Gearbox asks what you want in your Homeworld Remastered Collector's Edition

Collector’s Edition could cost $75 or $100 depending on what size mothership you want.

Gearbox Software is asking fans which version of a physical Collector’s Edition of Homeworld Remastered Collection they would prefer.

The cheaper version costs $75 and comes with a six-inch die cast zinc alloy Mothership replica with brushed metal finish, stand included. The more expensive version costs $100, and comes with a 12-inch hand decorated, molded ABS resin Mothership with LED lights, stand and USB/AC power cable included.

Both versions of the Collector’s Edition will contain other memorabilia such as an art book, game manual (the original Homeworld was fantastic), key chain, and game codes. Gearbox says that the items included are not finalized, and that the number of Collector’s Editions will be very limited.

You can complete the survey on the game’s official website.

The Homeworld Remastered Collection will include the original Homeworld and Homeworld 2, updated with modern high-res textures and models, new graphical effects, and support for HD, UHD, and 4K resolutions.

Gearbox, which acquired the Homeworld license from the now defunct THQ, announced its plans to relaunch the games last year.

Or you could just buy the games for 10$ on Amazon and download the graphics mod. 100$ for 2 ten year old games and some knick knacks...excuse me while I LMFAO.

@guardianofhonor You're obviously quite ignorant of the amount of work they're putting into this. They are overhauling the multiplayer with a cross-title system (compared to the non-existent multiplayer of the current titles... VPN is your only option) and upping the resolution to 4K plus recreating all of the units and cinematics in high definition with help from the original artists.

Yeah good luck finding anybody to play multiplayer with on Homeworld these days and all 4k resolution would do for this game is make it look blocky and really show its age. This is just a cashgrab.

@guardianofhonor Wrong. The updated visuals are the least of what they are doing with these games. Cross-Title client, Optimization, re-worked compatibility with newer OS and improved netcode. Not a cashgrab.

@guardianofhonor @Robboninja If you knew how to read properly you'd know this isn't just a republish of the originals, nor just an "HD release". They're redoing all the visuals, sound, and maybe the UI, not to mention the old games have compatibility issues with newer OS. This is worth paying for, especially considering it supports the team working on Shipbreakers.

@guardianofhonor @PJthePlayer2 Why even bother typing this when you obviously have no idea what you are talking about? Why not just shrug your shoulders and move on to the next news story? You remind me of herp-a-derp...

Why are there no trailers, no screenshots, no gameplay videos? Why are we left entirely in the dark about this release?

@billzihang Because it has no release date, and if you've seen the original game footage you know what to expect. They don't feel the need to do extra to sell a game that sells itself, at least not until they have a good working build for it.

@nanorazor Hopes are it will go ok, because some of the original Relic staff, the same guys who are working on Homeworld: Shipbreakers are working on this.

It will be hard to screw this one up, but it is gearbox, so as with all games I'll wait until reviews come in before I buy it.

I'd gladly pay 2x the asking price for either edition. Homeworld is a legendary franchise that simply has not been matched before or since. It's so awesome that things are finally happening with this franchise. Blackbird Interactive is currently developing a prequel to the series called Homeworld Shipbreakers and Gearbox will probably be making Homeworld 3 if this remastering project is a success.

Look I enjoyed the hell out of both of thsoe games but $75 to $100 for a pair of 10+ year old games is ludicrous! It's not quite the same as slapping lipstick on a pig as the games were fun but ...were is the key word there.

@spenta 4 games (classic and remastered versions of one and two) AND all that physical swag for $75-100. That's a decent deal before you even factor in all the physical stuff, overall it's a great package.

@ShimmeringSword @spenta My one question is if they are including Cataclysm (expansion to HW1) since I think it was a different developer. Someone who has Twitter should ask them.

@emanuelmaiberg @SerOlmy @ShimmeringSword @spenta It's been confirmed many times that the source code for Cataclysm has been lost. Most likely this happened during the process of Barking Dog Studios becoming Rockstar Vancouver. Gearbox could choose to build Cataclysm "from scratch" using their newly remastered Homeworld engine but it would take considerably more work than the other two titles.

@SerOlmy @ShimmeringSword @spenta Since they haven't said they are, it seems unlikely. It's a surprisingly good expansion, even if it came from a different developer (which apparently later became Rockstar Vancouver and worked on Bully and Max Payne 3? 0_0 weird).

@spenta You aren't paying $75-100 for the games, you are paying for the physical stuff + the games. They are bundling Homeworld 1 and 2 and expansions into 1 package, this isn't just a reskin they are completely rebuilding them. I would pay retail for that personally, but I don't think the games alone will be $60.

@SerOlmy @spenta Correct, the $75-$100 price is just for this super duper special edition. Usually not a fan of those, but might have to get this one. dat manual.

Ok... I dropped $120 on the Dreamfall kickstarter for the physical stuff. I may... I may have to spend $100 for that 12in hand painted mothership. Homeworld is still in my top 5 games of all time, I still have the original strategy guide carefully packed away in a box in basement.

Please Gearbox, I beg you, do not f*** this up.

@whocaresrly If this was a game they actually made then I'd totally agree with you.

@whocaresrly Even if you don't want this new edition because Gearbox is attached, I HIGHLY recommend the two Homeworld games. Classics. Expansions aren't bad either.
