Homeworld

Originally developed in the late 90s by Relic Entertainment, real-time strategy computer game Homeworld might not seem like the best fit for Gearbox. But last year, Gearbox picked up the rights to the franchise during THQ's bankruptcy auction. The studio later announced plans to release Homeworld HD and Homeworld HD 2 remakes along with Homeworld: Shipbreakers, an entirely new game based on the franchise.

"We thought a couple of things should happen," Pitchford said. "One thing is that the original games are great, but it's been a while, and they've never really been released digitally.

"So we invested a lot to remaster the original Homeworld and Homeworld 2. We'll be releasing them on digital platforms in fully remastered — not just ported to work, but fully remastered. If you have a new crazy-ass Nvidia 780TI or an Nvidia Titan and you happen to have one of those $3,000 4K monitors, you're going to see an unbelievable image."

Pitchford says the fidelity of a ship is larger than what can fit on a 4K screen.

"We went nuts in the high-definition treatment on this," he said. "It's really UHD, not just HD. That's too low. We got with the original audio guys and remastered all the audio. It's really impressive."

He said Gearbox overspent on the remastering because Brian Martel, one of Gearbox's founders, is a huge fan of the franchise.

"He's overspent because he wants to right by his own interest in the property," Pitchford said. "They'll come soon, hopefully. We'll announce a date soon."

Gearbox also met with Blackbird Interactive, a studio made up of a lot of the original Homeworld team, who were making a spiritual successor to the Homeworld franchise, but without the brand. Gearbox met with them and liked what they were doing so much that they decided to finance the development as Homeworld: Shipbreakers, and publish the PC game themselves.

Pitchford said he doesn't yet know when that game might come out.
