Dune: Awakening

[mrk]

This does not look very next gen nor that fun, also looks low framerate :S

I'm still interested in it but they have a lot to prove yet. There's tons of videos and info out now from people that have played it. Dev chats etc.

The character creator and benchmark released today on Steam, Pretty damn smooth. The character creator will let you play the character you make in the full game.

Pre-purchase Dune: Awakening on Steam

Rise from survival to greatness and challenge the power of an Imperium in Dune: Awakening, a multiplayer survival game on a massive scale. Survive the sandworm, craft your ornithopter, build a fortress, and ascend to power on an open world Arrakis shared with hundreds of other players.

Looks to run really well (not using the newest nvidia driver which apparently adds support) but badly needs hardware ray tracing or/and ray reconstruction, iirc, is a nvidia sponsored title so may well come with official launch

Character creator had more options that I was expecting it to have.

No SP no buy.

No SP no buy.

Well it's an MMO so I wouldn't expect there to be traditional single player

The devs in one of their last streams did say you can play it on your own though but end game PvE will require a group.

 

[Nexus18]

Very much looking forward to this. The benchmark ran a lot better than I expected.

It seems to be an old school MMO. Non private Server based(like wow), drop your inventory on death, and pvp in the areas of the richest rarest resources.

I'm really liking the look of this. I've really grown fond of survival crafting games so I hope this does it for me

 

[baritonejohann]

reservedly excited about this. hope it delivers. though i had similar hopes for the bene gesserit series and that was a pile of bunk.

 

[Efour]

It's weird these days I play garbage games and watch YouTube creators playing new stuff, well and old stuff like sc2.
I hope there's a few guys trying this.

All I can say without going into any detail is disappointed.

No first person view, which is a must for me, have fed it back along with others and its staying 3rd person only, which I found clunky as hell when building which is a big part of the game to me.

Coming from a long time player of Conan, Ark and Atlas

Disappointed to hear that too, but still interested to see the final release, not a fan of clunky though, urgh.

Looks like a re-skin of their old Conan game to me.

 

[Cantankerous]

The combat gives me real SW:TOR vibes.

I see they're offering a week of early access which for a world pvp game doesn't seem great.

 

[Datamonkey]

Just to add, on my last play melee combat is also clunky

For me, this had so much potential, but falls short, no first person view for building (as mentioned before) and the melee combat is also very clunky. Just feels disconnected and not a great experience. Ranged combat with weapons was fine, very much a gears of war type experience, over the shoulder camera which is switchable.

I wont be buying release, However if anyone comes back with an update on the above I may reconsider it

 

[B@Th*nG]

hmmm looks interesting.. i've never really done an MMO. maybe this will be it..

 

[Dicehunter]

Woot, Made it into the closed beta
