Naw, I'd do a few levels just to get used to how movement and jumping are different.

w00t. The original UT is on Steam? Anyone know if you can find MP games using the steam server browser?

Shame Steam still have rubbish pricing! UT3 can be had for £15 and even on offer Steam wants $45+ tax which equates to about $50 or £25+....

Wonder if Unreal on there works in D3D or OpenGL natively, no dodgy glide>opengl wrappers needed.

The original UT on steam sounds like a winner to me, I still have my original copy so hopefully steam will bring some new life into the original and best version of unreal

but its $10!!!

I bought the Unreal anthology (UT, UT2k4, Unreal and Unreal 2) for £10! The Steam prices are just stupid!

Yeah I agree steam prices are stupid but hopefully less informed people will buy UT from steam and breath new life in to the game and if steam are selling it they have to provide some support for it (I hope). I used to have so much fun with this game and it's far better than UT2003, UT2004 and UT3

Im sorry but UT '99 > *

TheMagic1an · 17 Mar 2008 at 22:21

nice....good to see the unreal series on steam.

davecarter · 18 Mar 2008 at 09:13

I just picked up Unreal Anthology for 99p on flea bay, how much would it cost on steam

Steam is great but way overpriced

Moredhel · 18 Mar 2008 at 09:17

Oh no, how dare they ask for £5 whole pounds for something that will give me hours of enjoyment... :rolleyes:

It costs more than that to do just about anything else...

Unfortunately it seems the developers set the prices on Steam. For example, FM2008 is something like $60 + tax in the UK when we can buy it from retailers for £20. I think Valve just want the other developers on Steam to gain the publishing rights from other companies to grow in value before setting standard prices.

Good stuff though, hopefully they can sort out the pricing and get people playing. Loved the original Unreal and Return to Na Pali add-on, it made me happy to be a voodoo 2 owner.

russ0r · 18 Mar 2008 at 19:33

Has anyone bought any of these yet?
Are any of them in any way integrated into the Steam server browser?

Cheers

I never played any of the Unreal games. Did any of them have great SP campaigns - great stories etc? Or were they only really good for MP?

Unreal and Unreal 2 were SP games
