squirtle Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 Hey man, this is the bit where I get everyone to eat crow for all my predictions coming true, don't take that away from me. Did you see that thing about how there's one-third the AAA games in development? Rising cost of games baby! That's some real pyrrhic victory shit, right there. Congratulations.

xibxang Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 It's PC only I take it? Mac too. I heard another platform which I couldn't make out but I'd assume it'll be linux. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Nasty Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 Original UT was the first ever game I played online, 233mhz desktop G3 Mac over a 56k modem. I can still remember my favourite maps, especially Deck 16, like it was yesterday. Loading the rocket launcher's alt fire and aiming it into spawn points, firing the flak cannon around corners, the sniper platform that overlooked the entire arena, the guided nuke, an absolutely classic level and there were loads more. UT is/was at its best stripped down and clutter free. Just give us brilliantly designed maps and weapons, get CTF and TDM/DM right and we're good to go. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harsin Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 I think the world has collectively made a polite agreement to try and forget that that one that came out on 360/PS3 and PC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RubberJohnny Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 It launched on something like Christmas Eve on PS3, which basically doomed it. They made so many bad decisions with that game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xibxang Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 I'm really hoping that they leave vehicles out of it this time. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarloOos Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 Yeah, they were amazing back in 2004 when pretty much only Halo and Battlefield 1942 had ever attempted them on that scale, but these days it's more of a novelty just to be a straight-forward arena shooter. Maybe if they brought back that mission objective-based mode (which I doubt), Assault was it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taurusnipple Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 LOVED UT99 but I'd have been happy with a marketplace update really. A new UT would need wall running. This coming from fast paced Titanfall games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nespresso Posted May 8, 2014 Author Share Posted May 8, 2014 Wow just got home and read the news. Couldn't be more 'dehyped'. Not only because this is years away from release (2016 by the earliest it seems) but also by the fact that it's not even a proper UT game. Meh. I hope they can prove me wrong but I'm not holding my breath. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeanR Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 I think 2016 might be the year I build a new PC... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DocG Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 Loved UT99, 2k3, 2k4, and UT3 to bits. UT3 remains the most fun I had on Xbox Live, and one of only a couple of games I bought three times (PS3, then 360, then PC). So many things to love, like low-grav instagib or Deck-16 or Morpheus or... I'm really hoping that they leave vehicles out of it this time.What?! The vehicles in UT3 were amazing. The hoverbike thing, with its drive-by decapitation ability. VEHICULAR MANSLAUGHTER. The big mortar gun thing you had to stop so you could deploy the massive turret. The two-player tank. But best of all, the huge alien tripod walker thing with its deathray of doom. Incredible scenes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retroid Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 Onslaught in UT2004 was *the* greatest mutiplayer mode ever made, hopefully this'll be structured more like that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Nasty Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 Been playing UT99 all weekend. This game is still the daddy and the best in the series for me. It has just the right balance of mayhem and tactics, brilliant weapon design and memorable maps - revisiting some of these maps for the first time since the late 90s was a massive nostalgia kick. Deck 16 is as good as I remember especially camping on the elevated platform with a sniper rifle. Bliss. This combo of map + mutator has been particularly entertaining: So good to be playing this again, dunno why I ever stopped. Is there any interest in getting some forum games going? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocG Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 Lowgrav instagib for the win, for sure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meh Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 Unreal Fighting Game? Guilty Gear Xrd uses Unreal Engine 4 too, right? It looks beautiful, too. Nope, that's trusty ol' UE3, amazingly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FargalEX Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 Download here. Art here. Was going a bit mental looking at that concept art for a minute there, wording's a bit misleading on that article as it turns out those were submissions for some competition they're running and not official artwork. Thank Christ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nespresso Posted July 29, 2014 Author Share Posted July 29, 2014 The gods have deemed our mortal souls worthy of an Unreal Tournament update. Rejoice for it is 50 minutes worth of... updating (let us hope there's some worthwhile content shown).

Nespresso Posted September 18, 2015 Author Share Posted September 18, 2015 Looks decent enough I suppose and they even added in sliding and wall running it seems. Kind of lost interest for this though, especially now that Lawbreakers is a thing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
