How do you make Dune into a massively-multiplayer game? Speaking with members of the team behind the project at Funcom in Oslo, Norway, the studio tells us about how combat will unfold, the roles players will take, and how political power will be represented in this ambitious survival-MMO.

I dont think its a game for me but I think its cool they try to make Dune feel as hostile as it is in the book.
So its basically mass pvp? Ill pass, ill stick with ff14.
I want that scarf wearing penguin.
One of the biggest Problems games like these have are the Solo/duo players complaining about getting farmed by Zerg Guilds. Wonder how they're going to fix this
I wonder how shallow those samds need to be in order to support worm free riding 🤣🤣
I prefer singleplayer but we'll see what it becomes
Hmm i am worried. I think the age old the largest corp/clan whatever will destroy everyone.
I'm really looking forward to this game. Strength to the developers and the success of the studio.
Can't wait to see the griefing in this game, new players being chased by helis with missiles
isn't it rather worrying that everything they talk about during the presentation is not shown in game? if you've got a functional prototype for "massive PvPvE combat between guilds", wouldn't that be something you wanted to show?
So looking forward to this! Just wondering if the safe zones would mean a PvE area. Exploring the land that shifts with the sandstorms sounds to incredible!
It will be Miracle if Badcom will make good game. All those Conan games are atrocious.
FUNCOM BRING "AGE OF FUCKN CONAN 2 !!!!!! " MMO! NO SURVIVAL! NO BULLSHIT! GIVE US THE GAME AS IT WAS WITH BETTER GRAPHICS AND NICE FATALITYS!
Would have rather prefered a singleplayer/coop game like Conan. PVP survival MMO sounds like a really bad idea to me… the tenth of people interested in that kind of gameplay will enjoy I guess.
F*ckin' ground vehicles on Arrakis…. smh
I hope you can play as a Fremen or at least somehow join them
Why are they using guns??? :/
my biggest issue and its one I cant seem to find an answer for is, is this going to be a rust clone?
because rust is for kids on summer break or just too much time on their hands. I am interested in the game, but im 100% not interested if its just another rust/ark/ conan clone
I don't like so much the design of the ground vehicules. The first book of Dune cycle supposed to happen in a verry far futur (26 300 years A.D… Yep…), and finish. Then, this univers is supposed to be culturaly influenced by a feodal vision, technologicaly verry specific, spiritual, realistic AND fantastic also, a kind of antic advanced heavy technology with no computer…yes…that's not easy to illustrate it…As we can read in the cycle (the book), and in every arts that turned around it, much of the object are really special, a mix beetwin ultra-futuristic, and "spiritual" and antic/middle-age art. Paradoxaly verry simple an brut but also detailed. Something that can be difficult for us to imagine. Something that creat a real FRACTURE beetwin our actual time and the referential of the univers of Dune. Those ingame ground vehicule look like vehicule in StarCitizen, or vehicule that could be use in Mars in 100 years and we can buy in a market after looking at a futur TV pub. I know how hard it is to design and illustrate Dune. Cause, in an other way, Dune claim to keep a kind of realistic and rigorous vision…it's hard to marry these things. But, i think it could be better. Anyway…It look good in a way, and the game overall look super cool 🙂 I will, for sure run for it since Dune is my favorit SF univers since i'm a child to now 😀
i just made gorilla noises im so hyped
i can’t wait to run around as a solo in an ornithopter planting a worm thumper near someones base and then raiding them clean
I’m a bit sceptical about those “sand bikes” riding in an open desert. I think this would immediately attract sand worm🤔
Looks like too many rifles for a Dune setting. Kinda makes it look like battlefield with worms.
I want to work on the harvester
Unfortunately this is made for money, not for the love of Herbert's vision. For an example of the latter, see Villeneuve.
If they have the kind of modding support like they have with Conan Exiles, this game will have a VERY long shelf life. I know plenty of players who are itching to set up roleplaying servers to live in the world of Dune.
I wasn't sure how I felt about this game at first, but "June" Awakening looks pretty good so far
The game needs more Dynamic lighting. Way too much baked on lighting going on in the environment and characters
I haven't been this excited for a game since WoW Wrath of the Lich King.
