I don't understand why no one has commented on this yet. Especially considering how popular the prototype Enemy Starfighter was.
I bought this game today and I'm blown away by it. You've created an engrosing atmosphere with brilliant art direction and sound design, a simple but impactful story and equally simple but impactful graphics. The gameplay is intense, challenging and addictive. Amazing work.
The devs won't answer you here, you'd probably need to post on the official Gearbox Software forum to have a chance at an official response.
I can tell you that at PAX recently, the dev panel said there will be full mod support; in fact they have been working directly with the mod community on how to improve the game and help support modders much more than they did in the original series. Some of the Complex mod team have even been hired and now work at BlackBird Interactive and Gearbox. So I expect some kind of mod manager to be built in so we can efficiently enable and disable mods as we please.
Additionally they do indeed have all races available in multiplayer. That means you can have Taiidan fighting Vaygr if you want. In fact, if you watch the IGN 30min+ gameplay and panel video from PAX, you will see the Tiidan ships in-game; the first live footage of Tiidan ships (and possibly original Homeworld ships in general) to be shown to the public. This video is ALL gameplay by the way, with the panel commentating in the background. Lots of juicy explosions and beautiful space vistas to feast your eyes on :)
Adding "very" in that spot in the sentence is a way to convey the irony in the situation its describing. I'm also not sure how to explain why that is the case, it's just always been that way! Probably something William Shakespeare came up with :)
Oh and another thing, it's been 2 months since an update. That is by no means DEAD.
Have some faith and respect, people.
Maybe you should try making a mod and see just how much dedication and commitment it takes. This work is produced in the modders' spare time and they don't get paid.
Rebelion has a structure in place for Titans. Have you thought about moving this to Rebelion?
PS, I've just noticed OP is from almost 12 months ago, and HWU still haven't improved their textures or models for the base factions.
I've played HWU, their models are of no where near the same quality as REMASTERED. Jkberna, you and your team (but from what I've read, you seem to be the main artist) are doing an amazing job. Keep plugging away and you'll get there eventually.
Thanks so much for keeping Homweworld alive.
Hi guys, I just thought I should let you know that the new player manual download is broken. It appears to be an issue with Filefront hosting as the download page is available, but download attempts resul in a 403 - Forbidden.
I doubt it's an issue with me as I've download other files from Filefront recently without a problem.
Awesome as usual. Does anyone else find the elementals almost too cute to destroy? lol
The clouds aren't moving... yet. Aside from that, though, everything is awesome!
This is awesome. Neither Microsoft nor Microprose had the imagination to come up with the sort of stuff that you guys are doing.
HOLY SHITBALLS!!! ******* brilliant, guys!
4 variants of my favourite mech, the Uziel is beautiful!
Sorry Thorup87, I don't see the resemblance. I think the name is similar but saying they look a whole lot alike is stretching it a bit.
I think she looks good, Richardo. You guys have beautiful concept art, though I'm guessing this is a pretty rough version of Jun, as it doesn't have as much life as your environment concepts. Those environment concepts are awesome though! Keep it up man, this will be a great mod if you guys can deliver! Good luck!
looks good, i can't wait to see how it turns out.
The corporations taking over sounds a lot like the EVE story (not suggesting you stole the idea, just pointing out that it's similar). I like the ideas for the units, i.e. having a faction especially adept at tank warfare, infantry, etc. It's a nice change to the P/R/S balancing system. Actually, EVE also has a similar balancing system. Eg: One race favours shields over armour, while another favours armour over shields, lasers over railguns, missiles over lasers, etc. It makes things a little more interesting.
Forgive me for pointing this out, but I can't stand it. I find it's one of the most annoying grammatical errors and makes it hard to take someone seriously when they do it. Maybe I'm just inferior at tollerating the internets and it's inhabitants than other people :P ...
"There"
–adverb
1. In or at that place (opposed to here): She is there now.
2. At that point in an action, speech, etc.: He stopped there for applause.
"Their"
–pronoun
1. A form of the possessive case of they used as an attributive adjective, before a noun: their home; their rights as citizens; their departure for Rome.
2. (used after an indefinite singular antecedent in place of the definite masculine form his or the definite feminine form her): Someone left their book on the table. Did everyone bring their lunch?
Yes I did copy that from Dictionary.com ;)
Now I've got that out of the way... I am intrigued by this mod, I hope you make it to completion. This is a great game and the engine has a lot of potential for people wanting to create a story with huge epic battles. Good luck!
OK so I just glanced at the top threads on the homepage of the Crymod site as I closed it and saw your mod thread listed there, so I guess you do know about it. lol sorry, my bad.
I forgot to mention: One of the other mods on moddb called Obsidian Edge 'apparently' has the help of Crytech with their mod. They linked Crymod.com for the crytech modding community. I don't know if that's what they class as Crytech helping them, but if they really are helping modders then it could be of great benefit to your team and the mod. Sorry if you already knew about this, I'm just covering all bases ;)
take care guys.
What's wrong with the Microsoft games? (OK, I admit that Mech3 wasn't that great...) The 'Mech models and animations in the Mech4 series were great, the feet and legs moved realistically against the terrain and the walking/running animations were beautiful, especially for the chicken legged medium mechs (Uziel and Shadowcat were particularly nice IMO). I don't see a problem with them and I've played all the Mechwarrior games, yes including the hard to find original. The only thing I miss is the encyclopedia from Mech2 with all the clan and 'Mech info, I used to jump in the game just to read that sometimes ;)
Anyway, getting back to the animations, I hope you guys can maintain good Microsoft quality animations and ground collision. Not to say I don't have faith in your team, but to me that element of the feet and legs interacting at different levels on the terrain in Mechwarrior 4 was fantastic, it just made it that much more believable that these machines could work in the real world. Having 'Mechs capable of crouching and falling over would be great too. I guess it all depends on engine limitations though.
Good luck, guys! I'll be watching this space for sure!
Oh, and PLEASE put my Uziel in there!! :D *makes PPC sounds with lips* :D
like so much "cake", delicious and moist and freaking awesome! ;) i cant wait for this. the first time i played through HL was HL:Source so I at least got to see it mildly improved from it's original state, but this is just ludicrously awesome! i can't get over how great it looks. and it's not just that you've recreated rooms using the new source stuff but it's the amount of detail you've added to rooms and locations, it's just amazing how much difference that detail can make!
btw, have valve gotten in contact with your team regarding this mod?
anyway, keep it up guys and good luck with the rest of the mod!
Now if you'll excuse me I've got some science to do...
really nice model and great textures :)
I think they need to be beefier. Look at they artwork of Space Marines, they look like they could kill you just by looking at you in the pictures just because they're so big and stocky. This guy looks like he's on a serious Diet. Otherwise though it looks like a pretty good model. All the details are there, it just needs to gain a few pounds ;)
wow how freaky is this. me and some mate where just playing the Zombie Horde mod and were saying how much better a game with a more "Alien" / "Predator" feel would be... well what a shock i got to actually find exactly what i've been looking for as this months mod of the month on MODDB not 1hour after we were talking about it! Fantastic lads!
Well Im 83% through the download and cant wait to play it, i just hope its not too laggy for us aussies ;)
now this i'd like to see. And if the source engine is as versatile as Valve says then it should be perfectly feesible, though a lot of work to do it justice. Now you might wanna ask Valve if it is possible to do a game using the names and places etc. from the game. Afterall when you've got people like Blizzard winging about people making non-profit rts mods of starcraft for 3d engined games like generals coz they're too lazy to make a sequel to one of the best rts' in history themselves... and also got the guys who were making the Middle Earth mod for S.T.A.L.K.E.R. for over two years getting shut down because the people who hold the licence decided that maybe they could make some money of a game like that in the future so they'll just stop these guys now seing as they're getting so much support.
However I think the guys at Valve are the sort of people who would egg you, their beloved fans, on in making an excellent RTS using Source.
Personally I'd absolutly love to see a first person version of this where you actually get to fight as a resistance fighter in that lost week... well I'll stop there coz no doubt some of you haven't finished Half-Life 2 and I wouldn't want to spoil it for you ;)
Anyway good luck with this RTS which seems destined for good things... as long as Valve gives it their blessing :)
lol, they're some pretty mad details there - especially the bit with the splashing of mugs when ur 200+lb player "jumps into" them... :P
