Jack Leaf Posted August 9, 2003 Share Posted August 9, 2003 I mainly bought this game, 'cuz it's Dune, and it was only 4 pounds after all (I bought this game from England). When I was installing the game, and reading the manual, I allmost fell off my chair, because I was so tense. But the game was disappoiment, after all. The graphics were "ok", but they really did lack something. The controls were kinda odd, the animation was nothing but "ok", and the Frenchmen couldn't even write Frank's name right. "Franck Herbert's Dune". Bah.Still, I enjoy playing this game. I don't really know, what makes me to put the CD inside the drive and play this game.

Duncan_ghola Posted August 16, 2003 Share Posted August 16, 2003 what about multiplayer options? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Leaf Posted August 16, 2003 Share Posted August 16, 2003 Multiplayer will be much harder to make than level editing program, I think... But, there's Multiplayer GTA III, so there could be also Multiplayer Dune... It's just plain different thing, who makes it! :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunenewt Posted August 16, 2003 Share Posted August 16, 2003 I have discovered the scripting language used to make the game. Its called Scol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunenewt Posted August 16, 2003 Share Posted August 16, 2003 Cryonetworks is not, as many mistakenly believe, Cryo. Rather, Cryonetworks is a spin-off from the famed French adventure gaming company that concentrates solely on online games. These games--The Fog, Treasure Hunt 2001, Venice, and soon Dune--are all adventure-based and are very popular in Europe. They are all in 3D, but a 3D card is not needed as Cryonetworks has ingeniously developed an innovative engine named Scol that, once downloaded, doubles as a 3D card on your computer and allows you to participate in any of the online entertainment. Though many of Cryonetworks' employees previously worked for Cryo, great care has been taken ensure that the public perceives these companies as two separate entities: Cryo is located in Paris, and Cryonetworks operates from Cedex, a small town outside of Paris.

Jack Leaf Posted August 16, 2003 Share Posted August 16, 2003 I've read reviews, and they said that Fog and Treasure Hunt (or what ever it's named) are very bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunenewt Posted August 16, 2003 Share Posted August 16, 2003 So Dune Generations was to be bad aswell you're suggesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Leaf Posted August 16, 2003 Share Posted August 16, 2003 Well, Fog and Treasure Hunt were made quickly, and the graphics had to be simple. So I can't judge DG here and now. This is going a bit off topic, isn't it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunenewt Posted August 16, 2003 Share Posted August 16, 2003 I suppose but does it deserve another topic? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duncan_ghola Posted August 17, 2003 Share Posted August 17, 2003 Didnt cryonetworks belong to Cryo? wheres Scol right now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunenewt Posted August 17, 2003 Share Posted August 17, 2003 SCOL - Standard Cryo Online LanguageCryo and Cryo Networks are both gone now and are now effectively owned by Dreamcatcher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanguard3000 Posted August 23, 2003 Share Posted August 23, 2003 I don't know if this thread is still on topic or what.I got this game a few days ago, and I have to say that it is very shite. The graphics are okay (although I hate the whole anime-feel to it), and the music is nice, but beyond that, it's a terrible game. It's buggy (I have to CTRL-ALT-DEL to get out, as the "exit" option does not work), and it's got the worst controls I've ever seen. If it had controls similar to Tomb Raider or Max Payne, then the game would be half-decent, but instead it's some wierd thing where I have to manually move the camera to face the same way as my character is. And what is with that right-click aiming? Man! ::)I've been searching everywhere for a patch for this game, but the developer's websites seem to deny the game's existence altogether. I think if there was some way to improve the controls a bit, then it might be worth my time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunenewt Posted August 23, 2003 Share Posted August 23, 2003 1)The controls are fine2)The Game makers have not denied its existance :O They merely stated that there is no patch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Posted August 23, 2003 Share Posted August 23, 2003 I found when playing the demo that I could get used to the controls, although they were not the greatest. Never beat the demo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunenewt Posted August 23, 2003 Share Posted August 23, 2003 If anything the controls make it easier as you can look past corners without attracting the guards attention Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanguard3000 Posted August 24, 2003 Share Posted August 24, 2003 1) No, they're not.2) I saw no mention of the game on any of the designer's sites. Not that I really care, though.And you can look around corners in that fasion with any third person game. But in FHD, you have to manuall turn in order to move in the direction the camera is facing.

Vanguard3000 Posted August 26, 2003 Share Posted August 26, 2003 I find that to be a bit worse. It plays like Mario 64 with that on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunenewt Posted August 28, 2003 Share Posted August 28, 2003 They're even easier if you have played a lot of First Person Shooter games like Unreal aswell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanguard3000 Posted August 29, 2003 Share Posted August 29, 2003 I play a lot of FPSs, and I don't find that it helps.Anyway, I just got Splinter Cell, which has a similar thing going. I'm starting to get used to it (although I still hate the aiming thing in Dune), but I don't know if I'm going to get into it or not.
