Unreal II Preview [Jan 01, 2003, 1:48 pm ET] – Share – Viewing Comments
There's an Unreal
II: the Awakening Preview on Computer and Video Games with a look at the
upcoming shooter sequel in the works at Legend Entertainment. Based on getting
to check out the game first-hand, the article includes quotes from Legend's Glen
Dahlgren in discussing how the Unreal follow-up may finally surpass Half-Life in
the author's mind as the preeminent single-player FPS, what gameplay is like,
and the decision to forego any sort of multiplayer support.
From everything I've read so far, they are really hyping Unreal II up bigtime. And while Glen Dahlgren was correct in some things he said about Half-Life, he failed to mention one of it's strongest points: no cutscenes. Half-Life never diverted the action away from the player's control. For me, that was a strong point for immersion.
Glen's right about HL's story being very thin. However, when the action is constant and consistant, you tend to forget about it.
I wonder how DX2, Thief3, DOOM3 and STALKER will play out later this year...
