Gearbox purchases the HW IP in the auction of THQ’s assets, and here we are two years later. THQ’s demise last gen along with many other companies is the stuff of legend and tragedy. THQ purchases Relic in 2004, acquiring the HW Intellectual Property (IP) in the process. Barking Dog Studios develops HW: Cataclysm in 2000 as a stand-alone expansion. Relic Entertainment develops the original HW, published by Sierra Entertainment, in 1999, followed by Homeworld 2 in 2003. However, my fandom and Gearbox’s generosity do not mean that I will be gentle.įor readers unfamiliar with how HWR came into fruition, here is a bit of history. In the meantime, Gearbox has provided Geeks Under Grace a copy for the purposes of this review, and I was all over it. I pre-ordered HWR in December 2014 and it has yet to arrive at the time of this writing (Amazon says 3/9/15).
I answered with gusto Gearbox’s inquiry to HW fans concerning a possible remastering of the franchise a year or two ago, saying that I would pay $100 for it. An ambitious endeavor, I have been sabotaged by some fruitless concept called “life.” Nevertheless, the reason why I wanted to conclude the series with Homeworld is because I believe it to be the greatest RTS of all time if not also one of greatest games of all time. Full disclosure: my original plan was to write a series called “RIP: RTS,” publishing on one famous RTS franchise per week, culminating with Homeworld to coincide with the release of Homeworld Remastered Collection ( HWR).
