Guest Duncan Idaho Posted October 29, 2000 Share Posted October 29, 2000 It's a nice change that they are making a game that actually has to do with the book. Not that I'm not excited about Emperor or anything, but I think Cryo's new action/adventure game will be more interesting because it actaully follows the book. No game so far has yet done that. They've all been RTS games, not really portraying Paul Atreides during the classic novel. This could be a tremendous game! But how are they going to do it? A game like Monkey Island where you go from room to room solving puzzels and other sort. I'm thinking since they've slapped ACTION, along with the adventure on the genre, it will be more along the lines of Legend of Zelda, which in my personal opinon would be the best choice. Just imagine, running aroung as Paul Atreides with a shield buzzing around you as your hack stuuf away with a cryskvife and sword. Sounds like a game I'd want to play...What do you think???

Mahdi Posted November 24, 2000 Share Posted November 24, 2000 Maybe follow the books, you can never tell until you actually see it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exatreide Posted December 1, 2000 Share Posted December 1, 2000 You never know. and some people wont be happy that it falows the books. The OHA and other ordos clans. but we wont change a game just becouse a few people want it changed, they have emperor to look fored to.i like the ordos but i like the novels more. i dont care what they say enough is enough we have played rts games about dune card games and other games about dune but never a action adventure game. I wonder if they will take it to the Ps-2 or the dreamcast. And will there be othere caricters you can play or just one. will it be like Dune1 or something new?? and how about some more dune games??? a shooter maybe? or a sandworm racing game??? I think its about time we get some more dune like games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harkahn Posted December 20, 2000 Share Posted December 20, 2000 lol... Hell yeah, ExAtreides, where are all the Dune Worm Racer games at? :) I was thinking another good one would be like Deer Hunter, where you are a Harkonnen trooper hunting unarmed Fremen... you look for signs of fremen like maker hooks, old thumpers and whatnot and then set up a position from which to take them out, for fun and for their crysknives of course, the Baron is paying ten-thousand solari for each crysknife. lol... well i think it would be fun anyway... Hey, everybody think up the best, worst, funniest or in worst taste Dune based games and post them. Well, i hope everybody has a nice Christmas anyway. :)- Jason.

ordos45 Posted December 23, 2000 Share Posted December 23, 2000 it sounds like a cool game by the books, for all the dune fans who they might impress. Good move on Cryo's part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gobalopper Posted December 23, 2000 Share Posted December 23, 2000 It sounds like it will be similiar to the first Dune game the Cryo made but this time it looks to be more action based. Perhaps a little like the Thief games if you have ever played those games before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timsvs Posted January 9, 2001 Share Posted January 9, 2001 i think it could be sort of like half-life, but more adventure orientated.....? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cochonou Posted January 21, 2001 Share Posted January 21, 2001 Hum... actually I fear the worst, I don't know if an action/adventure game in the Dune setting would be really interesting... A first person shooter in the desert ?It's quite a shame they didn't use the same concept they used with the first Dune game, which was a real masterpiece (and one of the best games in computer history IMO) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ordos45 Posted February 2, 2001 Share Posted February 2, 2001 I agree with Cochonou Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boba_Matt Posted February 26, 2001 Share Posted February 26, 2001 I love them!! The ornithopters are awesome, much closer than they were to anything in the movies or. I was amazed that WSG made the Fremen look pretty much EXACTLY as I envisioned them. (Very arabesque desert wear.) The Bene Geserit, Chani, Stilgar, Paul.....everyone looked great. The Baron was walking instead of floating, which is how the book had it. (The suspensors were to help him support his weight, not to make him fly.) My only problem: the worms. They look too sluglike. They don't appear to be able to move fast or even raise their bodies up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ordos45 Posted April 6, 2001 Share Posted April 6, 2001 Well Boba Matt you can at least find comfort in the fact they only screwed up the sandworms in your point of view. One screw up is better than 5 or 6 or even more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garth Posted April 7, 2001 Share Posted April 7, 2001 The "Sardaukards" certainly are interesting......If they have the miniseries license why are they flubbing the names of some of the stuff from the books? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mahdi Posted April 8, 2001 Share Posted April 8, 2001 My guess is they are using the French spelling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest HarkonnenGeneral Posted April 11, 2001 Share Posted April 11, 2001 A Dune game??? In Action/Adventure??? What are you guys talking about??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quoudam72 Posted April 30, 2001 Share Posted April 30, 2001 When is the release date for the Cryo game? Action/adventure that is a change from all the RTS games that have been the staple for the Duniverse. I guess it is time for a different view on Dune. As long as gameplay is excellent and it would follow the novel for a change I'm willing to give it a try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gobalopper Posted April 30, 2001 Share Posted April 30, 2001 I think their first estimate was September but that could have changed by now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quoudam72 Posted April 30, 2001 Share Posted April 30, 2001 So it's Sept. or later this year. Question will we get to ride sandworms? There is no need to prove yourself to the Fremen without being able to conquer "Shai-Hulud". Is this even being talked about as being a part of the game?

Mahdi Posted April 30, 2001 Share Posted April 30, 2001 Actually, its due out in October now, as for the sandworms, I thought I read that you did ride them, but you'd better check my translation of the French dreamcaste site to make sure. It should be in the April archive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
