[Multiplatform] Unreal Tournament III

Seriously?! Where's the love for UT3 here?

Unreal Tournament 3

Another big fps title for the holiday season coming up.

I just preordered the collector's edition today and PSU:AotI while I was at it lol.

Quote:

Unreal Tournament III (UT3) is a first-person shooter video game and the next installment of the Unreal series after Unreal Tournament 2004. It is being developed by Epic Games, to be published by Midway Games towards the end of 2007 for Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, PlayStation 3, and during 2008 for the Xbox 360. The PlayStation 3 version may be delayed until early 2008. [2]

Unreal Tournament 3 is actually the fourth game in the Unreal Tournament series, but has been numbered in terms of the engine it runs on. The original Unreal Tournament uses the original Unreal Engine, while UT2003 and UT2004 use the Unreal Engine 2; therefore they are considered as the same generation. UT3 is subsequently part of the third generation, due to the fact that it runs on the Unreal Engine 3.

One thing I must note about the gameplay is that it feels more like the original UT than UT2k3 and 2k4 because of the loss of dodge jump.

Oh and demo is coming soon... 1-2 weeks I would assume.

How ya doing, buddy?

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.

Hey I thought Kevin Riepl did a wonderful job on the music for UT2k3/4 and I also really liked the dodge jump that was in 2k3/4 which also brings the point that I am sorta disappointed that its going away in UT3.

actually I used practically in EVERY game mode I played in UT2k4 even onslaught. It was the best method to use to travel if there was no vehicles around.

And online people only using dodge jump? I guess so since that's where only the hardcore players and those who went down the learning curve to utilize it.

I was speaking idiomatically.

UT3 beta demo is unofficially out now...

its being torrented ahead of epic's official release

How ya doing, buddy?

Having some fun with my new darkwalker XD

FELIPE NO

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I dont think so.. because there's only 3 maps for the demo.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Save password? Not sure about that..

Guys if there's issues, check the main forums. Im sure a lot of other people have issues too. Some common issues were the incompatibility with Win XP64 bit and Win 2003 server. Epic released a fix for that though.

How ya doing, buddy?

Oh nice.. I've been wondering about the FPS for 7600GT which I have.

As for the demo, it is a BETA so if you feel something should be changed, post on the official forums. Mark Rein and many of the developers have been constantly checking the forum and responding as much as possible to their fans' requests. It's been stated that the BETA was meant to test things and that the Unreal Warfare mode was way too varied in gameplay to just test within 1 map. I would expect the actual retail demo to be much different than the BETA demo we're playing right now.

As for the evolutionary jump, I assume you may be talking about dodge jump and a few other features that UT2k4 had that got stripped out of UT3? Trust me, you aren't the only one who feels this way.

It's been suggested that Epic had to go back on the gameplay because of the original UT community and pressure from the overall FPS community. As far as I can tell, most FPS players cannot stand a more 3-dimensional of FPS like UT2k3 and 2k4 which was why UT2k4 was albeit unpopular with a lot of FPS players where as they preferred more "grounded" 2-D battles like the original UT.

Personally I prefer UT2k3-2k4 more because it really defines the series as a different FPS overall. Now it just feels like I'm playing Quake... though rumours say that there will be a dodge jump mutator//ut2k4 settings mutator in the final version to appease their 2kX community.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

it has its uses... when used properly it can be very useful like picking up your flag carrier midway back to base.

I just noticed but I dislike how the scorpian is missing the handbrake now =/

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

You know... i haven't bothered playing it lately because I heard you should really get a PhysX card for it which I dont have one, UI did not change which really upset me being a UT2k4 fan and I just got Phantasy Star Universe:Ambition of the Illuminus which has made me a pretty happy gamer.
