Anyone remember the Dune PC games? Just looked it up and the last Dune game was made in 2001. I think there is enough of a fan base for the setting, and possibly a new generation to interest, for a new game. I'd love to see what they could do with today's technology.

A Fallout style RPG set on Arrakis would be awesome. Or maybe Dune Emperor 2. Anyone got any other ideas?

It would be great to see another Dune game. I wonder if rights/licensing have been a reason for the drought.

It would be awesome if we did no doubt about it even a bad one, i would think it would be more likely after a (shudder) remake of dune though

There are quite a few dune mods out there though for things like civilization and oblivion but not very advanced i'm sure.

i hope there is another dune game someday, unless it ends up getting "dungeon-keeper'ed" in the process

The Herbert family seems to have an insanely inflated idea of what the license is worth, so I doubt it.

I tried to get Herbert Props to talk to GOG and EA. Dunno what will happen. :P

If we do, I hope they improve the sonic tanks!

I looked forward to them for several levels. I finally built one and was eager to see what it could do! It made the sand wiggle a little bit, and then some crappy Ordos 3-wheeler shot me to crap. Sonic tanks, bah.

there is one from 2007 i think. it was pretty bad.


as dune is licensed game i presume its a bit hard to get it approved to be published here. I really want to play Dune 1 (as dune 2 i played quiet a lot at school)
and discworld games too,

i think it would definitely be possible if the rights holders saw that there was a lot of demand. i think it would help to post on the page that tfishell linked-to above.

Even though no game will ever come close to Cryo's Dune, i would love an Emperor 2, still have that one installed on all my computers just for some multiplayer fun :p
I don't think a fallout-style game would be that good though...we don't know much from other planets, even in the books, and Arrakis is basically a gigantic desert x)

I've kind of lost hope after that big fail though:

I tried to keep up with the books, honestly, but the super long timeline sort of threw me, 30,000+ years is a lot to digest. That was shot down hard~!
*gog contacts EA
*EA says "Herbert Properties would have to approach us first."

Guess its a "who approachs whom first gets the smaller cut" situation I bet.

I wouldn't count on it. Unless there is a movie or something big going on with the franchise.

Since you mentioned it.

So true. :´(
