Kingpin and UT Previews

Next-Generation Online has posted a pair of new previews, a little blip on Kingpin, which is their 3dfx game of the week, and This Is Unreal Tournament, a beefier piece about Epic's upcoming sequel to Unreal, offering loads of quotes from Mark Rein, including the first word I can recall seeing that UT would not be out before E3. Thanks Apache at Computer Gaming Review. Here is a bit from the preview on how bots will be used to balance out multiplayer games:

Rein then pointed out an interesting feature, which is the ability for server operators to specify the number of players desired in a multiplayer game, and that bots can be used to round out the numbers. As players come onto the server, the bots are killed off automatically by the system. Rein claimed the only way he is aware of to determine if players are human or bots is to look at their ping time: "The AI is so good we hope you won't be able to tell the difference otherwise."
