Homeworld 3

The intro to the first game stands alone as the best open to a game that I’ve ever seen, with the most haunting version of one of the saddest compositions ever composed.
And in banks across the world
Christians, Moslems, Hindus, Jews
And every other race, creed, colour, tint or hue
Get down on their knees and pray
The raccoon and the groundhog neatly
Make up bags of change
But the monkey in the corner
Well he's slowly drifting out of range

Amen.

The sound design, audio production, and music composition for Homeworld were phenomenal (I still enjoy listening to EAC FLACs I ripped who-knows-how-long-ago from the soundtrack that came bundled with the Game of the Year Edition of Homeworld).

At least a couple of times a year I still watch the intro on YouTube.

The first Homeworld is still one of my all-time favorite games.

Really hope HW3 makes its way to consoles . . .

Oh hell yes. I honestly don't think I ever finished the damn game, but holy crap do I love it. I really love the "capture as many ships as I can" minigame, and by the later stages I almost don't have any room to make any more frigates because I've got a couple dozen already Borg-ed into my fleet.

And delayed until February 2024. Bummer, but I really don't need another half baked mess. Let's hope they use the time to get it right.

I really want to quote Roy Kent here. I want the game right, but I was really looking forward to this one this year.

Maybe they are waiting for those that played HW1 and HW2 to die off so they wont be disapointed with HW3. :evil:
