If anyone has an autographed copy of the game, for either 360 or PS3 and is willing to part with it please let me know, in the mean time I’ll be watching eBay. The PS3 version of the CE is essentially the same, and I suspect the PAL versions are also similar but with different case art and without the Anime disc. As usual the nice artbook thrown in by Gamestop made the bonus price pill a little easier to swallow but I would have received that even if I pre-ordered the regular version and unlike Assassin’s Creed the DMC4 case really doesn’t give me any place to put the Anime DVD or the artbook. I realize they consider the Anime disc worth $25 but anyone who shops around could find it new for under $15 and that’s with a full real case. Had this been priced at the normal $69.99 for a CE I would say it’s above average but they charged a whole extra $20 over the regular edition. It’s your basic steel book case with an extra DVDs worth of content, and then the first disc of the animated series comes in a bi-fold cardboard slip cover that is simply shoved under main cases plastic slip cover. Overall I must say I’m a bit disappointed with it. Unfortunately I was not one of the lucky ones who got an autographed copy. Since it was a pre-order through Gamestop I also received a nice art book as a bonus. We’ll hopefully hear more about how Funcom intends to develop the series as progress on the movie and games progress.I picked up my NTSC copy of Devil May Cry 4 Collector’s Edition for Xbox 360 today. This brought together features such as the fog of war, military micromanagement, resource management and base-building gameplay that no decent RTS game should be without. In 1992, Westwood Studios created Dune II which quickly became the template for Real-Time Strategy games which inspired the Command and Conquer series. To work on Dune games is a dream come true for many of us in Funcom.”ĭune has major history in the video game world as well. “Dune is one of the world’s best-known science fiction universes and a personal favourite of mine. “We are very excited to announce an exclusive gaming partnership with Legendary Entertainment to develop a line of video games based on the works of Frank Herbert’s Dune,” Casais said. In a press statement release yesterday, Funcom’s CEO Rui Carsais announced a partnership with Legendary Entertainment for a 6 year contract for a minimum of 3 games on pc and console, one of which to be an “open world multiplayer” game that will begin pre-production later this year. With a new film underway and legions of fans, Frank Herbert’s Dune series is prime for a new video game adaptation, and what better developer to bring it than Funcom, developers of The Secret World, Age of Conan/Conan Exiles, and publisher of last year’s Mutant: Year Zero.
