Dune: Awakening - Exclusive Gameplay Reveal 

He can’t, you cannot PvP in hagga bashin

@@OneTomatothat won’t stop them from running you over. Pve just means it can’t kill you (if they’re referring to Conan horses and the javelin 😂).

I'd say it's more of a 50/50 chance he'll either miss you completely or continuously hit you till your PC crashes due to how much rubberbanding you'll both be doing on launch day.

that dude will be me

And that is awesome

Aint that the truth.. winter is coming.. I can use my computer to heat my house

What are the specs?

real

Roast some marshmallows while you play for a tasty snack

Bro, it looks like Mass Effect 3

I bet same goes for all bigger vehicles, probably a lot of grind only to lose it to someone else anyways

Hopefully. My first thought was the amount of griefing that will happen with that thing.

It's possible is a world event and all teams have so long before the thumper is deployed. Like a 5 minute pvp match and a thumper comes out at 4 minutes or something.

@@serrahighsfinest from what I've gathered, the worms are active AI, thumpers can be deployed but they may not work if a worm isn't already nearby to begin with, it doesn't just spawn them in

Nah, just make them have a cooldown.

Fortunately for me, I am always intent on kicking someone's door in.

And people just walk around sand in a straight line? Standard walking animations don't work on dune

and add more cake and jiggle physics

​@@Artofficial1986 sandworm cake

No

Your base can’t be destroyed, they literally said to build in rock formation and not sand

@@OneTomato The main base cannot be destroyed, but anything built in the deep desert will get destroyed. Either by a sandstorm or by players.

@@weakish if is maintain it wouldn’t be destroyed by the sandstorm, yeah of course in the deep desert your base may be destroyed by players but that’s if your shields goes down, talking with Joel he said they raiding is not much of a thing in dune awakening

This but unironically.

​@@weakish From what I've seen that's only true if you keep up on your tax to the Emperor, so if you fail at PvPing for Spice, your base is open to raids and destruction.

There's a high likelihood of updates to allow players to travel to the ice caps and offworld + a possible 4th House.

Well, they are still updating Conan Exiles to this day and it came out in 2018. They, meaning Funcom.

@@krys2fur Different type of game, tell me how they've managed their MMOs in the past...

@@Simm0700 Heh, I'm looking at this trailer and it screams Conan Exiles in its ADN to me. That's not a bad thing at all, but I sure how the jank is gone. Conan Exiles could be so much better... We'll have to wait and see.

Considering the original licence, this game looks already dead even before release : can't be more generic than this...

Same

I think it's still in early stages which is why they showed so little all of it.

@@Tommy-hv8pk could be

@@Tommy-hv8pk true, I just would’ve liked more focus on it

@@Tommy-hv8pk Since when has that ever been the case

Same, If this game is just broken unbalanced, piece of crap, then im gonna be pissed off, but they have had many years to develop this game, so I think it should be mid at worst

@@macaL9 honestly it can be so much worse than that I hope that they are planning on what to do IF the player counts go up, and also I hope that is just fucking optimized so I can run it without it being a stuttery piece of shit like every other MMO on launch. Also they should have added something for single player imo, simply for those with bad internet or those who just want to live in the world of Dune

100% starting my streaming journey wit dis game who want to be apart of my guild lolll

The combat just looks insanely bland... idk we'll see

@@jordanharris286 i agree i hope that they make it fun because every other dune game is so shit lmao

yes!!! more content for solos guys!!

in an mmo? am i missing something?

@mandurrudnam7632 yes my friend, many people have no friends , sad , I know

there is legit nothing to do in this game solo based on this trailer

@@fakeangel9641 if it will be the same on release - they just lose a big bunch of solo\casual players :) Who obviously grown ups without much time for grind and 24\7 rat race.

1. there is melee in the game, literally a class featured in this video is based around that style, we just only get glimpses of the melee. 2. Guns are absolutely used on Dune, the personal shields drive the worms into a frenzy, no-one wears them beyond the shield wall. You mention the first Dennis film, I guess you forgot the opening of the second where a troop of Harks get sniped.

@@SA80TAGEare you slow… guess what the majority of the combat is in both the movies and books…….

In the gameplay, they showed the unbalance when one uses shield and the other uses guns. Melee will definitely be powerful!

He didn’t say there were no guns, he said they should be less punishing. Melee weapons are the main choice in the general Dune universe because lasguns cause nuclear explosions when they hit an active shield and general firearms that we saw in the second film would be useless against one. There are obviously other planets outside of Arrakis, so this is really an exception to everywhere else. It gives the devs a little leniency with weaponry, but it’s a valid concern because if this ends up as a generic 3rd person shooter it’s going to be disappointing.

@@mitch7424 That has been addressed for game purposes. In this case, when using a lasgun on someone who has shields, the Lasgun will stop working against the shield wearer, making it a liability against anyone with a shield, but devastating against anyone who doesn't. On the topic of shields, having a shield activated on open sand is a death sentence as it will quickly bring in Sandworms, so its a trade off. Fight with shield and gain an edge against long range weapons, but bring in sandworms faster. Or fight without shields and lose that advantage, but not trigger sandworms until much later. But this game more or less proves a point i've made for a long time, shields are powerful but not perfect or impenetrable and good old quantity still works against shields. Granted creating a slow penetrator round is highly efficient, but expensive and regular ballistics work well against shields, just take a while to break the shields. On the note of firearms, so far it seems that weapons are holtzmann effect weapons, meaning they are more like railguns than conventional ballistics, with the Holtzmann effect being a gravitic accelerator kind of thing, propelling spike type projectiles at high speeds without the need for antiquated gunpowder.

Shai-hulud, bless the maker

Sandworm. 400 meters long and 80 meters mouth. Their larvae produce the Spice (most valuable resource in Dune).

​​@@randomuserameBless the maker and his water Bless the coming and going of him May his passage cleanse the world May he keep the world for his people.

​@@s1nd3rr0z3Kynes's words, dude, bless the Kwisatz Haderach be with you

That's Arrakis for you

i can already imagine it haha, about to lose and with last ditch effort you just nuke the whole place with a worm

Duuude you might like this film called dune or dune part 2

@@peskyseagull no way! They made a movie based on the game already? Before you know it they'll make a book series too! Holy cow

@@RaeXO don't be crazy. A book? pfft!

@@Corusame 🤣

Just like Conan Exiles, it will have separate servers, some pve, some pvp and some pvp with limitations.

@@gammaray2260 just didnt sounded like that. You Want Spice, you have to PVP. thats what it sounded like

@@marvinfreitagsmueller9527 From what I've heard there are hot zones in the game where PVP is enabled like Spice fields but you can build your base away from those zones where PVP isn't enabled. If you don't like PVP there will be servers for you to play on, they wouldn't alienate PVE players I promise you that

The Deep Desert is periodically completely reset by Coriolis Storms, giving you a brand new map to explore each time. That will help a lot.

They created conan exiles more content is def coming

AFAIK the "shifting sands" is a map POI clear/cycle so that "after the storm" there's new stuff to find/look for. Also, they can borrow a lot of stuff from whatever the movie brings to the universe since they're working closely with the film adaptation (particularly with art direction/style. It looks like the "walking around" parts are actually separate maps/play spaces, connected by an "overworld/over-map" that you fast-travel between

Conan exiles it's pretty fun still

What others said but they specifically mentioned the map design the way it is so they can continue to add to the planet. Meaning more map areas after release. I.e the snow capped poles.

@@chrish813 this garbage would be an insult to AO

Nah AO was pretty garbage. It was a nice concept but poorly implemented.

This is a timeline without Paul Atredies being born, so things won't match the books.

@zainegardner those circumstances wouldn't stop Carthag from being built, since the Harkonnens still ruled over Arrakis for the time. Regardless, the newer video just gave a decent reason why Carthag is gone, so I'm not pushing it further.

@@Rauruatreides Dude, they have every character who gets into the game going through the Gom Jabbar trial. That in and of itself isn't even remotely close to canon. If you're into Dune even remotely, throw out any idea of this game being at all faithful to the books in any semblance other than "iconic things." Take it for what it is, because hoping for something more respectful than what we're going to get is a waste of time. 😆

@@_Digishade_ Don't think of it as World of Dune, think of it as Anarchy Online 2.

@@_Digishade_ It is going to be the world of Dune, except one where there is no Muad'Dib/Quizats Haderach to break the current regime. Also the surprise attack on Harrakeen fails spectacularly, leaving the Atreides as one of the most powerful Houses in the Imperium. The Harkonnen are not out of the game, but have to rebuild slowly and fight for Arrakis. Same with the Emperor, whose plot got exposed and so is forced to send his Sardaukar Legions to secure his own Spice production. The Guild has a vested interest in the spice continuing to flow and so will transport anyone who can supply the spice, meaning that the Guilds monopoly is breaking as lines are drawn. And the Gene Besserit sisters continue their plots in the shadows manipulating all against one another for their gain. If anything this is a more interesting universe than the original, as several factions vie for power and control and the traditional control methods break down to allow the spice to continue to flow. In fact other actors could appear, like the Ecaz, Tleilaxu, Ix, who see an opportunity for their own rise to power in the midst of this war between the Atreides, Harkonnen and Corrino and the Guild selling its services to whomever can continue to provide spice.

beta will be free, this is not AOC xD

Broke 🍆 complaints are remedial.

Buddy, this studio has a huge backing compared to the other studio you are complaining about and especially since they told you straight up to not buy it, get your money up

the game is free if you pirate it

@@sebassg3668 He's making fun of Star Citizen. Learn to read the room.

And wait year or two

Nothing wrong with pre-ordering, it's my money, if game's bad - that's on me.

Not this time, buddy. This time I am...

You can't tell me what to do with my money. If the game is bad, then that's on me. And if all of us suddenly stopped pre-ordering, it doesn't mean the game will magically be good.

@@JoshuaLintag2 @SeroSM You guys are the reason why current gaming is what it is....

@@macgonzo if you loved EQ1, I recommend you to check Pantheon Rise of the Fallen. I played the alpha and I can tell you is the closest MMO to the original EQ ever made.

This is looking a lot like some Ark Survival/Rust pastiche or maybe Destiny depending how many missions they do. Don't know why they're claiming it's a competitor, it's obviously one of those games where they rely on players to create their own excitement. Claim a plot of land and put your shitty house down.

I heard that the sand walk will be a feature in the game, don't know how though

Me me me me me, nobody cares. Thanks for posting these enlightening words about yourself.

In some respects I almost consider the griefers part of the mechanics and lore with a game in this context, the battle for survival being rather merciless. Also means friends and allies are as rare n valuable as water in the desert. Just my thoughts on how I RPG it.

This is now your calling: become the lisan al griefter!

I know what you mean. I wonder how they plan on handling this. Hopefully its not just (If you cant beat them join them) Hope small groups or even solo play is possible without just having a horrible time.

There’s no pvp in the main map you play in. There’s a specific map where pvp takes place

@@NRProductionss there are pvp specific areas in the main map, it's not confined to just deep desert.

i don't get your issue, you just described a literal MMO game.. it will work.. like a mmo game..?

pretty much, then the game is left to hardcore fan alone. If they have enough people and sustain it, the game will continue. I quite looking forward to it, but once notice its MMO... I drop it, I just can't bear MMO in this era. I'll leave this to many people who enjoy it =3

@@AonGreyFox Same,MMO means a dead game,It needs a solo mode so bad

If it doesn’t have any i’m not playing

Then your computer will be as hot as the desert

I ought you to watch their other Videos on the Chanel where they are explaining evrything =) where you build your, base pvp is mostly deactivated, and I think Iheard that you are not full loot on death but idk if that fact is true

@@Vitnir that doenst sounds good aswell. So there IS allways pvp ? what we want to hear is, there is a server without that shit. PVP Optional. Thats the way to do it. They will lose so much players if they go all the way forcing it

@@marvinfreitagsmueller9527 AFAIK there won't be different servers, I believe you start in the south of the map where there's just PVE, but if you go north far enough you'll eventually start to run into PVP.

interesting

But no knives 😢

​@carnifex17 yeah, they better have them at least as a hand to hand option.

Rolling over the sands, you can see spice in the air

A dune and silent hill fan😍

Probably PvP zones like "the dark zone" kinda setup

You do know there's safe zones you can build in right? You don't have to do pvp. They have said this multiple times now.

Wrong game for you.. all the carebears always trying to ruin games.

@@vlatepes1901Oh, if that’s the case, wrong game for me. That’s the worst of both worlds

But it's a mmo...

wtf are you dumb bro

Not complicated to show a CLEAN GAMEPLAY when the gameplay itself appear to be extremely lackluster.

@-MeTeC- damn gurl, you're going in huh? This game is definitely not ready for early access.

In before modders find re-skinned assets from Conan.

I imagine the mechanic is in game. Will be a game of rock paper scissors to risk any item you use.

they got permission to change that part of the lore for the game i think

Well, the interaction is supposed to be chaotic and random (one of which does include the double explosion). Obviously though, they can't just remove that aspect entirely.

Dude the gunplay looks extremely easy, cheating in this would give you what advantage😂

I need to be a sardaukar so bad

Seems like someone isn't familiar with the books. It's just an homage to the novels, no one actually believes that it's the most dangerous, though it is objectively harsh as hell especially in the deep desert with the Coriolis storms

YESSIRRRRR. What house are you picking??

​@@vype3rxTCMHouse Targeryan

Early 2025. Soon!

​@Funcom cannot wait for this Can we start on PC then switch/log into our accounts on xbox and it all carries over? Excited to see the controller buttons on the screen.

@@Funcom Funcom PLEASE let me into the beta my birthday is soon and I’ve been waiting for this game since you announced years back, I have been subscribed and waiting for the beta test email I beg of you please let me in

they gota fix that lol wasnt sure if it was just an fps limit thing or not but it looks really bad in the video

All animations could use a LOT MORE work xD . people walk like they had some kind of down syndrome

I would be more concerned for the game engine having memory leak issue which causes the game crash to desktop right in the middle of the game fight!

Debatable. In this game's version of events, the Harkonnens and Atreides have been fighting for years on a planet where you can't activate your shield unless you're somewhere worms can't go. Guns become effective weapons again, so of course they proliferate.

​@CurtWatson while I'd prefer there be few guns, you make a good argument. It also fits a bit with the book and movies, where Harkonnens kind of reintroduce this old technology.

Boring ass meme

You can just go do the main story and avoid other players if you really want to

@@macaL9 but this game is not a tailored single player experiene, don't get me wrong the game looks good but you just know the missions will be rinse and repeat because of the nature of the game.even the user interface looks straight out of destiny,, the looting , system is also less borderlands and more destiny. we know what we will be getting with this game

😂 🤡. Here come the carebears.

@@RobotronOG So pathetic like a broken record.

@@MyAssassin15 He’s probably a troll and will be one in the game too lol

Beta has been going for long while now. Not everyone who signed up is going to get invited.

@@CurtWatson im talking about a "open beta"

@@SendisHere I haven't seen anywhere where they've said there was going to be an *open* beta. Just a periodically expanding closed beta.

@@SendisHere heard no mention of open beta buddy. Me thinks your source might've got it wrong. Closed Betas are ongoing with anyone invited having to sign an NDA.

You know MMOs have been calling it body type 1,2,3,4,5, for 25 years right ?

@@OneTomato As someone who's been gaming for the entirety of videogaming's existence, not really. Don't gaslight yourself.

@@_Digishade_ go inform yourself, there has been MMOs that have called different body type, specially ones with different shapes of bodies, because in most cases is not just feminine and masculine looking one but also other races, fat, short, tall ones etc etc Dune awakening will have more then 2 types of bodies, and instead of naming every single one like “fat body” “muscular body” they are just calling them “type 1” “type 2” same thing in games like BG3

​@OneTomato not sure what youtuber told you this, but it's cherry picked crap. There are 2 body types in the character creator shown, and even when games had more than 2 body types, they were still clearly split into 2 sexes. Now ask yourself who's letting them get away with only 2 options. Because when nerds get mad about it, it's just spun into "they only care about it not saying male and female". It's a scam, and you're pushing it for them.

amen bro

Which is the exact same amount of your own money you would risk.

@@Br1mston3 What do you mean exactly ?(besides the fact that I give my money to a lot of things with zero counterpart, and I'm not a rich person, at all)
