Unreal Tournament 2003 at i12 ??

[KermitTheFrag]

Ok here goes.

Regarding Unreal Tournament 2003 .... well apparently its released end of june, which gives us some time to sort out practise for i12.

Is this likely to *replace* Unreal Tournament in the near future seeing as its the next version?

If so, having just watched one of the vids, I really do need a GF4 ti 4400 for the nice smoke effects ;)

[TelexStar]

kermy, being a UT peon, do u know what game types atre available? ie is there one where you *don't* respawn in the same round?

[Jazza]

I believe the demo/test is due mid May, so maybe a few games at i11 :)

Err why. Those games suck.

Look at Counterstrike.

[Leviathan]

errr UT 2003 has lost its multiplayer mode and has been pushed back 2 xmas so it wont b at i12. I got this info from may PCG mag page 51.

Err that is b0ll0cks.

UT2003 is being released end of June and is MP only. I'd add 2 months to that worst case

UNREAL 2 has been pushed back from November to December.

More incompetant f'wits at PCG as per usual :p:

I suggest you have a look online - the news is free, fast and doesnt consume trees.

[Leviathan]

o cool ok bla bla bla i suck

[Cheez]

Last man standing with lives set to 1 :) ultra fun.. although it does promote hiding. but if you use levels like liandry there arent many places to hide...

[TelexStar]

flippin' heck, just watched one of the 1/2 hour long vids of UT2k3 and it looks absolutly awsome! i can't believe thats only coming out in june!! its miles ahead of anything i've seen so far.

I'm hoping i may have found a game to replace CS!!!! :)

[KermitTheFrag]

yes ... absolutely stunning is a bit of an understatement.

did you see the smoke effects ???

[TelexStar]

No i did'nt get that far due to the crappy camera man who found it incredibly differcult to keep ****ing still! i felt sick after 15 minutes. But i saw enough to make me severely impressed!!

In particular the grass effects! It actually looked like the character was walking *through* tall blades of grass as opposed to a textured surface. very nice


i'd like to see some different weapons though. the ones i saw looked like rehashes of the old UT ones, still great weapons that beat q3 hands down but still - would have been nice.

where did you find that vid, i've been looking for ages, i can't find anything.

[TelexStar]

here you go . .

but beware, they are about 90mb and require divx 5 - http://www.divx.com/divx/

[Jazza]

Doh, had posted same link as above

[Triprotic-Acid]

206MB :eek:

i'll still get it though :)

i did get one a while ago which showed off the 'ragdoll' effect of the bodies (that had a cool sounds track too)

The reason why they called it UT2003 as apposed to UT2 is because they wanted it to have a 'sports' style title. Where they are more of updates rather than a totally new game.

so rehases of the old weapons is expected :)

at least the replacement of the sniper rifle with the lightning gun thingy is good :D you can tell quite quickly where an enemy sniper is :)

[Spanky]

Looks cool, are they going to get rid of the translocator or sort it out. imo that ruined UT. Still a great game though, but at i10 I much prefered games against non-translocating people.

[KermitTheFrag]

well im a translocator whore ;)

they have sorted it out in UT2003 ... it has energy now so you can only translocate in bursts.

[Cabe]

FIIIIIINALLY translocating is the UT equivilent of CS bunnyhopping

[K]

UT2k3 will be @ the iseries as soon as I get my grubby mits on it. It may be the demo for i11 but sould defo be the full game for i12. On the replacement side It wont fully replace UT, in that we will be running UT serverd but I think the main comps will be UT2k3. We will have to see it might stink :P

[Gifted]

NEVER!!
it will be the best game of all time!!

i been waiting for UT2003 for about a year!!! the wait is killing me!

well correction waiting for Unreal 2 for about a year as they only announced UT2003 in last 4 months!! but its gotta be good! it just has to be!

i thought they re-named it because of the clash with Unreal 2. You see the americans are stupid like that (no offence :D) so they renamed Unreal 2 to Unreal Episode 2 and Unreal Tournament 2 to Unreal Tournament 2003.

When the film, The Madness of King George was being made it was originally called 'George III' but they had to rename it because they thought that the americans would get confused and mistake it for a sequel and try and find the other two films that came before it. :D :rolleyes:

[Big Giant Head]

"Harry Potter and the Sorcerors Stone" anyone? Due to them thinking americans wouldn't know what a philosopher was :)

[Triprotic-Acid]

rofl.....lol....lmao! :D:D:D:D

i knew about the 'Gorge III' one, but i didn't know about the Harry Potter one

lmao!

don't know what a philosopher is, lol!!!!! :D

that's made my day :)

[KermitTheFrag]

lol americans ... how do they survive in this world? ...

[Dizzie]

I set the 2 files off to download @ work when I left last night and when I got in today they'd done 200 megs each. I had to cancel them because I was hogging all the ISDN bandwidth. Now you tell me that they were 206meg! grrrrr :mad:

[Brains-Lans]

I would be most interested in playing UT20003.

[Zeuseh]

my computer would blow up on the site of the UT 2003 box as its so damn slow...

[KBB]

this months pc gamer has a nice section on it, it shall be very nice. the release date seems to have crept up, but i wouldnt be suprised if there r some delays

[Jazza]

It's now apparently due in August now, and knowing our luck, it will be released just after i12 :(
