Full-Motion cutscene from Westwood Studio's Emperor: Battle For Dune.

Lady Elara, the Bene Gesseritt concubine and assassin of Emperor Shaddam Corrino IV, has been captured for questioning on the Sardaukar world of Selusa Secundus. The War on Arrakis is about to begin, and only a certain few know of Elara's reasoning behind the Emperor's death. A Reverend Mother has been dispatched to perform the interrogation, but Elara knows something is amiss because the interrogator hasn't been sent by the Sisterhood.

  • i have the opposite opinion. i thought she was brilliant. she seems to hold up a facade which she cannot.

    she puts on the atmosphere that dominates the entire game thickly. she strongly overacts, but so do all the actors in the game. they were clearly instructed to.

    unless she is not acting someone that's putting up an act. in which case she would have sucked.

  • Yeah. By the time this game was made, Westwood Studios knew it wouldn't be around for long. According to the First Decade Bonus DVD, they wanted to have a lot of fun with Red Alert 2 and Yuri's Revenge. Since this game came after Red Alert 2 (I think) then they'd definitely want to have fun with the last of their Dune franchise. Personally, I find the overacting to give it a certain flair.

  • Word. Red Alert 3 doesn't even come close the feeling of the older games. :/

  • The acting in these cutscenes were indeed bad but I much rather watch these corny movies than the movies from Red Alert 3.

see all

  • @Nederbird Almost all modern sequels :(

  • What does Elara say after RM says "perhaps you are the one"?

  • For these games the actors only have mere minutes to convey personality, emotion, drama, etc., so they have to overact in order to deliver as big of an impact as quick as possible for these cut scenes. I think these guys for this game did an admirable job, and it is clear that this is heavily based upon the David Lynch 1984 movie which was a brilliant envisioning of Dune.

  • "Dere are dess and DERE ARE DESS"

    lol

  • So, if Elara really drank the water of life , she must be a reverend mother too  because she lives, right? As far as I remember, drinking the water leades to two things only - either gaining the memories of her female ancestors (which is simply becoming a reverend mother) or dying. So why is this old bitch behaving like Elara has a rank that's lower than hers?

  • nice use of annotations =)

  • Lmao at "Awesome Lego Fortresses"

  • "There are desks, and there are desks!"

    Hahhaha, I couldn't stop laughing for several minutes. I love the onscreen comments you added to these vids Smithdanger, it's a treat to watch these again, thanks!

  • Yeah, I really liked Nicholas Worth's role in those. ^^

    Too bad he's dead now. :(

  • Red Alert 2 and Yuri's Revenge had some very campy cutscenes as well
