The showcase gave me a bad feeling. They showed very little gameplay, combat, multiplayer, monetization plans, or game systems. They talked (for over 20 minutes) about how cool Unreal 5 and the dune lore is (we already know that). The ~2 minute cinematic at the end did not impress me. This feels like a starfield situation. They are looking to cash in on the hype machine for launch and players will realize (after purchase) that the game is not good or even finished. Then customers get the old "Future development blah blah blah". I wouldn't touch this with a 100 foot pole until they actually showcase the actual game. I love the whole Dune world and such but I am going into this hoping for the best while expecting the worst. Reg flags all over this for me.
People keep forgetting this is made by a company who has a pretty bad track record with games. It's shocking that they keep getting companies to have them make games. They faild hard with Secret world so much they brought it back after it died and it died again.
Yea, beginning to think Force Gaming is just another propaganda outlet for games they are paid to promote. Look how they proudly promoted Quinfall before the rest of the internet discussed the truth about the game. It wasn't until the truth was revealed that Force Gaming came out with a negative video towards Quinfall.
@@MichaelSplatkins I played TSW when it first came out and loved SO much of that game. The combat mechanisms were SO fun...but the combat feel...you are exactly right. The combat was SO damn clunky despite the mechanics.
Ahh, that makes sense. I only watched the recent stream and what they were saying about this reminded me of SWG. Didn't know they'd explicitly referred to SWG as an inspiration. Hopefuly they get it right. SWG could have and should have been the future of MMOs, but the tech wasn't really there for it at the time and then WoW came out and that was that.
I think it will be shared areas. By the sounds of it the core PvP area will host up to 500 people and the other areas around 40 each. But those shards will be joined.
Same. It sounds like a multiplayer PVP survival game. The term MMO is grossly over used these days - Online Multiplayer is *not* always the same as "massively" multiplayer. It still does my head in that MOBA style games and survival games that are procedurally generated with limited group options (looking at you Valheim and No Man's Sky) get referred to as MMO's. I hope it really is an MMO and I hope it works for them. There's a space in the MMO genre for a game like this... it's definitely not for me, I *hate* PVP... but there is a space for it and a lot of people would love it.
MUDs were my childhood gaming addiction and I still think some of them did things right that graphical MMORPGs haven't topped yet. Oh, excuse me. I think they're preparing to read my eulogy. Remember meeeeeeeeeeee... :P
This is my second comment on this video, but I have to say this. Force, you are largely responsible for hyping up things before we know much about them. This kind of media drives people to believe the hype and then they ultimately end up getting burned by the whole thing. This has happened several times by this point. Maybe we should break the cycle of the hype-inducing thumbnails and titles that lead us down this path. You play a large role in that stuff.
im not really defending clickbait or this guy (I didn't know he existed before like two weeks ago) but that's not content creators fault unless they're actively lying. This guy showed clips and quoted the devs, if it ends up being wrong its the devs who lied not him. IDK anything about this guy but I have been following dune awaking since the beginning and he hasn't said anything the devs aren't saying. Maybe in the past hes lied and added hype over nothing but with this its just that he seems to believe the devs. This game may be a disappointment but I don't think we can expect influencers to do more than report what the devs are saying
As an old school MMO player - and just a player that's old - my concern for this kind of thing is ALWAYS the 'griefing' element. When required-for-progression elements (base building, contested resources that are lootable from players, destructible environments, etc) mix with PVP the game space becomes almost entirely owned by the hardcore grinders. It'll be a shame for the studio and the game if it goes that way; because Dune and MMOs have an enormous audience.
I really hope they implement a system for solo players so they can be useful to their faction. Aside from scouting, it would be cool if solo players could become scavengers and bring back resources to their faction’s base in exchange for spice or some type of currency.
I have zero expectation out of this game lmao. They are basically selling dreams. They advertise so many different mechanics and gameplay that I'd be highly surprised if they managed to land like a third of them right ... Thousands of people in a single server ? Suuuure .... Tension mechanics with sandworms ? I can already it not working at all in all but name. Endgame is basically PVP aka "there is no endgame but let's advertise one anyway". I've played Conan exiles for a really long time when it was released and also during its first big expansion and they'd need to really step up from that if they hope to accomplish something worth playing that's not already available in the market and has been for years. They advertised so many different things that I basically lost any hope for it. A little bit more and I'd have wondered if they hadn't recruited the guys from "The Day Before" ...
This sounds a lot like things they have planned but won't be released for literally years after the release of the game if ever at all. I'll believe it when I see it.
I agree, though it is refreshing that they’re being clear about what isn’t in the game. Like in their discord when stuff comes up they’re surprisingly responsive about what isn’t planned I think their team, at least the social media team is rightfully wary of over hype so they’re setting boundaries
Depending on how much of the game is locked behind the PvP aspects, could determine the game's overall popularity. While PvP does have a fairly large following, keeping the PvE and PvP aspects separate did make several games in the past very popular, such as Elder Scrolls Online, Guild Wars 2, Warhammer Online and of course the grandfather of this genre, Dark Age of Camelot.
This looks awesome! I hope they eventually implement Tleilax, Giedi Prime, Caladan, Salusa Secundus etc. or at least some plots involving those factions. Especially the face dancers. Also, it would be incredible to have some expansion with God Emperor content down the line, which would make the game totally different
Since I don’t own a PC and primarily game through console this has been my highlighted game for quite some time, I’m not even buying new games at the moment, just playing ESO still until this game drops
They don't really use guns though in Dune, due to personal shields being so common. Its a pretty major part of dune lore. A slow dagger is more effective than a fast projectile.
@@dreadtrain2846Agreed. It seems like they removed fremen completely and the players will be "outsiders", which is ironic bc of the political message of Dune. Nothing prevented them from creating a completely new world and do whatever they wanted with it, except for the money of course
Oh baby. Been wishlisted since 2022 and it's starting to take shape. People like to talk trash about Conan Exiles but it's easily the best survival game on Steam. It has issues with hackers and whatnot but as far as mechanics and game design. It's the best of the best.
Bro, i can´t tell you how much im looking forward to This Game. I loved Conan Exiles, especially the building system. But this stuff look so much better.
Only for the first few encounters it’s going to be funny. Long term it’s going to be bad for game play if it’s implemented the way my brain is imagining it.
Curious to see how the markets will work. I've always loved games that have both buy and sell orders + regional markets with unique resources so there is an actual trade economy. IE put some buy orders in >> check in the next day to see your order fills > transport to another market with less of that item. Sell some, craft with the rest, etc. I'm looking at a less hardcore take of Eve/Albion Online TBH.
20 year old memory unlocked. About the point they made about how MMO's split into MOBAs and Survival games. First time I heard the name DOTA was on a Totalbiscuit podcast in 2005 sometime, it was called "Blue PLZ!". Funny thing is he was talking about it with someone else who called themselves Leto. Wonder where he got that name from. Such an obscure memory I even had to google some information to make sure it was a real and not something I made up, turns out it was real.
The fact that they are using SWG as their inspiration is awesome! That old game, but with action combat instead of tab targeting, was something so many people have wanted for over 20 years, and hasn't been done yet. Conan Exiles was fantastic, other than the map layout, where you start at the bottom and work your way to the top, then the game feels finished, and it's not that much fun to replay again after. SWG was massive maps, and multiple planets of them, which had a mixture of levels of creatures all over the place, and resources all over the place that you would plunk down resource gatherers, so the whole area of the maps and planets were useful, with no finishing type of feeling for the entire game... Which means you would go back to it.
The Shai-Hulud were slightly glossed over--I really hope all the mechanics attached to the worms are solid. I don't ask we can ride them (for now), but I ask that they invoke the same respect as in the books and films.
Heck yeah! I still reminisce over that game and the cool skill trees/progression, before they jacked it all up. Last i heard, there's an independent version of that original edition out there, that someone is hosting.
If they add the features of SWG, I'll be very happy. I still miss the OG SWG gameplay. That was the last time you had a game where you created a community in-game as part of the game loop itself.
Also Medieval Dynasty got a multiplayer update. This is the year of the survival game. Although I can't imagine a worse universe to build an mmo around. There literally isn't a scrap of customization to be had in Dune.
Eventually if they made it more like Dune: Spice War except first person and randomized Settlers that contribute to advancing Technology. Even a chemical table so your settlers can develop and fuse stronger Alloys but probly alot to think about but a Destiny Variation would be cool as well, very much like Engrams/Daily rewards. Perhaps tax/trade Networks investing in other players Crafting, Munitions, Alloys but to make those should be challenging.
Conan Exiles : it took years for the combat (PvP) to become better and more fun, and even now PvE feels clunky and odd. My hopes are not super high, but that developer did make excellent base building systems, crafting, survival aspects.
This looks pretty amazing! ...I'm just always concerned when devs add survival elements to a game that's this complicated. Sometimes those elements just end up dragging it down.
im still hoping i get closed access to play this as this is my most anticipated game in a very logn time as i love dune the books and the OG movie and new ones
somethign i really hope is they make factions starkly different like the universe shows the great houses and isolate jobs skills and such to set factions so you have to really thinka bout what you want to do who you want to serve and why
Sand storms in Conan Exiles were thrilling first time I played. Mount riding was to ridged though. They really need fix mounts in CE to move more fluidly. Even Palworld mounts feel more natural than Conan that's saying a lot.
I got a strong feeling this is a sleeper! Survival is a understatement, If I'm guessing right it's just a part of it. Will this be a "pick your endgame" MMO I wonder. If Hauling mats is going to be a thing I'm definitely making a Transport Guild!
Is there a timeline where all the races just live on Arrakis and they all have no technology so they build it all from whatever they find on Arrakis? Because that's what they described.
This sounds mostly like Planetside 2 with some survival and maybe some JRPG elements? I'll take a look if it comes out actually decent, but there's so many other games to play that it's kind of just something I might play.
A survival AO style mmo in the Dune universe with a somewhat Planetside PVP aspect sounds amazing. Probably wont be exactly like that, but no doubt it will be good because FunCom kicks ass. And if it falls short they jave a good track record of doing a good job at salvaging a game to be at least fun and entertaining.
Yeah, I’m sure thumpers will be one of the expendable resources like heel potions, that everybody carries you know a dozen bumpers with them or how many ever weight wise you can afford to carry so that at any moment, if you need to, you can drop a thumper and move away, and the war will go for the thumperor let’s say you wanna go in and farm an area and there’s a warm around so you drop a thumper over here to draw it away and then you go to town farm in that area
The levitation ISN'T MAGIC, its SUSPENSOR technology, like what the Baron Vladimir Harkonen uses... Like you see the Sadukar use in the movie. I bet its a peice of gear you can craft...
What’s the story gonna be?? Are we going to pick one of the Great Houses to be a part of? Will we be part of the Fremen? Or able to join them? Who are we, and why are we on Arrakis? I just have a lot of questions, hopefully it will be good. I love the Dune universe
Kinda crafty we get our own straws for friendly fire "accidents". I remember a game called Squad that really had Gankers in the starting area, hope it does not happen here. Do you think the Giant worms will play like EVE Online and take 3 years of work in a single day?
Conan Exiles was rough at times but I still enjoyed the game. If Dune has even a hint of the fun I found in Conan I’ll most likely enjoy my time on Arrakis.
It looks great conceptually. But in practice it will end up as any other "free roam clan based pvp server type mmo" - one guild dominating per server and everyone either joining them or switching servers.

I was there at the start of SWG. The devs referring to it as an inspiration is just music to my ears.
I doubt they will take the right lessons from it though. The crafting system in SWG is still one of the best ever made.
I would pay many amounts of dollars for a SWG game again. There has just been nothing like it since and it did not deserve the death it suffered.
It is sad that crowfall was shut down. It had a crafting system that was very similar to Star wars galaxies.

Funcom is one of the best gaming companies that's made niche games that guys like me have played for 20 years or more at this point
It looks good so far, but I foresee a lot of griefing if they don't implement some option to turn off pvp/crossfire mode.
As someone who was OBSESSED with Anarchy Online when I was young this gives me the warm and fuzzies
Lasers and shields better work like they should...
Melee is the primary form of on foot combat in dune because of shields and lasers.
100% PVP + Thumpers + Invulnerable Sandworm = greffer paradise. Y'all have fun.
Are they harkoning back or Harkonnen back? In all seriousness this looks pretty fun.
Lol exactly what I thought at that part 😄
I feel like this game was presented to us by the Duke Leto Atreides himself
planetside was all i needed to hear im sold

I wonder if we'll have to shift walk in the desert for hours at a time to avoid the worm.
They have confirmed you cannot avoid the worm. It is inevitable.
As someone who have beta tested every Funcom MMO, I will be signing up. However, that also sets a bar for my expectations
I loved Conan exiles for quite a while and definitely registered on their website after watching that launch trailer thingy
I loved The Secret World... Funcom always surprises with some fresh ideas.
Looks good sounds good hope it is

And if it falls short they jave a good track record of doing a good job at salvaging a game to be at least fun and entertaining.
Hoping this is good because loved the Dune movies !
Yeah, I’m sure thumpers will be one of the expendable resources like heel potions, that everybody carries you know a dozen bumpers with them or how many ever weight wise you can afford to carry so that at any moment, if you need to, you can drop a thumper and move away, and the war will go for the thumperor let’s say you wanna go in and farm an area and there’s a warm around so you drop a thumper over here to draw it away and then you go to town farm in that area
The levitation ISN'T MAGIC, its SUSPENSOR technology, like what the Baron Vladimir Harkonen uses...
Like you see the Sadukar use in the movie.
I bet its a peice of gear you can craft...
I believe he means the tech/abilities fulfill the same role in the game as magic did in Conan Exiles
What’s the story gonna be?? Are we going to pick one of the Great Houses to be a part of? Will we be part of the Fremen? Or able to join them? Who are we, and why are we on Arrakis? I just have a lot of questions, hopefully it will be good. I love the Dune universe
Kinda crafty we get our own straws for friendly fire "accidents".
I remember a game called Squad that really had Gankers in the starting area, hope it does not happen here.
Do you think the Giant worms will play like EVE Online and take 3 years of work in a single day?
i hope they do the "voice" power really well
Man watching this has made me want a Planetside 3
So basically Conan Exiles, In space ?
IM ALL IN!
Age of Conan , still my favorite MMO to date. High hopes for Dune ❤
I loved planetside2 I would totally play this, if they can pull it off.
Nightingale is awesome
I want this so badly
It looks and sounds good , I’ll keep my eye on it I guess
This and Star Citizen will be huge and take alot of my free time up haha XD
MOBAs never spawned from an mmorpg though it spawned from a WC3 RTS custom game. Excited to try this though!
Looks amazing.
Conan Exiles was rough at times but I still enjoyed the game. If Dune has even a hint of the fun I found in Conan I’ll most likely enjoy my time on Arrakis.
If they can pull this off, amazing!😁
It looks great conceptually. But in practice it will end up as any other "free roam clan based pvp server type mmo" - one guild dominating per server and everyone either joining them or switching servers.
cant wait
"...while Harkonnen back ..." - I see what they did there.
