The system requirements are as follows:

Reading is for nerds.

The books are absolutely incredible. God Emperor is is in my top 5.

The movies are only ok. Should’ve been a TV show instead.

I’ll certainly try the game.

 

[Hudo]

I dunno man, as a big-ass Dune fan, I tried the game and went away with mixed feelings. It made me actually go back and play Dune 2000 instead. I think a proper 4X would've worked better or a proper RTS. This weird mixture just isn't doing it for me.

 

[Drizzlehell]

Does it have a proper campaign already?

 

[Werewolf Jones]

He who controls Spice controls the Universe.

Maybe the SciFi channels Dune & Children of Dune TV shows from the early 2000's will interest you

Damnit you stole my joke!!

These were really good, the end of Children of Dune with Ghanima narrating is bonkers.

“One door closes, but another one opens. Behind it - our future”.

I didn't know those existed! Thank you!

I bought this game in Early access quite a while ago when it was on sale. It's fun and has a decent amount of depth. Looking forward to the full release.

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

Launch date early as Lies of P...

WTF???

 

[amigastar]

Does anyone know the time it releases on the 14th?
Try it out people it's on Game Pass also.

The movie is better than anything anybody couldve hoped for, stellar acting, incredible cinematics, its an amazing film.

Which one? I haven’t seen the one from 1984, but I heard that it wasn’t too bad.

The one from 2021 is alright. Paul Atreides‘s character comes across as a bit weak for my liking thus far, but we will see what they do with that progression in the sequel.

That universe is amazing.. someone should pick it up and do a proper RPG game

 

[Duchess]

The one from 2021 is alright.

They needed more shots of the planets from space, etc. The scale of the universe was completely lost with the characters simply talking about them. It was a shame they didn't show any of the Highliners, folding space, etc.

The Amiga (and PC) game is a pretty good adventure game set on Dune.

 

[RavenSan]

Nice! Game is a lot of fun. I hope it's successful.
