This is not Dune 2000 remastered :(

I was hoping for Dune 2000 remastered, but we got this, oh well. Q_Q

I don't want another "C&C style" game out of Dune.

Imo, Dune always deserved a more 'grand strategy' style of platform. That is how it was originally designed with the very first Dune game, while the later entries always featured some type of "world overview" and the ability to "conquer territories" but none of it was fully realized. It was basically just a gimmick, as the missions themselves were always the same like the the C&C series. Emperor: Battle for Dune being the most ambitious.

I think them doing something like what was done with Northgard is going to fit tremendously well with the Dune universe. They're going to be able to add more layers to the game and be able to pull more elements from the books, like diplomacy/assassinations, rather than using the "C&C style", where each mission is basically the same thing over and over. As in, building a base, massing units and hording the enemy, rinse repeat. This type of gameplay is archaic imo.

I think Dune: Spice Wars is in good hands. I really liked the formula of mixing the "civ-style 4X" mechanics with real-time gameplay and think that the potential of this game formula hasn't been fully tapped into yet.


Also, knowing the Herbert Family and their position of the older Dune games, they'd never give the green light on resurrecting the older games imo. People have asked them for ages to release the older games and/or remaster them. They've had a firm stance on those old games "remaining in the past".

Those older games aren't even on GOG or anything because they don't want them to be, even though people have asked for them for years.

I wished the old dune games from westwood (and even the cryo adventure) would be boughtable again. I always check steam and gog for a rerelease but nothing happens.

I think that those are freeware. You can download and play them via OpenRA.

Edit: I also hoped to see this new game be closer to Dune 2000. Wishlisted regardless.

If you like traditional RTS games like Dune, have a look to the game "Reconquest". It looks nice, you even see imprints in the sand made by the vehicles. It has a campaign and skirmish mode but unfortuneatly it lacks multiplayer. And it is not so expensive. In times where traditional RTS games are rare, this is a gem.

But I can´t recommend Homeworld - Deserts of Kharak. I thought it looks similar to Dune but it lacks basebuilding.

Its a shame they went with a civilization style game definitely will have to pass for me, this is definitely not what I want in a dune game, theres just so many civ clones out there already, we don't need yet another one.

First off, Dune 2000 is never getting remastered, secondly, if a Dune game deserves a remaster, it would either be Emperor or 2, not 2000 which was a C&C reskin and completely horrible to the Sega Genesis version of Dune 2, like seriously, how could you take the awesome anti tank twin barrel Siege Tank, and then turn it into a broken piece of crap that makes infantry obselete, outranges defenses, and the infantry being so bad, vehicles way too fast esspecialy considering the terrain, like, i loved that game back in the day but it was so bad and i realized it when i played the Gruntsmod Edition of it....

I would like Dune 2000 remake as well but this is awesome. I wanted a dune RTS for a while.

This is not a RTS, its Civilization with a Dune skin. It is avaivable digitaly, its Gruntsmod. And no, believe me, you do not want a remake of a fan loved game in the 2020s, it cant be done justice.

YOU ARE RIGHT!

When I see how many trolls are whining about: why are Atriedies not blue, Harkonnen red, or are there going to be Ordos? However, there was an Ordos House (which was never mentioned in the real saga). It would be interesting to see House Verinus, Richese, or Bene Tlailaxu factions.

If this game will look like Dune 2K or Emperror: Battle for Dune, then I would be a little bit disappointed.

...and which btw even had a totally different emblem. The one used in the previous games actually was taken from house Wallach.

Dune 2 >> Dune 2000

someone said "You can stop checking, the Herbert Estate will never allow it."
and to me that sounds like, "someone is going to have to seduce Brian, marry him, wait for him to die of old age, and then, after the funeral, announce Dune 3 RTS with FMV directed by Joe Kucan with music by Frank Klepacki and Iron Maiden."
I mean that is just what it sounded like to me.

Why not?. Atleast i wished it was available digitally. All i have now is a CD copy that no longer works.

Same.

@OP And thats a good thing, Spice Wars looks waaay better, played enough old RTS formula and i'm sick of that micromanagement of units, looks like crap and unnatural.

Dune has gotten so many strategy games, the only game I want to see redone (or rather, finished properly finally) is Widescreen's 2001 one

[Wolfen]

The more i see about this, the more i'd wish someone would just remake Dune 2000 for the RTS and a good Crusader Kings 3 mod for the 4X.

I hope it doesnt will be Dune 2000
