Rather than simply fixing the formations that we’re familiar with from the original games, the Homeworld team have taken things several steps further.

So far they’ve have poured six months (!) into this patch to make their vision a reality, and from what I’ve seen so far, it’s just about there.įormations are getting a complete rework. As the Dave stressed repeatedly during the interview “we didn’t want or expect the patch to take this long”, but they have a vision for Homeworld Remastered that they want to see realized, no matter how long it takes. The Homeworld team understands everyone’s frustration. Combine this with the fact that the patch has turned out to be a massive project, and you have the explanation as to why we’ve all been kept in the dark for so long.

Homeworld, however, is being self-published by Gearbox, which means the marketing and community management support that, say, their Battleborn or Borderlands IP’s receive simply doesn’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 – 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. I’d like to emphasize that Gearbox has not been ignoring Homeworld – in fact, they’ve gone far above and beyond the call of duty, which I’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.

Homeworld fans have been impatiently awaiting an update to Gearbox’s remastering of Homeworld for a few reasons, the big ones being that ship formations don’t work very well, and the single player has several known bugs in certain missions.
