Bet they'll lower the difficulty too, for the masses. I remember Homeworld 2 being pretty damned tough.

HW2 was tough in the beginning (the 10th mission iirc), where you were surrounded by 10 battlecrousers, 3 carriers, several destroyers etc. But then they patched that thing out, and it was manageable 
Still, I remember my dad used to play HW (HW1, Cataclysm and HW2) like crazy  It still is one of the best games I remember playing
So if they make better graphics, but leave other things as they are, then that's fine by me

i hope (or dream) for better gfx, uses of latest dx tech, fully compatible with win 7 and x64 systems, better modding tools.

Not sure if posted yet.. but this is what the gearbox fella who was behind most of it is saying:

Too bad Gearderps are doing the remake. We've seen what their last couple of efforts have been like.

(On hold now due to this being announced.)
Textures alone make a pretty good difference already, if they add some fancy DirectX (Or what they are using.) effects and update the 3D models it could look pretty fantastic and hopefully retain most of the gameplay the way the (original) fans want it but what would I know. 
Of course if the focus is on consoles and next-gen consoles it might turn out differently but so far things remain quite positive. |
Knowing Gearbox and their inner laziness, they will probably just steal this mod and use it without the creators' consent. Then they'll add bloom, some cheap motion blur effect, achievements and that's it, HD version (20€ at least) ready to deploy!  |

| Quote: | Homeworld 1 HD and Classic are separate purchases from Homeworld 2 HD and Classic. $15 each as far as I've read.
HW1 and 2 backups weren't there so Gearbox had to contact many different parties to get the source files.
Gearbox got Paul Ruskay on board to remake the audio. GB didn't get any source files from the auction, so Ruskay re-visited his old work, Studio-X provided all the .dat sound files
Full commercial release of Homeworld 1 & 2 music.
Cinematics are being completely redrawn
They're selling merchandise in some form or another (e.g. upscaled concept art and clothes)
Dependent on demand, GB will look into
Artbook of Homeworld being in the works
Collectors' Edition physical release with soundtrack, artbook, stuff like that |

If they can just release both working on the latest versions of windows and with proper widescreen support without touching anything else i'll be happy.

| Quote: | "So we invested a lot to remaster the original Homeworld and Homeworld 2. We'll be releasing them on digital platforms in fully remastered — not just ported to work, but fully remastered. If you have a new crazy-ass Nvidia 780TI or an Nvidia Titan and you happen to have one of those $3,000 4K monitors, you're going to see an unbelievable image," Pitchford said.
"We went nuts in the high-definition treatment on this," he added. "It's really UHD, not just HD. That's too low. We got with the original audio guys and remastered all the audio. It's really impressive." |

If it was an actual remake with love and care and effort, it would be awesome, but we all know they're simply going to ship the older titles with "high resolution", slap some cheevos into it and be done
