#HOMEWORLD 2 REMASTERED MODS PATCH#

Combine this with the fact that the patch has turned out to be a massive project, and you have the explanation as to why weвЂ™ve all been kept in the dark for so long. None of the current Homeworld team members are primarily community/fan facing, they work almost exclusively on the backend and usually must obtain approval before they can release anything to the community. He does a fantastic job and heвЂ™s an even more fantastic guy, but at the end of the day, heвЂ™s one person, which means that thereвЂ™s only so much time he can spend on Homeworld. Gearbox has one, count it, one community manager, Joe King, and heвЂ™s stretched across every IP that they own. Homeworld, however, is being self-published by Gearbox, which means the marketing and community management support that, say, their Battleborn or Borderlands IPвЂ™s receive simply doesnвЂ™t exist. They mainly rely on a publisher to perform their marketing, PR, and community management. Yet, there is an explanation: Gearbox is a gaming studio вЂ“ a large and successful studio, yes, but still a studio in the traditional sense. However, I completely understand why fans of the series might feel that Homeworld has been ignored by Gearbox, because the fans themselves have been somewhat ignored. IвЂ™d like to emphasize that Gearbox has not been ignoring Homeworld вЂ“ in fact, theyвЂ™ve gone far above and beyond the call of duty, which IвЂ™ll be diving into in this article. These issues, combined with the fact that fans were told they would receive regular updates but were instead treated to 6+ months of virtual silence has led to a lot of frustration amongst the community, with some vocal fans decreeing that Gearbox has abandoned Homeworld.

Unfortunately, it usually is.Homeworld fans have been impatiently awaiting an update to GearboxвЂ™s remastering of Homeworld for a few reasons, the big ones being that ship formations donвЂ™t work very well, and the single player has several known bugs in certain missions.

Since then, I've always trying putting my fighter directly between the capital ships to see if the fight between them is just a pretty light show and a bit of HP scripting. Trying to avoid flying directly through the beam weapons in the hell that was the few hundred yards between our destroyer and theirs.ДЇreespace is possibly the only weapon where I have ever died to something like the beam weapons, and contrary to pissing me off when I got instagibbed, it just reinforced my opinion that the beams (and by extension the ships wielding them) were not to be fucked with. Our bombers trying to take out their turrets, their bombers trying to take out ours. The big moment I remember is flying between a GTVA destroyer and a Shivan capital ship, both destroyers firing like mad- lasers, missiles, beams all over the place.

Modern games have you being something-something-hero-of-space (I personally think it's an excuse for them to not properly code friendly AI). One of the things I loved about freespace was how it made you were a tiny spacefighter. I remember playing the War in Heaven mod, and there's something just a little bit terrifying about going up against beam weapons, especially when you don't have them. These aren't pretty little light shows- the gradual wind up, plus the deafening sound if you're right next to them when they fire, punching all the way through the enemy ship as it starts to erupt into fire. I always loved the Freespace beams more than those in other scifi.
