It will be difficult, but this has to succeed. I want this game so much. The Dune universe is beyond fantastic, and the new movies are pure art.

Funcom is the same group that did Conan exiles, which is still a very generously well designed survival offering in solo and multiplayer online. I’m excited.

Seems like Star Wars Galaxies with action combat, sold

1:10 If this was the 1700's Luke would be considered a badass hero for having severed witch hands.

Other details they released Nukes originally were a mechanic but ruined fhe experience for everyone except the player who was good at shooting So they are working closely with the herbert estate to make a grounded lore and got permission to write an explanation in their universe why nukes don't constantly go off. They also have sand walking as a mechanic but in tests the player looks awkwardly rigged so they wont have it in till they fix that.

Saddly game seems to be another survival with Dune skin over it, I would have loved that they made a more close experience

they did Conan exiles which I think is a very fun game, so I'm excited

I hope they take their time with it, dune is a genuinely amazing book so I hope they get it right.

This could be great, but not holding my breath. If they say MMO, it brings certain things usually. One of my favorite book series. I've always wanted a good game. I'm hopeful!

I love survival games hopefully they do this right

Just aslong as it’s immersive and faithful to the books I’ll be happy

Sounds pretty interesting, i gotta check out some gameplay

You can't expect more than what makes sense for the world of Dune to be implemented. There's only so much they can expand on and also create that would be unique outside of the movie adaptations and books just to please Millennials/Gen-Z crowds who think they know what the "perfect formula" is

I just hope they take there time on it and it comes from a place of inspiration and not monetary dreams. I love the mmo genre and I’m really hoped so far

As someone who like survival games I am pretty neutral on this game, I think the later political aspect of the game could be unique and innovative. The developer is right that survival games sort of burn out once you reach the thrive stage and you really don't have to do much surviving (and not much to do in the end game). If there is some sort of end game where there are linear levels / dungeons / raids that you can go in to and then return to the survival experience with loot and resources from those levels that could be interesting. Either way I like how ambitious this game sounds, but whether it is good or not will all be in the execution!

if you've played The Secret World and Conan Exiles (2 of their games) you will already have the idea of what they are planning to do and I am here for it!

Thanks, Luke, for the video. I'm a huge fan of the Dune universe but at least at this point in time it just isn't grabbing me. Like you said, some visuals and examples of gameplay would help. But then on the other hand, I'm not ready to jump into another MMO. I'm sure many are but I'm sure there are others like me who are 'been there, done that' when it comes to the MMO scene. I really appreciate your content. You're one of the first channels I check out for new games. Please keep up the awesome work!

Mutant year zero was a great little game

Will it survive managed democracy?

This already looks cooler than Starfield

Funcom originally made the MMORPG CONAN.. which had limited success because World of WARCRAFT was already gaining momentum and Funcom was a newbie in this space.. CONAN exiles is still one of the most successful survival co-op games with years of experience.. also has one of the best combat systems for PvP / Survival. They have the experience now.. worth anticipating how they handle DUNE

Sounds like no mans sky lol

Many of the games listed on their website are not developed by them but published including the other Dune 4X game, they did however work on my MMOs like Anarchy Online for example. I don't care for live-service much and definitely not MMOs but I might give it a try if it turns out to be good and not just a waste of time (aka disrespecting the time of players, too grindy, boring gameplay,...)

I am very exited new big survival game.and very good that it will be available also for consoles on lauch.most of survival games are PC exclusives.I would just hope it would have been pve and not pvp.

This game had better be a banger because they have a lot to live up to

Gravity Falls Hand Witch comes to mind.

Sounds super cool. I hope it is!

I think this speaks to the great marketing of Hogwarts legacy, funco taking pages out of HL playbook via these little directs, it worked well for WB on HL sales while also letting us players get to know the game inside out b4 purchase. CIG still does this now with star citizen (MMO), keeps ppl engaged. Tbh i enjoy these little videos and this dune game looks great, visually stunning w troves of unreals new tech, i hope it slaps!!

As long as its not online only, has coop where you can explore with friends on a save (no random griefters) and there are npcs and all content can be enjoyed solo, im down.

I like survival games and love dune. I really want this to not suck but I'm very skeptical

Its the same people that made conan exiles and a few other survival games

Hope sweet baby inc hasnt given this game the Death kiss

Was this filmed in a saudi lavish tent?

Regarding wanting to live in the Dune universe... who would want to live there, realistically? It's a miserable place full of feudal politics, violence and control. Even if you're part of a big house you're still forced to serve your house, there is no freedom, you're constantly on the watch for attempts on your life. And let's not talk about the 3500 years of Leto II's reign and the scattering that followed. If you're lucky you're just some nobody slaving your days away on Caladan so you at least don't get cooked in the sun during the day... or imagine landing up on Giedi Prime...

I have a feeling this game is gonna be absolutely brutal on even the most beefed up PC 😂

i still don’t see the mmo aspect of it. to me it doesn’t look like one. live service game maybe but not an mmo. i guess future will tell

I hope this game has politics and choice similar to star wars KOTOR and maybe gameplay like hell divers 2 i want to be hyped but i wont allow myself to.

I love Dune. (Well, the first 4 books) But I pretty much just assume all games are gonna suck until they prove otherwise after launch.

I am kind of intrigued by this but my BS meter is flaring up. cause this is the type of stuff they pulled while promoting Gotham knights (grind mess). the question were great but the answers weren't clear. in the best case scenario we get Forbidden west x Fortnite. also i hate the floaty physics these live service games bring (maybe it's just one travel mech).it

I think these 'reveals' where they have presenters trying to talk and act cool, goes to show how out of touch they are with gamers these days.

You literally pause it to complain that you don't know what the game actually is several times, just to play the video and each time, have them explain it further. Maybe just hold most comments until the end?

Helldivers 3?

Watching this direct left me more confused than when I started. Seems sus if I'm being honest.

Great idea, unfortunately it's Funcom... They're as bad as the Harkonens. They're gonna rip us customers everyway they can. I'm gonna wait till I checkout the monetization.

Wow not knowing what Funcom has done in last 20 years? i hate online and mmo type games and they made one of the best ive played.. Age of Conan was for its time the one of the most beautifully MMOs ever created..with a story till level 20.. and ive enjoyed it and loved it. They have Conan licence and last few years DUNE licence. I am not very happy that they are doing survival mmo.. but thats what they do.. and it would be solo allso so i cant wait for anything Conan or Dune.. one of the top franchises ever created. Dune games should had a lot more games.. Strategy games especially but allso a singleplayer RPG is a wet dream of mine. Conan allso.. perfect for Singleplayer RPG. Funcom made lots of Mmos and they have a very active CONAN Exiles survival game ive allso played for few months but as most online or survival games are like sort of nowhere pointing and no story so ive stopped, hated any online interactions :) like allways :P People are just shit.. except in Fallout 76 where allmost everybody is super supportive and fun or ignoring.

If you shave the left side of your head, you'll look just like the Dune chick

Nah, I think I'll just go back to AC origins if i wanna stare at sand for hours on end lmao

Something to point out. I believe that the lore of dune specifically states that guns are outlawed in the universe and are rendered useless due to the shields that stop things that are moving at high speeds. I saw a lot of rifles and some crossbows I believe 😕. No hand to hand sword fighting, no sand worm riding, the costumes don't look similar to the suites worn in the latest dune movies, but I must say I do like how they look. Therefore should authenticity to the source material suffer due to gameplay considerations???

Looks like destiny

Visions of Starfield.

Why are they talking about stories, they have zero writers in the company. Christ it would be nice if they put something of Herbert's story into the game. They have Conan and there is nothing in it. No story, just a literal sandbox. Christ.

I typically like your stuff but how do you talk about games for your literal job and not know what 4x strategy means...

That woman is a red flag

not trying to be debby downer here but Dune MMO is dead on arrival ( HOW CAN YOU??? THE GAME IS NOT OUT??!? ) but FF14 also has serious plot/space issues good luck finding one open on an crowded server, there are literal maffia in that game or bots sole focus on making digital currency cause the demand is crazy. where can you build your Dune home? if its not specific designated area but an free for all then on an server hosting between 10-100K even if an massive server at 1million space will run out eventually which is also the case if its purely designated areas... Alright lets skip past the obvious fundamental flaw with an building system that not only uses vertical building but also laterally, survival mechanics oh yeah baby lets go. So what about rust, and some servers being literally UNPLAYABLE dogwater cause nerds without an life spawn kill you and there is nothing you can do about it. Im praying to god this will not be the case, god i hate spawn camping nerds in survival mmo's praying this game is atleast 5 years away.

So it's a what enter the matrix was to matrix, a companion that's gonna end up not matter at all

I am honestly never going to understand the popularity of survival games. Tedious and trash combat always lol

This game will fail as hard as madame web.

MMO you say? I'm out.

MMOs are the social media of video games....

I do not like the MMO part so far.

"hmmm how can we destroy another classic"

free palestine

Lady with shaved side of head . No thanks

I love dune but this looks so bland

they are full of BS check Conan exile for reference

You can learn to be the Bene Gesserit? Oookkayy, sure just learn how to be the Illuminati. Right.

Sweet Baby Inc detected...

No. This game will fail.

Sorry but I can't bring myself to purchase a game when the first spokesperson u see has the sides of their heads shaven and the hair on the top flopping to one side.

A lot of words and no gameplay does not a good game make.
