- Who needs the new DUNE movie when you can play the old DUNE game? I'll trade you my .iso file for tickets to see the movie in IMAX!

2:23 actually, they can’t use shields in the desert because it drives the sandworms into a killing frenzy. Regardless, that laser pistol is not a very accurate representation of the fucking perfect death beams that they’re supposed to be
It also causes a nuclear explosion if you shoot a shield with a Lasgun.
@@justinbrown8214 Yeah no shit, he even said that in the video
Looks like I'm the one who didn't read the books before making a video about playing a game who's devs didn't read the books 👀
@@oboeshoesgames I thought you said months ago that you were reading Dune?
@@oboeshoesgames The Fremen also do use maula pistols though as part of their usual arsenal. So Paul having a pistol and a crysknife is accurate.
"Continue without saving? yes/no is the scariest choice i have seen a video game offer in a long time lmao
fear is the mind killer
Yes subtext is a thing that exists@user-nl2bi2kx9k
someone at my work actually presented this for a popup and i remembered this video and was like nah this language is confusing and got some praise from my boss lol
Hearing Paul Atreides say “What’s up” is so cursed.
This entire game is _cursed._
Paul: And I say heyyeyaaeyaaaeyaeyaa
That’s something Timothee Chalamet would say.
What's good, Gurney?
Zagreus of Hades be like "Hey dude, what's shakin'? Tubular!" (and not, like, sarcastically)
You know those dreams where you’re being chased, and you suddenly can’t run fast? That’s what Paul’s movements look like
Honestly this whole game looks like a fever dream
how thematic
😆 looks like he has to take a dump
I have a dream like that consistently, only its like crash bandicoot and I keep getting crushed by a Boulder and have to restart
No, I don't know.
I must not fear Dune for the PS2. Dune for the PS2 is the mind-killer. Dune for the PS2 is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face Dune for the PS2. I will permit Dune for the PS2 to pass over me and through me. And when Dune for the PS2 has gone past, I will turn the inner eye to see Dune for the PS2's path. Where Dune for the PS2 has gone there will be nothing. Only Oboe Shoes will remain.
Your mother has taught you well of our ways young human
Bro awesome 👽🛸🪐
the litany against Dune PS2
Beautiful.
This made me spit out water I didn't even have
God, my precious water
"I'm just the Muad dib minding my Muad busniess" should of been in the original novel. Incredible
Nobody cares about sleepers awakening, but this. THIS
You had me until "should of". That's the moment I realized you have double-digit IQ.
@@ao1778 you can tell just looking at his picture tbh
If only Frank Herbert could've been alive to hear that...
8:09
Wow I can't believe they made a game so quickly after the movie came out
Yeah, it really shows too
They did it so quickly, they warped reality and accidentally released it early
That's why the game is so bad
I know this is a joke. but the tie in games often released before the movie even came out. IE tje star wars episode 3 game.
@@robertharris6092 i mean......technically it DID come out before the movie LMAO
In dune the correct terminology for stabbing someone is duning someone
And thats why the book is called dune
very insightful for illiterate people like me
You just got dune'd, bro.
Hey, hey, easy with that, that's my lucky duning hat!
🏜️🔪
"S'up bro, you just got Duned on,"

About the pistol: the Fremen use a Maula Pistol, which shoots dart/bullet projectiles and most Fremen would have one. They are great especially for non-shield combat in the desert. Paul actually takes one when he and Jessica meet the Fremen and Stilgar tells him he will get one when he has earned it.
is that the gun that paul was holding at the end of the 2021 movie?
@@JewTube001 Yes
Ok, but imagine a Shadow of Mordor esque Dune game where you play as a Fremen warrior and get to experience the book from their perspective.
That would be beyond awesome!
I would actually buy that in a heartbeat.
😎
Plus hookshot climbing.
Broooooooooo
This game feels like one of these PS1 styled games that always end up in Alpha Beta Gamer
Something like SW Episode 1, or Harry Potter you mean. I got the same vibe.
OK, now you're just being mean. Those tiny indie games are usually much better than this!
@@TheHalflingLad Apologies, the graphics kind of looked like those PSX styled games I would see there, but the gameplay is just like playing a game while blindfolded
@@TheHalflingLadmajor. funny joke.
"... it just kinda ends there"
Oh! So it IS faithful to the new movie!
not too far off from how the book ends either. I mean, there IS a conclusion and it makes sense but boy howdy does the plot just fly by after Paul wakes up from his Water of Life hangover
@@aceshighdueceslow the story has a few thousand years to cover so you gotta move fast
people will call anything a cliff hanger as long as it leaves a room for a sequel these days, I swear
Ah yes I remember the amazing proses of Herbert like, “Dumb baby”.
And of course the unforgettable "What's up?"
@@Tsukuyomi28 yes truly a piece to give me shivers

Ironically, that sounds _exactly_ like something he would write, especially in the later novels. One of the things that turned me off from the series was just how much of our contemporary stuff was lifted whole into this supposedly exotic world of many millennia into the future. The first book is rather dignified and the three sequels largely keep to this spirit as well, but then some weird shit starts happening and suddenly you get the Mother Superior of the Bene Gesserit go to a bigass Bene Gesserit canteen to dine alongside fellow Bene Gesserit and spend an entire paragraph talking about whatever's happening in the kitchen. Really bizzare, sort of a Frankenstein of literature.
@@yarpen26 he started pandering to one of his biggest fans, his wife. That's my theory and I'll stick to it.
This is exactly how I imagined the book
My favorite part of Dune, the novel, is how Paul systematically and covertly kills all of his enemies by himself and with help from no one.
"Frank Herbert actually wanted Dune to be a Metal Gear Solid type Stealth game, but video games weren't made back then so he had to settle for making it a novel."

"This kill animation is so brutal its banned in Germany" - well I am watching this from Germany and seeing wall blocking off the kill animation got me spooked a bit...
That's because you're in Germany, you couldn't see it like I did. It was so awful I can understand why it was banned
I'm in America and I could see it fine, its very awful so I can understand why.
Wait. There's a wall? I just saw what's pretty much an uncensored scene from Manhunt 2. Huh. Walls... Crazy.
Fellow reman here. I never heard of this game, it might be such a brutal game that it is banned here all together.
@@davidesumsput the time stamp please
I like this graphical era when every character was represented as vaguely asian-caucasian because it wasn't possible to render them efficiently any other way
this was of course especially so with half-assedly produced games like this.
Pauls walking animation while getting shot has me dead
Same
4:55 😂
this is one of the games ever made
sure is
Yep
It’s one of the most games ever made!
Cant argue with you
😆😆
You know what bothers me in a ton of sci-fi? 3:30
If you can't move a muscle why can you talk?!? Your jaw requires muscles in order to move! Your eyes are also controlled by muscles!
Could they not get the exposition done in any other way? I see this kinda thing everywhere.
Judging from the font on the cover art and the time this came out, I believe this was meant to be a tie-in with the Sci-Fi channel mini-series. I would highly recommend that series for fans of the book looking for an alternative to the Lynch version which stays closer to the text, though with the caveat that it's low budget and very "stagy" in its production. Unlike this game, it executes well with the resources available.
But the TV show was cursed with those godawful stupid hats!
But it looks like they couldn't secure the rights for that dude who played Paul there (he had short hair). Kinda like in that Godfather game where everybody's movie appearance was lifted except for Pachino's.
As someone who is about to rewatch the first movie which I barely got but I didn't put my full attention so that's on me, and I'm planning to go the see the second movie after that, what do you recommend I should check before that?
The TV show sucks. Sure, it was more loyal to the books, but that doesnt mean anything when your costume department is cringe, your acting is mediocre, and your writing is Network TV level
@@DeadManSinging1Yup, this all the way. It's so embarrassingly low rent.
Well, the laser gun on Arrakis makes sense, no one uses shields on Arrakis because the vibrations call the sandworms
I recently played this last week and on original ps2 hardware. I can confirm that the audio issues you were having seem to be the result of emulation however on original hardware it drops to 15fps when there is more than 2 enemies on the screen so pick your poison
What did you do after you were done playing it?
So...was that robot boss an illegal Ixian machine bought illicitly by the Harkonnen and smuggled to Arrakis, or did this game just throw the book's lore completely out the window because "science fiction = robots" and they needed an inconsequential boss fight for that level so YOLO?
To be fair, having the player fight illegal Ixian and Tleilaxu creations could be cool, even if it wouldn't be 100% lore friendly. The Westwood Dune games for instance let you recruit exotic units from those factions, if your faction gained a strong enough favor with them. But of course the problem here is we are talking about something possibly being cool in the PS2 Dune game.
I'm a huge Dune fan. Have the books, audiobooks, David Lynch movie, Sci-fi Miniseries, the Sega CD game, Sega Genesis game, the Dune 2000 P.C. Big Box game and the PS1 port of it. I've never heard of this one. I can see why it's never mentioned and talked about. Holy balls this is worse than the Baron's bowel movement and uglier than Gurney's scar on his face (as described in the books).
Not the Lynch movie! I feel with you.
This game is the reason for the Butlerian Jihad
Squid game and Amoung us In one video! Oboeshoes is really getting topical now.
Alia after punching you in the sack: You feeling prepared Mr. Krabs?
Why does this has to remind me of KOTOR in an uncanny valley type way
He doesn't want to talk about it!
It totally does look like a Kirkland brand KOTOR.
My man no one wears shields in the desert on Arrakis because the shields attract worms, which is why lasguns can be used on Arrakis.
The "Continue without saving" bit had me laughing the most 🤣
I really like this video. Reminded me of a lot the old lets plays here on youtube where people would just speak normally and didn't try to make silly jokes every 5 seconds to hold your attention. This has the same chill quality those old videos had.
"Looks like a small headed anime guy"
....have you seen an anime? 😂
The Fremen do use guns in the book. I think they're called slug throwers? I don't quite remember. But Paul takes Jamus' during their little confrontation which leads to the ritual duel.
There are weapons called maula pistols which I believe were projectile based. I think slug throwers were supposed to be today's kind of firearm tech because I believe they were described as antique and primitive technology.
Huh that’s weird, slug throwers are also the name for regular guns in the 40K universe
The Dune at home your mom tells you they have when you say you want to watch Dune
You didnt mention that this is material from the 2001 Scifi Dune miniseries When i watched that as I was little i was blown away by the special effects But yeah thats where this comes from
9:02 This moment is a brilliant reference the song "Beast Infection" on Grimes' Dune-themed concept album Geidi Primes and also her song "Belly of the Beat". Truly an incredible review.
I always wanted to play this as a kid lmao
Patrician taste since childhood
This game looks alright but when is the Lego version coming out? Softies are just leaving money on the table.
There's a fake Lego version out already but it's freaking me out because it's counterfeit, freaking me out you wear a mask.
The Fremen did use "Maula Pistols", so it was some sort of gun weapon. In the desert, NO ONE uses a shield because it would call all worms around straight to eat your ass, so projectile weapons are game on!
Don't know why, but Rabban calling them Fremens just killed me.
It is possible to rebind your arrow keys to AWSD through software outside of a game. I do it every time I want to play Stronghold.
The kill animation at 5:12 had me in tears.
0/10 not enough of Frank Herbert's son's obsession with terminators and reality-bending Duncan Idaho
Denis Villenueve directed a pretty solid prequel film for this - good thing he’s kept a PS2 around for all these years
Seriously, you're one of the best gaming UA-camrs ever. I'm so happy I know about your channel.
The laser gun is actually accurate since in arrakis the rhytmic vibrations of the shields attract worms which is why they are not commonly used. Mechanical guns are also banned since the robot war that hapaned 10000 years before the time the book is set.
I want to say 2 things:
- I laughed.
- I wanted to try this game... I don't want to try it anymore.
This is the beauty of gaming, my god; the graphics, the voice acting, the walking.. great video, thank you for sharing this game!
I played this on the PS2 in the PS2 era... and couldn't get beyond the first stretch of desert with the sand worm.
Ten years later I tried again and got further... and got bored trying to blow up the first harvester.
So you've got a lot further than I ever did. Kudos!
4:50 had me in tears
8:53 lmfaooooo the reaction to this conversation killed me 💀💀
"I knew it was you by your footsteps Gurney"
"Yeah but you also left your pistol across the maze room from yourself."
Playing games like this makes you realize how ahead of its time Halo 1 was. It was atleast 10 years if not more ahead.
Half Life, which lauched 3 years earlier: Am I a Joke to you?
I'm pretty sure that the gun is supposed to be a maula pistol.
An ad played for me when you went “pow” to the famous hunter killer from dune 😂
I remember being hyped for the game when I finished Emperor: Battle for Dune. Thankfully I got to try the demo first XD
Oh, and Allia looks hideous here :D
This was my introduction to dune. I can’t believe I loved this game when I was a kid, just playing whatever was on my dads laptop at the time. This shit was so fun and great for some reason.
Well back then this was kind of the standard, they didn’t have the well made games we have today
@@cameronmillspaugh1601 What? Hell no. There were plenty of good games back then and this was not one of them.
Found your channel and started watching some of your videos and really appreciate the work u put in and makes me happy that ur starting to get more recognition
When I was a little kid I had this game on a cd, I couldn't make it past the first level (i was like 6 or 7), and recently I tried to find this game, but all i was able to find was the RTS games from the same era. Your video helped me understand that I indeed saw that game and that I am not insane, and secondly, closed the gestalt by you completing the game, thank you very much!
I loved the RTS Dune games tbh. One of my favourites when I was a kid.
I consider myself a bit of an expert on old obscure ps2 games and even this eluded my knowledge
Ever play The Godfather game? Seems pretty obscure. I've only known a few gamers that have played it or even heard of it.
@@jaspermcminnis5538 I remember seeing that on store shelves once. Is it any good?
@@noahfessenden6478 It's been awhile. I remember liking it. It's somewhat similar to GTA, if it took place in the 1940s. Loosely based on the movie. You can wear different outfits, create your character, bribe corrupt cops, fight mob families. Has some RPG elements, if remember correctly.
@@noahfessenden6478 By the way, it's got a sequel based on the 2nd movie, but I don't remember if it was good or not.
@@jaspermcminnis5538 the godfather game was absolutely brilliant. Had all the characters and set pieces from the first movie. Great clothes and racketeering system. Absolute gem on the ps2, probably as good as gta, it just didn't have as much in it
I actually squint my eyes at 5:37 and freaked out when it turned to Isaac lmao. Wish i can triple subscribe now...
I loved this video. Thanks for making my day better.
Videos like these NEED the ace combat video energy
FYI I have been watching Every one of your videos, and Dude you are funny. Keep it up
damn, that ending was sick.
I like that people who complain about guns in dune always bring of the Shield/Laser argument, THE THING IS you forget that people dont wear shields on the sands of dune because it makes the worms erratic
You could use a program like Xpadder to map the KBM inputs to a controller, such as arrow keys to the thumbstick. It's pretty handy for older games with bad KBM layouts.
Idk who you are. But thank God I found your channel, because you made my day.
You’re really hopping on all the trends here aren’t you 👀
I was actually dumb enough to buy this on PC. It was virtually unplayable.
UA-cam been wanting me to watch this for a long time, every time a video ends it's the one up next if not it's suggested first like damn fine, but I can't lie I'm entertained.
"boxes of really loud sound effects" cracked me up
I guess that’s the way the worm turns, huh?
Oh god THIS was my first ever exposure to the Dune IP! The title always sounded vaguely familiar and now I finally know why. I must have seen this in a magazine ad.
This game is what running feels like in nightmares
The king is back
So bad that it hurts, sorry you played this man
the shooting noise sounds like a trunk being slammed lmao
Literally my favorite game and no one can convince me otherwise
I thought your dude was a jedi at first lol
bro you're in the algorithm good job!
It actually makes sense to start an action game based on Dune later in the story as it’s mostly just drama and political intrigue for the first chunk of the book.
I cracked up at "The famous guns of Dune".
Oh whao, another oboi video
How have I not found your channel before lol
The famous first chapter! As it was written. I'm dead 😂
8:37 sussy

this game's looks of a chrysknife was so memorable to me when I played this game as a kid that I still prefer it over all other versions
well on dune, people used guns again because shields attract the worms. Fremen especially would always use their guns, their krys dagger being of more ceremonial value. Only once it's unsheathed it has to draw blood otherwise it will dissolve. Only the fedaykin used their daggers extensively.
That's some Morrowind tier running animation there.
If you think this has janky controls and animations, you should try Queen the Eye
New subscriber here. You have high quality. Thank you.
Were they expecting a sequel to finish with killing Raban?
*"I never wanted the biscuit; please don't kill me."*
They use the laser guns on arrakis because if someone has their shield activated while they are standing on the sand it drives the worms into a frenzy.
yeah i thought the same thing. pretty sure Arrakeen is mostly unshielded or has like shield schedule or something for this same reason
I always wondered about Dune I because Dune II was a classic. It was a top view strategy game where you build and attack. One of the first of its kind.
Oh yeah. I remember Dune. Still got the CD lying around somewhere. It was... it... exists.
