For those of you who like homeworld and do not yet know...

After so many months of piddling around their are official screenshots of the game finally being release.  While we people on the net will have to wait a tad long for these to come out on the web six exclusive screen shots of HW2 along with an interview with one of the relic development team (alex gardner I believe) in an upcoming issue of PC GAMER (october issue it is believed).

You can find the thread on the 'relic news' site forums here...

The revolution is starting!

Heard about this. I'm gonna buy this game as soon as it comes out.

looks different...
Isnt that a bit.. illegal Thunder?

[quadinhonic_II]

not what i expected, better in some ways. Ships look way better than the origanal. Though it looks like ships are able to fire a lot more beams than the origanal, almost looks overkill...almost.

I'd like to know how many years HW2 takes palce after the end of HW.

*scaffold sorry

anyways, it says "the mothership under construction". Its the same god damn mothership, and the scaffold was destroyed shortly after her launch. Thats a HW1 shot!

and its about as illegal as pirating mp3s
that translates to the relative level of "everyone-does-it-so-who-gives-a-damn"

Different scaffold... different mothership.. it has the same shape... but it has differences..

I don't think so - Relic didn't want anyone posting the images on their forums and threatened to ban anyone who did. However I didn't scan the photos, I haven't hosted the photos (they're on someone elses server) and I haven't done anything else to the photos. Just posted them on a forum - so I shouldn't think I'm in much danger of getting slapped by anyone

[Shrike]

Ahh, barracks law... gotta love it.

[Unknown Target]

lol. BTW, that is an actual HW1 shot. I was a HW nut, and that is a HW shot, with a different background. However, if you look at the caption, it says that it'll feature more of...what, I cannot say, but I would think it said it will feature more of a good thing, or some such thinga-ma-jig.

[Fineus]

I thought it was overly similar - and it makes sense that to avoid giving out to much information they'd just re-make some of the old scenes in the new engine. You can clearly see the upped poly count on the ships though...

[Nuclear1]

but still..... ME WANT NOW!

And noone needs to ask which game YOU considered the best one in 1999 (or any other year, for that matter).
