>building on a surface of dune with wood and shit
Fricking morons at funcom i swear. They had an amazing opportunity to do something interesting and they just copy pasted conan exiles wholesale.
I still wait for one fricking survival slop that will have balls to not start you naked in rags. Both funcom dunc and nightingale wasted a perfect opportunity so far.
Yeah you can really tell it's the same devs as conan exiles. Why would anyone want to play conan exiles with guns but without the possibility of capturing big titty sex slaves? Sure as hell not me
They have the built-in constant excuse that this is an alternate timeline so for all we know Dune is further along in its terraforming. Who knows? It's not looking great.
>Arrakis were mostly without antigravity systems and shields or were limited in use to the areas secured by the Shield Wall.
Does that screenshot look like its in Arakeen to you?
The only part of this that even seems dune to me is the ornithopter. This generic scifi aesthetic based off of villanueves production design is so boring
Each one of those rocks has like a trillion polygons, and because its UE5, they are just praying nanite jest werks and did no optimization. Expect to get 24fps on a 4090 just staring at the ground.
Lmao, when will this build-a-slop meme die? When I was a kid and dreamed about games where you could build a home and craft stuff it wasn't just a case of getting huge amount of resources and clicking a fricking menu item. The crafting needs to be actually gameplay, and it's pathetic that one of the only games I've ever seen do this right is Vintage Story but it's voxel shit. Scam of Elyria's pitch for a crafting system is what it needs to be like.
Ah yes. My favorite parts of Dune are when they rode dirt bikes on the surface and constructed wood huts in the open dunes from wood harvested from Arrakis' lush forests.
How did things get to this point? Did millennials really play games like Halo back in the day and go "You know what would make this game better? If they put more empty space in, removed all the objectives, and had us shoot rocks instead of enemies"
>Land vehicle kicking up sand everywhere
Did they not even pretend to read the books? Let me guess, you can find that vehicle on the Unreal asset store, probably either for cheap or free.
The ideal Dune videogame would be surviving walking across the Sahara IRL while reading every religious text in random order and discussing it with random philosophers and soldiers, and doing shrooms every so often, and being hunted by the CIA and fellow crackheads. This looks like shit.
The game would be more interesting if they just removed the building aspect all together. Its going to completely ruin the immersion and aesthetic of Arrakis when I go out into the open desert and see some player's shitty floating tower monstrosities every 10ft, complete with some sandworm stuck trying to path through it.
6 screenshots and not a single sandworm. I don't want a fricking conan clone + cosplay from the Villeneuve movies. Show me solid multiplayer gameplay of some fremen bros working together to catch and ride a sandworm and then I'll be interested.
>Two factions
Every decision they made was straight moronic. There should be a ton of factions from Harkonnens to fremen to smugglers to Corrino to Bene Gesserite to Space Guild. And factions should all have various subfactions with systems that encourage both working together and treachery.
So far it doesn't even look like Dune. Either book artwork, or Villavue slop. They copied the Ornithopter from Villavue, but made it really tiny. Nothing else seems to have the Dune aesthetic. All the player outfits look like generic Fortnite skins. Why is the guy in the OP showing his bare arms and armpits? He'd be dehydrated in an hour like that. Why haven't we seen a single hijab or burkha in any screenshot?
>Thinking some licensed game is going to be good
Going to use a random percentage and say 90% of these are always shit, money spent on the license could have been used to make a better game but they know they'll get sales because it's "THING: The Game" so there's no need to try
>Funcom >Owned by Tencent >forced PVP for rare mats like other games >it will have Denuvo >it will have forced epig online connection for crossplay >TPS
>a big point of Dune is that there's almost no resources to survive off of in the desert >game has you farming resources to build structures in the desert
This would be better as an extraction shooter.
Dune team-based extraction shooter could have been awesome. >Harkonnen, Sardukar, Fremen, Atroidies remnants, and smuggler factions, all with their own equipment and skill trees >You pick a faction to join and your character is locked to it. Different missions will involve different factions, and some will have cross-team factions >Missions would include iconic story events such as the Sardukar taking Arakeen, the retaking of Arakeen, raids on spice harvesters, etc...
omg it's gordon freeman!
>gordon freeman
More like Gordon Fremen
Gordon Freeman. Gordon Freeman.

That's not wood dumbass, open your eyes
Woah look at that RESOURCE just protruding right in my heckin' face I'm gonna MIIIINE.
Yeah you can really tell it's the same devs as conan exiles. Why would anyone want to play conan exiles with guns but without the possibility of capturing big titty sex slaves? Sure as hell not me
>All the foliage
These asshomosexuals think they can slap down generic desert landscape and call it arakkis. What a joke
They have the built-in constant excuse that this is an alternate timeline so for all we know Dune is further along in its terraforming. Who knows? It's not looking great.
>land vehicles in dune
lol. this game is for the moronic fortnite audience isn't it
https://dune.fandom.com/wiki/Groundcar
Well well well, looks like you are the actual zoom slopper fortnite gay. KYS
>Arrakis were mostly without antigravity systems and shields or were limited in use to the areas secured by the Shield Wall.
Does that screenshot look like its in Arakeen to you?
>mostly
Keyword, moron. That spot they are driving in the screenshot wouldn't be reachable by a worm
Frick off
Trump lost
Kay, you win, that's kinda weird. I'm still gonna play it though.
looks like your generic survivalslop but whoa it's in the dune IP huge!!!
The only part of this that even seems dune to me is the ornithopter. This generic scifi aesthetic based off of villanueves production design is so boring
Kinda dissapointed the view distance isn't farther considering it's not rendering jack shit besides sand and rocks
Each one of those rocks has like a trillion polygons, and because its UE5, they are just praying nanite jest werks and did no optimization. Expect to get 24fps on a 4090 just staring at the ground.
holy heck look at those gwafix! wow!
I saw those before my man
Actually it is "Interface"
>latest popular thing's skin applied to a precooked formula
Let me guess, they will focus their marketing campaign on twitch?
I thought this was supposed to be an MMO, not Conan Exiles set in a single biome.
The term MMO has lost its meaning years ago.
5 players in an instance dungeon with a hub area is a mmo!
Just the other day I had some moron tell me that lobby based games are MMOs.
>inb4 crafting and trading sucks
frick base-builders, go back 2 minecraft
Looks like fortnite
Would probably be more entertaining as a single player open world game.
looks like shit
I don't know if I've ever seen a screenshot that's made me lose all interest in a game faster than this.
>standard survival crafting base building template
Lmao, when will this build-a-slop meme die? When I was a kid and dreamed about games where you could build a home and craft stuff it wasn't just a case of getting huge amount of resources and clicking a fricking menu item. The crafting needs to be actually gameplay, and it's pathetic that one of the only games I've ever seen do this right is Vintage Story but it's voxel shit.

>windows in Arrakis
well consider me triggered
Conan Exile clone?
Ah yes. My favorite parts of Dune are when they rode dirt bikes on the surface and constructed wood huts in the open dunes from wood harvested from Arrakis' lush forests.
If you were one of the gays who played pal world then you have no leg to stand on when criticising this
Which sci-fi classic did Palworld desecrate?
pokemon obviously
Palworld isn't set in pokemon universe though, it just has similar monsters.
looks like shit. at least conan exiles has breasts
Looks like garbage my dude. Stop buying templates and develop your own game
How did things get to this point? Did millennials really play games like Halo back in the day and go "You know what would make this game better? If they put more empty space in, removed all the objectives, and had us shoot rocks instead of enemies"

neeeeeeeeext
>Land vehicle kicking up sand everywhere
Did they not even pretend to read the books? Let me guess, you can find that vehicle on the Unreal asset store, probably either for cheap or free.
The downgrading is in full effect, well well
>wood
>building on sand
>windowed buildings
>character's bare are exposed
Are they fricking with us?
>Palworld clone
lol
already a clone game, fake gamer
the cursed runes strike again
>New Dune Awakening
Looks like it should go back to sleep
You can really tell they dune fricked up.
>Series: Awakening
Has a game with this title ever been good? A single time?
It is a very lazy title. It could have even been reworked to be Awakening of Dune to stay consistent with the naming format of the novels, at least.
Devil May Cry 3: Dante's Awakening
Brown: The Game
Must... not... make... food analogy...
Do it, homosexual.
Will it have dick and titty sliders?

wasted potential for an interesting dune game

>fortnite esthetic
What a waste. I can't wait for the chinese new year holiday event.
>My lord, the John Deere tractors left behind by Baron Harkonnen have fallen into disrepair.
Holy fricking shit they can't be serious.
Dunc
Reminder that every time
>big IP gets new shovelware survival game that we poured $300 million into
It always fails.
>big IP survival game
Such as? The only one I think of is Conan, which isn't exactly a big IP these days, and that game was quite successful.
palworld
OPEN WORLD
SURVIVAL
CRAFTING
EARLY ACCESS
THE FOUR HORSEMEN
I'll take it over Shitcher

Too many redflags to even consider it.

>Open World Survival MMO
I assume it's just Conan Exiles but dune.
Funcom is 100% subsidized by taxpayers in norway. It's an adult day care company. The Anarchy Online days are gonzo.
wtf im norwegian wtf u talking about
yeah, you're frickin moronic
Conan was hybrid 1st/3rd person, right? Still no 1st person confirmation here? I just can't get into 3rd person games.
>Dune flavored Fortnite
Disgusting.
The characters even have the same cartoony proportions and skin textures as Fortnite.
I thought this was supposed to be an MMO, not a Rust/ARK/Conan Exiles clone?
