With Sega's purchase of Relic, hopefully they can pick up the Homeworld franchise and do something with it again!

Sega actually just purchased Relic and the Company of Heroes IP. Homeworld, and other legacy IPs, are to be sold later.

Yes, or continue Dawn of War (maybe even go back to the first installment's RTS approach?)
I'm actually quite pleased with that, Sega seems like a good home for Relic. They seem to do ok with The Creative Assembly (Total War games). Homeworld 3 please :)
Was Homeworld 2 any good, by the way ?
more slow paced than the first one ( + extension by barking dog studio ), but still a good homeworld game
I agree. It was a bit 'easier' in that there were features like automatically vacuuming up all resources on a map once a mission was complete. The graphics were more modern (not that Homeworld 1 had any problems in that department) and I seem to recall the tech tree being a bit more streamlined? Also a better UI - much more information could be on screen at the same time.
About the automatic resources vaccuming, I preferred the homeworld 1 way, where you could rebuild your fleet at the end of the mission (cataclysm added a much needed time warp).
Still my favorite RTS.
"Crytek, who is currently developing Homefront 2, has purchased the rights to the Homefront franchise."
later on, they revealed it was $500,000
OP was regarding Homeworld, not Homefront.
