If I had to pick a game to be remastered, Emperor would be it. Relatively modern, has the big sandworm, sub-factions, lore, cheesy FMV, etc. Still, it was the best Dune-themed RTS imo. Dune 2000 is a remake of Dune 2 with new. I’ve tried running it in a VirtualBox running XP, and still can’t manage to get it to work without errors. Dune 2000 is a real time strategy game released in 1998 co-developed by Westwood Studios and Intelligent Games. It will also likely not run on Win10 either, unless you try something hacky with wrappers like dgVoodoo. The license to use Dune IP didn’t transfer to EA, so no sequels or remakes or remastered versions of any sort are likely to surface.Įmperor was also well-known for technical problems, simply not running, performance issues, etc. The caveat with Emperor: Battle for Dune is that, I think the game was released during the transitional period when Westwood was being gobbled up by EA to become EA Los Angeles, and the latter studio was also shut down by EA, so the game wasn’t really maintained. I also don’t much care for old titles like Dune 2 or Dune 2000 either, having been too spoiled by the polished modern RTS experiences offered by the likes of StarCraft 2. I think? But again, not RTS.Įmperor: Battle for Dune probably fits the bill for the most modern iteration of an RTS set in Dune universe. Considering that these people tend to be a bit sue-happy, I’m guessing mod community isn’t too eager to give it a crack. Desert theme aside, the actual Dune IP is owned by a motion picture company, who had historically licensed the rights to game developers. I’m also a fan, and I’ve also searched far and wide for mods, indie games, anything really, that has a desert or Dune-theme. While Dune II was a totally distinct story to that of Dune, and Dune 2000 was a remake of Dune II, Emperor is a direct sequel to the previous games.

I 've first played Dune II after having got used to more modern RTS games (Warcraft 1, 2, Starcraft, C&C), but I got comfortable with keyboard shortcuts and lack of multiple-unit selection pretty quickly. So you go from playing even TD with only using the mouse to having to leanr a whole bunch of buttons. Now, I would like to play the game, but having to click a button and click for select, another button and 'm' for move, and finally 'a' and click for attack, becomes really tedious.
