Homeworld® Remastered Collection

For most Homeworld fans I daresay it was the prospect of remastering the original 1999 game that was the most exciting part of this project - not only on the basis of the HW:HW2 vote ratio on the community wishlist, but also because HW2 is still perfectly playable and the graphics reasonable whereas HW really shows its age. Sadly, the HW remaster - even on patch 2.0 - just feels fundamentally broken underneath and I am not sure it will ever be truly fixed whilst running on the heavily modified HW2 engine. The improved Homeworld 2 interface is welcome - as is the inclusion of a cut level from the game - but the formations, stances, and ship movement (that could turn battles when properly managed) still don't function properly and I am not sure they ever will. Overall ship balancing is also different, particularly with capital ship health pools being lower in a style closer to Homeworld 2. It is a pity since the ships and effects look so good, but ultimately gameplay trumps graphics. As for HW2 I cannot comment in too much detail as I never liked the way the game was balanced or the single player campaign, so I lack the experience to discern any significant changes to gameplay. Presumably though it has minor balancing tweaks coupled to a substantial graphical upgrade. Research trees in skirmishes did seem simpler and much faster than I recall for both versions, though. When all is said and done though you should still buy this as it also comes with both of the the original games - and that CD just won't last forever.

Be careful. this game is a lie. Why??? You should know that all mechanics from the original game are not working. The graphics are ok but it is very easy to play now. Formations do not work as they should. If you loved to catch enemy ships with your corvettes, forget it now. You can only build 14 ships of those, and you have to catch every enemy ship single. It does not work like in the original games. If you are not an old fan who played homeworld when its first realese you maybe can have fun with this version. But for old guys like me this game is a broken game. It was told before release of the remastered version that they will make it like the original. I`m really sad about that this was not the truth!

Being a big fan of the original HW1 I was very exited when this was announced, and I admit that graphically the remake is great! However if you expected a remastering of HW1 and HW2 you were disappointed. It was a remake of the HW2 engine and they tried to cram the HW1 game into this. But after a year and a half they finally patched it all and they fixed almost everything the community was complaining about. There are still subtle differences but they are no longer game breakers for most veterans. And you can experience the real/original game play of HW1 and HW2 with the classic versions that are included. This is really a must play if you like RTS games. The fans of yore can replay the classics on modern OS now (if they are still bothered with some of the changes), and the new players get to experience what is probably the greatest space opera RTS game ever made. This is remake of classic game of 1999, so do not expect to be handheld like modern games tend to do. It will take a while before you get the hang of it and you will need to spend a fair amount of time in discovering the different tactics you will need to apply to make progress in this game. But, oh boy, is it worth it...

初次安装，为了汉化稍微费了一段时间。下面说一下解决方法。 第一步，安装游戏。 第二步，打开9ccn mod制作组的官方博客：https://www.9ccn.top/translation，下载家园重置版的汉化包。 第三步，注意，从这里开始使用的方案和汉化组给出的稍有不同。 因为注意到 GOG 版自带了一个语言选择程序 language_setup.exe，所以我们可以利用这个程序来修改游戏语言，而不必替换原本的英文语言包。 所以我们先打开游戏根目录，找到 language_setup.ini 这个文件，编辑，在 info 这一节下添加 Option7=Chinese，并在文件的件的末尾添加如下内容： [Chinese] RegPath=HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/GOG.com/Games/2114871440 ValueName=CUSTOMLANG ValueType=String Value=Chinese 其中，RegPath最后的编号有可能会和这里写的不太一样，但只要保持和最前面 Info 里的 GameID 一致就可以了。 另外其实我在注册表里根本没找到这一条内容，就算写错了有可能也不会有问题。但总归是有备无患。 第四步，解压汉化组给出的汉化包，并把其中的三个文件 English.big、EnglishHW1Campaign.big、EnglishHW2Campaign.big 分别重命名为 Chinese.big、ChineseHW1Campaign.big、ChineseHW2Campaign.big，然后把完成重命名的这三个文件移动到游戏根目录下的 HomeworldRM\Data 里。 第五步，启动游戏根目录下的 language_setup.exe，选择 Chinese，保存退出。 好了，可以正常启动游戏，愉快地玩耍了。 以上。
