UT4 or UT99 Remade?

bscly, just discuss.

my personal opinion is remake UT99 with UT2004 and UT3 favorites (characters, maps,etc). add onslaught but have less emphasis on vehicles in other game modes. also have larger playermodels like the old Unreal Tournament. my personal opinion is that they should do away with double jump and the floaty gameplay, and not make it in the gears of war graphics style that UT3 has.

your opinions? I’m wondering what other peoples thoughts are in this matter.

My opinion is that Epic need to stop making endless reiterations of the same generic deathmatch game. I’ve played all of the Unreal Tournament games, and UT99 is still the most fun.

I won’t lie, UT3 is beautiful, the graphics are stunning… but it’s just a remake really… when you strip away the minimal changes in gamemodes… it’s just UT2004 with a different look and completely arbitrary content thrown in or removed. UT3 is to UT2004 what UT2003 was to UT99.

All of these games except for UT99 suffer from what I call ‘unreal syndrome’ which means you will become nauseus if you play it for more than 48 minutes… Why? The only way I can describe it is that they lack the power to immerse the player… especially if you’re a fan of UT99, because if you are… you know that these don’t live up to it. Even with all those vehicles and all that content… you know deep down that it isn’t really fun.

It’s my opinion that if Epic really want to make a new Unreal game there is literally nowhere left for the franchise to go except for back to singleplayer… they have done multiplayer… to death. They have exhausted everything that Unreal Tournament could be. I mean, they even tried to apply a story through cinematics to UT3, despite the fact it’s a deathmatch game with no real order. Absolute nonsense.

If they would remake UT99 faithfully, without spamming it up with vehicles and experimental game modes, then it could work… But I don’t think that’s very likely.

where they went wrong with Unreal tournament is they made the sequels to unreal. ancient egyptians and nightmare clowns, jumping three times your height and falling five stories without taking damage, thats part of the unimmertion to be sure. not to mention HORRIBLE ai.

Even if Epic DO do another UT, they have explicitly said they won’t make any more games for the PC.

LOL IMHO :slight_smile:

I agree with mattemuse. The unreal gameplay is what makes the games awesome.

and I appreaciate that. however, there surely should be a line not to cross. while were at making this unreal, how about in the next one humans have developed wings and can fly, and they are fighting an alein race of cheeseburgers. :stuck_out_tongue:

but ether way, its nice to have opinions. thanks guys.

If you need to look deep inside yourself to find that something isn’t fun, then maybe you shouldn’t be putting your head so far up your butt to begin with.

Good. Now PC gamers won’t have to put up with the terrible lag in Gears of War 2’s multiplayer!
I say fuck Epic. Gears of War 2’s multiplayer sucks balls (besides co-op and Horde.) Maybe when Gears of War 3 is released Epic will finally realize that people will excuse a little lag here and there if you can RESPAWN!

As for Unreal, I can’t really say, because I’ve only played UT3 and didn’t like it.

Plot + UT = FAIL

Can’t say much since I’d play only UT99 but all recent UTs lost its charm.

@ Neon Impulse

YOU + LOGIC = FAIL
UT99 has a plot ; a very simple one but it has one and its a great game no matter what you say.

Well, while it does have plot, it really isn’t necessary, and is beside the point of the game, multiplayer.

On the defensive. :’(

I found UT99’s singleplayer rather enjoyable. The Ai was good and you had lots of custom options in instant action, and in the actual “tournament” they had enough reading material so even though all you did was fight in the different gamemodes it still had the feel of a real single player game.

on another note, I read somewhere that someone had found an engine/whatever to have some form of ragdolls in ut99. I am quite skeptical regarding this, does anyone here know anything about it?

I KNOW UT99 and UT2003/2004 have a plot, I meant a more complex plot. DUH!

I didn’t wanna say complex 'cause people would probably say ‘‘It wasn’t complex stfu’’.

I’d like the UT3 mixxed with the 99 and some shit imported from the 2004…so basicly an Unreal Tournament Most wanted game.

I’m not actually that bothered if they do or do not make another game for the PC, just as long as certain staff don’t insult PC Gaming again.

I want a remake of unreal gold imo

Why does everyone want a remake. How about something new, with some elements from old games but not only these elements.

Why can’t they just make another Unreal? I never got into UT. But unreal was fuckin’ cool.
