With Sega's purchase of Relic, hopefully they can pick up the Homeworld franchise and do something with it again!

- afterburner 14y agoYes, or continue Dawn of War (maybe even go back to the first installment's RTS approach?)
- jfoutz 14y ago"Crytek, who is currently developing Homefront 2, has purchased the rights to the Homefront franchise." later on, they revealed it was $500,000
- jcurbo 14y agoI'm actually quite pleased with that, Sega seems like a good home for Relic. They seem to do ok with The Creative Assembly (Total War games). Homeworld 3 please :)
- ekianjo 14y agoWas Homeworld 2 any good, by the way ?
- dvhh 14y agomore slow paced than the first one ( + extension by barking dog studio ), but still a good homeworld game
- jcurbo 14y agoI agree. It was a bit 'easier' in that there were features like automatically vacuuming up all resources on a map once a mission was complete. The graphics were more modern (not that Homeworld 1 had any problems in that department) and I seem to recall the tech tree being a bit more streamlined? Also a better UI - much more information could be on screen at the same time.
- dvhh 14y agoAbout the automatic resources vaccuming, I preferred the homeworld 1 way, where you could rebuild your fleet at the end of the mission (cataclysm added a much needed time warp). Still my favorite RTS.
- Tiktaalik 14y agoSega actually just purchased Relic and the Company of Heroes IP. Homeworld, and other legacy IPs, are to be sold later. http://neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=509695 http://neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=509695
