Dune: Spice Wars
Dune 2000 > Dune: Spice Wars
Seriously, I have been watching some footage of this and I can't help but feel that Dune 2000 is the superior Dune experience.

...which is kind of sad tbh....

....also yes I am a sweaty mouth-breather.

I love Dune, Dune2 and Dune2000.... I have Dune2000 soundtrack to listen to

now, this game is nothing like Dune2000, different scale, mechanics, and all.... so it's kind of funny when people say one or another is better.... they are not comparable, both are good in their own way.... albeit this one is somewhat lacking even if I have fun, but it has nothing to do with older games.

why spit out your opinion as universal truth?
All the games of Dune are good in their own right. I have played them all, but coming onto this forum and starting an argument cause your entitlements weren't met, is not what people want to see anymore. They are on the internet to find and download. More than likely, those games are going to get a DRM put on GoG here very soon if they haven't already. If you don't like the style of Civ or any 4X or Grand strategy game, then don't play it. It is high time people stop arguing and stop verbal attacks on anything they wish. Not how things will improve in this world. Just ignore and move on and please close this thread. Lost count on how many of these threads have started and closed since Spice Wars launched in EA.

That's an incorrect comparison. Both those games are good ;3

I am kidding of course, I get your point, but its still the same IP trying to achieve similar gameplay ambitions despite being closely related in playstyle, yet different enough to be considered separate subgenres.

Wow great opinion, looks like you made this thread just to whine about how they didn't remake dune2000.

Here's an idea, if dune2000 is better then go and play dune2000 and let this thread die.
Anyone who likes the dune franchise/universe has probably played or heard of dune2000.

So again, different game genre. Omg so sorry shiro didn't remake dune2000.

Go and play dune2000.

I shall.

It is a certified hood classic at this point. Few games can be on par with it.

It was a classic RTS game, nostalgia glasses aside.
The irony is that Dune 2000 was eviscerated in reviews at release because it was basically a remake of Dune 2 and felt archaic compared to even other Dune games.
mods need to make a different forum category for these older dune games, so you can continue discussing it elsewhere

Yup, irony thats all. Today Dune2000 is considered one of the best RTS ever made lol.
Today, thousands of games should be "eviscerated" and are praised instead. As you said, irony.

You know, the fact that players like Dune 2000 and feel the footage of Dune Spice Wars is not reassuring, is an opinion.
You remember how everyone was simping for Red Alert remaster and how it got top scores from every outlet and week after release it was a dead memory of distant past?

Nostalgia is a powerful drug.

It makes you think your childhood was better then it actually was.
It makes you miss your ex who in retrospect displayed more red flags then soviet parade.
It makes you think you were the cool kid at school.

But the reality is, you had no standards and no idea what was going on back then.
Congratulations you made the most Head up your Bum post of the day. You probably think it was clever, thus proving the point.

Nobody says that, maybe fanboys.. I never heard Dune 2000 as a best even good RTS.. only some dune fans plays it and younger generation who saw Dune 2000 but not Dune 2 just defends or talk about it as it's the last game they saw about Dune..

Emperor would be much better but it's visual problems makes it a chore to play sadly. Emperor may get a remake too and after fixed it's gameplay issues, it would be fantastic..
Dune 2000 is actually terrible to play. People remember it for the cutscenes.
Emperor would be much better but it's visual problems makes it a chore to play sadly.

Cutscenes were of poor quality (except a nice beginning!) and missing near the end; it's as if the further you got, the less cutscenes you got, and the poorer they were too. The harkonnen (rabban vs gunseng) was interesting though. I felt Ordos mentat was out-of-character. Some tracks were good but some others were bad. Too much electric guitar tbh.

Units were 3D, and this lacked identity. Many different units still, which was a plus, but all played in a global mess. Missile fire was excellent and a plus. Pathfinding was horrible.

spice harvesting was autonomous, which is a plus considering this would have been a chore in that game, but also a flaw because it was so unlike dune RTS to just "never bother about it".

Unit control was poor. So poor and wrong that I just had to mass produce, mass click, and almost never bother. It was brainless. I preferred Dune 2 gameplay, before the C&C stuff, but this one needed balance because of very long battles. I still appreciated the C&C cutscenes.

I wish we could have a modernized Dune 2 with pixel art mentats + great text + actor or graphical cutscenes too, and 2D units instead of 3D.

lol what? considered by whom? BY you? definitely not the greatest rts ever made. Gameplay wise starcraft is far better, which people play it to this day.

By who?
You are the very first person I've seen said that in last 25 years.

It is grandfather of RTS, but its nowhere near "considered one of the best" at anything.

You have overdozed hard on nostalgia and copium with that statement.
The grandfather of RTS is Dune 2 not Dune 2000.
( Herzog Zwei had some RTS elements but was more arcade in its gameplay )

Dune 2000 (which came out 24 years ago) is "only" the C&C remake of Dune 2. It combines the C&C advantages and flaws and the Dune 2 theme and mechanics. C&C was the father of Dune 2000.

Dune 2 predates it, and does everything Dune 2000 does, the few C&C landmarks aside.

If you listen to more Dune fans you are going to hear a lot more people from now.

Because yes it is mentioned as one of the best RTS ever released, like this first answer on google about it from indieretronews.

Dune II was one of the best RTS games ever released, an all time classic developed by one of the greatest developers Westwood, which was released for the Amiga, MS-DOS and even the Sega Megadrive.

Myself, as I mentioned elsewhere I replayed all 4 past video games recently. And I felt Dune 2 had the preferrable gameplay experience too. Dune 1 had the best music and I liked Dune 2000 cutscenes though. Emperor had the most unique unit trees. Each had some of its own quality.

But the most balanced experience - battle duration aside - was Dune 2 imho. The most "rewarding" one may be Dune 2000 because of the "cutscenes reward" you got when you progress.

You have overdozed hard on nostalgia and copium with that statement.

Ad hominem.

Completely different type of game. One is an RTS and one is a 4X. No point in comparison. You might as well say Starcraft 2 is better than this game.
Yes but I really think he means it contributes more as a Dune experience to him
(feeling Dune, experiencing Dune, having a more complete experience over everything, feeling committed to it, having more new experiences in memory, etc I digress)

but on that aspect I think we'll need to wait for campaign / text / story / atmosphere to really judge the rest.
