Why is the logo from the new Dune adaptation but the sandworm looks like it's from the David Lynch version?

Marketing and artwork

I think they're rationalizing it by saying that's a juvenile sandworm. The larger one with the round mouth is fully grown.

They probably just wanted a design difference between a smaller human scale threat and the massive ones that eat entire structures like spice harvesters.

Looked cool until it said MMO. I'm sure lots of people will like it.

[–] DaseinPickle@leminal.space 3 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I feel the same way. MMOs is just way too time consuming. And I feel like there is always some pressure to keep up. I already got that covered by work. Give me a small scale coop I can play with a couple of friends.

[–] BallShapedMan@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Exactly! Then we can play when we want and how we want!

[–] WarmSoda@lemm.ee 3 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (1 children)

You can play thier current mmo that way. You can even play it offline. If this game is like that then it's not something to be worried about.

Good to know!

[–] Boingboing@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago

Funcom have a habit of having good ideas and not following through on them. The Secret World is the first time I encountered them. And to be fair the game has a story that I find really intriguing. It is a shame such a fun story is locked behind an mmo when as a single player experience it could be so, so much more.
