I was kinda hoping for a second that they made a second game where instead of tearing things apart in space, you used vehicles to help you tear down crashed ships. Maybe even larger models. Either way, it’s nice to see them mix it up in this shipbreaker world.
@@BeardedGuy_TawhidHardware ship breaker was the predecessor to hard space:ship breaker. Hardware was a strategy or mmo if I remember correctly. Hardware would goes on to become the game Home world:deserts of kharak,per contract of acquiring the home world ip.Which was out for a few years now.
I actually think this would work really well as a narrative companion to Deserts of Kharak set in the first person where you're basically a minor Kushan character experiencing the buildup to the discovery of the stone and the hyperspace core. Perhaps the gameplay is fairly similar to a shipbreaker game but in (mostly) gravity and on derelicts you have to partially dig up, and you advance in your career until you're sent on a very high priority top secret assignment as the last mission, and it turns out to be that you're one of the guys personally uncovering the core. Perhaps you are 'lucky' enough to live the 60 years it takes to build the mothership in a post credits scene afterwards...before the burning of Kharak
That sounds like the game I want to play, but unfortunately this is something completely different. Hardspace Shipbreaker Hardware Shipbreaker I know it's similar, but this game is actually an RTS with troop units. Nothing at all like Hardspace, which unfortunately got permission to use such a similar name.
This could have more potential as it could blend in 'life sim' and 'isekai' elements from a person's point of view. That would be more personable. Then they experience the military build up...
Actually, this is closer to the original idea. I read in a magazine I think ages ago about an upcoming game that was made by the HW devs. It was supposed to be set on a desert planet and you would be excavating starships iirc. And while they didn't say it was in the HW universe or not. They did say there would be certain ships that fans of the series would recognize. Gonna have to find that article.
@@HorizonSniper__ Nah, it was Hardware 11+ years ago, and almost immediately turned into Homeworld Deserts of Kharak. Only later BBI made Shipbreakers appear again with HSSB. But the idea is good, I've already stated that BBI should do Submarine Titans 2, and Hardwater: Shipbreakers would fit that line :)
@@HorizonSniper__ more or less safe to consider Hardware here, the "Alpha" for Deserts of Kharak. They wanted to make the game a Homeworld game to begin with, but if I recall right, there was some sort of issue with the IP holders at the time that was later resolved and DoK was released. Otherwise, we'd have gotten Hardware: Shipbreakers instead.
@HorizonSniper__ This was what became Deserts. When Gearbox got a hold of Homeworld in the Sierra-vivendi sell off, it was reworked into a Homeworld prequel when BBI took them on as a publisher. It also was originally going to be a squad based instanced mmo where you could discover new landmarks and name them.
HW3 missed basically EVERYTHING because they reworked the narrative elements to fit the "modern audience" and abandon long time fans for whatever reason I don't care about.
People... READ, already. Came here to comment that this was the original concept trailer for the game that *became* Homeworld: Deserts of Kharak, but it's already right there in the video description.
I can't believe you posted this video. I got it sitting on my ssd for years, and yet you got lots of views in a few days. I'm sitting on a gold mine all this time and im shaking my head lol
I really like this idea! And I'm intrigued. But there is something bothering me that I don't understand -- when they have a comprehensive Prospector's Guide, how is it that the Kalesh site was there for a century, and that they are the first ones there? I would think with so much money in salvage, the planet would have had, very early on, an entire planet-wide survey conducted by a large constellation of satellites, and that AIs would be examining anything that could even begin to look like a ship or ship debris.
Damn This could be epic if they would ever make it into an DLC. Sadly the Homeworld 3 was such a massive dissapointment that even pirates wont touch it. Sooo I still have and apettite unsated.
This was the original game name for wat became homeworld deserts of Karak. The lead writer made 2 stories on called hardware of with the homeworld prequel. Blackbrid then tryed to buy back the homeworld rights but lost out to Gearbox. At which gearbox when to black bird and asked them to make a new game in the homeworld series. At which point the lead writer came out with his story. A bit later to honour the first games concept blackbird moved it to space and called it hardspace : shipbrakers set in its own ip.
This is so confusing. I saw the base runner and thought "clearly, this must be some sort of mistake? Hardspace Shipbreaker isnt set in the Homeworld universe!"
You know, if I had a nickel for every game named "Hard[...]: Shipbreaker" I would have 2 nickels, which is not a lot, but it's weird it happened twice.
Oh Deserts of Kharak was a nice little game, good story, liked the units and so on, but it was lacking when it came to the side content. Making a new game in the same style seems kind of nice.
I mean... We got the entire Remastered collection and deserts of Kharak for free, AND we got the money we put into Hardware Shipbreakers back. Three games for free was a pretty neat trade for Hardware shipbreakers. Though yes, I also would've actually liked this game actually explored and made.
@@Mirvra it's a viable project, assuming they get rid of the woke writers that were responsible for the hw3 campaign. An rts game that's somewhat similar to how battletech plays, merc company going around doing different jobs (whether it's salvage or military in nature) would be a good way to play it.

More of ideological prequel to it :) It's something that converted into Homeworld: Deserts of Kharak, and borrow the original name to Hardspace: Shipbreakers
Not a big RTS guy but ive watched vids of desert of kharak and thought it was neat. Always loved scavenger games and was hoping this would be more like Hardspace but with the Kharak theme. Im curious, once you beat the enemy, do you just sit there and wait for a salvage meter to fill up or do you get to salvage stuff in first person at any point? Or, is it just once you beat the enemy you've won?
I'm sorry to say that this game was supposed ro be released as its own universe before being absorbed into Homeworld universe in 2013 before it was turned into HW:DoK.

@@homeworld2evolution ну, Ремастер был на плечах Жиробаксов, их разрабы по моддерам ходили, скрипты стреляли; Дезерты - это переделанная мобилка Hardware, наверное, поэтому такой ублюдочный моддинг; ХВ3 - вот за это их можно пинать Но ведь у ББИ был еще Hardspace: Shipbreakers - небольшой но симпатичный проект; Earthless тоже... Мне кажется, что проблема ББИ всё же в том, что изначальный костяк команды - мобильщики и казуальщики, а они ХВ захотели делать. Вот пусть бы они забирали ХВМ, а вот ХВ3 нормальным стратежникам отдали.
Не знаю о мобильщиках и казуальщиках, но я помню лично что перед стартом работы над Homeworld3 , было релизнуто видео где с гордостью утверждалось, что ХВ3 будут делать именно авторы предыдущих серий Homeworld, у которых будет полная творческая, никем не ограниченная свобода. Причем этих людей было больше двух. Кроме Роба Каннингема и Аарона Камбеитза, там утверждалось и о других. По-факту я думаю все это оказалось банальной ложью.

Ship Graveyard Simulator 2 is kinda H:S but on Earth, but without the style and polish and story. It might scratch the itch, tho.

I don't know why Black Bird Interactive is sleeping on Hardspace: Shipbreakers. I'd love to have a sequel.
they've only really been finished with it for a year or two. From conception to now I'd guess the game took about 12 years to develop in its entirety.
I'd love a sequel or even simple mod compatibility so modders can make their own ships for us to breakdown.
Imagine being able to dismantle luxury star cruisers, or maybe super sized ships like Star Destroyers from Star Wars

@@AmDDReds они бы и сделали то, что сделали. Хардваре - это просто наименование другое. После релиза Homeworld3, с уверенностью могу сказать, что BBI - студия бездарей. Мне не понравился ни Хомеворлд Ремастер, Ни Дезертс Кхарак, ни Хомеворлд 3.
@@homeworld2evolution ну, Ремастер был на плечах Жиробаксов, их разрабы по моддерам ходили, скрипты стреляли; Дезерты - это переделанная мобилка Hardware, наверное, поэтому такой ублюдочный моддинг; ХВ3 - вот за это их можно пинать
Но ведь у ББИ был еще Hardspace: Shipbreakers - небольшой но симпатичный проект; Earthless тоже... Мне кажется, что проблема ББИ всё же в том, что изначальный костяк команды - мобильщики и казуальщики, а они ХВ захотели делать. Вот пусть бы они забирали ХВМ, а вот ХВ3 нормальным стратежникам отдали.
Не знаю о мобильщиках и казуальщиках, но я помню лично что перед стартом работы над Homeworld3 , было релизнуто видео где с гордостью утверждалось, что ХВ3 будут делать именно авторы предыдущих серий Homeworld, у которых будет полная творческая, никем не ограниченная свобода. Причем этих людей было больше двух. Кроме Роба Каннингема и Аарона Камбеитза, там утверждалось и о других. По-факту я думаю все это оказалось банальной ложью. Собрав 1.5 лямов на игру, собравшие деньгу укатили на яхтах в моря и нюхали там кокс, вместе с ципочками, впоследствии просто забыв о своих обещаниях.
@@homeworld2evolution там, скорее, говорилось о художниках и чуть-чуть о Сайралисе :))
Will we get more on the AI "Ghosts" alluded to earlier?
@@BunkerAnon what ghosts?
@@AmDDReds the AI nodes on the Automated Ships we were tasked to destroy back in Shipbreaker would spit out all kinds of odd info and told not to think about it.
Why does everyone want to go back to Jakku?!
Jakku? You mean, Arrakis?
@@AmDDReds jakku is the desert planet in star wars
@@Mika-ph6ku Specifically one with a crapload of shipwrecks on it.
“Transport ship: Great Northern Way” Wait a minute! Is this being developed in Vancouver!?
@@JoshBorlase yes, BBI is located there
@@AmDDReds fun to find out cool looking stuff is being made just down the street
Man, I want this game and (a highly modded) Fallout to have a baby.
How do you see it? :)
Well, there goes our salvage, guys.
You'd need to ask Black Bird Interactive to revive this project :)
something better than HW3 had come
Such a great concept, now we have woke homeworld in space :(
Now I wonder how the history would go if BBI stayed with Hardware title :)
Isn't this just the trailer for Deserts of Kharak?
Store link at 3:21 is a 404. Wanted to see what that was!
Gotta ask BBI, what they wanted to make out of Hardware :)
fuck i thought this was real for a sec :=
It's real. It got renamed. It's called Homeworld: Deserts of Kharak.
Wait...this isn't a Hardspace: Shipbreaker sequel?
Would have been great to really play the scavange and giant space ship falled from the sky.
Khaaneph vs. World :)
I thought making an original game about this is as cool as dok
looks great
Try Homeworld Deserts of Kharak :)
none of the links in the trailer work/exist. looks great though.
It's something that converted into Homeworld: Deserts of Kharak, and borrow the original name to Hardspace: Shipbreakers
