Description:
I LOVED the ORIGINAL Homeworld's AWESOME realtime 3D capital ship galactic-arena "chess-play" & fascinatingly sustained sense of awestruck wonder, but didnt like it's "Cataclysm" sequel's cheap household-appliance-looking-ships that spoiled the mood. ...Yet WHOEVER that EXCELLENT Artist was who drew, & aftereffect-animated H.Cataclysm's & H.2's 2D animated game-developer-concept-art cut-scenes was SO AWESOME, [...as heavily-featured in Viper_1tag's video here...] i couldnt HELP wishing the ENTIRE 2nd "CATACLYSM" version of the Homeworld game had been rendered in that style!!! "H.C" would have been an INFINITELY better game, considering the blandness of it's lame "hardware wars" looking 3D models. somebody released a "Robotech" mod of the original homeworld, but i never got THAT to load successfully. Viper once said: "As we move on to Homeworld 2, we must never forget the original. This is my tribute to Homeworld and Cataclysm". Homeworld's THIRD installment, confusingly titled "Homeworld 2" LOOKED awesome, but at the time I didnt have a computer powerful enough to play it, so all I got was a disappointing & VERY sloppy java-applet looking interface with messed up z buffers & game crashes. Ive never been able to get the ORIGINAL Homeworld to run on XP because of Bill Gate's functionally obsolescent criminal-level GREED-scheeming, so im considering going BACK to windows98 JUST so I can play that AWESOME game again!!! [ VISTA SUCKS!!! unless you just LIKE re-buying ALL your software OVER & OVER with each new windows release. DANG, microsoft sucks. ] ...i dont know of another simulation that even comes CLOSE to what the original "Homeworld" DELIVERED !!! =36 OR MORE Ion cannons, Missle launchers, & destroyers in wall formation ambushing an entire FLEET of enemies in full free-navigable realtime freeze-frameable 3D pumping DEEP-bass-block-rockin' surround sound dolby subwoofers is currently STILL one of the TOP TEN MOST AWESOME experiences you can EVER witness in ANY video game past, OR present !!! [it EVEN let you record & save fully-post-navigable 3D MOVIES of the experience] I HAD SO much fun salvage corvetting OTHER'S ships into incredibly huge "DEATH STAR" collections consisting of all the ships you could build until maxed out, then capturing a couple more fleets of ENEMY ships to add to the mix, then bowling thru ANOTHER enemy in sphere formation being careful to CAPTURE, not destroy all their capital class ships. NO OTHER GAME EVEN COMES CLOSE ...so far as im concerned... I shared the ORIGINAL homeworld's interface with some REAL top-brass SPAWAR submarine commanders at a Washington DC contractor's convention once, & they got VERY excited & started asking me to design a REAL nuclear submarine interface for them LOL!!! I QUICKLY told them I was only an artist & that I DID NOT create Homeworld. LOL!!! none the less, they were VERY impressed. THAT is how AWESOME the original Homeworld was. The original HOMEWORLD was SO good it won "1999 GAME OF THE YEAR. Those untold hours of INCREDIBLE battles provided some GREAT memories!!! =D =HulkSmaash
