The polygon counts may be similar but textures are incredibly detailed, the lighting is new and beautiful, and modern visual nuances like depth of field focus and motion blur are in full effect for PCs that can handle the game with all the bells and whistles. Like many remasters, Homeworld really benefits from a side-by-side comparison, as seeing the new game in action might prompt older gamers-with nostalgia goggles set to “full”-to remark “That looks the way I remember it.” It doesn’t. It’s also looking much more palatable to an audience that is now used to a world of HD and 4K resolutions. It’s a spare, minimal story that leaves much to the imagination of the player, and what worked brilliantly in 1999, still works today.
As the fleet fights, survives, grows and learns about the greater galactic community around them, they take a stand and make history. Homeworld is the story of a small battle fleet that finds itself in a desperate struggle for survival in the wake of the annihilation of their home planet. Anyone that plays Homeworld and says “This is just a rip off of new Battlestar Galactica” has inadvertently admitted they don’t remember-or are simply too young to know-their history.
