Unreal Tournament 2K4 First Look 41
Thanks to an anonymous reader for pointing to a Gamespot first look at Unreal Tournament 2K4, which comes with the first 3 official screenshots of Epic's PC FPS. This title includes much of the goodness in UT2K3, "as well as new game modes, huge new maps, and controllable air, land, and space vehicles", and Gamespot mentions that one of the screens "provides a look at the space flyer in the assault mode, while the other two show scenes from the onslaught mode, which will take place in giant outdoor environments."

Duke Nukem' Forever finally makes it?
Bad joke aside, UT2k3 and UT II just came out fairly recently, and there are still people creating maps, mutators, etc. for them. Hopefully this won't steal too much thunder from the UT2k3 and UT II camps, since there's still lots of good gameplay left there.
P.S. Slashcode continues to be broken. Either fix the headers for games on the frontpage, or, apply the color schemes to all the other headlines. In fact, that might be kind of cool. BSD headlines in red, Apple in the Aqua theme, etc.

Unreal II the awakening. I stand corrected. Same engine though.

Personally, I prefer to buy sports titles shortly after the new version comes out (buying the older version), because they're dirt cheap and there's usually little change between each year's title (it's only over the long term t

Jesus Christ, if they EVER expect to ship Halo for the PC, then sales will be abysmal. Everyone that wanted it has already played it on Xbox.

1. It's completly backwards compatible with UT2K3. Any mod for UT2K3 works in 2K4.
2. Atari is planning some sort of rebate for existing 2K3 owners, but no details were announced at E3.
3. 2K4 adds more content to the game then what 2K3 shipped with.
4. This still uses the same engine as 2K3, with some tweaks.
5. There are no plans currently for a UT2K5. 2K4 exists due to so much new content being developed for the game. More then they were willing to release as free bonus packs.

Also officially Ut2k3 is Unreal Tournament 2003, so it just user shortening, jus' like typing MS to be Microsoft, IE6 being Internet Explorer 6.**. Geeks like acronyms, alot. With all our big nasty RAMs, ROMs, MP3s, MMORPGS, MUDs, BMPs, etc etc... Saying "Unreal Tournament 2003" is cumbersome, saying "YOO TEE TWO Kay THREE" is easier.

Graphics was supposed to be awesome, at least somebody said so back then. Well maybe they were, but all those fancy details and flashing things made the whole screen to look really confusing. I couldn't tell what part of the screen was supposed to be a wall and where the enemy was

Maybe you saw this game when it was called tribes2
My thoughts exactly, except the graphics are slightly prettier. T2 was one game with huge replay value.. I still play it regularly after almost two years. If this new UT game plays as good as it looks, they should have a winner on their hands.
