It's up to the console makers to make the damn things compatible with a keyboard and mouse (PS3 aside). The only real downfall is the fact that it wouldn't work very well on consoles. That means that more of the budget could be spent on exposing the game. The nature of 3D RTS games is such that they don't require massive budgets to produce. Great reviews will sustain the sales and re-introduce the brand. It's simple, eyegasmic trailers coupled with favorable previews will help expose the game. If Relic were to start making a Homeworld, they would likely pull it off. There's a LOT of potential not just for RTS games, but other types as well. The Homeworld universe is rife with lore and depth. You'd be surprised at how many people haven't played Homeworld. Fully 3D RTS games are relatively unkown to must.

Homeworld came out and garnered the collective holy shit of the entire PC market. It came out in a time where 2D RTS' were dominant. With modern graphics it would be absolutely stunning.ДЄlso, to anyone saying it wouldn't sell, you just have to look at the first Homeworld.

We're long overdue for a Homeworld sequel. This forum is rife with Warhammer fanboys. I've grown really weary of Warhammer games, but there's not much I can do about it. Ever since Relic has been making Warhammer games (Dawn of War, etc.) they've not touched any other IP except for Company of Heroes. Sounds like a decent investment to me, but what do I know?Д¬lick to expand.I can give you an answer but you might not like it. Homeworld 3 would not have a single competitor for its smaller market share. Plus, if you go for the big market, you have to compete with other big-budget titles that try to get the same customers you're going for. Making a game that sells 1/100th of the games the last CoD sells isn't too bad if you can reduce the budget by the same amount. It's got to be cheaper to make than a scale-model of New york the player has to run through at a fast, linear pace. Get a few programmers and artists, a cheap engine that does decent particle effects, a male and female voice actor that can hold a monotone, and a good orchestra, and you have the essentials down. You don't need a large number of actors doing motion captures, cinematic cutscenes (Homeworld did just fine with blac&white artwork and the ingame engine) you don't have to make huge complicated levels (a skybox lifted from some Hubble telescope images and put through photoshop, some gas clouds and astroids, and you're good to go), no complicated physics engine and even the models are relatively simple (there aren't that many moving parts to the starships except the turrets).

Plus I don't think it's that expensive to make. It wasn't a hot seller, but I think it still has a good fanbase that would buy a new installment.

I don't know why not much else is being made. And there was Sword of the Stars, but like SoaSE it has only a sandbox mode. I suppose the space-battle part of Empire of War was a bit like it, and the campaign had some sort of story.
