Aye! sigh qft! oh but we can dream... I read ALL the dune books, then saw the original movie, then uncut, while not as good as the books they did well. The SciFi redo and expansion into the Children of dune was well done regardless of a few variances from the orignal movie (stayed within the books concepts). If a mmorpg as indepth as Eve, was made for Dune, I would have to try it. Maybe along the lines of the God Emporer saga, which lasted for centuries (more then enough time frame for any mmorpg). FRODO HAS FAILED; BUSH HAS THE RING!!! The HippoKing spots a new post
Militis Kolosok Caldari	Posted - 2006.08.08 19:47:00 - [11] Planetary flight would be awesome. Good ol' Earth & Beyond times.

So no PvP? Would be better imo prior to the Dune saga so that you can have the Houses duke it out _______________________________________________ Every time you whine a little HAC is destroyed.

Dr Happy	Posted - 2006.08.08 20:06:00 - [14] As long as they don't allow poeple to use spice and then have a rnadom chance of becomign a god
Dark Shikari Caldari Imperium Technologies Firmus Ixion	Posted - 2006.08.08 20:09:00 - [15] I think the biggest issue here is that, contrary to popular belief, people don't play games because they're set in a universe they like. They may try it because of that, but if the game sucks, the fact that the game is Star Wars or Warcraft or whatever won't keep them there. Thus, a good MMORPG in X fictional universe would probably have been just as good without X fictional universe, unless the developers are really horrible at thinking up universes and manage to sabotage the whole thing simply because they're not guided by a book. --Proud member of the [23]-- -WTS Heavy Electron II, 100mn AB II

Not to mention it will bore the rest of the world to death. Seriously, watching Dune was like trying to grow something in a sand dune. You know nothing interesting's going to happen and you don't know why you're watching. IMO. Originally by: Ghosthowl WoW = hardcore paladins smashin dat face.

Mirirar Caldari Solstice Systems Development Concourse	Posted - 2006.08.08 21:32:00 - [27] Doesn't make a lot of sense... you'll get a game that plays a lot like Eve, only with a different art style, and CCP will have to pay license fees to whomever owns the Dune franchise. CCP is lucky - they don't owe anyone anything to make a game in this setting.

Ghoest	Posted - 2006.08.08 21:40:00 - [29] Dune is poorly suited to being an MMO much like Star Wars was. The general setting is cool sure, but you get 90% of the players expecting to be Miles Teg or Luke Skywalker. Of course either they leave upset or you diminish the what made the original story cool by making it common in your universe. Wherever you went - here you are.
Jason Marshall Hammer Of Light	Posted - 2006.08.08 21:48:00 - [30] IN BEFORE THE FAT FU...HIPPO KING. Yes im all with SHikaris post about just because its set in 'x universe' if the game sucks then no one would play it....it be a great marketing tool tho, i think thats why WoW took off so quickly, becuase Warcraft was one of the first RTS/RPG out there, and a damn fine one at that. Tacky lens flares in sigs 4tw!
Guillame Herschel	Posted - 2006.08.08 21:51:00 - [31] Originally by: Avon The real problem with that is, no matter how great the game, it will never be able to realise Dune fan's expectations. Mostly because the fan's expectations exceeds the source material's actual merit. Dune MMO = Boring spice grind just like the novels.

StiZum Hilidii Destructive Influence Band of Brothers	Posted - 2006.08.08 21:54:00 - [33] i personally would love to take the eve model and change the images so that we are in ww2 war ships would be alot of fun. FREE PERSON OF EARTH AGAINST EVE IN COMMUNIST CHINA
Matthew Caldari BloodStar Technologies	Posted - 2006.08.08 21:58:00 - [34] One reason why Dune combat would never suit a game like this: Shield-Lasgun interaction. For those that don't know, in the Dune universe, when a shield gets shot with a lasgun, it's like setting off a nuke. Frig with lasgun becomes the ultimate griefing tool against any ship with a shield. ------- There is no magic Wand of Fixing, and it is not powered by forum whines.
Tachy	Posted - 2006.08.09 07:41:00 - [35] ccp doesn't do no storyline in EVE. Do you think there'd be a change when they pay fees for using the Dune setting? You can change the ship and station models on your harddrive, breaking the EULA. Maybe there'd be an easier way for you to get the Dune optics if ccp worked together with the Dune rights owners and offered skins? --==*-- Even with nougat, you can have a perfect moment.

D'Mur Pilru	Posted - 2006.08.09 09:34:00 - [37] The Guild Navigators wholehearted support this proposal... "The spice must flow"
Vanlade Amarr Imperial Academy	Posted - 2006.08.09 16:23:00 - [38] Surely if CCP really wanted to do that, then they could. But why? We already have EvE growing and expanding non-stop, evolving with one major expansion every year. Why start a whole new game? CCP is not about pumping games one after another, then the mentality "I've done that game, now what's next". This is not EA. I am looking forward to see EvE around and bigger then even in 10 years. Let CCP continue to grow EvE, instead of starting something else. - Vanlade
Ga'len The Untouchable Allegiance	Posted - 2006.08.09 17:42:00 - [39] It would be cool, but the problem is that games based on SciFi movies just have the distinct problem of never being able to realise what the players want to play. SOE and SWG is a classic example. Most games like SWG and Matrix online are marketing inspired creations. EVE is an original game. Inspired by many things, but it's an original title. Marketing came after the game was created, the game wasn't created as a marketing tool. -----------
Hali Ekel	Posted - 2006.08.10 02:28:00 - [40] how about the Pandora trilogy since we`re talking about Frank Herbert ? :)
Kybane Atreides Veritas Immortalis	Posted - 2006.08.10 03:29:00 - [41] DUNE FANS ARE TEH LAME!!! (for the people with no sense of humor look at my name...)
Phoenix Lord The Arrow Project The ARR0W Project	Posted - 2006.08.10 03:37:00 - [42] buying the rights to Dune would probably cost way too much.. Since Dune belonged to Westwood (i think..) and then WS was bought by EA. And EA sure as hell isnt cheap.. (is hippoking dead or something?) ---------------- Meet... bunneh:

I'm sure JMS would be open to ideas as all his new series seem to get canned (Crusade and Legend of the Rangers). Or Firefly for that matter, altho I'm not sure how good an MMO that would make.

Rafein Eye of God Axiom Empire	Posted - 2006.08.10 08:24:00 - [44] there was one in the works a few years back, a French Company, if I recall correctly. But I really didn;t keep an eye on it.
