After years, I’ve finally uploaded these fanastic Homeworld 2 cutscenes.
A reader of mine—whose name has been lost in time—ripped them for me a long time ago. And by pure luck, he couldn’t find the dialog audio files, which are streamed separatly from the score and ambient soundtrack. The result, is an almost abstract series of beautiful aesthetic-centric science fiction vignettes that seem to have no purpose, other than to be cool and awesome.
It’s like science fiction porn that way; just enough story to support what we came to see… Something something desert world, something something starships… I get it.
Now, my Youtube skills are weak, and I can’t figure out how to retain the quality of the original files, so if you’re so inclined feel free to download the originals yourself.
If you’re into that kind of thing, the Homeworld 2 script is available for download. I was looking around for videos of their cutscenes, which are fucking cool, but couldn’t find them. Damn.
Update: Here they are.
