It complety went beyond me that there was a new dune game on kickstarter and from the sorry state of that campaign i wasnt the only one. I would pay for a dune 200 remake and a new dune game. Man they need to market such a campaign much better so that all the old fans can see it. How could they not get the money they need for a new dune game.

Yea, saw that. Quite some of the designs, like the refinery and windtrap, were very clearly not even from Dune 2000 or Emperor, but actual Dune II designs. Which is really neat.

But, well, as my original reply here said, the Dune games were licensed, and their license holders would probably not appreciate a project like that, so even though this new project didn't directly use the IP, they probably did try to be subtle about it to avoid getting a C&D.

And subtle and kickstarter don't really mix well...

I think thats the problem here. If you want to kickstart a rts game you need to activate all the old rts fans. Being sneaky will not get you what you need. How about they get the rights to do a video game from the Frank Herbert Dune Estate? Then they can go official and all out and then they will get their kickstart money i am sure.

By the way... very nice overview of Dune and its impact on gaming:

I recently just bought the original boxed/case versions of Dune 2K and Emperor for archival purposes. As much as I love the idea of them coming back as Nyerguds has mentioned the licensing issues would not allow it.

As much as I love them and played the absolute hell out of both of them as a kid, I can't say that I would ever pick them over C&C TD:RA3. Emperor did some interesting things with faction alliances that I wish they'd taken over in to other games (Tleilaxu were great harassment units) but I was never able to see a campaign through to completion: I'd just get bored and often found the mechanic of only being able to build on bedrock limiting. At least in Emperor they did away with concrete being a requirement to not having your buildings crumble and introduced unit diversity between the factions.

Emperor BFD had some kick-ass music for all the factions.

OpenRA has support for Dune 2000, check that out.

The Herbert Estate are jerks defiling the memory of Dune by publishing Brian's bad fanfiction as canon and refusing to allow the old games to be sold. They don't deserve a cent.

The kickstarter failed to fund anyway, but the dev promises to come back in the future. Hopefully with better marketing.

Always feared my opinion on the last books in the saga were rare. Honestly, the "Oh ♥♥♥♥ we have to finish this" in the last book... It is horendous! It's GOT 8th season bad.

Good to see I'm not alone.

1+ I still have the game on CD.

It's a pretty big split in the fandom. Anybody who engages in literary criticism disregards Brian's books as generic pulp with the Dune name slapped on. Check out Quinn's Ideas on youtube for a videos analyzing this stuff.

That may be true, but Westwood did not actually make any of the Dune games after Dune II.

Both Dune 2000 and Emperor: Battle For Dune were outsourced to the British company Intelligent Games, which they had also contracted for making the multiplayer maps in the Red Alert expansion packs.

The Dune games were on a license to be made based on the 1984 film i believe. Not the actual novel. Surely a company owns those still (guessing its EA). Why cant these be re-acquired.

Would love to see a remake of it too. Hopefully we get a new game based on the upcoming 2020 film? Doubt it, who knows.
