Children of Dune seems to capture the feeling of being so loving high and trying to navigate a life and death situation, and then getting distracted playing with wild animals.

This thread inspired me to try and install Emperor: Battle for Dune. Edit: For some reason it is now working perfectly. Maybe with the new movie coming out we will get some more games. Does anyone even make big name RTS's anymore? AFewBricksShy fucked around with this message at 13:53 on Mar 5, 2019 |

The RTS genre has always seemed a bit fragmented as it is. What's distinct about the Dune/C&C style exactly?

Ghost Leviathan posted:The RTS genre has always seemed a bit fragmented as it is. What's distinct about the Dune/C&C style exactly? The best answer I can give is "I'll know when I see it", because there are RTS games which come close (Ground Control and others) and even ones that are so close that only the most amount of pedantry set them apart (Total/Supreme Commander springs to mind) - and it's not like I won't play the games that aren't exactly like Westwoods masterpieces, it's just that nothing comes close to Westwoods perfection.

D. Ebdrup posted:The factors I look for are generally: un-even tech trees for each faction, both micro- and macro-management, isometric view (though it can be fully 3D), resource gathering - basically, all the things in Dune 2. Starcraft II?

I always thought C&C and presumably Dune were distinct by having somewhat more active resource gathering, at least compared to units just going back and forth harvesting static resources, with the crawler thingies and all. (and Tiberium being both a Spice analogue and a handy explanation as to how you're building all this stuff at a moment's notice, because there's a miracle mineral growing out of the ground that's fuelling a terrorist group) I also got the impression that Total Annihilation and Supreme Commander mix things up a bit by having an absurdly large scale and heavy automation, with some aspects closer to 4x gamse, see also Sins of a Solar Empire. I've mostly only played Starcraft and Age of Empires I and II, badly.

Total Annihilation is great because any game played long enough ends with a cold war nuclear standoff.

Does anyone actually know whether Funcom are developing a game or just licensing for publishing the new Dune MMO? If it's the latter, maybe they can license Dune as an RTS and get Petroglyph to develop it? SpaceGoatFarts posted:Starcraft II?

Yeah, Total Annihilation is quite different because of the exponential economy. Starcraft and C&C tend to be a lot more constrained.

Makes me wonder where Age of Empires falls in here. Resources are usually relatively plentiful, but there's more variety of them and you need different kinds for different units and buildings, factions have the same units and tech trees with tactical and cosmetic variants, and a lot of diversity in tactics becomes available at higher points in the tech tree. (does remind me that the Zerg in Starcraft basically have an equivalent to Age advancement unique to them, where the home building takes an expensive and lengthy upgrade to unlock new units and buildings) Warcraft 1 and 2 are similar, iirc.

The verb-space for dune is very large, I can imagine a bunch of different genres being appropriate A breath of the wild thing with star ports, A grand strategy type thing alà crusader kings Honestly a well made point and click adventure might be a great game Dunno, just it seems like so ripe for so much.

Try Grey Goo, it was pretty fun and was explicitly intended to be a closer-to-c&c-than-Starcraft RTS

Speaking of Grey Goo, an awesome goon had Forged Battalion from a Humble Bundle, which they gifted to me - so I've been playing it a fair bit and it feels like a really solid engine to build a C&C remaster on top of, since I can't imagine the voxels will care one bit about whether they're a-little-garishly-primary-colored or not. I'm still not entirely sure what to think about the upgrade system in FB, though - but if Petroglyph wants to, they can definitely do justice to Command & Conquer with a modern-day remaster.

Westwood wanted to have three sides, they took a throwaway lore reference in the encyclopedia, took the Lynch guildsmen, and house ix, and spun something out of whole cloth befitting a decent third faction in their RTS i know that ix is ALSO in the games but like seriously, ordos are just ix+lynch guildsmen
