Homeworld Intro Cutscene + Mothership Launch

Back


*sniff* It's so beautiful...Homeworld cutscenes, despite being built on a really outdated game engine, put many professional movies to shame. This is the background story and intro for Homeworld, one of many beautifully animated cinematics one can find throghout the game.
Disclaimer: I don't own Homeworld, as cool as it would be if I did.

I would have also liked to be able to use limited ammunition supplies in HWII. Such as fighters being able to make a couple of bombing runs on capitol ships with heavy weapons before having to return and resupply.

I think it would be possible to do that by having a module attachment that took damage each time the heavy weapon was fired, and couldn't fire any more once it reached 0% health. But that was beyond my scripting abilities.

Whilst HW1 does look a little outdated graphics wise, I still hold HW2 is absolutely beautiful despite being made all the way back in '99.

What? The guys who did that (criticized) were idiots! These cutscenes flow so well and beautifuly with the story and everything that even after so many years almost all of them can beat in emotion and power any other cutscene from any game! Nowadays everything tries to be epic and grand but HW cutscenes first try to be emotional but also succed being epic through their story, music, synch and a little thing called artistic impression!

Same complaint from me also. Having to use support frigates or carriers to refuel the fighters in HW1 provided an excellent level of strategy which they sadly removed in HW2. Hitting the enemy on the opposite side of the map with Interceptors just doesnt seem right..

Blah you suck more than i do! (pun from i don't know what place) Well yeah i torrent games because i can't find them not even if speak to GOD or if they are way to expensive for me since some of them cost more than the medium salary per economy in my country! I'm forced sometimes to do it or remain an ignorant who never played such an incredible game like Homeworld!
