CaptainRAVE Posted December 10, 2001 Posted December 10, 2001 According to Worthplaying, they have some "confirmed info" that the rumors of Digital Extremes developing Unreal Tournament 2 are indeed true. Here's some of that "confirmed info" that they posted: There are for now over 30 levels implanted, divided over one "techno Egyptian area", a world of ice, a world of lava, a jungle planet and many more. The games characters are rendered with six times more polygons than in the original and there are far more models. One of the gaming communities most well preserved secrets are to be released in July next year. YEY and DOUBLE YEY!!!!!!!
Agen Posted December 10, 2001 Posted December 10, 2001 I knew that about 4 days ago. Here's what it says in Pc Zone Unreal Tournament 2 That's the word, and it's carved out of concrete. The sequel to arguably the best multiplayer online shooter is coming out in 2002 15:41 This is the world's first mention of the game, but our sources say the project is already in an advanced stage, with maybe six months of development still to go. All sounds like a late 2002 release to us. Coding is being done by Digital Extremes, who worked closely with Epic on the original Unreal and is currently developing Xbox blaster Unreal Championship. According to sources, the game looks "considerably" more detailed than the original Unreal Tournament and uses the latest build of what is now known, simply, as the Unreal Engine. Key advances are likely to include vast outdoor environments, extensive particle effects such as sand and smoke, expanded control techniques and a revamp of weapons. More as and when we know it, including, hopefully, the first pictures. There's going to be some big games next year, but let's face it, few come bigger than this. Stay tuned.
Darth Simpson Posted December 10, 2001 Posted December 10, 2001 Sounds good. But what happens to Unreal Warfare now? Or is Warfare actually Unreal Tournament 2?
matt-- Posted December 10, 2001 Posted December 10, 2001 This game was announced the same time as Unreal 2! And yes, Unreal Warfare is Unreal Tournament 2.

Er...is it just me, or doesn't that paragraph sound exactly like a description of Unreal Championship for the X-Box? Just going by the screenies of that game, it has Egyptian, Ice, Lava, Jungle...hi-res models, etc... If this is a PC title, it sounds to me like they're just porting UC, or building on that foundation. On the one hand...yay, it sounds great, because now I definitely won't have to buy an X-Box to play UC...on the other hand...well, it sounds just like a port of that game, not a completely new title. Hmmmm....
matt-- Posted December 11, 2001 Posted December 11, 2001 Unreal Warfare was announced before Unreal Championship or the X-Box was. I think its safe to say that UC will be a port of UW...or at least I hope.
Darth Simpson Posted December 11, 2001 Posted December 11, 2001 Since they're both apparently developed by Digital Extremes, I'm betting there will be a few similiar features. Another question : Will they use UT2 or Warfare as the name? Personally I think Warfare sounds much better.
Agen Posted December 11, 2001 Posted December 11, 2001 but ther'll probably rack up more buys if they make it sounds like a sequel
thrEEpaGe Posted December 11, 2001 Posted December 11, 2001 UW != U2 geez.... just like UT != U1..... there are significant differences...... im in school now, so i cant go through them in enough time. go to an irc chat and yell out "UW = U2" and you'll get some "help" =)
CaptainRAVE Posted December 11, 2001 Author Posted December 11, 2001 Firstly it was rumored with Unreal 2. They didnt know if they could actually achieve a good game as selling both at the same time was not a good idea. Secondly it wont just be put across to PC. It'll have 6 times as many polygons as the original which will mean nearly 8 times the specs!! No console could handle that, actually even the best PCs will just about handle it.
acdcfanbill Posted December 12, 2001 Posted December 12, 2001 well, whatever it is called, i will prob be getting UT2, since UT has provided so many hours of great gaming...
