Well this game has been hotting up in the old PR department, however to me I cant help thinking that its just going to be another C&C/Red Alert clone, same crap different setting.

Sure the first one of both were awesome, however cashing in on that success with some less than great games that claimed to be whole new engines when the reality was my grandmother could have made them better. The units continued to be exactly the same or close enough, offering no difference in gameplay at all...

Anyway, according to Dune3.com Emperor: Battle for Dune should be out around June this year, I think Westwood have some idea that this is basicly the cruncher, stuff it up and lose a large percentage of that fan base.

I checked out some of the screenshots on dune3.com, I couldnt help but thinking that this game looks alot like Dark Reign2, slightly nicer graphics, but they have had longer to work on them.

Anyway check out Dune3.com and see what you think.

i just couldn't help thinking

I'm hoping it rocks, cause I love the Dune saga. Its such a rich world with so much cool stuff to draw upon :) There was a movie for the game on the Red Alert 2 cds, dunno if you can download it or not from the website, but the final scene in the movie is a truly enormous sandworm bursting up from the ground, a must see!
