Unreal Tournament 2004 footage

Advertisement (Why?)

Tycho from Unreal Ops sends word to tell us that there's footage of Unreal Tournament 2004 on E3 Insider.

Beyond Unreal also has this comment from Mark Rein:

Sorry I have not been able to visit the forum sooner but we've been extremely busy showing off UT2004 during the day and then meeting with licensees and potential licensees at night.

The reception to UT2004 has been great which is especially gratifying considering how early everything is. There are so many cool things going into UT2004 that aren't in showable shape yet. But regardless of that people are really liking the parts they're seeing and we know they're going to be even more delighted in a few months when everything comes together.

I see many of you are discussing the topic of UT2004 pricing. Atari has not yet set the retail price of UT2004 however they have told us that all along they've been planning to have some sort of deal for existing UT2003 owners who buy UT2004. The game is still many months away so there's plenty of time to figure this out and let people know.

I have guests here in my suite and I need to get back to them now. I'll try (no promises) to post more tonight and possibly get on IRC again sometime in the next few hours to answer peoples' questions.

- ReadmeNOW.txt (this file)

Installation

- After clicking next twice, browse to your installed Grand Theft Auto: Vice City directory (the directory where GTA-VC.EXE resides) and click next.

it looks pretty cool but i cant afford to buy another ut they should have an addon pack free to download for the owners of ut2k3

#2 CheeseCow on 17 May 2003 - 10:40

I hope they have gotten enough time to work on it, so that it will be fun even if you've played UT2k3 a lot. I won't buy the game if there is little new.

Sorry. I just don't like single-word comments that don't have any good explanation to them.

#4 Admiral50 on 17 May 2003 - 10:46

Didn't they recently say that we wouldn't have to pay for anything UT for the next 18 months?

#5 longwilli on 17 May 2003 - 11:55

they are gunna attenpt to take ID's online crown and for the first time i belive they could do it (if it true that doom 3 has no multiplayer as reported) this game does look good and they have even taken avantage of cars and planes. it will be interesting to see what happens in the comming months with doom 3 and ut2004

#6 DigitalResource on 17 May 2003 - 12:42

It will be cheaper for people wiho bought UT 2003, how theyre gonna check this, I'm not sure. maybe a cd key or something?

Talk about a crappy "exclusive sneak peak." Hahaha, loser of a host. Pretty much a big waste of my time. [EDIT]Boy do I regret typing that![/EDIT]

[neoquote=#8.0 by Jstphish]Talk about a crappy "exclusive sneak peak." Hahaha, loser of a host. Pretty much a big waste of my time.[/neoquote] like writing that post as well, eh?

#8.2 Solarix on 17 May 2003 - 23:56

he has to get his post count up some how

#8.3 Jstphish on 18 May 2003 - 16:41

Yeah, like my post count boosts my self esteem (even if it did it wouldn't be very high seeing how I only post on average 1 post a day). You see I read more than I write. Ok, maybe I shouldn't have said the host was a "loser." Maybe "annoying" would have been the right words. Any maybe I shouldn't have said it was a "big waste of my time" because in all actuality it wasn't. It did give me some insight into what they are going to do next. Therefore, I should have said, [i]"I believe this add-on will be hardly worth the time to download unless there is more to it than they have shown. Also, what an annoying host."[/i]

#10 kairon on 17 May 2003 - 19:02

Wow, cool, those vehicles look extremely nice. Onslaught sounds like a great mode! Now you can have Tribes vehicle-ism (The only thing I liked about Tribes 2) and UT ownage come together for a huge fragfest

that looks extremely stupid.

#12 Briandl79 on 17 May 2003 - 22:56

A lot of games seem to remind me of Halo lately....

#13 ShoeHornOPlenty on 17 May 2003 - 23:41

Im sorry but after seeing Half-Life 2 in all its glory, this, Doom 3 (face it folks, its an engine with a single player campaign you get to play) and any other game coming out this year just doesnt do it for me. This is just an attempt to milk the cow like most sports franchises do each year. UT fanboys will eat this up though having vehicles, I'll just wait for HL2.

#14 INFERNO2k on 18 May 2003 - 00:14

Waste of time.

#15 hotrod on 18 May 2003 - 02:01

I'd do her......

I liked the first chapter where Pete Parsons of Bungie says, "I think first person shooters are about shooting things".

[U]For those of us who use gamepads, and I know there are few.[/U] [U]I hope this post isn't too harsh.[/U] I'm sorry, but what they really need to do is work on the gamepad support so I can actually play the game.

It isn't worth a dime to me unless I can use my gamepad, like in the quake series of games.... e.g. flawless moves, all at the same time with no conflict. I bought the first Original Unreal game only for it, (the game CD), to become a coaster for my drink! UT2003 has the same problems, glad I tried the demo first to find out! Oh sure, you can get a gamepad to work, but it definately doesn't jive, no matter how you change the settings. HL is the same story. I think Doom 3 will outsell UT because of Epic Games lack of attention to ALL of the details. It's more than just graphics! I'll keep trying the demos though, and hope that someday Epic will remember us gamepaders, cause I love the graphics!

gamepad?? whoa! i could never play a FPS with one.. i mean.. i played Quake1 with one for a while then found out.. that the limit must be hit.... .... MOUSE AND KEYBOARD your friend.. i actualy have the dreamcast mouse and keyboard just to play.... Quake 3 for DC!!!

#19.1 Jstphish on 18 May 2003 - 23:15

I agree, anyone who uses a gamepad to play a FPS is crazy. Mouse and Keyboard are your friends. It's so much easier to play with those two than it is with a gamepad. The only thing I use my gamepad for now is for playing old NES, SNES, Genesis and NeoGeo games on my comp.

#20 [X]rogue[X] on 19 May 2003 - 06:57

I hope they made it quicker. The main problem with UT2k3 was that it didnt feel like you were moving very fast but besides that it was a good game... pitty there were no online servers which have lots of people on them. I think the arena's look better in UT than Doom 3 tho which is a good sign. The model in Doom3 but are better that UT but who cares about models when all you want to do is frag em... a bit of blood and a texture or two and i am happy.

ut2k3 sucks, i waited and waited and waited, i payed $50 for something that let me down. although i'd gladly pay $25 at the most for an addon, but not a new UT, i'll download it this time.

I liked it.

#22 stncttr908 on 19 May 2003 - 12:00

Vehicles huh? I'm not sure, I think that they're straying away from the actual premise of the series now. I'm sure there are many new fps oriented modes they could have expanded on instead of going this route. Also, you'll probably have to send your UT2k3 UPC or something to get a rebate.
