Unreal Tournament 4?

We can only hope so.

Yep, the PAX panel yesterday was indeed one big spoon of good news. Epic Games working on a PC title and after that asked about a "Bulletstorm sequel ?" - "People Can Fly are currently working on different title, so we don't know, but the title however has them pretty hyped and excited" ... good news all around.

UT2004 drove people nuts (myself included) because it was frenetic, the weapons were very well balanced and could be combined to get very different playstyles, and the agility of characters allowed players to pull off insane amounts of juggling.

The game itself wasn't too bad, but it was a huge downgrade from UT2004. Taking example from the increasingly popular console shooters, Epic made characters move much slower and focused more on aim alone. As a result of this the weapons and maps had to be changed to maintain balance, and there went most of what made the game.

In short, Epic thought PC gamers were fine with a console game, but we weren't.

When PC gamers told them, Epic took it as a personal affront and, well, cut support for the game.

forget unreal tournament give us just unreal 4

I would absolutely love an UT4. UT3 was awesome. Too bad other people for some reason didn't think so, and thus didn't play the game, making it hard to find fun games. The thing I liked the most about UT3 was that it felt like a really good looking UT99. UT04 felt so slow and floaty.

All they had to do...was make UT2004 in UE3. And they messed that up. I'm not sure if Epic can really make a good PC game anymore. Anyway, I don't want to get my hopes up from speculations...

Remake 2004 with the samaritan demo visuals and we'll be just peachy, Epic :)

Agreed! UT 2004 kicked so much ass. I just recently reinstalled UT3 just to give it another try, and I gotta say, it's definitely fun, but, like others have stated, the slower movement, lack of high jumps and wall bouncing makes it feel like a totally different game. Also, I had completely forgot what pissed me off most of UT3 when I first got it. After picking up my pre-ordered copy, I drove home frantically, barely able to stand the wait until I could start up an instagib match on a new graphically-enhanced version of the best UT map ever. Morpheus. Alas... no morpheus. I seriously thought about seeing if gamestop would take a return.

I like the fast pace sometimes. I play the hell out of some regular UT2004, but sometimes I just really like the carnage of having 20 or so bots in a relatively small map, with quad jump, extra low gravity, air control, and zoom instagib. Anyway, the real point was that Morpheus was my favorite UT map, and UT3 didn't get an upgraded version of it, as it totally should have.

Yeah, I gotta also say, for whatever faults it does have, I haven't encountered a single bug of any kind in UT3. A pretty much flawlessly polished game.

My guess is that Epic is making a F2P Unreal Tounry game right now.

I wonder how long it will actually remain "PC exclusive"...6 months?

Some market analyst will convince Epic of all the "possible profits" from putting it on consoles. They will then start "co-developing" it for the consoles. They will then realize this is impossible because you HAVE to design around the weakest link (consoles). They will finally just admit they are primarily designing it for consoles and then port it to PC in which a repeat of UT3 will occur. Sales will be poor as PC gamers refused to eat up a crappy console port in massive quantities, leading Epic to swear of PC gamers forever...

I wish I was joking, but look at Id and Crytek.

/cry

It's probably a f2p fps.murekkep

I'd prefer a remake of the original Unreal. It would look wicked sick on their latest engine.

unless maybe I played with yz50http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n93m0SiDVSE

but I have played CA with him, I didn let him out rail me, but that was a while ago. All he does now is go sit in a duel server just practicing with his friend for hrs.

I think the game was just to slow. It had some awesome ideas; for example the slow mo cube thing and some of the maps were alright size wise. However some where too big for the weapons. What I mean is that for example in deck the rocket launcher is way to slow and at long distances the shock rifle is a nightmare to defend against. The characters felt like they were 4ft tall with lead shoes. It was cool in some parts but the movement was way to slow and tbh I would like to see the game add a sprint function perhaps and sliding. Maybe a slight mirrors edge about it in places, although for the juggernaughts that might look a bit stupid :P. However Id love to see spieces perks like unreal championship. Just to give some meaning for choosing a different character.

My guess is that Epic is making a F2P Unreal Tounry game right now.

I was a hardcore UT99 player back in the day, and I felt tha UT3 was almost perfect. It felt much more "unreal" to me than UT2003 or 04.

Knowing the industry these days I wouldn't be surprised if UT4 turns out to be F2P and requires you to buy each weapon to use it in the game. I can seriously see Epic destroying the franchise like that.gameguy6700
