Hey guys, remember Dune?

Dune-Frank_Herbert_03.jpg

Cryo Interactive made a game out of it!

And a sequence where you have to travel on a sandworm for ages to find a place, listening to trippy music

I don't know about you folks, but I think that these video games are here to stay

    Speaking of hard-to-film sci-fi, someone (I think HBO?) is working on a Foundation series. I haven't heard anything about it in a year or two, though.

    HBO should do the culture, they can throw in tons of sexposition without deviating from the books to keep the attention of the viewers who don't know who these characters are but she has nice boobs ill keep watching

    they'd have to change up the space battles a ton from the books though, make em like galactica where the camera zooms all over the place

    It could work as a set of mini-series where you dump the whole cast every season or two and jump 300 years in the future, maybe? It would be really hard.

    @Mazzyx

    Okay, that makes sense about them not resetting MMR. It seemed down right weird how good everyone was. I've been in a lot of FPS game launches before, including ones with open betas, and never seen people that good on day 1 before.

    That was a blast. I got DCed partway through because I had the temerity to use the bathroom, and the AFK timer is really tight.

    There is so much internal dialogue and incredibly complex religious/spirit/anthropology stuff in Dune that I highly doubt it will ever be able to be faithfully recapitulated in a visual medium.
