Here’s The First Footage of Homeworld Remastered

Homeworld Remastered is a project that was announced a while back, much to the jubilation and caution apprehension of PC gamers worldwide. The rights to the classic space RTS, which was made by Company of Heroes studio Relic Entertainment, were acquired by Gearbox Studios, which is… a bit of an odd mix, really. Gearbox is the company that has made its name by crafting some addictive first person shooters. What in the world do they know about making strategy titles?

Well, they may not know much, but they do know a lot about aesthetics. And when remastering an old beloved classic, that can mean a lot. Homeworld and Homeworld 2 (the two games that will be included in this package) were gorgeous games to begin with, but right now, they really jump out from the screen, alive.

Check out the footage for yourself above, and tell us what you think.

My only hope is they don’t touch the iconic original soundtrack. I would be so mad if they messed it up.
