When UT4 or UT201x comes out...

[shifty]

Muscat, let me ask you this:

How many times has a developer or group made an amazing game just to make a great game, and not for the money? Why is this not possible for a beast of an entity like them?

Do you feel that the UT community - the community that helped propel this game into infamy - with all the support we've provided over the years is not worth recreating a classic?

I don't want to say "they owe us", I just mean to say ... I feel like we're ready, I feel like it would be an incredibly classy thing for them to do as a way of saying, "here's our roots, here's what inspired our latest creation, here is a thank you to everyone back in the day who helped inspire or make it a reality".

But I'm known to be a dreamer that likes to give back to others.

I do not think that UT99 could be recreated even if they tried.

Part of what made the game so charming was the clunky netcode and inaccuracies that resulted from it. If you have not played UT99 for years then load it back up, play multiplayer, and you will see/feel what I mean. It is a big part of what made the gameplay what it was. How they could replicate that I do not know as outdated netcode would seem out of place in a graphically updated version.

I certainly would not mind them trying at least though

Hi Shifty,
I think it is not the first time we talk about that. They created UT 99, you can play UT99 anytimes. The game is always great with real minor bugs. Recreating UT99 is somewhere a waste of time because the game already exist. I play UT99 sometimes and it is always fun because you have no lag at all and all is very fast on actual computers. We tried to recreate UT99 under UT2004 but well it is a lot of work and I don't want to waste years of my life for just a game that already exist. The tools and engine changed to much and was full of bugs (or unfinished work) at each new release. Now they changed so many classes and stuff it is crazy if someone try to do it.

I think UT 3 is not a bad game but nobody is playing it online. I don't like the user interface and the game seems dam heavy for my system. Many of my ideas and voice taunts are include in UT3. I'm sure the director don't know about it. It is young devs who tried all the mutators and mods suggesting stuff made by the community and get paid for that. That kind of stuff destroy all motivations to make mods for game. I think they deserve the fail just for doing that. They want a community and modders they just have to respect the community. Maybe I am one of the UT3 aliens in the head of a Digital Extreme's technical artist lol.
