Did any fa/tg/entlemen enjoy Homeworld ? I recently played the remaster and no other story in a RTS has enraptured me to this degree.
So the backstory for the setting ever explored ? Does it take place in the distant future or in an alternate universe altogether ?
Read the manual mate
>Does it take place in the distant future or in an alternate universe altogether?
It's in the Whirlpool Galaxy, completely unrelated to real life Earth or anything
>Read the manual
Fuck! I just remembered I need to find my manual!
Damn, I had no idea this existed. I haven't played the original game, got introduced to the series with the remastered version.
Also, the Cataclysm manual. Pretty good worldbuilding for stuff after the first game.
Ignore Homeworld 2. That one was pretty shit.
Deserts of Kharak is basically true to the backstory given in the manual, although it does make Gaalsien a much bigger threat to the entire Mothership endeavor.
Yeah the game had a ridiculous amount of backstory that really didn't get mentioned in the game at all.
My impression of Deserts of Kharak was less than impressive, I wasn't fond of the groundbased concept, but maybe I'll give it a shot. I think Homeworld: Cataclysm looks alot more interesting desu. However the old graphics engine hasn't aged well and it all seems a bit too jarring after having played the remaster.
DoK is a very generic RTS. Competent, but nothing special. If you just want the lore, then go for it. If you want a groundbreaking game, DoK is not it.
Also, Cataclysm wasn't remastered because they literally lost the source code. It would have been done if they could have done it without a ton of reverse engineering.

That's a damn shame, Cataclysm looked like one of the few RTS:s with horror elements done right.
