Ammon Ra I eat your Mecha I EAT DEM ALL Join Date: Mar 2002 Location: Europe.	The three yellow/orange ones that are blured, despite being blurred, it's clearly obvious that they're Rob's work, and they look similar to HW2 artwork... nudge hint wink

Norsehound Tells a story Join Date: Jul 2003 Location: Palifca Artificial Habitat, L5	I think they just reposted some Homeworld 2 screenshots/concept arts. I hope it's for HW3, but I'm not allowing my hopes to be decapitated if they're wrong.

NiXiM Guest	This is good stuff, Will probably do a submission myself. After all, Relic's visual establishement in the games is a big inspiration for my symphony music im creating. Abaddon: Was more looking at those "red" pictures, it looks like fire but if my mind is on the right place I could say thats it look like a Sun in space or a starsystem. Yeah..vote for HW3 also Last edited by NiXiM : 20th Feb 08 at 1:51 AM.

Wintermute Member Join Date: Mar 2007 Location: The sprawl	I'm gonna just go ahead and say that as much as I want it, I don't think their super-secret-special project will be Homeworld 3. I'd rather be surprised than get my hopes up only to have them dashed. In other news, I can't get Gold_O's fan video to work. Is a special codec needed? __________________ A Brave New Homeworld.

Do you think Buggo et al expects this kinda of in-depth analysis of pictures every time they're posted or does it still come as a surprise?

Sadly, they are.

Also, thanks for the suggestion about VLC. I used to have it but then I had to wipe my computer. Haven't re-installed it yet.

As I hadn't watched Goldo_O's video before, I'll have to say it now:
That was very creative and impressive. Awesome.

Jianaran Member Join Date: Apr 2005 Location: Tasmania, Australia	Buggo, by "Relic's Biggest Fan" are you looking for Relic-fandom in general, or would being a fan of one Relic game (or series...) in particular suffice?
