In addition to the two remastered games and their original formats, Homeworld Remastered Collection will include access to a Steam beta for the game's multiplayer component.

The remastered version of the original Homeworld particularly benefits from that change, as the first game in the series featured a fairly clunky interface, even when compared to its sequel. The games also handle much, much smoother. Space itself is far lovelier instead of battling in a black void punctuated by the occasional, errant star, battlegrounds can be shifting nebulas or spiraling asteroid fields. Flat hatches have evolved into ornate hulls, and antennae look more like antennae, and less like burly stovepipes.

Ships still look like their classic counterparts, but with far more detail. The package will also feature the classic versions themselves partially so lovers of the originals can play through them without interference, but also so players can see just how far the remastered versions have come.ĭuring a hands-on demo at PAX South, those changes were put on display as Gearbox demonstrated the new and old versions running side-by-side.
#Homeworld remastered collection upgrade
The collection is a beefy one - it includes the renovated versions of Homeworld and Homeworld 2, which have received a dramatic visual, audio and mechanical upgrade over their original iterations.

25 with a price tag of $34.99, Gearbox Software announced today. The Homeworld Remastered Collection, a renovated version of the first two core entries in the spacefaring strategy series, will launch on Steam Feb.
