I didn't even know there was a Dune game?!
I think it’s a closed beta. It’s an open world survival with pvp elements.
They would have over a hundred thousand players on a closed beta game? Goddamn that seems like a shit ton for a beta but I've also never looked at any game's player count.
They didn't get 100k players. The players they got counted multiple times. Someone got swallowed once but Bobby got swallowed 35 times because he's a dumbass. That counts a 36 people getting swallowed.
Hey now, he's also dedicated. Many of us would have quit after getting swallowed up 5 times.
Gotta earn that crysknife dude.
Dedication is not a measure of intelligence.
A dedicated dumbass is still a dumbass
Gotcha. Thanks for the clarification.
It's by the same folks that made that quasi-mmo Conan game. The bones were in it. It was just unpolished and sparse. If it's the same core team and they've learned their lessons the Dune game should be pretty dope. I'm hoping it shows other MMOs that MMO isn't a playstyle.
Oh shit did they make the Conan with the directional attacking and blocking? Age of Conan? I remember that game making my PC bleed, but I forced my way to play it at less than 30 fps.
I think this is the team behind Conan Exiles
Same dev then, Funcom
There are a number of Dune games.
I never knew of any non-RTS Dune games until now.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_games_based_on_Dune
There are also two adventure Dune games. One from the early 90s (before any of the RTS games were released) and another one from the early 2000s.
It doesn't show up on Wikipedia. But the board games by dire wolf also have videogame versions.
Interesting... thanks for the enlightenment!
