C&C , RA 1 and Tib Sun were serious... I dont see how people forget that. It got cheesy in RA 2 and ofcourse RA3.

@@Erikcleric Tib Sun stroke the perfect balance between B movie and Serious, Tib Wars tried to emulate that balance and each character felt more hammy than the Tib Sun characters yet felt more intense and demanding

Bruh RA 1 is peak comedy

yes they should of stayed Serious that might of saved Westwood + ea @@Erikcleric

He also plays Gimli from Lord of the Rings.

Little soldiers would rather drink your blood than their mother's milk, I LOVE his delivery 😂

you have my pulse-sword.

I love this gane too. ♥️

Maybe the closest to what you want: OpenRA (www.openra.net/about/)

Agreed

I honestly would pay full retail price for an HD remaster of this game as well.

The openra dune 2000 has new graphics and is free. Also comes with tiberian dawn and red alert 1 if you care

12 likes, i guess i hit some resonance with fans of Dune and Command and Conquer

still getting the odd like almost a year later, Thanks guys you are all legends.

They need to remake this game

@Akin Khoo So ... you dont know the Westwood Historie then? Westwood began as "Westwood Associates" in 1985. They for example worked with EA on "Mars Saga". With EA as Publisher. In 1992 their Money Problems became problematic Sierra Entertainment (remember those? they made good games) tried to buy Westwood but the Owners denied that offer. Because Sierra demanded complete creative control. So they opted for Virgin Interactive (yep remember those?) that offered less but gave them the creative Freedom. Und Virgin ownership they made Dune II for example and Lands of Lore. Then came 1998. Due to some big Hits Virgin Itneractive took they had to sell theire American Operations. So EA bought Westwood up in an bundle with "Burst in Irvine" from Virgin Interactive. Burst in Irvine was put under Westwoods Control and renamed "Westwood Pacific". In the Bundle also uncluded was a 5 Year deal for Brett Sperry and Louis Castle. the founders of Westwood Associates back then. Thats why these 2 big Names were to be seen " so long" under EA. So Westwood didnt overextended itself. Virgin was in Financial Problems and sold wEstwood to Ea for an Deal that back then was regarded as "EA pays too much for it".

@Akin Khoo Again from 85 to 92 they were independent. In 92 they got bought by Virgin. You know ... if i buy a hosue its mine. I dont "publish" that house. Yo uget that difference? And 98 Vrigin was broke and sold Westwood to EA. Because they owned it they could do that. And to make it easier for yo uto understand. You know Bayer? You know the Aspirin makers? Bayer has an CEO right? Werner Baumann. But Bayer belongs to the Company Lanxess. who also have an CEO. See how the CEO argument now falls apart? And to make it Worse. Bayer is a Company consisting of 420 other Companys all with an CEO ..........

Same thoughts as you. Kind of a little late and im sure you know, but they are known as petroglyph and made a pretty good game called grey goo. so they are still around :)

Now it EA turn to be shut down

Studio after studio gets eaten.

They truly did make great games and live action cinematics between missions was a real treat. EA has destroyed so many good opportunities for the sake of making money

EAAAAAA!!!!!...GIVE ME BACK MY DUNE GAMES GIVE ME BACK COMMAND AND CONQUER!!!!😑🏜

I’ll do you one better why is the mission

FMV??? Sorry I'm just asking??

@@AcidiFy574 sure, FMV = Full MOTION VIDEOS

It became a selling point of early CD Rom games - either throw in a full voice cast, or throw in Full Motion Videos cinematics. In practice it varied in efficiency, but the best of them were great, and even lesser ones sometimes featured a star actor or two. The last mainstream game I remember really going all in for the FMV experiment was Star Trek: Starfleet Academy. It seems like the genre died after that, as many games opted for cutscenes featuring the in-game engine or pre-rendered cutscenes instead.

biggee316 Amen!.. That was a horrible Baron, too soft... 84 Baron was hardcore

1beartruckr The main cast with major roles: Alec Newman (Paul), Saskia Reves (Lady Jessica), Julie Cox (Princes Irulan), Uwe Ochsenknect (Stilgar), Giancarlo Giannini (The Emperor), Zuzana Geislerova (Reverand Mother), Karel Dorby (Dr. Kynes), even Miroslav Taborsky (Emperor Advisor) and James Watson (Duncan Idaho) did a great job, goes without saying that William Hurt (Duke Leto) as all ways great, he is a caliber actor. But, I have to give thumbs down to PH Moriarty (Gurney Halleck), Robert Russell (Dr. Yueh), they were bad, and two thumbs way down to the entire Harkonnen cast, they were HORRIBLE... And in as much as the visual effects, they were sub-par, almost offensive in their cheesiness...I know it was back in the early 90's, but shit... I can do those same effects and probably better, at home with my little Photoshop, Blender and Poser10 3D modeling/manipulation programs LMAO...

"Scy FI" sigh... Haven't looked at that "channel" for years.

The only exeption would be the expanse but they canceled it and gave it to Amazon

I disagree. However I enjoyed this alot!

Same here bro, exact age lol

Uh havent you played C&C? gameplay was not ahead of its time at this point. This game used the same engine as used in C&C and Red Alert in 1995 and 1996 just with a Dune tileset and concrete foundations. Its not bad but the least ambitious of Westwoods games. Emperor: Battle for Dune, thats when they made a true Dune game with a new engine and features.

@@Erikcleric dune II WAS ahead of it's time. Command and conquer followed from lessons learned during their development of DUNE II in 1992

@@Erikcleric Yeah but Dune 2 was the OG. This was a really well made game.

the first RTS Dune came out in 1992, known as "Dune 2" en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dune_II the grandfather of RTS :) (and the predecessor of C&C)

>X3

+Sour Eggz I had watched the 1984 move beforehand and loved this game, still got it

+MrRedcarpet02 Nice. The books are the cat pyjamas - so if you haven't read them, you should consider doing so! 😋

Im here after how horrible the new dune is :( Emperor and this dune 2000 is best dune

@@DJNicShogun Westwood did some great Dune rts games. But dont forget the 1992 Dune. Having to rally Fremen to mine spice, fight Harkonnen troops and you GOT to send spice when the emperor demands it. Its very unforgiving compared to the RTS games.

@@DJNicShogun No. Come on. These Dune cutscenes are not good. I fully understand they hold a place in our childhoods but seriously? No. They are worse than the Lynch movie stuff. New one (2021 one) is just meh. The tv series are also like “good” but absolute no fun to watch.

@@StopFear The cutscenes may not be good but still surpass 2021 version by a mile.

abomination 2020 is fucking terrible

I bet anything these actors were paid shit but everyone of them seem to just be enjoying Hamming the fuck out of each scene. If you love this check out Chris Walken in Ripper

John Rhys Davies later came to act as Ghimli in LoTR. He was also in the Indiana Jones series.

He is very good. He just seems like he is caricaturing gay stereotypes though. This feels uncomfortable.

He's playing an atreides mentat

@@StopFear You’re projecting.

Dune 2 had the best iteration of the Atreides Sonic Tank. Dune 2000 had the best iteration of the Ordos Deviator. Emperor had the best iteration of the Harkonnen Devastator.

I find it interesting that the mentat Hayt in this game is confirmed to be a Ghola, considering Duncan Idaho was brought back as a Ghola many times but the first iteration he was named "Hayt". So I wonder if this is the game's incarnation of Duncan

milicoA speaking of Dune and eyebrows, Brad Dourif had eyebrow karma from Dune pay him back in “The Two Towers”, eh?

Oh yeeees!!!!!!

Well, the Ixians do produce them faster than the Emperor can outlaw them LOL!

That STILL ONLY COUNTS AS ONE!

But that is the mission!

@Miles Doyle 😲😲😲😳😳😳 bruh, the holy father's sermon is different room 😏

@Miles Doyle If Jesus was so great, why'd he have to die? If God is so great, why'd he kill his son? If you had a real point, why are you in the KZfaq comments commenting on a comment that has nothing to do with religion?

@Miles Doyle Dude I'm Christian and even I'm confused why you're here

Probably due to the fact the Ordos isn't very prominent in the Dune books?

@@58696c While they were mentioned in the Dune Encyclopedia, they didn't appear in the novels. So pretty much mostly game invention. Guys like Ix or Tleilaxu are "real" though.

Gotta love how the Ordos figure out the most desperate of odds, from beginning: mission one: "There is a 44.2% chance you are a Harkonnen Terrorist, there is a 33% probability you are an Atreides Spy. We will accept these odds.....,,, Or to Mission 8's '...there is a 3.9 percent probability that you wíll survive... That is......... the mission".

What Character is that?

stephen connell they are the commanders of each of the factions in the game

Victor Menshchikov Thank you

Kirov Reporting!

Starcraft has always been my favorite RTS but I never played the Dune games.

@@bloodaonadeline8346 I only discovered Starcraft after Red Alert, so I guess that's why I loved Westwood games first. I do play more Starcraft and Starcraft 2 these days though...the AI is better than C&C I will admit.

It's insane that he did this one year before doing LOTR :D

No comments on him helping Blair vs the Kilrathi?

@@Johnnythefirst Holy shit I never even considered that before, but yeah, you're right! :D The man's performances NEVER want for energy or conviction - Rhys-Davies is a consummate professional, that's for damn sure ^_^

@@Johnnythefirst No the game was released in 1998 meaning this was filmed probably in 97 or even 96. It’s just called Dune 2000.

It ain't nothing but a modern-day version of the cartels all scrambling to see who gets on top baby

you must be blind

true. way better than timmy and zendaya

piter is great!

Zuzana Zuščinová Agreed!

gordonjohn Why would they pay the actors with squids?

***** Quid... slang for pounds.

+gordonjohn why not dollars?

Kinda. The sort of modification the Ordos mentat is subjected to is highly illegal in the Dune universe, where cybernetic enhancements and artificial intelligence are complete no-nos.

I’m burned by Hollywood adaptations, but I always have hope. I pray it’s at least a decent movie with good effects and good pacing/editing.

she is not definitely his type. The baron is gay and he hates women in general.

+Mr Cuddlesworth I genuinely think with another love and going through the books, the Dune series could make a sci-fi T.V series to rival game of thrones. They only problem is they have made games, films and T'V shows that have all flopped which has made the whole franchise and universe something people don't want to touch. They would need a Christopher Nolan esque reboot to bring Dune back into the limelight.

+Crukih i agree, although alot of people hate the lynch version i don't, out of the one from 84 or the one from 2003, i would go 84 simply because it had WAY more atmosphere and just better looking in general, BUT in order to do it..they need a game of thrones sch team that is serious about rekindling it. And the only way to do it i think is TV on HBO.

+Fredrik Häll There is the Emperor game

+Fredrik Häll There is a market. We are sleepers. A good product, and we will be awaken.

KingAlpaca new version. True, sometimes a rerun can be bad. And a Total War Empire 2

probably cause its the same guy

probably, though still :3 imagine Gimli instructing the Atreides

by "probably" ive meant, that its a common fact John Rhys-Davies plays it

Others have said it and i will too. Because it is the actor who plays Gimli.

grasskoke i know that by now. and i dont hope that this is going to be another 250 comments long train

I really hope this game, exactly as it was, mission by mission, would get a high-graphic remake, 4k graphics, yet the EXACT same interface, gameplay etcetera. Imho that would be a MASSIVE hit in the gaming-sector!

+michael mason yes, the real Arturo from Post Traumatic Slide Syndrome slid to here

I want to see the harvesting space this is nothing but a modern-day version of the of the Colombian cartel with Carlo Escobar have the Duke of the known universe battling it out to see who get to be the top dog baby

I see a lot of Babylon 5 actors in here most of them are a minor actors on the series but that's not the point I see a lot of them in here
