My impression after playing the game for an hour is that Homeworld 3 is in a great state but there is still work to be done. So, for us, it was super important to have that anticipation of like, if you see something, a missile flying across…and then that missile hits the terrain instead of your fighter you’re going to feel super amazing that you were in there and that guy did his job, and now you can tell him back off or bring in another group of fighters to engage and flank that unit.”īefore starting to play, however, I was told that a lot of the story beats in the demo are temporary and that they are subject to change, and so there’s not much more I can say about the game’s narrative other than what is already known: Imogen S’Jet is tasked with facing The Anomaly, a new threat to the galaxy that has begun to swallow planets, and with solving the mystery behind the disappearance of Karan S’Jet – her predecessor and protagonist of the first two games. A lot of RTS games, they do a calculation on shoot – whether or not that thing’s going to hit – and that thing is actually an effect – it’s not a real thing. Or, in one other alternative, players will be able to use the various ship remains of an extinct galactic civilization in order to hide from and then ambush unsuspecting hostile forces.Īnother important new feature is the simulation system underneath the game: “We have a pretty amazing simulation underneath the game”, Mueller explained, “…that is running every single projectile and moving them / interpolating them so as to go from where they’re fired to their destination target…if anything gets in the way, that actually hits, and it will recognise that hit. To give a first example of what this means in practice, players will be able to destroy enemy ships and then use the remaining debris as cover from incoming attacks. However, what makes Homeworld 3 different from other entries in the series can be summarized in one word: terrain. This means that players can expect that this new entry will retain the iconic 3D visceral cinematic combat and persistent fleets. He also mentioned that Homeworld 3 is looking to bring back everything that fans of the franchise love about this series.
