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.

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

While rumours have been running rampant as to Gearbox Software’s next few projects, including the chances of Borderlands 3 arriving. However, studio president Randy Pitchford has clarified to Polygon, “I’m not going to f**k around with you like Valve does with Half-Life 3.

“Look. We know we want it and we know it should exist, but we don’t know what it is yet. But we are doing things in Borderlands that we’ll announce soon, that are good, and that I think people will be really excited about if you love the franchise.”

Gearbox is currently planning to release the original Homeworld games, remade with new graphics, along with Furious Four, the next Brothers in Arms and two new games which will be new IP. “We invested a lot to remaster the original Homeworld and Homeworld 2. We’ll be releasing them on digital platforms in fully remastered – not just ported to work, but fully remastered. If you have a new crazy-ass Nvidia 780TI or an Nvidia Titan and you happen to have one of those $3,000 4K monitors, you’re going to see an unbelievable image.”

But no one can deny that Borderlands 3 would be top. We’d gladly take so many new and interesting projects if they have the potential to be as awesome as the loot-based shooter though.R Do you agree? Let us know below.
