Epic has admitted to neglecting its best-selling Unreal franchise in recent years.

Really?

Of course they have, been too busy ******* their cash cow GOW up the *** to make anything decent.

Would like a really good Unreal Tournament game again. If they got it right I could see it giving the other online arcade FPS games a run for their money. Much love to the original.

Another as good as UT2004, brought up to date and some new stuff added and I'd be happy. UT3 was soulless

I think if they combined a fun customisation level with the ranking system of say the CoD series, it could do well. Unreal was fast and chaotic and lots of fun.

God I would love another UT2004 game!!!

aimless deathmatch games are pretty boring imo, dont care about ut, never have.

Tummy · 23 Jul 2011 at 01:03

S'all about capture the flag

I'd like it if they brought out another top notch single player title, I really enjoyed the first two games.

They've been neglecting the series since long before ut2004 came along

I'd pay good money for a reboot of UT99 on a newer game engine if I thought Epic were actually willing to support the thing for more than 6 months

CSS is pushing 7 years (retail, not counting alpha/beta) and its still a top seller, low and behold once in a blue moon they still update the thing too

fed up of the big names just producing 30 quid reskins (lulcod)

i always thought that unreal tournament was purely a tech demo for their new version of the unreal engine.

trigger-happy · 23 Jul 2011 at 01:25

hmm maybe Unreal tournament 2011? or 2012? On the new unreal engine like the Samaritan?

Epic gave up on the Unreal series when Gears of War became popular and they starting licensing the Unreal Engine 3 to other developers making so much money from it. I'm sure if Unreal Tournament 3 came out before Gears of War then the situation would be different.

yea, I still remember me getting 125 kills and 10 deaths on a lan event at my school lol.

Can't believe I bought UT3. I'm a huge fan of 99 aswell. Didn't mind 04. A new game with a cod ranking system would be cool. Need the trickjumps back aswell. Could do it in 99 but not 04 :mad:

Yeah back in the day, for me and for most of us we had counter strike at one end of the spectrum and unreal at the other, both vastly different apart from being first person shoot em ups, bot had their unique qualities.

They defo need to bring out a good unreal game. Would be awesome. They always had amazing graphics and gameplay and an amazing engine too, and the fast pace was awesome.
