Samuel BarberAdagio for StringsHomeworld Soundtrack

Write me 1500 words on how 1999's Homeworld and 2001's Halo:CE, having similar overall settings and plot structures, used their groundbreaking scores to tell very different stories.

Then I'll accord you the right to have an opinion about... idk... Secrets of the Magic Crystal.

Track in link is the choral version of Samuel Barber's Angus Dei - Adagio for Stings as prepared for Homeworld. Arguably one of the most iconic tracks in the history of gaming. Gamers of a certain age will still feel their spine tingle and their throat close up...

      They're getting us ready for 3

      Also the remastered ones are beautiful, but I think lose some of the mechanics in the originals (they had to basically totally remake 1 because the source code was lost).

      They also can't remaster Emergence/Cataclysm for the same reason, but because it was so vastly different from 2 it can't even be attempted without a total ground up rebuild.
