Dune: Awakening - The First Preview

Whether it was the impressively detailed character creation options, the intricate RPG systems filled with skill trees and craftables, or the absolute insanity of trying to outrun a Shai-Hulud or escape a massive sandstorm, Dune: Awakening appears to be on track to become the sci-fi survival game we’ve always dreamt of, and we cannot wait to get our hands on it.

No mindless numbskulls are the real killer. Games are very predictable which ones are gonna be great and which ones aren't. This just hasn't shown any gameplay so very sketchy

[@propane593]

None of these previews have really shown any gameplay

[@N1ON-17]

3:00 but I’m still very sceptical

[@csahaas]

Some have, just cinematic gameplay where the UI and stuff is turned off. The game isnt fully polished yet so if they just show everything people are going to get angry over how it looks. also this isnt a gameplay trailer, its a review of a preview.

Other preview commenters have mentioned that melee combat is in the game. Some of the animations looked stiff but acceptable.

The amount of guns is concerning tho, didn't see any hand-to-hand combat at all.

[@vindex57]

They use reaaally slow bullets. Or they just like nuclear explosions from shields.

[@Phroge-o1w]

It's possible guns might be used since shields attract sandworms,(at least in the books) still worried about the lack of melee though

[@dizydeus]

They explained you won't be able to shoot shields, came up with lore reason that guns have a safety feature, preventing the nuclear reactions.

No worm riding, No sandwalk, No hand to hand combat with close up knife and sword executions. No desert bike shootouts, No traversal parkour during gunfights. The main protagonist literally has one expression throughout the whole trailer. There is still so much work that needs to go into this game.

It's a survival game. Not a story game. There is no protagonist. It's multiplayer.
