to feature dimensional movement in space. I know that Computers more than tripled in power between the release of Homeworld and EVE online, and they are in fact different types of games.
@StarongBahd What I love about this game so much is Frickin' Ion Beams, and fact that there is a mod that lets you take control of a selected ship via Keyboard and mouse.
this game is awesome!!! I remember when I played this. Oh man. I miss this game. For being a 3D game at that time is brilliant. And It's so well made! the 3D room of the whole gaming world is HUUUUGE!!! this is one of those games there you truly is in space. I love this game 10/10!!! my cd broke some time ago. OMG I wish I could download it somewhere xD
I say we should take the shattered horizon method for space sound. Have an advanced computer in your space suite create an simulation of everything around you and put in sounds to make it seam more realistic.
What I love so much about this game is how the space combat is actually 3D. There are so many space RTSs out there that completely forget the 3D aspect of space and it just annoys me. It also makes the game get old fast.
Great video. I have had this game forever and still did not play it. I just can't seem to get the hang of RTS games. I'm going to give it another shot after watching this video. It does look like a great game.
oh guys....i was like 8 when i played a demo of this game on my dads pentium 200MMX, it was laggy as hell but man o man i wanted the game so much, best space rts game in the 90's imo :) too bad whoever didn't hear of it.
Butt it could be done realistically, for example you could hear the radio transmissions from different spacecraft which would include background sounds like engines, firing or getting hit by a weapon. Also when a craft is destroyed you would hear noise over the radio and camera could shake if its close to the ship to be hit by something, I think it would be cool
Oh, I see it now! What I meant to say was this: 'But is there supposed to be no sound in space?' I have known, since the date I can remember, that there is no sound in space. This is why I wrote the comment above. Sierra edited the logic of our world in favour of entertainment value, and I simply noted it. Anyhow, yes, it is never too late to learn. Though I truly learned nothing new here.
I've been going crazy latley, all these kids that come on here and have no idea what some of these games are. Don't get me wrong, im glad your finding them and getting enjoyment out of them as we did wehn we were younger, but it reminds me that im aging everytime i hear them say : whats Ghostbusters?? ARR how old am i ?
@Galifron I know. But still, sound would be possible by detecting the vibration on the surfaces of the ships using special apparatus, as I have stated. No medium is necessary.
@MrUssrparadox Yes, I have considered that, but it is too obvious to think long about. Perhaps the general sound of each spaceship is monitored, filtered to reduce any usual sound and transmitted to the main computer (the player's).
@kanhf0514 I know that much, but would it not be better to invent a device on the ships which detects the slightest vibration around itself and recognizes the mas sound? Something like in the first splinter cell, where the player looked at a window and could hear people beside it. I was recently thinking about what I would do if I were creating homeworld, and this was an idea. Ah, never mind. This is somewhat off-topic.
how do you speed up gameplay ? sick of waiting for the resourcer to do it's rounds. i know it can be done but can't remember what the key (s) for it where not played this game in a long time
@kanhf0514 i had the homeworld one when it came out and i accidentely found the speed up gameplay button, i now it existed coz i used it regular to speed up the harvester, ive never owned homeworld 2 so that's how i know the feature was in number 1
@sereda008 This is the conflict between being realistic and entertaining. Sure it is supposed to be no sound in space, but in terms of gameplay, noone wants to play a game with no sound.
@sereda008 also your in a suit that has oxygen in it so prolly there for you will hear sounds from inside like if u get hit you'll hear it. or maybe someone besides u get hit you'll prolly hear in my point of view
even though 1 month later here the answer: imho homeworld 2 is better than 1, since i never figured out how to navigate in HW1 in HW2 you can zoom in and zoom out, and all in all move like in any strategiy game, but in HW1 the camera is always fixed on the unit you've selected i hated that and stopped playing it after 20 minutes it might be a good game, but this is a flaw i just can't lice with
dude i can't tell if your joking or not. but in case your not joking, 1984 is when Ghostbusters came out. No offense at all though man, I think your talking about the video game, of which you would probobly be right. But most people who know what ghostbusters is, would not mention the game before the movie.
who actually mistakes the game homeworld for eve? HOW DO YOU GET THOSE FORMATIONS IN EVE XD anyway but still, homeworld is awsome, play it, and grab a handkerchief for the ending....and a fresh pair of pants just in case
Not to spam or anythign but does anyone know of a vid that can get me Homeworld 2 free? thnx, Homeworld 1 seems like a good game, never played it before thats why im going to play itfirst then try Homeworld 2
The game has a story..Gameplay and everything was fun..Who ever dislike this is youngster used to good graphic and shity gameplay..Now developer seem to ruin every new game there is..Make FallOut with same gameplay with better graphic,,Make Heros 3 with same gameplay better graphic..Please do not try new things if you are not sure what are you doing..
Fallout New Vegas did massive refinement to Fallout 3 and attempted to fix all the issues of the game. And it had worse graphics. Very few modern games just keep the exact same gameplay without refinement and just improve graphics. Just because those are the biggest sellers doesn't mean they are the only ones that exist.

This one is fully 3D, not top down. My dad used to play this so much. Beware the graveyard...
Considering they're 4 years apart, then I do believe it does. Homeworld looked amazing when it first came out.

oh my god, I am so glad I found thisgame, I have an uncle in the states I visited, and I played this game, have been looking for the name of the game for YEARS
Remember playing this on lan when it was released, the graphics were awesome back then

I love playing this, used to tear kids apart with attack bombers back in the day.

Nothing will ever beat HW1 when it comes to RTS games. I miss WON :(

this is the best game ever made...in the history of the universe.

@StarongBahd sins of the solar empire has the 3d aspect as well. its awesome
@Galifron I know. But still, sound would be possible by detecting the vibration on the surfaces of the ships using special apparatus, as I have stated. No medium is necessary.
Heeey.. I was playing StarCraft and Star Control when this came out... I was too busy to notice.
@MrUssrparadox Yes, I have considered that, but it is too obvious to think long about. Perhaps the general sound of each spaceship is monitored, filtered to reduce any usual sound and transmitted to the main computer (the player's).
my childhood game... awesome!

Ah, never mind. This is somewhat off-topic.
@teranfoong it is released in 1999, Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War is released in 2004, it doesn't make sense to compare these two games.
awsome stuff. this is EVE? right? whats the song called? cools stuff
how do you speed up gameplay ? sick of waiting for the resourcer to do it's rounds. i know it can be done but can't remember what the key (s) for it where not played this game in a long time
Looks like a remastered version is on its way
Yeah graphic-wise homeworld cant compete with EVE online. Its still a really good game
Is the music from the game? It's amazingly good!
i miss this game so much D=
@TheSisko1 This function is only in Honeworld Catalysm.
It is a very old game called Homeworld.
@sereda008 no There is no sound in space because there is no air for the sound waves to travel through
@kanhf0514 there actually is some sort of "sound" in space, its jsut that we cant hear it with our ears. now hate me for that comment :D
@sereda008 Turn off your speakers :P They probably should have an option of Full Sound, Muffled Sound, and Realistic Space Sound.
How is it that I have never played this game! I downloaded the demo back in the day, however.
@kanhf0514 there IS sound in space, but we can't observe it's existence without the air that we rely on here on earth to vibrate the sound to us
Well I'm more than well aware of that. I don't believe that excuses it from some level of comparison.
you appear to be an exception then.
@kanhf0514 i had the homeworld one when it came out and i accidentely found the speed up gameplay button, i now it existed coz i used it regular to speed up the harvester, ive never owned homeworld 2 so that's how i know the feature was in number 1
Maybe that's because Homeworld was released in 1999?
How do you hyperspace jump in skirmish? (sorry, im new to this)
im gonna get this game so how is it? is it total war-like or...
also should i get this one or HW2? cuz 2 looks better
oh lols. so its not eve online? lols. but cools stuff nonetheless. whats the song called?
cheers
I hate to correct sierra, but is there no sound in space ?!
@sereda008 This is the conflict between being realistic and entertaining. Sure it is supposed to be no sound in space, but in terms of gameplay, noone wants to play a game with no sound.
need to add more homeworld gameplay vides maby ill get it
@sereda008 also your in a suit that has oxygen in it so prolly there for you will hear sounds from inside like if u get hit you'll hear it. or maybe someone besides u get hit you'll prolly hear in my point of view
@12guynextdoor dude, what's better, goldfish or snail?
Yeah there will. Have you played starcraft?
heh, thats borderline unacceptable, i suppose part of me just doesn't want to believe that.
what is the best game ? Homeworld or Company of Heroes??
even though 1 month later here the answer:
imho homeworld 2 is better than 1, since i never figured out how to navigate in HW1
in HW2 you can zoom in and zoom out, and all in all move like in any strategiy game, but in HW1 the camera is always fixed on the unit you've selected
i hated that and stopped playing it after 20 minutes
it might be a good game, but this is a flaw i just can't lice with
I need to play u sometime.
@nWirb Even until now, I still think the graphic is acceptable.
dude i can't tell if your joking or not. but in case your not joking, 1984 is when Ghostbusters came out. No offense at all though man, I think your talking about the video game, of which you would probobly be right. But most people who know what ghostbusters is, would not mention the game before the movie.
SOOONNNGG PLEASEEEE!!!
its nothing to do with your age, the reason they dont know what ghostbusters was is that they live under a rock most of there life xD
I dont' know the name of the song, sorry.
@kanhf0514 They could have just added music.
ATTACK OF THE SPERM!!!
who actually mistakes the game homeworld for eve? HOW DO YOU GET THOSE FORMATIONS IN EVE XD anyway but still, homeworld is awsome, play it, and grab a handkerchief for the ending....and a fresh pair of pants just in case
@TheZombiePanda
Its strategy. People like you are not meant to understand it. Thats why there's games like MW1 to keep you away from the good genre :)
me gusta
THen why are you watching this video.

@aznofmusic Lol scouts
