Unreal II Patch & Demo News [Feb 13, 2003, 10:01 pm ET] – Share – Viewing Comments
A post to the Infogrames Forums
by Legend's Glen Dahlgren (thanks Jim Canuel) has word on plans for both a patch
for Unreal II, and definitive word on plans for a demo, something that was up in
the air prior to this point (story). Here's the update:
I wanted to give you all a quick update about what's happening on the home front. While we Legend guys haven't been posting here as much as we'd like (things are still pretty crazy here), I assure you we have been reading your comments and concerns, and we take them all very seriously.Update: This Infogrames Support Page (thanks Shacknews) has a new mini-patch that hopefully addresses crashing issues with EAX sound cards.
As you may have read in the forum already, we're planning on releasing a patch sometime soon. It should address a number of the issues that people have raised in these forums. As well, we're going to be releasing a demo, especially targeted at those of you who want to 'try before you buy'. It should be a great benchmark to see how the game runs on your particular system.
In a later post, I'll try to get you some specifics about both of these, but it shouldn't be too long until you've actually got them in your hands.
Thanks to everyone for your support.
Unreal 1: Obvious, huge, generous amounts of love in their labor. They really threw their hearts and souls into and it showed. The game was so popular that it spawned Unreal Tournament, which many would argue was a good thing.
Unreal 2: <the following is fiction, but it sure feels like the truth>
“Well guys we’re making Unreal Tournament 2003, so I guess, sigh, we’ll have to put out Unreal 2.”
“Awww… really? More work?”
“Hey, can we make it look like Halo and use marines and stuff like Halo? I really liked Halo.”
“This is Unreal. This isn’t Halo.”
“Yeah, but we could make it like Halo. Halo was successful. Let’s make it like Halo.”
“Well there would still have to be Skaarj…”
“Hurray! We’re gonna make a Halo game!”
“??”
“I mean, um, Unreal 2.”
“Hey, can we use the same map parts like they did in Halo? That probably took a lot of work out of it for them.”
“No, but we just won’t work very hard at it. Whatever you make it will be accepted. If you want to make really good maps, then go ahead. If you are tired or just tired of working, then that’s okay too.”
“Can we just make a side-scroller?”
“Let’s repackage Duke Nukem. No one will know.”
“Yeah, gamers are stupid. They bought Warcrap 3 you know.”
