Obscured antonyms. Homeworld: Cataclysm, the standalone expansion to the magnificent trans-galactic RTS, was not included with the Collection released by Gearbox in 2015. The reasons still aren't entirely clear, although does a good job of summarizing the confusion and conflict over ownership rights, missing source code, and whether or not the code was really needed in the first place. The bottom line, though, was that Cataclysm was not coming back.But now it has come back, though not remastered and with a slightly different name——but playable out of the box (in the digital sense) and exactly as it was when it was new. Set 15 years after the story told in Homeworld, Emergence follows a minor mining clan called Kiith Somtaaw, which stumbles upon a deadly nanobot infestation that threatens to overwhelm the galaxy.

It features the same basic gameplay as its predecessor, expanded with new ship and technologies, and 'enhanced fleet management' that makes corralling your forces in real-time 3D space a little bit easier.' The source code is in fact lost, but we didn’t need it to work on the game and make it compatible with modern OSes,' a GOG rep explained. 'We worked closely with Gearbox Software and used the builds we had in-house.' As for the new title, that's a precautionary move. 'Cataclysm' is now a registered trademark of Blizzard Entertainment, Inc., and the game has been renamed to avoid confusion,' GOG said.Homeworld: Emergence is available now for ten percent off its regular $10 price until June 29. GOG has also picked up the newer, ground-based prequel RTS, which is 66 percent off ($17) until June 29, and has the on sale too for $12.

Welcome to Cataclysm Remastered!This mod is an effort to bring HW Cataclysm into the new Remastered engine and the HWRM collection.Currently includes multiplayer / player vs CPU as Somtaaw, Beast or any vanilla race.

Homeworld: Cataclysm is the part-sequel, part-mission pack. Game, Beast players must capture and reverse-engineer ships before they can. Criticise its unwieldy 3D system, its cartoonish graphics, its hackneyed storyline. Five minutes into Cataclysm and the glassy-eyed stare of concentration, the lack of awareness regarding the real world, the nervous twitching on my fingers and the slowly-drying reservoir of sputum forming on my chin gave me my answer. Homeworld is back.
