While speaking on what went right with the recently released Unreal Tournament 3, Epic Games President Mike Capps revealed a sentiment not at all unfamiliar to long-time UT gamers: "Unreal Tournament 2003 was a misstep."
It's time for Arena FPS to make a comeback. According to Zoomin.TV FPS gamers are in desperate need for a good Arena FPS. They name map control, one on one battles and a lack of auto aim as some of the reasons why there's a need for a new Quake or Unreal Tournament.
Default Prime writes: "It turns out that the people who make Gears of War also make some other game series called Unreal. Or at least they used to. You wouldn’t really know it, considering that it has been five years since they actually released an Unreal game. Killing locusts with chainsaw bayonets is all well and good, but now that the Gears trilogy is done, maybe Epic Games can get back to the franchise that put them on the map in the first place."
The Unreal games are pretty awesome, well, all but Unreal 2. I'm not much of a fan the way they had no ladder in UTIII too, UC2 is also great and backwards compatible on 360.
I always found that Gears was a step back from what Epic previously achieved.
I remember my jaw dropping the first time I walked out of the crashed ship and saw the outdoor landscape.
And also that first time in that hallway when the walls went up and the lights went off one by one. Man what a great game that was
Nightmare Mode's Aram Zucker-Scharff responds to Kotaku's Richard Eisenbeis on how important "choice" in a plot is to a game:
"Successful narrative design is not accidental. You cannot just take any story, stick a choice into it, and end up with a game, certainly not with a good game. We can judge successful narrative designers by their grip on the game, it must be tight enough to give us structure, but not so tight as to extinguish our imagination."
Unreal Tournament 3 as well.
Yea UT3 is outstanding.. My most played PS3 game by far..
I prefer call of duty 4. Just because I'm a realism nut. Also I've met alot of really cool people on there. :)
They said UT 2003 not UT3, 2003 did suck. Except I liked bombing run.
