As a die-hard Homeworld fan who has listened to the HW1 intro many times, there is a slight discrepancy in the above video. Starting at 0:54, the narrator states that "...for 100 years, worked together to construct a grand mothership...". This is inaccurate. The HW1 intro states that 100 years ago is when the hyperspace core and the Guidestone was discovered, but then states the construction of the mothership would take 60 years. It seems that the narrator in HW1 is telling the history of the Hiigarans, finishing with the ending narration at the end of the game. So effectively, 40 years had passed since the mothership was built, the journey to Hiigara took place, and the narrator telling the story.

Nice summary. I’m very excited for hw3. Still got my collectors edition preorder ready to go

[tonyspohn]

I remember how 1 & 2 grabbed hold of my. Last year I got the remastered versions of all the previous. Still great stuff imo

[NICDUS]

Homeworld history lesson =D

[kingwou]

I'm so thankful this company and the developer want to get this right. If its broke on day one. No one remembers it and the game dies. That shows their dedication to quality. This will be the game they talk about and play again in 20 years when I'm 60 ha. Just like I played the originals in my teens and early 20s

Dear HW3 team, The future of the Hiigarans is in your hands. We hope you will not allow HW to die. We have high hopes for your success. End of message.

Homeworld series has incredible sci-fi opera story. The writing is up there with the best.

It's been a bunch of years since I bough the original HW game, with the lore guide 'hidden' in the installation CD.
How weird was to see the guy in 00:17 and say out loud 'dude is from Kiith Naabal', as if I've just read it yesterday.

Homeworld saga is amazing, have high hopes por HW3

I remember when the Homeworld Remastered games came out. Things looks better than before, but the intro animation for Homeworld was simplified a lot and did not look as good, which was sad. The original Homeworld animation was better made, though of course, lower resolution.

[eltreum]

Looking forward to this new chapter in the trilogy of the Kushan.

The '99 intro blew my mind as a kid

Also the bentusi ran away during beast times, dunno if they ever came back.

I remember making pair models on pepakura, paperstarcraft had a ton of those

[francopereyra]

I always had this weird feeling that every kid that played Homeworld somehow lived in places like the Arizona suburbs... idont know why...
Places that look like where the protagonist from Breaking Bad used to live (Walter white)

[sixiangyang]

It should be called HOME WORLD 4 ，I remember the trilogy called HOME WORLD : Disaster. No matter what, The storytelling of the first three installments is very good. Anyway, I hope this one doesn't disappoint me. The game should have a breakthrough in storytelling compared to the first three installments, which will amaze all players. Otherwise, the brand of this series will be ruined in the future.
