Dune 2000 for windows 10 64 bit professional#
I expect the professional reviewers felt it would be fixed before release or not worth spending the time over. From what I can gather this is not due to an error on modern computers - I found one user review from much closer to the time ( 2003 to be exact) that mentioned it too. It's a hasty fix that has the unfortunate effect of making every sentence end with a long, awkward pause. From what I've played so far, no other cutscenes suffer from this and the PS2 port attempted to fix it by slowing down the video but not the audio. As such, the voice over will carry on and overlap the beginning of the next sentence. Dialogue has obviously been programmed to coincide with an on-screen action but it hasn't been calibrated to actually fit. While these tiresome story beats are commendably portrayed using the in-game engine, the timing and editing is all off. You can tell something is off from the very first cutscene.

The PC version's "Exit Game" option won't work. It remains a broken, almost unplayable mess - to the point where they couldn't even spell the author's name right on the title screen. It doesn't seem like anything was done in those extra five months beyond cajoling Dreamcatcher Interactive into handling some of the distribution. Europe also got a PlayStation 2 port at the same time. While it came out on PC in some European territories in November 2001, other countries, including those in the English speaking world would have to wait until April 2002. So far, it's the best there is (that is until Denis Villeneuve gives us his inevitably awesome take) but I cannot forgive it for siring Frank Herbert's Dune, Cryo's broken attempt at a video game on PC and PlayStation 2.ĭeveloped by Widescreen Games under the guidance of Cyro's publishing division, Dune would ultimately be the last ever game from that notorious French studio. After David Lynch's underwhelming adaptation, the SyFy channel brought it to the small screen in the early 2000s with a small budget to match. Alejandro Jodorowsky's early treatment from the 70s became a legend in its own right and even inspired the likes of Star Wars and Alien. There was a time when Dune could've been a behemoth of a franchise.
