...Unreal tournament was my first FPS and my first Arena shooter.... (admittedly I played it by the time UT3 was out)... but thinking about UT4 coming out.... just... damn, this is going to be fun.

I just found this video. It's a E3 trailer for the PS2 version of the game, methinks. Not really sure since this apparently takes place in 2000 and none of the features in the video were present in the original game.

Would be neat if the original UT had massive displacement-like terrain like that.

Seems more like they were showcasing WIP engine features than the PS2 version of the game, and (some of) those features would work their way into the 2k3/4 engine.

Yeah that was basically a tech demo for UT2003 using UT99 as a base

Let's have some nostalgia going on in here before the announcement!

Fuck I have finals tomorrow but I'm not gonna sleep until I get to see what Epic has planned.

[Kelazun]

Don't get your hopes up.

PC/Mac/Linux only, Free, and they're starting to build it today.

[DaFreshLemon]

They are going to name it "Unreal Tournament" GOD WHY.

[Trooth]

I'm gonna stay really skeptical after UT3. I wasn't fond of Gears of War, so from my perspective, Epic basically hasn't made a good game in about 10 years.

At the very least, I hope UT4 isn't going to have the same chunky Gears of War aesthetic. All the characters built like bulldozers and generally indistinct from any sort of distance.

[booster]

Just name it Unreal Tournament 4. No one's going to care.

[GHOST!!!!]

Anyone else here like Unreal Championship 2?

[ClarkWasHere]

I trust the people behind this for naming it Unreal Tournament. They seem like people who actually closely relate to the original UT99 than the gears of war shite.

Hell, most of the devs that they showed on the stream worked on 99 and mentioned it more that UT07

[QUOTE=GHOST!!!!;44757223]Anyone else here like Unreal Championship 2?[/QUOTE]

I hadn't played it before, but the melee fighting looks pretty neat.

[BloodShot12]

Everybody quickly register on the forums and recommend they base the aesthetics and sound design on UT99.

We need the bulky enforcer with the beefy sound and heavy kick back

Still got my copy around here somewhere. Melee combat in that game was a blast.

[gk99]

Can we have UT99-styled weaponry?
I hated it when I went from 99 to 2k4, and despised it when I went from 2k4 to 3.

I generally prefer 2k4 over '99 in terms of movement and weapons, but I honestly think the Impact Hammer and Enforcer were hella better than the Shield Gun and Assault Rifle. Egh, that assault rifle is fucking useless against anyone with shield, and just plain terrible otherwise.

[Skerious]

Man, some of the remixes for some of these tracks are actually pretty good.

(If you're not a fan of that new sound at the beginning, just skip to 0:30)

I can't wait to see the new Deck 16.

Speaking of music and the new UT, seems the original composers for UT99 have posted on the Game's Development Forum.

Holy fuck

I know they won't have a SP like Unreal 1, but anybody else think they should have co-op maps against U1 monsters with simple story and a few objectives, kinda like monster hunt for UT99?

I would love to see a return of Monster Hunt and Invasion in the new UT.

[QUOTE=Steven Polge]Michiel,
Of course we would be thrilled to have you and Alex involved in this project! The music you guys made always invokes tremendous nostalgia for me - I'm always instantly transported back to playing UT. How are you interested in participating?

Fuck fuck fuck its really gonna happen

A little something I'm working on:

I'll also be helping out development, I think it'll be fun!

[CowThing]

I'm pretty excited for UT4. I wonder what the artstyle will be. Definitely needs to be something with more color than UT3.

[Grenadiac]

I hope the new UT plays like '99. From what I remember of the following installments, they didn't feel quite the same. At least the soundtrack is gonna kick ass.

Even today, UT99 never fails to excite me. The AI is still competitive and the gameplay is raw and fast, straight to the point, and the visuals are interesting and fun without overloading your eyes.

[BloodShot12]

If anybody remembers these

I'm resuming work on them. I'm not sure yet, but I may have found somebody willing to animate them and get them into UT2k4.

Here's the current WIP texture for the enforcer
