I've been trying to imagine the 'feel' of UT99 transplanted onto those ultra detailed screenshots, but it's just not working for me. An integral part of that 'feel' which makes me nostalgic for the original game is that irreplacable aesthetic sense of rather rudimentary and bland metallic environments. It was comforting. Those screenshots on the other hand leave me cold. The mass amounts of realistic detail just look like distractions. I wonder how something like Facing Worlds would be treated in this new engine. There was a simplistic beauty about the classic.

I understand the need for progress and all that. But...well I guess this is just me saying that UT99 can never be supplanted. But the music had already made sure of that anyway. We'll never get that simple Tracker goodness now. Those days are gone. What have they done with the old tracks? Just stuffed them with extra BOMBAST.

"It's like Classic UT, on ACID!"

Though the environments and excessive visual detail may not reflect UT99 anymore, I think what they really meant was that they are trying to recreate the classic gameplay feeling. UT2003/2004 always felt more like Quake 3 to me, only slightly different. And in terms of music, I hope it comforts you that Alexander Brandon is back on the team to create awesome music like he did for UT99 and Deus Ex, so that means no more super-bass-uninspired-filler-crap-music-tracks for sure though I wonder if he'll be able to beat his own old-school tracker goodness.

Most amazing jew boots

Well give it some time and maybe they will reveal some more musicians like Dan Gardopée and Andrew Sega; it's pretty vague at the moment though Brandon is confirmed thanks to an interview. I bet they asked v.d. Bos as well but he's having success with Overlord right now and maybe they we're unable to contract him. Hopefully they managed to get him to work on the game in some way or another, I really like his music.

How ya doing, buddy?

My PC doesn't have the ballz for this game so i'm unable to play it. If you would like, could some of you rip a few tracks of the music? I'd really like to hear Brandon's music and see if he still has the force

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

How did you like the feel of the game? Was it similar to UT99 like they intended it to be? Also, noticed any difference by turning Hardware Physics on and off?
