Next Dune RTS

[Dunenewt]

Are ww going to make another Dune rts?

[Gunseng_Harkonnen]

I hope so

[Ligic_Tha_Master]

Not likely.

[Timenn]

First comes a whole serie of c&c-games...  :-/ :-/ :-/

[Dunenewt]

is emp jus a test bed 4 the 3d game engine?

[Gobalopper]

I don't think so. IG will probably use the engine again but I doubt Westwood will. They are probably working on their own engine.

[bob_fox]

If they do make another Dune game, they must use a graphics engine similar to the one used in Empire Earth because some people find Emperor a little too demanding (e.g. I have a Duron 600 with 160 MEGS of RAM and a TNT2 M64 (alright, so it isn't such a brilliant screencard) and sometimes it doesn't run the game too smoothly).

[Timenn]

It's the game what is sometimes slow, not the computer...

[Gobalopper]

The game is slow because your computer is slow. :)

Which just goes to show how detailed Emperor actually is.

[Timenn]

My system specs. are really enough for Emperor(far better). Online I see that everyone has the same speed. (except for the slow ones)

[Dunenewt]

my pc has the specs Sven described and neway if the spec had 2 b undemanding they couldn't make the game so good

Well now that we have heard officially that Westwood would not make another Dune game what is the community to do? I mean does anybody think anyone else will try to make another Dune game. I for one did not like the Cryo's Frank Herbert Dune. With other games like C&C, TS etc, etc in the RTS genre get more attention would that even warrant another company even devolping a Dune game? I liked Emperor but due to the information Gob has posted on the hompage, Dune Generations is the last game standing for the Dune community. Come you fanatics let your voice be heard I want to know what you think.

[jacobdouds]

What are the C&C games coming out. I have heard of,

Tiberium Twilight.

Tiberium Moon.

any others. I really like the Tiberium series.

[jacobdouds]

I do really hope that they make another dune game as these are my favourite stratagy games of all time. Only comparing to Squaresofts final fantasy RPG's.

[Wizpig]

I'm pretty sure that they'll continue to make Dune games, after all, Dune was the forerunner of games like Warcraft, Starcraft, and C&C. In my mind, that always gives it the potenal to be better, cooler, and bigger.

I wasn't to happy with that new action dune game, but I don't think Dune was ever known for action games.

[Aribites]

i disagree!!!!  I think the c&c games have been the best games produced bi ww EVER!!!!!!

[Wizpig]

Cool, I'm glad you feel that way. If we all agreed about Dune, and it's games, then why would there be message boards about it?

Personaly I enjoy Dune more then C&C, and I hope they make another RTS.

[quoudam72]

If anybody makes it it won't be Westwood. We talked about this before (on another thread) when and if someone else plans to make another Dune RTS I hope Sid Meier's name is in the equation.  

[DuneFanatic]

Westwood shouldn't abandon the game that made them well known...

If more people knew about and played the dune games, they will like them.  

I think just about anyone who likes command and conquer will like dune just as much.  The problem lies within westwood's lack of advertising.

[jacobdouds]

It is a very large market and should not be abandoned when they could do so much more. They could makes games based on the butlerian Jihad for example. Kill the thinking machines.

[Ligic_Tha_Master]

I believe Westwood will make another Dune game.

There are so many possibilities of different games based on Dune universe.

[Sardauker-Kirov]

Like i mentiond before, They need to make an Renegade game in dune style. Or atleast a WW2 Online based game, So you can get inside a Ordos Laser tank and ride around, Kill all the Irritating civilians And get the chance you will get swallowed by a Worm. Isnt that right timenn :)

[Ligic_Tha_Master]

Timenn could design the worms.
