HOMEWORLD 3?

[DuX1112]

This is disturbing, though (sourced from Wikipedia): "According to Relic Entertainment, the reason for the (CoHO) servers being shut down is the developers' new unnamed RTS project which will be unveiled in August 2011." Sounds like CoHO/CoH 2 to me...

Ugh... :/ Aren't people sick and tired from all those WW2 games... So, okay, a full-blooded COH Online may be into play. Even though COH does badly on the poll...

Fleet Command, online. For Hiigara!

Anyways... Here's that old Eurogamer article from 2008: http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/relic-definitely-looking-at-homeworld-3

Speculation that THQ-owned Relic was working on a new version emerged last year with the news that the US publisher had acquired the franchise rights from Vivendi.

"We're really happy the IP has made its way home, and yeah, we're definitely looking at it. We'll see what happens in the future," Dawn of War II lead designer Jonny Ebbert told us.

Asked whether it was one of the studio's current projects, Ebbert said: "There's always that chance." And are they excited about showing it to the world? "Yes, very, very!" he chuckled.

We also tried it on with Company of Heroes: Tales of Valor designer Chris Degnan, asking him how Homeworld 3 was looking. He replied: "As it always has - behind closed doors. Blacked off. Homeworld 3, obviously, I'm not at liberty to tell you anything about. So, good try!"

Three announced games are in development at Relic: Dawn of War II, Company of Heroes: Tales of Valor and Company of Heroes Online, being co-developed with Shanda for the Asian market.

General manager Tarrnie Williams admitted there were "three or four" titles in the works at Relic. "It depends how you count; whether you use the old math or the new math." He declined to explain the difference.

According to this article though: http://translate.google.bs/translate?js=n&prev=_t&hl=de&ie=UTF-8&layout=2&eotf=1&sl=de&tl=en&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.pcgames.de%2FCompany-of-Heroes-PC-107340%2FNews%2FCompany-of-Heroes-2-Enthuellung-koennte-kurz-bevorstehen-810104%2F

... CoHO will be NO MORE, i.e. it is ended, and the new sequel would be CoH2. Here's the blog post from CoH's website: http://www.companyofheroes.com/announcements/one-week-left-for-coho

It says:

Thank you once more for being a part of Company of Heroes Online. Everyone at Relic appreciates the love that fans clearly have for the game, and hope that you'll be pleased with what we're working on as the next step for the franchise.

BUT, that's the team that is ALREADY working (and has been working) on CoH/CoHO, right? Which leaves one more team unaccounted for, right? Wrong (Space Marine)? Hmm... :|

POLL UPDATE:

DOW/DOW2: 201
Homeworld: 180
COH: 92

Possible overtaking of DOW, over. Anyways, even if they don't plan on working on Homeworld 3 this summer, at least this poll will tell Relic that people do want it, and have fond memories of it. And all in all, we don't know, we just speculate. Thanks to all who have voted, and to those who haven't - please do! Love you all, thanks for the support!

DOW/DOW2 219
HOMEWORLD 221

WE WIN!

That's funny coming from someone with a Dawn of War avatar.

But seriously as much as I love the Dawn of War series it would be nice to see a Homeworld 3. considering I never got the chance to play the others.

ive only seen gameplay vids of homeworld on youtube my comp just wont run it (stupid Win7)

any way i voted homeworld because of the dissapointment that was Dawn of Eldar: Eldar Crusade/Eldarstorm and DOW2 Retribution

 

[Nouw]

Never played Homeworl even though I should.
[sub]But..but... Company of Heroes is the greatest RTS of all time >.>[/sub]

 

[winginson]

Please please please let it be Homeworld. The original had the best story*, 2 was fun still, and cataclysm was a bit weird but very fun and had a good story**

Interesting new question from Relic.

[TrevHead]

Yeah very intresting. And since it is a FB poll, anyone reading that had better vote!

 

[DuX1112]

OK PEOPLE IMPORTANT! Another Relic Entertainment poll, which lets people add their most anticipated game to the voting list. Someone added Homeworld 3, so, I'd appreciate your votes!

Here's the link (on Facebook again): http://www.facebook.com/home.php?sk=question&id=10150215331758610

P.S. We did absolutely awesome on the previous poll and made the DOW franchise eat dust with almost 100 votes behind HW3! If we could do it then, we can do it now too! A big thanks to everyone for supporting the idea of Homeworld 3 being made, and let's keep those votes coming!

 

[DuX1112]

OKAY Relic are really picking this up! And they're pulling our noses? Or? There's a whole new poll about their new unannounced RTS in august, and the question is this:

"You may of heard that we're announcing a new RTS game in August. Help us out and pick what it should be, we need to start working on it pretty soon."

However all the answers are... a joke. Heh... so, what do you make of this?

EDIT, forgot to put the link to the latest poll: http://www.facebook.com/home.php?sk=question&id=10150219410278610&qa_ref=qd

So basically Relic Entertainment are trolling us... -_-

 

[DuX1112]

Any one still following this thread?

 

[DasDestroyer]

I remember enjoying Homeworld 2 so much when I was a kid...
This seems like a legit reason to log into FB account that I haven't used for a year now...

OMG IMPOSSIBLE CREATURES
I still play that game every now and then...
Scratch voting for Homeworld, I'm voting for IC, however futile that may be.

I loved Homeworld 1. It had a great story. Cataclysm had an adequate story. Homeworld 2 had a pretty bad story. But all the games were fantastic to play. I still play all of them from time to time.I have never loved a real time strategy game more than the Homeworld series.
That said, if they can't or wont make the game play as deep and fun as the original series I almost hope they don't make one at all.
