god damn it, pixel art is so much better looking than 3d models that it is ridiculous sometimes. I feel like we as a species are evolving into the wrong local minima wrt to computer graphics.
I know the second is the groundbreaking one, but I always had a soft spot for this one.
And while Dune 2 laid much of the initial groundwork for early real-time strategy games, I highly advise anyone from current times who is interested to play Dune 2000 instead. If you ask me, the original Command and Conquer (same developers, Westwood) is the actual genesis of the modern RTS, and Dune 2000 is built on the Command and Conquer engine and is this significantly less clunky and irritating to actually play.
And it’s got John Rhys-Davies in the cutscenes. You can’t really go wrong there.
Agreed Dune 2000 is a better experience with better quality of life mechanics but Dune 2 was definitely the actual genesis of modern rts, compared to C&C. All amazing games. Dune 2, for its time, but it’s definitely aged at this point I’m with you there.
