Unreal III Announced 20

Posted by Zonk on Friday April 01, 2005 @03:40PM from the hardcore-slug-action dept.

Details about the background behind the upcoming Unreal III are available at Voodoo Extreme. From the article: "The highly-anticipated Unreal 3 takes gamers into the mysterious past of their favorite royal alien parasite inside the body of a giant slug, TCA pilot Ne'ban, last seen being blown to smithereens at the end of Unreal 2." Sounds like an interesting story concept. Update: 04/02 18:02 GMT by Z : April 1st hoax story.

  Offtopic?! Common people think! Slug + Salt = dead slug
  
  Plus it's even presented in a witty yet slightly obsucre Simpsons/Jimmy Buffet reference

Half life 3 is expected to be on an early release track, 3-4 weeks from now, following hot on the heels of Duke Nukem. At least today my quote on the bottom of the page was funny: Automobile, n.: A four-wheeled vehicle that runs up hills and down pedestrians.

Epic announced the next UT [beyondunreal.com] days before. Those diappointed today will still get their next Unreal game.
