Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given
their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!
Unreal Tournament 3: PC demo out now!
Posts
Also a couple corrections I think:
-Open UTGame.ini and scroll down to [SystemSettings]. - UTGame should be UTEngine
--Scroll down to where it says [UTGame.UTDeathMessage] and set "bNoConsoleDeathMessages" to True. - it's already true (disabled), should be False
It seems that lower is better then. My CPU score (UTEngine.ini, very bottom) is 467.049194, on a Core 2 Duo e6600.
Yeah, but the bloom is a bit overpowering at first.
So how many of us are going to be getting this on launch?
Also, having played with bots for a good while, I think my twitch skills have been improving. Any chance we can all get together again and do some more crazy shit?
EDIT: Also, I kind of wish they threw in some basic Mutators, like infinite ammo, extra speed. etc.
Also, that fucking Announcer just knows what to say to put a smile on my face...
Yeah, I dunno. I love the way the game looks with the bloom and depth of field stuff and just everything about it. The art style is different (I didn't play a lot of Gears of War so it's still new to me) but it's not bad at all. I think I'll definitely pick this up on or around launch day.
UT99 and UT2K4 are among my favourite games of all time. I just wish the Assault community was as good with 2K4 as it was with 99. Assault - Sunspire is one of my favourite maps.
Also kinda related, I'll be grabbing Gears of War on 11/6 so if anyone want's to play some co-op or any of the other multiplayer modes that should be fun. That is if anyone else here is getting it. I remember drooling over that game last Christmas and almost considered buying a 360 to play it. Then I told myself, "it will come out on PC, it's an Epic game." I'm glad I was patient becuase the previews I've read have been positive, or everyone is lying.
I got it from Filefront. Much better d/l speeds anyway.
If that's the case I would probably wait to see how the online pans out. They are using Windows Live for it, so yeah D:. But it probably won't be much worse than the Gamespy crap UT has always used.
I'm planning on getting it, and will probably be looking for someone to co-op with. Unfortunately, a combination of time, location, and a currently not-too-reliable net connection probably aren't going to be conducive for that, at least for the time being. :mrgreen:
You got XP or Vista? Vista isn't necessary, but if you've got it you should have access to Live, which means friends lists and stuff. Should make it easier for you to schedule multiplayer with people (although I can't see that being too much of a problem anyway).
I'm hoping it'll get a decent multiplayer community, but personally, I'm not too interested in it for anything other than the co-op. That might change once I actually try the multiplayer of course.
In any case, I'm definitely looking forward to Gears PC.
Anyway back to the UT3 demo, when I first started playing it I murdered everyone on the server. I think a lot of people playing either hadn't played a UT game or hadn't played one in a long time.
It seems a lot more UT players have the demo now because I get smoked in several of the dedicated servers every time I join them.
Seriously dude just go online and check it out. You might be humbled, but playing with humans is 10X better then against bots.
Very 'adrenaline-rush' fast-paced FPS game,and thus different styles of gameplay from ET:QW(which is more slower pace & IMO is more tactical),though I think I would enjoy both games.

COME FORTH, AMATERASU!

Before anyone gets their hopes up for a promising SP campaign like Gears or something, it is basically just multiplayer modes and maps with a whole bunch of backend stuff.
Im not saying it will be bad, far from it. Should be ace. But its not a 'Single player' as most people think of it. Its definitely more 'arcadey'
Seems very 'Gears' in style (in terms of dialogue and general style), or at least that's the impression I got from the trailer. Understandable really, the two even look practically identical. If you suddenly saw Marcus in a UT3 deathmatch you probably wouldn't even blink.
Actually there's a thought, how long do you reckon before someone ports Marcus over from Gears PC into UT3? Or ports some models and stuff from UT3 into Gears?
I'd give it about a week, maybe two tops.
No I won't eat anything so go away titmouse.
This... I'm not sure if I'll like it, but I'll give it a try.
It's still an interstellar sport. The tournament is still happening, this is the same universe, it's just that the Necris and the NEG are having a throwdown and the storyline seems to be focusing on that somehow.
However, who's this "fallen hero"?
The one of Unreal 1 fame?'
Or is it a random person?
Random person. Basically the story goes that Gruff McGlassGargler had his mining colony invaded by the Necris Phayder. And while he bavely and valiantly fought back, along with the other heroic space miners who appear to have all had steroid injections and been fed nothing but raw cows since they were three years old, nonetheless the Necris promptly killed all his loved ones, his family, his friends, and shot and ate his pet dog wiffles.
And now he's a MAN, a man on the EDGE, with a MISSION, out for REVENGE.
So yeah, expect some real Shakespearian stuff to go down here.
Wherefore art thou blaster
the story will suck
however
playing single player should be very fun
Would not a Plasma Rifle, by any other name, still melt thine face fully off?
Oh shit. SIGGED.
Reaper's face is like Marcus, Dom, and Baird from Gears all rolled into one.
I am not getting my hopes up, but I do want the single player game to serve several purposes. First, it's got to teach me how to play really well. How to get used to all the vehicles and new content and become proficient with them as well as some of the maps. Next, how about some awesome eye candy? From the trailer, it looks to deliver. Finally, I want to pull a "Gabe" and congratulate my bot teammates.
Also, in case you guys don't remember, they said it would probably have 4 man online co-op for Single player. So it should be pretty awesome.
Wow, never heard that one.
Could be awesome but it really depends on how the singleplayer game is played out. I can only really see 4-player coming through in something far more structured than even the standard Onslaught / Warfare type maps. Otherwise it's just you and some friends playing a botmatch, something that we've pretty much had since UT.
The best part I think will be the 4 player online co-op. I'm a total sucker for co-op games so with Gears and UT3 shipping next month we'll have more co-op campaigns to play through then we've had in a long time on the PC. So yeah, it should be fun.
Too right. We usually get a dearth of co-op campaigns, so I'm really looking forward to Gears.
What I've also been hoping for a while now is that some enterprising modders will create a 4-player co-op campaign for Gears (or possibly just allow 4-player drop in on some scenes from the game where the whole squad is there). But hopefully this will be just as good.
Score?
So what was the story there? Were you out for REVENGE? Were you, at any point, brung low or heretofore hard done by your enemies?
