System requirements are out, not as insane as they could be. Let's hope they're using the delay for optimization as well. https://www.homeworlduniverse.com/homeworld-3-system-requirements/ https://twitter.com/HomeworldGame/status/1729561843658604910

Raytracing can look amazing when it's implemented well but it is such a framerate killer that it's a hard sell for many. Stuff like frame generation and dlss are impressive tools to make it more usable but I worry that they'll be used as shortcuts to avoid doing the hard work to optimize games to run smoothly on multiple hardware setups.

Well, took my PC long enough, but it finally fell out of the minimum viability range. Looks like I can... *checks finances* upgrade my PC back up to spec around Spring 2025. Welp, guess at least I should consider myself lucky most of the games I bought this year still ran. Somewhat.

Deep inside the ruin was a single stone that would change the course of our history forever. On the stone was etched countless numbers and a single word more ancient than the clans themselves: Hockeyra Our game.

Can't be worse than 2!  I dunno, Blackbird seems to have some good chops, I'm not entirely without hope but I'm definitely not as jazzed as I once was.

I said come in! posted:How are we feeling about Homeworld 3 though? Its been in development hell for a long time now. Is it development hell or just development? As far as I know they haven't cancelled and restarted work on it, or passed work around from one company to another, which I'd classify as signs of trouble. They've just been working on it for a long time with a single (unless I'm forgetting something?) delay in there earlier in the year.

Yeah, pretty much, when I think "dev hell" I think of something like BGE2.

It's funny, I've been playing Battlestar Galactica: Deadlock lately and while it's been scratching the Homeworld itch a bit, I loving HATE turn-based RTSes (which there's no real point to it being because there's no enemy turn, just a planning phase and an action phase) so I'm glad Homeworld 3 actually has a real release date now.

Cautious. 2023 has been a terrible year for AA+ releases for me with a few exceptions. A lot of titles I was looking forward to this year ended up releasing as wet farts, and I'm really hoping HW3 doesn't do the same "Well it's 80% done but here it is at full price! We'll be back to fix it in a month or 6"

It had a prototype called starhammer or something but that was just making sure the system worked. Anyway BBI has reliably made good stuff so I feel pretty okay saying Homeworld 3 will be good.
