you didnt play conan did you? "took what they had from conan and refined" does not sound good to us, veteran conan players.. oh boy cant wait for the rants :D
I think I figured out what prior game Marvel Rivals reminds me of. It's the over-the-shoulder MOBA "Knights of the Elder Orb" / "Fault: Elder Orb", featured in the college esports movie "1UP". Hopefully the issues which hurt other recent Marvel games are not present for this new one, and it finds its audience and keeps it.
I signed up for the Marvel Rivals beta. Good video but your mic has filthy coom stains on it.
@@davidgoldstein729It's just Overwatch dude. No need to over complicate it.
@@MrAgmoore that's like seeing Fortnite and saying "it's just Apex Legends" or "it's just PUBG".
We're all in an MMO desert where every upcoming MMO turns out to be a mirage.
Facts
Bars
It's like a bad trip to Vegas
MMOs: the dead genre nobody likes that every other game wants to pretend to be for some reason.
cap
Not getting hyped for this at all until they show us true gameplay and what the MTX store looks like.
You must be a virgin
Conan Exiles. just look at that. this is a reskinned/engined Conan. Which is actually a very good thing.
Conan' MTX is good and bad. Battle Pass is free if you complete it and doesn't require daily interaction. traditional DLC's are pretty cheap and comprehensive.
Store is complete FOMO because its a revolving stock and has very high prices.
all the things you buy are pretty nice though and there is a ton of it. It's amazing, because, there is also lot of stuff in the base game.
you don't need any of the DLC though. the game is extremely complete without any of that and none of the DLC includes any actual gaming content. all you can buy for the game are base building assets and cosmetics.
Conan is also a "hosted" game. You can host a single player game or a multiplayer game, both for free, or rent a private server, or play on official servers provided by Funcom. Everything outside of official servers is fully adjustable (full server and admin access).
this means you can play however you want. you make the rules, you set the XP rates and a million other things. Creative mode, full cheat menus...anything you want. No content is hidden behind any grind or anything. full on sandbox. full on creative modes.
It will cater to whales don’t worry
your tripping bc no hud? it deadass shows gameplay so often.
go look at conan's
Can't wait to shout "wormsign!" from my ornithopter and bug out.
Or land and plant a thumper to distract the worm and give your carryall more time to get picked up. I just invented the metagame of this game. Now they have to nerf thumpers.
But, what if the harvester turns off its engines and stays quiet?
This is the way.
It's starting to feel like this would be an amazing single player game that didn't need to be an MMO
A lot harder to sell cosmetic DLC for years for a single-player game.
I disagree. The spice aspect and the fact you can setup individual markets even as a Pve player, you could be a spice runner and never get heavily involved in PvP. Or create factions around trade guilds. Honestly the player market will make this game.
Single player games sucks. No emergent gameplay, everything is prescripted, you are just replaying alone what is designed by devs, that's boring. I'd rather see a movie.
@hegemon3 you ever heard of meta gameplay? They are almost universal in multiplayer games
@@SkiLLAGEx94Metaplaying and minmaxing is fun for many
The gameplay we've been shown actually looks pretty solid, but what I think we all really want is a straight up demo that's not a vertical slice. The gathering looks super fun and interesting having to trace all the different patterns, instead of just hitting 'E' to harvest. Climbing and stuff like that looks fun too... I'm not getting hyped but this looks like it has potential to be fun. I'll definitely try it as soon as I can.
I don't know about the patterns, hpw long until they become more tedious than fun
For someone who grew up loving the books it’s been interesting to see Herbert’s world building become new again. That said, I hope they’ve embraced some of the more esoteric elements of the lore. I hope it’s not just some dumbed down, simplistic survival/looter with a Dune skin. There’s SO MUCH great sci fi in this IP to make something really special. To waste it on a meh project would be a shame. Some of us would like some intellectual sci fi to engage with along with the pew pew. Unfortunately it’s 2024 so hope for the best and expect the worst so a miss isn’t disappointing & a win will be all the sweeter.
This is a great point. While the movies did a great job of telling a very focused story, I think the game has a lot of potential to bring in some of the larger lore in the universe.
I hope so as well, I am a bit optimistic due to Conan Exiles treatment of the Conan lore.
They already said they were steering away from Dune's political and religious themes so yes, its just a cheap reskin clinging on to Dune's name
shut up. go play Conan and then say that. all my brother talks about is how much of the Conan books and movies are in the game. so much so, I had to watch the movies to see all the details for myself.
He was right. I've never played a game, not even LOTRO, that honored the original vison of the writers world building and lore like Conan does. It runs deep in Conan.
don't talk out your ass...@@Skullbushi
@@Skullbushi They havent lmao.. The said theyre doing an alternate timeline for main story and stuff, the lore will still be very much Dune. For the religious and political themes you are wrong, the game will be VERY political and thatll be a main focus for people in the later stages of the game. And for religion, its still apart of the world, just not a focus for the player since I dont believe the player is religious.
Maybe read the articles and not just their headlines
The harvester carried by the ornithopter brought me back memories of Dune 2, the classic RTS. So cool...
Loved that game!
You couldn't build on sand in that game, I wonder if the same thing will apply here.
@@australienski6687 if you can you better not do it, or it won't last long. So yeah, you'll have to build on the rocks.
@@averno9 Also you could kill sand worms in Dune 2, but in this game you can't. Sand worms seem a bit OP if you can't kill them.
@australienski6687 i do think there is atleast 2 varients in the game. Ones thst are smaller and only really a threat to small groups. Then the big fuckefs that you cant kill. I might be wrong tho. Just seems like something i saw somewhere.
Great new information. Sounds solid so far. The "MMO Scale" is definitely up to question.
I think a single player rpg would’ve been better for dune
It sounds like a single player MMO ATM@@TheTTony444
Its promo so don’t fall for it being any solid concept
yeah, seems more like an mmolite, or even just a multiplayer online game than a real mmo
I wouldn't even call Wow, a classic style mmo anymore. The server "sharding" makes it so that you are basically encountering 1 or 2 people in the world, and then the cities just act as hubs where the game pulls everybody into.
Force, congratulations on a million followers. I’ve watched you for a few years. I know I can count on you when reviewing games. You’re normally right on with your reviews. You’re doing a great job man.
You mean 'can' 😂
@@TTomeRR223 Yes, you're right. I'll change that. Thank you for pointing out my typo.
I love how a big desert planet mmo is a true sandbox mmo
They should market it as the first true sandbox MMO.
As long as the other toddlers aren't leaving ... Logs... In the sandbox 😭
Oh boy people don't know what a sandbox is lol well if it's the entire planet of arrakis then it's not a sandbox however if it's only strict parts of arrakis then yes that would be a sandbox! That's like saying no man's sky is a sandbox.
Sand sphere. @@6Alucard6Tepes6
IT'S NOT AN MMO
Different traversal options is always fun. I remember one of the super hero online mmo's had a bunch of different travel mechanics like flying, speed running, leaping, hovering, etc which was pretty fun.
It’s so hard for me to get hyped for games these days, but I really hope this one turns out great (especially right at launch).
Loved watching the new Dune movies and I’ve started reading the books, so I’d love to be able to live out being THE LISAN AL GAIB!
the SPICE MUST FLOW
I have read all 8 books, not sure where this game fits in the universe. Other than being on Arrakis and having sandworms this doesn't feel like Dune.
@@Cannon1221 it doesnt really have any dicrect connection to the source material, its basically a video game with the aesthetics of the films is how i think about it, and i really like those aesthetics. personally i like that theyre focusing on making the game enjoyable before focusing on making the game adhere to lore restrictions
Thanks for the update. Let’s all hope this doesn’t suck.
i hope the devs see this, LET US START OUR OWN PRIVATE SERVERS WITH NO 10 PEOPLE PLAYER CAP, just want a rp server lmao
I don’t really play MMO’s, but if I did, I feel like I would LOVE this one. It looks great!
Probably because it's not really an MMO
@@kevadu What do you mean?
@brando3342 Did you watch the video? Force explains why.
@@eysaak6157 I heard him explain why they say it’s an MMO. I’m guessing you don’t agree with the developer? That was why I asked why.
Don't be fooled none of it is actual in game footage
11:04 to be able to copy any building in the world for your base design is a brilliant idea and not something I’ve ever seen before in any other game with base building! Having similar structures dotted around the world will make player buildings stand out far less, and look more natural if they can match the surrounding architecture instead of just a workbench with a basic roof in some random ravine.
I honestly won't trust any overhyped game, especially overhyper survival games untill they are well released and reviewed by tons of people.
Wouldn't say this is overhyped at all or an overhyper survival game lmao.
Willing to give them the benifit of the doubt given how well supported Conan exiles is.
Steam reviews only! Preorders are for dummies. Wait and see what happens.
I wouldn't say it's overhyped. Most people are pretty skeptical
Well then you should love this game there is barely any hype, it’s almost entirely people going “I’ll believe it when I see it”
Did you see sword fighting? How does it work? How do shields work?
I've got to be real here, every time I look at the Dune mmo there is a part of me that has a bit of hopium for it but every. single. time I can't help but go "Yeah but it's Funcom" have they put out okay things in the past? Yeah sure but honestly it's like seeing a nice kebab on a night out, look great but god damn that paper that it's wrapped in that has gone transparent due to grease is keeping me skeptical about how bad it actually might be.
The most skeptical thing for me is the server performance. Because I love CE, but the server performance is the bane of it's limelight. That being said, I only recently learned that CE was supposed to be a single player game that got converted after the fact. I still don't think that's no excuse to not actually create a proper server software, but at least it's understandable.
@ItsKatsuragi the only thing that's skeptical for me is that is sand walking
I just wanna sandwalk and get addicted to spice but I found out it might not be in the game because its not fun (they could of made it optional or a skill where u have to practice not attracting worms then practicein worm territoriesand keep practicing until ur good )
Regardless of the actual game, I love your presentation: it's objective, measured, thoughtful, and most importantly: no hype.
Keep em coming Force
That's a cool way to make gathering items a little more thought-provoking, while not making it annoying. This game seems really promising with a lot of ideas like that.
Tracing was fun as a toddler
As long as the grind for resources isn't so harsh that we need to break 1000 rocks with a stupid pattern. Then it might get annoying.
Warframe had something like this and it gets kinda old fast, like short bursts its nice but if you are on grind mode. Meh.
I just hope there will be accessibility options to disable that. My hands are quite shaky due to disability so I can't do a lot of precision movement, not even with a mouse.
Would be difficult for bots too
Sounds like what the Division was originally meant to be before it morphed into a full scaled looter during development then we only got a taste during the Survival dlc
Kind of tired of this "Base-building survival MMO" meta we seem to find ourselves in. The emphasis is always on the building as opposed to the world/combat/character progression, which is sleep-inducing to me.
It's because they are cheaper and easier to make and they can just pump em out..
You need to play their last game Conan exiles!
if they have day and night cycle it will be cool to travel and be conscious of the change in light angle and shadows to not get heat stroke
Sounds cool 😎, looks good. Hopefully, solo players will be able to do everything. I'm looking forward to more on this.
You don't need to be faster than the sand worm, just faster than your slowest friend.
I so hope this is good and not another smoke and mirrors money grab.
It's smoke and mirrors for sure
@@TheMasterwitcher You could be right - conversely, at the very least they've shown people 'actual' gameplay and the people who have seen it, all agree that it looked well optimized and they liked what systems they saw. Most of the time with cash-grabs, the developers rarely (if ever) take the time to optimize things. They know they're just going to release and take the money. Doesn't matter if the game tanks because they'll make the money off the initial sales so it's not worth spending time making it run correctly. At least historically that seems to be the case. I'm cautiously optimistic. Having said that - the moment there are red flags, expensive ass pre-orders, focus on MTX etc, I'm fuckin outty-5000. Lol
@@Sabamonster that last bit made me howl xD fucking outty-5000 xDD
@@Sabamonster Historically, Funcom does all that and more. Battle passes and MTX. The gameplay looks much better in a solo environment because online in Conan Exiles you wouldn't go 5 minutes without several instances of rubber banding and lost input. I'm on fiber optic internet and it still felt worse than Ark Survival Evolved as far as server response.
It is 100% a money grab to cash in on the popularity of the movies, I’m willing to bet this project didn’t even start as a dune IP
"Sandbox MMO". Seems particularly apt.
looks pretty good, thx 4 the video. I used to play Dune 2000 a lot, so nice to see all these new generations gettin' into Dune.
These isn’t Dune the RTS games and Dune 1984 that is Dune
The thing that concerns me the most is the gathering system, how complex will it be? If it's too complex it can make gathering high level resources almost impossible under the sun, and if it's too simple it'll be more a bother then a nice thing
On the technical side Funcom games are usualy a bit janky, but they often have fresh ideas and interesting gameplay. Secret World had realy sophisticated quests and puzzles unlike in any other MMO.
wait what? Funcom? I nolifed secret world when it was released. okay. now im interested.
A flawed but unique MMO. I had a lot of fun with it when it first came out.
It looked like one character had maker-hooks which (in the books) the Fremen use to ride worms. Was there any indication that worms could be ridden in game?
Anarchy Online 2. I’ve been waiting for 20 years! Can’t wait to see if they add grid armor.
Are you that dense to think this is AO2?
@@Joshua-ix4bh no you’re dense.
dune mmo sounds wild. I get that there are other worlds, but what comes to mind is desert desert desert. I love snow, so much. It is my favorite game setting. Coming out in Loch Modan via the tunnels the first time was an amazing feeling. Having this in mind, my thoughts are just to run away when my brain say desert desert desert :P.
When devs start releasing extended sneak peaks instead of trailers, the game will be an 8/10 max on release if we're lucky.
Tracing, my 6 year old is gonna love it.
MMO means Mass Multiplayer Online. Seems to fit that exactly.
Most people think MMO and what they are really thinking about is MMORPG or whatever.
Its massive, not mass, no?
@@SETHthegodofchaos Massive * you are correct.
I loved the video as always Force more excited for the game!
19:55 Could I ask about the backstory of the love between your beard and your mic? Would love to know =P they are so quiet about it.
The Day before vibes :D cant wait for this turning out to be an extraction pvp shooter
This just makes me want a Mad Max mmo.
New Quest: collect 10 liters of guzzoline
Build your own car and weapons. Sewn your own clothes. Raid and trade. I am sold.
Oh man, Lord Humungus would rule all!
I started on somthing like that using arks survival stuff, but yeah, build cars, collect materials, create a fleet, tame wild boys. But I scrapped it bc of money and I didn't think it would do that good.
@@LochMessNomster future game developers, please start making survival games where i can start out as a badass. i don't want to thave to punch trees for an hour when I start playing a game for the first time.
Wow, we saw 5 seconds of actual gameplay
Sounds and looks good. Lets hope they can deliver. Thanks Force!
Warframe had that mining system and it got old super fast... they later changed it to a timed click thing where you'd have to target a smaller area to get better loot while the "cursor" moved back and forth
I'm a Conan Exiles enjoyer so, I'm hyped :)
Im sold on the superman hovering
Why is this not a single player RPG ?
Because MMOs “make more money”
The structure building is super nice, have used the exact same mechanics in other games. (blueprints, to others can build it, saved blueprints to copy something you have created for a use elsewhere etc.)
I think the best monetization plan for a release for an MMO is to have a paid game with a subscription model and initial purchase gives 1 year free subscription. They can then add cosmetics or keep the subscription model later.
New World can survive with just buy to play model, without subs
@@sendoh7x New World is barely surviving though lol
@@cosm0850 yeah but it got nothing to do with its monetization, probably
@@sendoh7x A sub definitely allows the devs to create more content. New world has a bit of content for every big expansion they sell.
Lol no dev would ever give a 1 year sub with purchase. Maybe 1 month free
The thing I am confused about is the base building mechanic. If servers are layered phases will your base just be hopping from layered phase to layered phase? What happens if someone built a base in the exact same location and you both happen to be on the same layered phase?
I wanna kno wat the melee combat is like. Are there parries blocks feints?
Fun traversal? Imagine Once Human with vehicles that didn't take fall damage and were faster. That map would be awesome for it. I hope this game does what so many overlook.
Considering how they ruined Conan Exiles with battlepass & macrotransaction trash, and failed miserably with Age of Conan: Unchained. I have little hope for this game being at all good.
"MEEEHEHEE THEY DID SOMETHING BAD SO EVERYTHING THEY DO NOW IS BAAADD MEEIEIELWEJEIEJE"
@@OnlyLocus or we follow the laws of they do this shit all the time so expect it everytime. Now you can cry 😅
@ethaneshelman321 metal hellsinger was a great game and I enjoyed conan, whats wrong with extra content for a price, when has that ever been a foreign idea? everybody bought dlcs for games when they released lmao, just mad coz one thing, and blow it up like it's the end of the world lol
@@OnlyLocus COPIUM at its finest.
@@ethaneshelman321 do you just find any chance to use the word copium? seems like it. you must be poor.
1 million subs. Congrats Force. It’s been a long road.
I really hate this type of skill system where your character knows a lot of skills but some reason you are forced to pretend you don’t know them and only allowed to use a few when in the world. 😢
yeah, that's more of an arpg thing, and it still irks me in games like PoE, D4, Last Epoch, etc.
That's necessary to have any potential balance and it also allows many more powerful skills to coexist. I'd rather be able to use a few really impactful skills than have a million skills that are all just meh and managing all of them is just tedium. It also allows for more builds to exist and more potential to have choices to make (as long as the system is not too limiting).
Too many skills and you end up with one of the many Rust but 10x more complicated knockoff survival games. There's a balance to strike and I really hope this game hits it.@@piktasniekas8124
"For he IS the Kwisatz Haderach!"
I saw a live stream from Force and he really doesn't like story or low combat based games. I was able to deduce this by the fact that he skipped all of a story on a game he was going to review that he was live streaming. He just wants combat... So this 5:10 came to no surprised to me.
He also doesn't like to spend a lot of time with a single game, which is understandable as his job here is to cover a lot of games, but I think it also makes him separate to regular players, who DO want to get immersed in games and spend a lot of time in those worlds.
I sure DO HOPE that when flying an ornithopter, there is an option to lay back the wings to perform a brief free fall like in the movie.
That would be so incredibly cool and I will curse the developers if it isn't there!
So let's think ahead this time. What could possibly go wrong with this game? What scandals and controversies await us upon this games release? What will cause an uproar amongst gamers THIS time?! Something always going wrong these days and gamers are always up in arms about something lol!
Where my head at everytime a new game is teased nowadays 😂
It's Funcom, they've earned their sh*tty reputation multiple times over. Wait for release and review before investing as the initial asking price is FAR from what they expect you to pay to enjoy their game.
The template building style is so much better than most traditional ways. Nightingale did the same, and it made base building much better.
Conan Exiles is the only game where I liked the base building system - I built them all over - so hopeful for this. Didn't particularly enjoy base building in Nightingale.
The Polar regions of Arrakis are also much wetter and have extensive ice deposits. There are also some planted areas, most of which are in the South of Arrakis. (The Spacing Guild has a special agreement with the Fremen, paid in Melange, to not keep satellites over the South of the planet to keep their terraforming efforts and numbers secret)
There was more gameplay in the b-roll for your sponsor. Id rather play that game tbh.
I'm looking forward to those Spice MTX.
/s
That resource collection is gonna get tedious quick
Would need to increase the material yield to balance it out
if the performance and stability were good then this game will be the next king
Let us not kid ourselves. You will probably need a high-end beast to be able to smoothly play this thing.
The PvP is going to be like Conan but better!!! Good ole toxic fun, I'm hyped
A fellow Helldiver!
are there factions or is the story from a set perspective. ie can we be harks or smugglers or fremen or atreides, or are we stuck with the one they choose '(prolly fremen)
I dunno man... I don't know if I can handle an MMORPG that's all desert. Desert levels are my lease favorite.
This game sounds good so far. I can’t wait to see some gameplay
Does it have fast travel DLC? lol
Lmao yall keep circlejerking this like fast travel isn't available without the dlc.
@@lazerrhinofr lmao
@@lazerrhinoBut we can’t deny the fact that there literally is fast travel for sale
In 2024
@damianramirez5292 it's not though. It's only giving you a fast travel location, but the game gives it to you also. It's just for lazy people who want that item from thr beginning of the game, which is stupid because you don't have the fast travel consumable until later. And that consumable is only earned in-game.
Oh course. Everyone knows built in fast travel is for boring games. Exciting games only have fast travel as a DLC!
the MMO concept with the connected servers sounds like Last Oasis
Something smells fishy....
A lot of features this early in development. I’m kind of impressed.
Is anyone else getting tired of the survival crafting simulators they are calling MMOs?
I think the system Atlas had was good. Where its a giant map, with eqch square of the map its own server, and you would float to the edge of the map section to move servers.
Funcom is fantastic studio i hope this game live up to the expectations
u have to be joking
@@florencioloyou’d be surprised how many people wouldn’t know what a good studio is if it fucking dropped a car on them.
i dunno why but the menu and graphical elements of certain things feel exactly like destiny!
Sounds more like an MO than an MMO. Which is great too.
“I must not hype, hype is the joy killer.”
Dude no way this is an actual MMO if all these events are going on and it’s not a 64 player server this is going to be nutty.
I like the resource harvesting mechanics. I hope that won't be nerfed 🤞
It's like no one know what MMO stands for Massive multiplayer online.. that in it self mean there is a lot of people.. thats MMO thats all there is to it.. this is going to be like rust a Wipe like game with building quests and pvp, instead of cargo and oil rig you got falling ships and worms.. Excited as hell for the release of this game, can't wait to be the big dog and raid all da noobz
Harkonnen turned good gonna be crazy
Extremely jealous of all of you that are getting to see or have access to this. I have been signed up for AGES to test, and I have been in the discord constantly to no avail. Its super frustrating.
I'm really getting Star Wars Galaxies vibes from this so far.
One can only hope.
they did state that as one of their primary inspirations
I want a few more classes:
Messiah
Guild Navigator
Spice addict
GOD EMPEROR
Sardaurkar
Fremen
By the grace of the Golden Throne
lmao you arent going to get to be a messiah, navigator, god emperor, sardaurkar, or fremen. but you can get addictded to spice afaik
This sounds pretty awesome, almost too good to be true. My biggest worries for this game are its monetization, polish at launch, and its faithfulness to the source material. Id like to see more of the melee combat its worrying that weve really only seen ranged combat at this point in the Dune universe where its known to be prodominantly melee combat. Also they didnt mention it but there being a character creation and there being an option to start as a Bene Gesserit, if you can play as a male Bene Gesserit thats like a serious no no in Dune lore, also I dont see any choice to start as a Freman in the starting class options (maybe that will come later idk). The games mechanics and visuals looks pretty great tho ngl
I can’t wait to be using the voice!
It really does take a good movie adaptation or great video game for people to start caring about the books. I was lucky enough to read dune before i had seen the Lynch version. But I definitely played Witcher before even thinking about reading the books. It’s brilliant that adaptations can spark interest in the literature. Its cool to see.
Mentat sounds like a good pick for solo play.
One thing that got me from the reveal and from news sites talking about it is that apparently noone knows how you harvest resources in Warframe (hint: it's the same as what they're doing in this Dune game)
Having giant unfightable sand worms eating entire groups of people when they start fights is an amazing concept, brings me back to The Burning Crusade in warcraft when players trying to pvp or quest would get chased down and stomped on by the Fel Reaver. Those dynamic open world threats definitely make the game feel more alive.
Curious to see how they plan to balance the climbing mechanics with the questing in order to prevent it from making them trivial. Overall this game looks very very promising. Let's just hope they don't ruin the entire thing with micro transactions.
Definitely looking forward to this. Funcom started with a Sci Fi MMO so it's nice to see them return to the genre.
Sounds fun, has potential.
It would be interesting if the other planets from the Dune series get added later.
Watching the harvester drive, i did notice frame drop
I hope it also has 1st person, also in the vehicles.. I’ve been flying the orni in vr in msfs2020 & it rocks
When does this come out tho?
I've never watched the movies or even read the books but I do love an MMO. Seems pretty interesting so far at least.
