I just hope it ends up decent.

Sounds like some standard BS hype, likely to justify some ridiculous price point they have in mind.

Yeah i hope this isn't going to turn out like the aliens game.

I wonder whose money they overspent...

None. No one said they overspent. They just "overspent" in terms of trying to provide the best possible image quality.

I'll wait to see the result, but I'm happy that they've touched up the graphics.

Ahh, so they overspent on bullshit.

Well, Pitchford has plenty of that to spare.

True Pitchford is bullshit PR at its best.

"Overspend" can't have a good meaning. Why would they use that word ? Ok I got my answer :)

My thoughts exactly.

He was probably trying to make it seem like he really wanted to get that game...ya know, for the fans.

Overspent = no expenses spared = it's going to look soooo nice

Or

Overspent = should have spent that somewhere else = their priorities were skewed.

If this was PR thing, it's a stupid way to do it because it's ambiguous. Regardless, watch gameplay videos before buying, profit.

Got to wonder why no one else could bid higher to get the IP instead of these clowns....

I heard this title the other day in relation to another, can someone just say briefly what kind of game this is or what other games it's comparable to??? (that's what I'm trying to remember, what the other game was where several reviewers said it was homeworld clone.

Stuff that would be worthwhile in a re-release:

• Updated textures
• Updated models
• Updated background images (even if they just add some dithering to reduce banding)
• Increased "tick rate" / precision for unit movement
• Increased draw distance

The game already supports high resolutions pretty well :P
(see here for instructions for running the game at high/wide resolutions. If only the UI could be scaled up...)

It's a 3D space RTS.

You might be thinking of O.R.B. Off-World Resource Base? (looking at the "Most helpful review")
Some other games with some similarities to Homeworld:

Far Gate
Star Wolves
Starmageddon
