It would appear that Epic and Atari have finally bucked up and put a official looking site up for thier Upcoming game UT2004. The sites HERE (http://www.infogrames.net/games/unreal_tournament_2004_pc_action/) but because i'm kind i'v copied what they had to say...
Reload, rev up and ride out. The new Tournament is faster, higher and meaner. Land and air based vehicles take combat to a new level; while an arsenal of new weaponry, daunting arenas and battlefields and the challenge of the Assault and Onslaught modes make the gladiator blood sport of the future a brand new experience. Buckle up; it’s gonna be one hell of a ride!
Game Features:
Land and air and space based vehicles – from lightweight attack craft to behemoth tanks
New weapons, including Mines, Rocket-propelled grenades, stationary gun turrets and more
New Arenas and battlefields – planet-bound mayhem and the cold vacuum of space
Assault mode returns – you asked for it…here it is!
The mighty Skaarj return as a playable race and prepare for the return of the ultimate opponent - Xan Kriegor
Demo recording – record something special and show others who’s got the skills
Onslaught mode – a brand new mode of play that takes warfare to the next level
New UI – clean, mean and lean. This new customizable User Interface gives you a clear picture on the body count.
Full support of software rendering for those with lower-end video cards or unreliable drivers
Live chat over LAN and Internet with 3D audio (on supported cards), using a microphone and headset (not included with game)
A wealth of new textures, static meshes and music – a field day for mod makers!
UnrealTV broadcast system – allows hundreds of people to log on and watch famous combatants or rival clans duke it out
UT2004 will ship over 20 brand new maps along with the original UT2003 maps and the official bonus pack maps. This will allow 2004 owners to jump into any 2003 server and compete!
Numerous tweaks and refinements including a completely redesigned user interface (UI) (including the ability for mod makers to design their own UI), unique crosshairs for each weapon, the ability to wield dual assault rifles, improved bot AI and optimized network bandwidth usage and much, much more
UGO Online have also posted a little about UT2004 and state a release date of around December 2003...
When Unreal Tournament 2 turned into Unreal Tournament 2003, it was an interesting take on sports franchise games like Madden, practically promising a yearly supplement to the popular FPS franchise. Well, it looks like they'll be following up on their promise, 'cause Unreal Tournament 2004 (UT2004) is already on the way, and it's looking great.
Because UT2004 is going to be at full-game prices (save for a rebate for those who purchased UT2003), the developers have made sure to include an absolute crap-load of content so that people get their money's worth. Along with all the bonus packs and patches already released for UT2003, 2004 will feature tons of new maps, models, options, graphics, tile sets and new gameplay modes.
The new gameplay modes are perhaps the most exciting, with Onslaught leading the pack. The mode will feature, for the first time in a UT game, controllable vehicles. The gameplay will actually be close to Battlefield 1942, in that you'll be capturing bases, thus gaining the ability to spawn there from then on. A few of the 7 vehicles planned include a Warthog-esque buggy with gunner position, a light skimmer ship, a slow but heavy tank, and a gunship that truly flies. The new modes will also feature new weapons, including Spider Mines, which will lay dormant until a nearby enemy activates it, causing the mine to latch on to the enemy and explode. Fun!
Unreal Tournament 2004 is due this Winter, when it's set to release, so we'll have to stick with regular ol' 2003 until then. But when this thing hits, don't expect to see us for a while.
