"Homeworld II"

Anyone getting this? I've had it on pre-order from Amazon for a while, and they shipped it this morning. The original game was outstanding, and the Cataclysm standalone was very enjoyable. The shots of this game look awesome, and from what I hear, much of the basic gameplay remains unchanged, which is good, because it rocked.

Comments?

now that's another feature i'm gonna love. not necessarily the engines, but the weapon systems, maybe. if you have to buy seperate wep systems for cruiser like the sub-systems on the carrier, then it'll be an absolute stonker of a game!

can't wait!!!!

im getting HW2....for FREE! won it on GAD, and i've been waiting a while. typical that it's released on friday: that means it wont come on sat or sun.

but yes, i'm anticipating the larger ships. maybe, just maybe they'll introduce some big-ass stuff this time. the size of the cap ship launching platform on the mothership looks promising :)

it's huge!

the thing is, even with my FX5600 it does struggle a little bit, but thats on 1024x768 - but no detail geo. christ that's detailed.....

Sounds pretty good but I've already got too many games to buy :S

And don't forget the engines, to stop those pesky ships trying to flee. The salvage crews can bring them home under their own power...
