Cloudfire you oddball, I love you for finding this. Unreal Tournament 4 is an FPS I'm pretty freaking sure I could get hyped for. And I hate hype these days. *jumps aboard hype train, kicks out conductor and yells "ALL ABOARD!"*

 

Bring in the stress is all I can say. I`m sure i will be too old to keep up with the teenagers but I`ll give it a go when its released

Hope they bring in tons of player modes like they had in UT2004.

Instagib for sniper/fast paced goodness.
Invasion for a little role playing.
Onslaught for tactical playing.

OMG cant wait.

 

I hope it has hitboxes similar to '99, I LOVE getting myself some headshots. I miss games with really fun guns like that. I'm still a young'un at 24 I'll get it all done *oils twitching arm and wrist*

*preparing for Sniper Rifle and Flak Cannon and Low Gravity RPG-only arenas*

 

I loved UT. I'm an old man now too, but still would love some bouncing and sniping levels.

EDIT: Holy Cow, speaking of UT, this dude has put in over 8000 hours in UT 3!!!

Just for the record, 8147 hours is about 339 days, considering this was released on Nov 19, 2007. It's been about 2370 days since then, so that's a full 24 hours every week for the last 6.5 years, or about 3 hours a day on average.

 

All this tells me is that he has bad taste in UT because UT3 is hands-down the worst/most consolized in the series by a wide margin. Everyone knows '99 and 2K4 are the best.

As for the number of hours played, it's probably the Steam bug, or he just left the game on while doing other things.

 

Unreal Tournament is timeless. UT'99 is even the game I earned (yes earned) the name D2ultima in. UT4 just makes my insides burst with glee. And... Unreal Engine 4. Like I said, once it has UT '99's hitboxes I'm happy as all moocow.

 

I'm more of a Quake III guy but I definitely won't turn down a UT reboot if it's good.

 

Unreal Tournament 2004 is definitely my favourite of all the UT games.
It was the one who had most mods made by the community and there are still active people there I think now 10 years later.
A couple of years back me and a few buddies tried joining a couple of games and the skill on those people who still play...man BF or CoD got nothing on these guys. Lucky if you even get a few kills

 

You're tellin me! '99 was my strongest game, but I'm not really a slouch at 2004 either. But the people who STILL play that game? Have mercy on whatever noob wanders into their domain. They're probably going to think everyone is hacking. I remember in 2011 I wandered into a UT3 server that I was so amazed still had players. I would finish between 3rd and 4th out of about 8 people each time, and at one point I just stopped and asked them if it was some kind of special server where pros come to play. One actually replied that it was, so I wasn't doing too shabby for being 3rd most of the time XD. But man, I could have never beaten the guys that kept coming 1st and 2nd. I don't even think I could do it now what with my better mouse and good headset and 120Hz screen and all those thingamajiggys

 

Wonder if you guys would recognize me from the UT franchise............................

 

The name almost sounds like one of those bots from campaign missions

Were you any good?

 

And while they're at it, could we get another entry in the single player series as well? I actually enjoyed Unreal and Unreal 2...

 

Unreal was a watershed moment for PC gaming, Unreal II was mediocre. Even today I still have the original Unreal installed. Fully decked out with Kentie's D3D10 renderer and extreme high-res textures from the Retexturing Project, it actually gives my system a real workout, especially when I enable POM and 2x2 downsampling.

 

Like it's been said about Deus Ex would apply to unreal too- 'everytime you mention unreal, someone reinstalls it'

Definetely waiting for this release, UT 99' on voodoo banshee were epic times.

 

LOL. I just went to do just that.

 

No they should never leave your hard drive in the first place, especially Deus Ex since it's the greatest PC game of all time. Endlessly replayable and it's not as if it's a 50GB install like Titanfall. Same engine as Unreal and UT99 coincidentally.

 

Yep. We've got a 32p Onslaught server which is full up most nights. Can't wait for UT4!

 

Glad to see so many people excited for UT here. I just began my foray into the franchise with UT99 a week or so ago. Yep, I'm a noob haha, but at I'm having more fun with it than I've had with any shooter in a long time.

 

The news that "Unreal Tournament" will be free to play and the community will help decide and build the game came to me as a big surprise.

Epic will still have a team that will take the final decision on the game development, but I really like the idea that we the people get to inspire them and shape a game that will be awesome.
I have read a couple of posts on the unreal forum and the guy who composed the music on UT99 have jumped on board and wants the make the music for this game along with a couple of his friends. Then there is a massive support of coders, graphic designers etc who also want to contribute to the game. Not just for some cash but to shape the game.
People have polled if they want 2k4 speed in gameplay or want a more standard shooter slowpaced style, and the clear majority said they wanted 2k4 type which means that we probably will get that in the final product now that Epic listen to us.

I think the upcoming UT game will be amazing.

 

It sounds good on paper, but lets see execution.

 

This is the best news this year, got to love UT, cant wait too see more...

 

will it be released this year or next year?
