![Homeworld 2 Remastered Intro [1080p 60fps]](/img/n.gif)
rest in peace Campbell Lane...The voice of the bentusi...You are now...Unbound. May the solar winds wash over you for all eternity...and may hyperspace sing you a beautiful, never-ending melody.
R.I.P. The Great Harbour ship is gone to the winds as well.
This is a beautiful comment my friend.
@@roguedrones @Cmrd Knightmarez it is only the bound who cling to mortality, for the bentusi (*the* | unbound ) have heard the song of hyperspace, which even crew of the Mothership's Khaar-Selim carrier-class vessal.
Had heard only once before their destruction.
During Karen's ascendancy in the first leap.
I think a lot of the impact of this games story is it doesn't start off as the Higarans going to war, they start off purely as explorers with a sense of wonder.
in a sense they never do go to war, after all the higarans only directly attack the Tiidan a total of three times or so during the campaign beyond that their more or less just defending themselfs
They are going home. That is a feeling most of us can relate to.
@@Laerei "We just want to know you."
That actually makes it hit harder because for hiigarans they were positive, hopeful, that it will just be a peaceful trek to a better future than dying in a desert. Only expecting minimum resistance, heck expecting their own people to meet up with them and embrace them with open arms. Then the Turanic Raiders happened and it all went downhill from there.
Whenever I played classic Homeworld, I loved imagining the reaction of the citizens of Kharak as they watched the launch on television. I always imagined them screaming in cheer and crying in joy as the Mothership cleared the scaffold. It makes their annihilation by the Taiidan more poignant because the Kharakians thought the Mothership would return to bring them all to Hiigara; instead millions would never see the Homeworld.
The ending to Deserts of Kharak was so disappointing, just "we are all one people!" the end, I wanted to see the reaction of the people all over the planet to the discovery
This may be the most perfect opening to any piece of media or art yet to be experienced.
It gives history, motivation, and narrative purpose to the viewer.
I'm a 35 year old bearded man, father to one. How the fuck can a five-and a half minute long intro STILL bring me to tears after all these years?
+Commodore4life
Because as opposed to most other games and movies out there this here has a soul?
They didnt just cobble something together to make money. They actually believed in what they produced.
+Commodore4life I'm 32, father of 2 boys... played it soon after the initial release. I'm totally with you on the feels part... Honestly, no other game (and I played a LOT) had such a massive impact on me. It's been whatm 16 years? And it's still, by far, the most breathtaking RTS I've ever played (and you're talking to a die-hard Starcraft fan!)
+Commodore4life 35 years of living with 25 years of game playing only two games made me leak man tears.
this is one of them. but beware the third mission
+cmdraftbrn What's the second, if I may ask? Just to compare notes :)
+Commodore4life for me the story in final fantasy 7
*THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR NOT TALKING.*
I see some idiots on UA-cam blab and blab during this intro. They fail to comprehend that this intro must be given reverence by absolute silence. I played the original Homeworld when it was first released - so I understand the significance.
but of course.
Agreed
+VL VIDEOS I've witnessed people skipping the intro of this game at first play! And those people live among us, skipping life!
When people say Video games are not art, i show them this.
@@noisywan I mistakenly did so for a bit of it so I came back here
It's mad that a five and a half minute sequence in which we never actually see a face (apart from Karan) can create so much emotional investment but triple A games can't make me sympathise with anyone.
its cuz they all think pandering to every crowd of self proclaimed hard-done-byes, while making all manner of greedy scummy underhanded mechanic changes somehow balances out into a good game, gone are the days when game publishers cared about their craft, the days of original stories created to stand on their own without anyone's help, apologizing to no one for making their place in history as timeless masterpieces. Imagination has been left untapped by today's gaming industry, in favor of making money.
@@rhino2960 And you call them hard-done-bye. I agree that modern games are not as good as they used to be because of corporate greed, but by saying that you are giving an image to the reader of your comment that 'forced diversity' and talking about social issues is the main problem because it was the first point mentioned. And yes, I do understand that many companies do so out of greed, but that does not change the fact that you project that view, even if you don't believe it yourself.
@@rhino2960 Also, I support the confidence, but your channel gives the impression of a teenage edgelord who talks about murder, racism and other such subjects in hope of offending a 'snowflake'. I know that you are certainly not as you have been active since 2009, but it just looks like something that one would make.
@@pessimisticnihilist3691 maybe back in the day, now I'm just an old grumpy fart whose sick of sjw's ruining everything they touch.
"An expedition was sent." - From that line alone you have a whole game.
"It would demand new technologies, new industries and new sacrifices." Could probably have a whole Anno-style game made about that.
There actualy is a game based on that expedition. Homeworld: Sands of Kharak, I think it's called.
now named Deserts of Kharak. still a lot of sand in the title. ;)
I think that's what he means lol.
Gimmie the Anno game :P
This sequence never fails to give me goosebumps. The majestic music, the narration, the visuals are just perfect.
And there in the beginning, piloting that baserunner, is Rachel S'Jet.
ok, that fact was not known when HW remastered hit the shelves. :)
Why didn't they make Baserunner in the opening sequence look like an actual Baserunner from Deserts of Kharak...?
The entirety Deserts Of Kharak was made from a different game, Shipbreakers, which was supposed to be an, I believe, MMO. Gearbox saw potential because of their recently released Homeworld Remastered and its background lore, to make a prequel, bought Shipbreakers, and just re-used some of the marketing for Shipbreakers that featured the baserunner. I'm pretty sure in the original S.Bs. the baserunner was going to have a bigger role than science vehicle, and would've functioned more like the command cruiser of D.o.K., but I can't say for sure.
Yep also you know that Rachel S'Jet was the ancestor of Karan S'Jet that which is canon. Quite a coincidence don't you think?
I'll admit, I miss the radio chatter you'd hear in the original intro that would echo in the background, but all in all this is a great success. Glad to see that Gearbox actually meant it when they said they were going to make this a true-and-true HD remaster, rather than get everyone to board the hype train so they could use the preorder money to fund their next Borderlands sequel...
That's right, Gearbox. Not even Homeworld Remastered can save you from Colonial Marines. Never forget, never forgive.
Finally someone gets it. Thanks for noticing that, I thought I was the only one missing the background radio chatter. I also think the captions (with the off-place HW2 Carrier pic...) are unnecessary; they are meant to be background noise adding to the scene.
`an ancient starship`. I love this phrase.
+groundctrl77 Sounds almost magical doesn't it?
the "Khar-Toba" AFAIK.
The whole intro sounds like one of those eerie documentaries about ancient pyramids, except that in place of pyramids there are spaceships and FTL tech. I _love_ that ambiance so much.
"100 years ago, a satellite detected an object under the sands of the Great Desert"
*goosebumps*
Even our spaceships will be ancient someday. We will be ancient aliens who had escaped their planet.
“What a beautiful sight.” What a beautiful sight indeed.
You can imagine the crew of the mothership and the scaffold weeping with tears of joy at their successful launch.
just to die twenty minutes later
"The Mothership has cleared the scaffold.
We are away." *fucking cries*
This into is by far the best video game into ever made!
relic just knows how to create atmosphere. company of heroes 2 in MP is beyond epic in terms of creating moods and atmosphere.
I absolutely loved this. However, in my ignorance I chose the Taiidan as my race of choice. This iconic scene is etched into my memory with the launch of the giant flying toaster.
This game was my jam. '98 was just an amazing year for PC gaming, and gaming in general. Best single player game of that era!
goddamn right. the MP was decent too.
I played Riven a lot, hardly ever any other games except Unreal a bit etc, luckily I didn't know about this!!
What a beautiful sight indeed ..
Wonderful. Just..Wonderful.
THIS is how you write the beginning to an epic mythos. Do you hear me; Game Publishers!?
I've never played homeworld, it was shown to me recently by a friend (this part specifically) and I must say i've never seen an intro so beautiful, I have no words for how good this is.
And the entire game sees and feels like this even during combat. 100% recommend it, story and gameplay are amazing!
Friend if you think this is good you should play it, it gets even better believe me. I remember playing this way back in 1999 (still have the CD ROM!), it blew my mind then and still does now. An absolutely timeless classic of a videogame with in my opinion one of the most engaging stories, lets just say a few missions in you become VERY motivated to carry on.
Y'know, in terms of an epic sci fi opera setting this easily rivals mass effect. Hell, It even rivals star wars.
Argiris Papadopoulos this is the best start for a sci-fi opera I've ever seen, nothing even comes close for me. (Counting both movies and games)
As a Space Opera, Homeworld is one of the best. The visuals, the music. This is art.
This and Dune. Brings back memories.
@@korgothofbarbaria2841 dune 2 and dune 2000 don't have much story. Emperor does the saga justice, but the thing is that dune games aren't really based on an original universe like homeworld.
@@RetroAmateur1989 I'm not talking about games only. It's more about atmosphere and I didn't compare them. 😂 I don't see point of your comment.
They need to make a Homeworld movie with this soundtrack!
The Soundtrack is Adagio for strings. And was already used in Platoon.
Nothing can take us far enough
Emotion... far enough together
As the light shines so bright
Bright enough to let us in
The introduction of the Mothership isn't just beautiful, it's actually useful. For story purposes, since the religious chants give some sort of "relic" aura to the ship, which ends up being a literal ark to save the Kushan race, but also for gameplay purposes, since it shows how precious and powerful this ship is.
Kinda wish - they would make this thing into a film... It would be incredible.
i know its been a year since you said this but i 100% agree, a film or a short series. The story is incredible and the parts where you play would make brilliant action scenes imo
I can't get enough of Homeworld, this universe is beautiful.
Movie by a competent team when? It's such a good premise and so gut wrenching fom start to finish. "Our *home* "
2:50 - the moment for hearing the music
Thank you for not talking man! Finally could watch at decent quality (4k on 1080p screen lol). the game is on steam sale now. buying now.
***** Me too! Downloading now... :3
Holy Shit!
Homeworld 4ever!!!! best strateghy game of all time, the music and the atmosphre is just perfect...this game is pruf that the video games are art!!!!
Now we need a remake of a remake using rtx graphics. Star systems would look absolutely amazing under the new graphics technology.
I FORGOT THE SAMUEL BARBER PLATOON MUSIC WAS IN THIS.
Every time I hear that song I think of 9/11/01, because my mom took me, our next door neighbor and a friend we had staying over with us at the time - who had flown down from Upper Michigan - to an off-the-cuff emergency church service. We walked in and they were playing that song on the organ. Creepiest shit I have EVER heard.
the orchestral version aka "Adagio for Strings" is indeed haunting.
crap how long has it been? 20 years? I was a kid when I played this game! I didn't know what I was doing and couldn't play it to save my life all I knew was the game was fun and the music sounds awesome ... *WARNING TACTICAL NOSTALGIA INCOMING*
Times, when games were ART not a money grab
did anyone noticed the vehicle that discovered the derelict was a baserunner from the work-in-progres title shipbreakers?
+Argiris Papadopoulos “RetroAmateur” they´be changed it, the original design wasn´t this one, it was a more simple drawing. The entire intro was in fact redone. Now Shipbreakers it´s called ''Homeworld: Shipbreakers'', to be placed in the same universe, and because of this the Baserunner appears on the Remastered edition.
Yeah, I know the whole story.
"and a single word more ancient than the clans themselves, Higara, our home"
This is where we see greatness. This is where all other games develop. And then we see Eve, Star Citizen 42, No Man Sky, Elite Dangerous.
I'm a 42 years old grown man becoming an Architect. Every time I come here, a tear comes out of my eye. This is where true greatness began aside from outstanding games such as Horizon Zero Down, Warframe, God of War IV, Titan Fall 2.
The journey must continue. Home world 3 should come once more rediscovering the true origins of Higarians.
"YES: Star ship Trooper"
It’s so beautiful, I actually cried lol
A few minor details aside, and one major one (Homeworld's actual tracking of whether or not a projectile impacts with the hull of a target versus Homeworld 2's determining whether or not it hits by RNG and occasionally failing to adjust accordingly), this has played as downright impressive so far.
yep, i also have serious problems with the RNG aspect. i loved the original because of how the projectiles actually behaved like projectiles.
and apparently it is unfixable
*cries*
It's a part of the engine. It can be fixed...if you remaster the remaster on a new engine.
One of my favourite game scenes of all times. Simply marvelous.
The music for whom wants it, Agnus Dei or Adagio for Strings, Samuel Barber
God I love this game, so reverent and real and immersive
What a beautiful sight
I know that "chills" is rather cliché for videos and music... but, I can't come up with a better term for the pure ASMR of those engines firing up and taking the Mothership, in all her glory, out among the stars.
I just noticed something here. In the remastered opening sequence, they replaced the old crawler from the original opening with the Baserunner, from Hardware: Shipbreakers (Now Homeworld: Shipbreakers)!
Maybe this is hinting that Homeworld: Shipbreakers will take place on Kharak!
Holy snap, you're right! I'd expect them to retcon the narration to say, "Great Banded Deserts" but he's not with us any longer.
Dude I played with you on Homeworld Remastered last night! :)
holy shit, what was your name ingame?
Volound Joseph Stalin sir :D
We should definitely play more Homeworld!
every time I watch this video ... I have to go get my handkerchiefs and wipe my tears, I don't know why ...
While I think the sound effects and sound design wasn't as solid as the original, this is still a goosebumps inducing scene.
That's the voice of the Gundam Wing narrator!
this was such awesome game. i wish they would make a more updated version.
Samuel Barber - Adagio for Strings : Music
The word on that stone says "Higara" and its an Arabic word and it means "emigration"
Yes so cool to see the intro nice and one of the best epic space game ty
I still can't believe that after all the research into jump drive, we still can't freely move the mothership in campaign, and it's in zero g what the f#%*. I love this game no matter the propulsion issue, for I have not had that mystery feeling that you get from a story in a long time. Also the Rock Paper Scissors formula works well for this rts type of space genre of a game.
We know it could move, but we dont know how fast it could move and steer clear of obstacles. easier to jump than propell itself in slow motion.
The engines weren't finished, that's one of the things that was going to be done in the first mission where the ship you were supposed to meet up with would have helped calibrate some of the unfinished systems
"we are away".
Dona nobis pacem.
WE ARE GETTING HOMEWORLD 3 BOYS AND GIRLS!
Adagio for strings by Samuel Barber. I think it's my favorite classical song of the 20th century.
Oh, Karan
I love this game, i playing since first HomeWord..
just watched the original nasa apollo launch video, now im here, what says it about me that i enjoy spaceships beeing launched that much? why do i even like it? no idea
I played this and the original like a million times... But fuck it's so fucking good. I bet the master mind behind this game is nothing short of a genius.
Want to replay the game after seeing this. *Brain: "Don't you remember how struggling it was to complete it?" 🙂
A tragically good introduction.
I tried to watch in 4k...
aaaand my browser almost crashed ;_;
try downloading and using MPC to watch
Wow, actually makes space look like a nice experience as opposed to the shitting into a vacuum cleaner reality
So who's here after the Game Awards reveal trailer?
The clans were united. Construction would take a looooong time I'll be dead before it's done silly billy most of us will be
But everyone did something together so we didn't die and it was worth it
Our home
"ACTIVATING TACTICAL COGITATORS"
;)
IT IS GLORIOUS!
Jezus. This game is so hard..
Are you going to be playing Atilla: Total War?
Had this game for years but never learned how to repair the mothership
You enjoying the new totally balanced salvage corvettes? I'm just upset that some ships cannot be captured.
havent quite experienced them yet. i know theres a cap of 14. if thats the balance, thats kind of shit. artificial caps are annoying and retarded.
Same narrator as Gundam Wing?
Mothership
should come up more about Mothership in next game release
this will unite the people at least mind pattern not over arching though the usual
appreciate gaia/ hera?
whatever?
that voice like your own mother when child
In some games radio chatter costs more money
Wow it look great.
Clem!
Clem!
my ears Died as soon as possible after the Video Starts but now i Cant hear nothing
What can we actually build in 60 years.
Probably our own demise.
I think I came
I have a problem with this cutscenes, the run in slow motion!, the game itself is fine and had no problems in gameplay, it's just the cutscenes that run really slow, anybody has the same problem? how can i fix it?
They are post tox its how they were designed to do
Zoom zoom
They really overdid themselves with this game, Jesus Christ. It looks like a fucking brand new game. After the despicable Heroes III HD remake, seeing something like this set the bar for future HD remakes warms my heart.
oh yeah. makes all other remasters look like an absolute wank job. for shame.
@@Volound how does Command and Conquer: Remastered Collection compare?
Bel video..
What the actual fuck happened, BBI/Gearbox?
The clans were united! Imagine if all we cared about was working together and escaping Earth and finding exotic minerals and creating new intergalactic colonies. Why are you like this?!????? Why don't you want to be better I don't get it explain it explain to me how come you won't listen to me
Why do you wanna die why are you idiots
Help
incroyable
*they fucked up the docking system SO BAD* ... yet everything else was improved.
Wait, what? Please elaborate.
@@PillowWillow007
I should have said the 'Ship Launcher' .
In HW1 docked ships are listed in the menu and you can undock the group you want.
In HWC docked ships are listed in the menu and you can undock the group you want.
In HW2 docked ships are listed in a sidebar and you can ONLY launch them in the order they were docked! Listing each ship separately.
Take ONE guess which idiotic system they used for the remaster?!
You have no control how many, of which ships, you undock.
Lets say you just want your corvettes to counter fighters or so... - OH YOUR BOMBERS UNDOCKED AND GET SHOT AT! ... and now they are dead!
Does that sound like 'not an idiot' programmed this into a *strategy game* Oo ?
It is painful to play like that. I had to resort to splitting ships up with my carriers to bombers are parked in carrier 1. fighters carrier 2.. etc. just so I can 'make it work'.
its about as fun as being shoved into a bag and the bag being tossed into a river...
I just played a bit of it. It's really good graphics, but the balancing is all off and the unlimited ship capturing from the classic is basically gone (just like in HW2 classic). So many problems with the AI and resources that it makes the game way too easy. Hope they will fix the bugs.
W- Dean Hi, this isn't really much the best place to ask that. To answer your question: that wont' be happening. I don't play Nintendo's products. :)
W- Dean dude.
That just made no fucking sense and I'm not even going to attempt to understand what you are saying.
The only spaceish opening priettier than this is, to me personally, the one from Stargate Universe.
-SOUND stirs emotion. The haunting music ( Agnus Dei by Samuel Barber - ua-cam.com/video/fRL447oDId4/v-deo.html) And the grinding turbine wind up sound make for powerful stuff.. Combine that with the giant, beautifully choreographed visuals.... = Tears!!!
sux! better if can come up own designs i.e space faring people. yeah!
about to.... delete
nvm
Has anyone tried to run this game on a shitty laptop yet? I don't know if it's playable and I *really* want to try it out.
Respect this game by upgrading your computer.
Doing it on anything less is blasphemy.
it should scale. it will look like shit probably, so you may as well have the originals running.
My laptop with non-existent specs runs it very well at the expense of graphics.
I could not watch this in 4k lol
looks like im way ahead with this whole youtube thing then ;)
Volound
I think I meant that the video crashed as I don't think my computer could handle 4k, either that or just shitty internet.
This is what made Elon Musk create SpaceX. One day we will conquer the stars.
All that glorious 4k and still those terrible, terrible compression artifacts in the audio.
