Unreal Tournament 2004? And Epic?

[ComradeBadger]

Right, firstly is this the beginning of a yearly series? Or is it a much-required update of an engine, adding value to a product?

Also, what do you actually think of Epic, and their handling of the Unreal series? And also their lincencing of their game technology, which is argueably their largest source of revenue.

*serious thread*

It looks like the beginning of a yearly series, but I'm willing to wait and see what they do. From one of the screens I saw, it looks like they're taking some cues from other games (Halo's Warthog vehicle) which is kind of sleazy. As for adding value...

I haven't really seen anything drastically new from the Unreal games. The games seem very conventional, and it seems like they're going to continue the tradition. The Unreal products that aren't drab tend to be the modifications and the games that licensed the engine, which are what I'm waiting for. I think they're just updating the engine to create license revenue.
