@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 :)
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
I was 11 years old when I first played this game. I'm 31 now. This game was so ahead of it's time. The cutscenes. The gameplay. The sci-fi aspect. Look how great Age of Empires has become. And this game could easily be better, especially during this time with the movie coming out. It's a shame it came out way too early. I still have it and still play it. It's awesome! Westwood, nerf Devastator tanks. They're OP. 😅
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.
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.

@@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.
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
buying this game was one of the most awesome things that happened to me! today I work as concept artist on AAA titles and I must say this game had a lot to do with it
Ah, my childhood. I was the fan of house Ordos and its super tank that converts enemy vehicles. We, me and my friend played this in multiplayer via 2 direct cable connected Sony Playstations one's for hours. Had lots fun time.
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 like how neither the Atriedes nor the Harkonnen give Ordos their due, and in my opinion they are the most interesting of the three houses. They come out of nowhere to essentially *buy* Arrakis out from under everyone else.

The Dune 2000 mentats rarely interact with others, so the strength of their own performances made the cutscenes. Edric O and Hayt are my all time favorites across all games/movies. Whilst the Westwood Atriedes are a bit bland for my tastes I cannot fault Gimli, son of Glóin. "Emperor, we come for you" is a line I've repeated many times.
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

Then me and me friends play multi player ! What a time we had
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.
What an amazing game....I played it when I was supper young... still remember great atmosphere of the battle ^ _ ^ 2016... I somehow wanted to rewatch everything agin...
I wish they could reboot this game. Being realistic though, there is no market for a "Dune" game right now as there is no new (popular anyways) series, movie or book out to draw sponsors for it.
+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.
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!
i'm loving it in 2023 still.. Just downloaded and installed in last week... i've bashed through all 3 campaigns again already... Dont ask me why i still know évery single Campagnmap, or the composition of the enemy base, or how to set up my own perfect defenses, and mass-producing Base of Operations after all these years.... To me, Dune 2000 is one of thé best RTS games ever made!
John-Rhys Davis should've been in the new Dune movies. He would've made a great Mentat. The Harkonen Mentat was wonderfully acted, but the character is too flamboyant/over-the-top for the new films.
Mikor támadnak téged kisebb hullámokban, majd rájuk küldöd a Devastator osztagot :D felbecsülhetetlen. Napokban elővettem újra, bár inkább egyik barátommal LAN-oztunk, és egyedül Skirmish-t (avagy Practice-t) szoktam játszani :) Legjobb zene szerintem a Rise of Harkonnen. De mintha régen lehetett volna választani (most első ránézésre nem találtam meg az opciót), úgy emlékszem sokszor arra kapcsoltam :D
Too bad it was difficult to combine the codecs of lore scattered around. House Artradies was a Red Hawk, and House Harkenon was Blue Griffon. The Emperor was controlled by House Corino which could have been a 3rd faction it was a golden lion. I guess Ordos could be interesting giving the late Westwood creative liberties to show the bizarness of the feudalistic societies of the far future. Well maybe the IP is open and EA has forgotten about it so it could be picked up by someone else.
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
Mistakes Made in this video. Naib = Leader of Sietch Fedaykin = Fremen Death Commando Tabr = Pronounced Tayber not Taybeer. Sietch = Pronounced Seeitch (essentially a place where fremen live a community cut into the rock) Shai-Hulud = Shai Haulud not Shai Aluud Great Convention Issues. Regarding the Use of Death Hand Atomics by the Harkonnen. They are forbidden to be used against living enemies. Possible repercussions would be annihilation of Harkonnens. Its possible that the usage of atomics is allowed in this case but still its an issue. Symbol of the Harkonnen House is wrong. Its a Blue Griphon in the books. Symbol of the Atreides House is wrong. Its a red hawk. Ordos was not part of the books. Edric O would be a non-violation of Orange Catholic Bible but would be very grey area. Given he is a Cyborg clearly. Almost similiar to a sentient AI. Given the corporal and non-corporal nature. It is possible that a Harkonnen Baron is Cannibalistic but unlikely I think they were just trying to show how less human they are to a degree. Still I enjoyed that game immensely when I played it.
+horusrage ordos was only mentioned in the books but they needed another house and it makes things interesting with all the mistakes and additions it is a very good game
MadScientist3000 They do mention in the cinematics that the Ordos sell banned Ixian tech. Mentats also are not illegal and have their own planet in the dune universe. Ixians are directly mentioned in the books Ordos are not. But it does make sense for there to be a black market. But that seemed dominated by the smugglers.
I like to think that Artero slid into a futuristic earth world and climbed the ranks of House Atreides. He never died of disease, he merely slid without a device.

Then me and me friends play multi player ! What a time we had
So many great game studios during this time. EIDOS, Westwood Studios, Microsoft Games. Great times.
i recently downloaded this game and it was missing these cinematics for some reason. this video is a lifesaver whenever i play it.
All that nostalgia
The Ordos sounds and looks like the Borg
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.
With the new movie out a remake of this game will sell like hot cakes
As game players, we need a remaster of this gem.
This game was my introduction to Dune.
This was my childhood and my first introduction to the Dune franchise
John Rhys-Davies was in this. I had forgotten.
its been 18 years since I played this game last time :P and I was just 6 years old then, this gives me nostalgic vibes
Denis Villeneuve with Dune Trailer: "As you wish!"
Nice that the intro matches the Dune 2 intro word-for-word :)
Absolutely amazin game and the cutscenes were so charmful. And the ost is absolutely perfect. Long live the fighters! EMPEROR! WE COME FOR YOU!!!
Man I loved playing this game when I was a kid
Westwood Studios, same developer as my childhood favorite game and first online experience, Nox!
Am I the only one who thinks the Ordos are more creepy and nightmare-fuel than the Harkonnen?
What an amazing game....I played it when I was supper young... still remember great atmosphere of the battle ^ _ ^ 2016... I somehow wanted to rewatch everything agin...
I wish they could reboot this game. Being realistic though, there is no market for a "Dune" game right now as there is no new (popular anyways) series, movie or book out to draw sponsors for it.
+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
This is basically better than Denis Velnuveuve`s dune
Imagine having Dune now grown to this day,damn i had so much fun playing Dune 2000
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!
I NEED a 10hr video of that wind sound. Always reminds me of Unreal.
Still playing this game today
Atreidis Mentat sounds like Gimli
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
Love how during the Ordos campaign you can see the Mentat consuming more and more spice.
The ordos were like we need spice to power, infinite power.
The blue within blue eyes by the end was a nice touch.
Thatnk you for the debriefing, Gimli
This looks awesome. Old John Rhys-Davies
I used to have this game!! LOL its like 20 years old.
Lots of memories... I loved this game in 2000
i'm loving it in 2023 still.. Just downloaded and installed in last week... i've bashed through all 3 campaigns again already...
Dont ask me why i still know évery single Campagnmap, or the composition of the enemy base, or how to set up my own perfect defenses, and mass-producing Base of Operations after all these years....
To me, Dune 2000 is one of thé best RTS games ever made!
john rhys davies biting the scenery in half
John-Rhys Davis should've been in the new Dune movies. He would've made a great Mentat.
The Harkonen Mentat was wonderfully acted, but the character is too flamboyant/over-the-top for the new films.
This is awesome. I like hanging outwith the characters. 😂
Ah my childhood memories,devastator tank always be my favorit for invade the enemies
I love Dune
Awesome classic!
masterpiece
Ahh, gyerekkorom egyik kedvenc játéka. Harkoneneket imádtam a leginkább.
A zene brutálisan jó volt benne!
Mikor támadnak téged kisebb hullámokban, majd rájuk küldöd a Devastator osztagot :D felbecsülhetetlen. Napokban elővettem újra, bár inkább egyik barátommal LAN-oztunk, és egyedül Skirmish-t (avagy Practice-t) szoktam játszani :) Legjobb zene szerintem a Rise of Harkonnen. De mintha régen lehetett volna választani (most első ránézésre nem találtam meg az opciót), úgy emlékszem sokszor arra kapcsoltam :D
Too bad it was difficult to combine the codecs of lore scattered around. House Artradies was a Red Hawk, and House Harkenon was Blue Griffon. The Emperor was controlled by House Corino which could have been a 3rd faction it was a golden lion. I guess Ordos could be interesting giving the late Westwood creative liberties to show the bizarness of the feudalistic societies of the far future. Well maybe the IP is open and EA has forgotten about it so it could be picked up by someone else.
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
A legend.
Mistakes Made in this video.
Naib = Leader of Sietch
Fedaykin = Fremen Death Commando
Tabr = Pronounced Tayber not Taybeer.
Sietch = Pronounced Seeitch (essentially a place where fremen live a community cut into the rock)
Shai-Hulud = Shai Haulud not Shai Aluud
Great Convention Issues. Regarding the Use of Death Hand Atomics by the Harkonnen. They are forbidden to be used against living enemies. Possible repercussions would be annihilation of Harkonnens.
Its possible that the usage of atomics is allowed in this case but still its an issue.
Symbol of the Harkonnen House is wrong. Its a Blue Griphon in the books.
Symbol of the Atreides House is wrong. Its a red hawk.
Ordos was not part of the books.
Edric O would be a non-violation of Orange Catholic Bible but would be very grey area. Given he is a Cyborg clearly. Almost similiar to a sentient AI. Given the corporal and non-corporal nature.
It is possible that a Harkonnen Baron is Cannibalistic but unlikely I think they were just trying to show how less human they are to a degree.
Still I enjoyed that game immensely when I played it.
+horusrage ordos was only mentioned in the books
but they needed another house and it makes things interesting
with all the mistakes and additions it is a very good game
MadScientist3000 Sorry about the late response to this. But I could not find a reference to ordos in the books only the non-canon encyclopedia.
horusrage maybe they are Ixians, they do mention their technology and they do resemble Mentats
MadScientist3000 They do mention in the cinematics that the Ordos sell banned Ixian tech. Mentats also are not illegal and have their own planet in the dune universe. Ixians are directly mentioned in the books Ordos are not. But it does make sense for there to be a black market. But that seemed dominated by the smugglers.
horusrage now i know where i got confused.
should have been the Ixian and not Ordos
I love this game!!!!
I like to think that Artero slid into a futuristic earth world and climbed the ranks of House Atreides. He never died of disease, he merely slid without a device.
+michael mason yes, the real Arturo from Post Traumatic Slide Syndrome slid to here
