mikew30 Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 Hi Everyone: Just asking do you think there be another Dune game after Emperor Battle for Dune story line? I like to see want the new Emperor does and will he start wars on other Houses. Just a thought but I hope there be a new dune game down the road from EA or other game company.

Tezcatlipoca Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 Using that storyline, I hope not. If they do decide to do a new Dune game, I hope they do it "right" and use the books as their template, not a heavily distorted version of distorted (but good) movies.I enjoyed the previous games; a lot. But I think their time is over and it's time to make games that are a bit less molded and a bit more interested.Give me a job an the Dune licence, and I'll make you a game you'll abandon crack to play.

MrFlibble Posted April 29, 2006 Share Posted April 29, 2006 I hope there will be no games in the EBFD storyline, and definitely no games based on prequels :PDune Generations... Something like that, or even better ::)BTW, there could be a Hitman-style game in the Dune universe with a main character who is an assasin in the service of the Emperor or maybe some rich Great House. He'd travel to different planets on his missions, and thus a broad picture of Duneiverse could be projected onto our monitors ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The loss that was Dune Generations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erjin999 Posted April 30, 2006 Share Posted April 30, 2006 The one that was never completed ? Was it RPG ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 The one that was never completed ? Was it RPG ?Not really, although it had some elements (you picked some stuff about yourself).It was more of a RTS like homeworld, and whatever the game Gob liked back a couple years ago (kinda like Emperor but not really :/) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

erjin999 Posted May 14, 2006 Share Posted May 14, 2006 There was some semi serious talk about doing that a little while ago, but nothing came of it. It really needs you to put your whole life savings into it, gunner.... 8) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunner154 Posted May 14, 2006 Share Posted May 14, 2006 Well, I haven't lived much of my life yet (I really hope I haven't), so I won't have much for life savings.Maybe everybody else who's already working could try! :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erjin999 Posted May 15, 2006 Share Posted May 15, 2006 I personally think we have seen the last official one for quite some time. It would need someone to buy the license, so until one of us gets rich...it will not happen. I could be wrong, for example, I dont know if those licenses expire, in which case when they do, we could see more games come out. :- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunner154 Posted May 20, 2006 Share Posted May 20, 2006 Yeah, so in the meantime EA sits on its fat ass claiming the rights to making a Dune game when they don't seem to really give a damn about Dune games in general. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikoru Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 If Electronic Arts hold the license to Dune then it's unlikely they will make a new Dune game. Also whilst a game following the original storyline would seem good in many peoples eyes it limits a game to what it can be so it would effectively kill the game. You should never copy off a book or film to make a game, they should always be unique. If a Dune game had to be made going off the official storyline then it would have to be based like Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, in the past before any movies happened. A perfect example would be when the Fremen came to Dune or around that era, another is the first spice harvesting missions.Electronic Arts only makes games to make money, they don't care about the enjoyment factor and no heart or dedication goes into their games. Hopefully someone will buy the rights for the Dune games back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
