Datamined Cutscene Shows A VERY Different Homeworld 3 BEFORE It Was Ruined

Well well well would you look at that! There was a homeworld 3 that mentioned homeworld things like precursers and sajuuk instead of magical mystery space women! And stranger still is that this datamined cutscene seams to be free from all the bloat and close up's and diversity of the released game! At some point then there was probably a good rts video game here before gearbox got involved

i knew it. i knew it was sabotage because their previous game Deserts of Kharak, was masterfully done. nothing can top the first but still it was clearly made with passion and understanding.

not this trash

[davidlandrum]

20 years up in flames. Never forget what they took from us.

[marcogenovesi]

Arch is now literally hilter for Homeworld 3 developers too

[vladimirvojtaml]

So fucking typical...
The game gets rewritten last second and turns out shit. Imagine my shock.

[Aliksander]

I thought Homeworld was too niche a franchise to be targeted by this... I'm so sad to see how mistaken I was.

Homeworld 1: a paranoid Palpatine-esque Emperor, Cataclysm: an extragalactic hyperspace virus who wants to omn nom the galaxy, Homeworld 2: a messianic crazy person with a hyperspace core and an ego the size of Sagittarius A.

Not exactly a series known for having morally ambiguous main villains.

Chalk another one up to arch being right again boys

Not surprising considering how long it was in development. It’s Aliens Colonial Marines all over again, but this time the disaster has a coat of rainbow paint.

[Volper]

20 bucks says that this radical redesign which obviously happened in the late stages of the game is what made it take so long to finish. I wonder how many millions of dollars was wasted just because one pink haired lesbian said it wasn't queer enough.

The original details and promotional content talked about the Progenitors and Sajuuk. That it followed along from 2. but look at the betrayal.

[reggie]

All I can think is that iconic moment in 1, you just come back and Kharak is burning.

[Quickslvr]

They let them into the Garden, and now it's burning.

[Ozzystrayroo]

Fans who were returning to Homeworld franchise and said burning" while Adagio for strings played in the backgroun

[wintersking]

Arch, methinks you're entitled to a Razorfist-style, chair spinning "fuck you, I was right!" If you want it.

Guys your are forgetting something:

BBI is Canadian
All fo the DEIs included sweet baby are Canadians
CEO of BBI wife had a DEI company as well

Homeworld 3...
There was never a homeworld 3... the same way there was never a command and conquer 4....

Something that strikes me is how much you see the women's faces. How often there's this silent, "meaningful" gaze between them. Or how expressive and cocky the villain queen is. Comically evil.

I've only played one Homeworld game, Deserts of Kharak, and Rachel was never like that. She was serious, professional, relied on her people and her superiors, and was a character with actual depth instead of relying on too many words and too many quiet "emotional" moments.

[culteducube]

I would not be surprised if the dev team left those traces on purpose, knowing that they would eventually be found, as a silent act of protest.

[selwrynn]

I still wish that Homeworld could move past the S'Jet's Karen specifically, but that bloodline generally. Still even that would be better than what HW3 was.

Homeworld 1 was the first ever video game I bought with money from my first ever job, it was also the first space game I ever purchased. A lot of firsts, but she had a THIRST FOR RUIN, and sucked the life out of the most beloved of Ip's for me. I often tell people they have no idea just how POWERFUL a story telling the first games had, and honestly...I started writing because of this game. So seeing it slaughtered so effortlessly by a talentless hack...is just a true tragedy.
