UT2003 Gold [Sep 20, 2002, 08:24 am ET] – Share – Viewing Comments
After a sprinkling of false rumors yesterday, a post to the Infogrames, Inc. Forums
by Epic's Mark Rein (thanks JP) has word that Unreal Tournament 2003 has
gone gold as of 5:00 AM EDT this morning, and the game is expected in stores by
the end of the month. He describes the contents of the three CD distribution,
which will include the game and its over 35 levels, tools including Maya
Personal Learning Edition from Alias|Wavefront, The Karma Authoring Tool, a mod
"starter kit," the game's Linux support (which is not mentioned in the
packaging), including the client and the server. He also mentions plans for
future related releases such as a stand-alone server which will not require
ownership of the game, the UDE (Unreal Development Environment), a customized
version of Gmax, and other cool features for a bonus pack. In a
later post (thanks Unreality),
Mark also lists the names of the 37 maps the game will ship with.
I have to agree with this post 100%. Things change. I am one of those old "skewl" gamers. I go back to the days of the commodore 64 and playing Pac Man on it. Imagine my excitement when Wolfenstein3D first came out. I am still a FPS enthusiast after all these years. Because, that gaming genre offers me the most fun for my gaminig bucks. Frankly, I don't give a rat's rear end if I'm better than you are, or if you are better than I am. I play because, I like to. Its that simple. I love the new graphics engines they keep coming up with. And I love them for the fast, furious, "eye candy" way the display the 3d action. I agree that Q2 was one of the best balanced games to come out of Id. But, I am looking forward with great anticipation to DOOM III (even though I'm sure I bought, and played a game from Id called "Final Doom" a few years ago). Why? Because Id will, once again, up the ante for this type of gaming experience.
If you are a real "hard core" gamer, I'd think you'd want as much of this kind of gaming out there as possible. To me, its all good (Well, ok, Gore sucked). And keep em coming! And I don't care whether there are "trolls" posting, or anon posting. I am capable of ignoring posts that look like they were posted by nihilistic kiddies interested in getting a rise out of people. And what is all this crap about BF1942?!? Who cares? This thread is about UT2k3. If we are interested in talking about, yet another WWII FPS/RTS/tactical ops game, I'm sure Blue will start a thread on that game too and then all you lovers of the game can rip all other games in that thread. Just leave us UTers alone please. Thats my story and I'm sticking to it
