As per the title, EPIC has just announced they are starting development on Unreal Tournament 2014 which will be released for free once complete! Some details meeting at the below for those interested; http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2014/05/08/unreal-tournament-2014/#more-206097 https://wiki.unrealengine.com/Unreal_Tournament
It's interesting to see this happen, in a very good way. Their new subscription model for the UE4 devkit will definitely make them a hell of a lot of money as will the generated content from that. Still, UT was always a blast. Chaos UT for the original was something special, especially the frikkin alternative to the flak cannon. Damn those bouncing little *******s!
It's going to be good to play CTF-Face again Headshot! Edit: Couldn't resist, installed UT99 again and played a few matches against bots. Good times!
I'm going to do the same tonight if I can fit it in! HEADSHOT! Ah yes, fond memories! I actually loved the UT and Unreal story as well. There's something epically futuristic and apocalyptic about it that appeals to the Sci-Fi fan in me. Even hearing the words 'Liandri Corporation' brings back memories of playing the first Unreal games as a kid
Never played a UT before Spoiler Sorry pc gaming gods! as I grew up on consoles.. But now i'm a PC guy, and i'm hearing about them more and more! Is it worth grabbing a copy? What're they like? And where from?!
Ignore UT3, forget UT2K3 (yes... there was that... it was like the Windows Vista of UTs) For once, I agree with Gunny on games.
2k3 was a******* love child of UT and quake, it worked quite well but had some poor level design. whats this "for once" ****?
hahaha I disagree with your opinion on games quite a bit. I just normally stay quiet, since I game so little these days that I am probably not entitled to an opinion by most peoples' standards.
UT and UT2004 had some of the best MP modes out there. If UT2014 fulfills its expectations regarding the legacy left by its parents, I think I will need an additional keyboard and mouse (I broke my mouse playing UT2004...ups).
I remember being able to play the UT2004 demo online, but you could only play 1 or 2 maps. It was amazing!
I played UT99 and 2k4 competitively for some of my best years - so I of course welcome the announcement. I just hope this community influence doesn't mean it will end up being Unreal ELITE EPIC BADASS TOURNAMENT 2014 WARFARE EDITION with extra killstreaks and kids.
who needs killstreaks ? the best part about getting a killstreak in Unreal Tournament has always been hearing the announcer shout out GODLIKE!!!!! but i do understand what you mean about all the generic ( read COD ) fanbois ruining this
