replyIts a shame UT3 is a disgrace to the series. Sure the graphics look pretty, but it doesn't feel like an Unreal Tournament game at all. Hopefully Epic will come through with a UT3.5, similar to what they did with UT2k3, when it was unpopular. I tried logging in to see if I could play the new facing worlds map and found only one server populated. Sad indeed.

The next Alien Swarm game is being developed on the Source engine (and has been for a long time...they need to hurry up and release something).
Hopefully we get another great game like RO and AS. Or, if anything, the Red Orchestra devs are compelled to get an early RO2 build out for the MSU contest.

my theory of online gaming sequels is every sequel just splits the audience between games by about 40-60%. so honestly, I don't think UT can survive anymore, they overfranchised. look at the best examples of games that are played long term like CS and it's because they didn't have sequels early on.
-
How much have you actually played it? It's practically UT2k4 but with better graphics, different art style (I don't like the new art style at all), and some new modes. The player movement is almost identical save for a few tweaks like air dodging.
-
UT2k4 was BETTER in every way.
-
I'm curious, do you have details?
I've actually avoided picking up UT3 precisely because the demo had the same fundamental look and feel as the previous games. To hear someone say that it "doesn't feel like an Unreal Tournament game at all" is a little o_O
-
Yes I own the game, didnt you read my original post, I tried to play facing worlds o_O. It was a waste of money imo.
-
The art direction is lacking, movement isnt fluid, no people to play multiplayer with, single player campaign is a letdown, noticeable slowdowns even on a high end PC. As in terms of gameplay, it just doesnt FEEL like a UT.
-
I didn't ask if you owned the game, and I did read your original post. :-) Thanks for the additional comments. Although, I've never found fluid movement to be an aspect of any of the UT games, and I don't think that the lack of players is a component of the game design per se.

I prefer UT3, as I preferred ut99 to ut2k4. I thought 2k3/4 were aberrations and I see UT3 as returning to more of the original style, which I liked better. Plenty of other things about the game suck though.
