Man, homeworld 1 is much harder than most current games. For example, if you will stuck in 8 mission, you will most likely have to return to 7 mission (or even 6) and correct your mistakes there. The thing is, in SP missions results (your whole fleet you build and money that you will collect) wll determine how easy next mission will be. Year ago I have played cataclysm the last time and it still looked acceptable, but I had to run in with winNT compatability and openGL settings.ĭarren, maybe the good idea would be to play some skirmishes with CPU first ? You will quickly learn combat/tactics/resource management, because during SP missions there's not that much time to learn all of that. For me cataclysm was the best homeworld, especially story wise. In homeworld cataclysm story was not connected at all with homeworld 1, game was much easier, and the most important thing was, cataclysm had TIME COMPRESSION button, you didnt need to wait hour just to collect all resources etc. Too bad they didnt include cataclysm in this collection. Playing it at 4K 1080p) too with everything maxed and 16X AA and it runs great.ĭoes anyone know what the red Dual Light option is under Shadows? Is that a higher setting than Enhanced or should I just leave it on Enhanced? I cannot see any visual difference between Dual Light and Enhanced to be yes, these training missions.

It is certainly unlike anything else I've played and the remaster certainly seems to be very good (great that the originals are also included for comparison even if I am never ever going to play either of those). I'm finding it a bit too easy to get overwhelmed by enemy forces though, even in the second mission, but I cannot deny that I am really enjoying it despite the niggles. I have absolutely no idea why I couldn't get the probe to move though. In the end, I sent a Scout ship there and achieved the objective. I managed to build the probe, no problem, but I just could not get it to actually fly to the specified location. For example, on the second mission of the story campaign, you are asked to build a probe and send it to investigate a ship that is not responding. I'm still learning the ropes, so to speak, and finding some of the game mechanics a bit confusing. Believe it or not, I have never played any of the original Homeworld games (I guess I must have been too much of console gamer at the time of its release?) but TotalBiscuit's video pretty much sold this remaster to me and I picked it up yesterday.
