Should Epic Make UT2005?

Posted: Tue Apr 20, 2004 7:44 pm

Bonus pack containing a remake of UT99.
I even wrote a song about UT99.

UT99
I've been waiting so long
Oh UT99
Where did we go wrong
Oh UT99
I love you

UT99
I keep breaking your heart
Oh UT99
How can we be apart
Oh UT99
I love you

I never thought it would happen
I feel quite the same
I don't want to hurt you anymore
I never knew it would work out
No one to blame
You know i love you UT99

UT99
You keep holding my hand
Oh UT99
They don't know who i am
Oh UT99
I love you

I never thought it would happen
I feel quite the same
I don't want to hurt you anymore
I never knew it would work out
No one to blame
You know i love you UT99

UT99
I can't take it no more
Oh UT99
Oh we were so sure
Oh UT99
I love you

I never thought it would happen
I feel quite the same
I don't want to hurt you anymore
I never knew it would work out
No one to blame
You know i love you UT99

Ok, maybe I didn't actually write it, but surely Toto didn't mean to leave off the UT in the original lyrics.

Bring the UT scale back and set the weapons to UTamage and you have another 4 years of sucess. What did you think the reason that 2k4 has more peeps playing? The closer it gets to UT99 the more sucessful it will be. Deal with those facts. The community proves this.

They should remake it because a) They have already said they are going to bring back the necris and b) The new engine+new ut=WOOHOO!

But they should rename it to something like "unreal tournament: Reloaded" Razz

I wouldn't mind a new UT game, but one year is a bit soon. I think they should release bonus packs with more voice packs, models, vehicles, etc.

Personally I think they should work on a new complete game, like Unreal 2, but of course much better. Back in the day where you could buy a SP game and also run some MP maps if you wanted to. Most fun was Half-life and that wasn't even as well known for the MP play!

This wouldn't replace UT game, though. It would have to be a separate game, cause as the hardware improves over time, we need to have new UT games to run on them.

I mean someone should take an unreal engine and do something good with it. maybe get soem feedback from the community and not put together an eye-candy graphics fest that's way too short and has no storyline.

As far as UT goes, in summary, bring out another UT in 2 years or so and keep us happy with some new toys for UT2004 in the meantime. I'd like some new vehicles, maps, models (not humanoid would be fun), voice packs, etc.

If they did make another 200x game it shouldnt be till the new engine is complete plan and simple. I love 2004 bonus packs and content would rock maybe bring back the War Cows and make some more of those cool mach3 models from ut99. More vehicals would be nice.

I only have one comment.

Skarrj voice pack.

Why do they share the same taunts / orders as the Gen Mo'Kai?
They shouldn't. Plain and simple. It's bull that they even sound remotely similar. The Gens have raspy high toned voices, whereas the Skarrj use guttural growls and snorts. Even the half-human hybrids from UT99 sounded more bad-ass then these new guys.

Eh... and one more. Give Xan his own voice pack. He deserves it.

It's probably possible to produce a Skaarj voicepack by altering the pitch of an existing voicepack- that's how UT's Skaarj voicepack was done (and is why it's impossible to do a straight port without the *very* long use of soundrecording equipment). Unfortunately I have absolutely no idea how to change pitches in a voicepack.

There's already two ports of Xan's voicepack in existence, check out http://voiceshrine.beyondunreal.com

Actually, I'm glad they didn't make it too graphically intensive.....as it is I clearly am past the min requirements yet I still average around 25fps.

Also, onslaught added a lot on its own. I don't know how you can say the screwed us with 2k4. I'm amazed how well the bots play in such open spaces. THink about it...maps all along have been corridors, rooms, etc. This makes the number of paths limited just by the shear nature of those gametypes. With onslaught you have some levels where there are wide open spaces. The bots for all extensive purposes handle very well while using vehicles and the ONS weapons (all new features) very well in the game.

When you consider all that is involved I'm amazed the bots do anything at all!

unreal tournament turned into a milking cow: "what should be try to suck out of it now??" i think the best idea is to bring a final SMASHING tournament and then find something else to enjoy us....
