Unreal II Demo Released
G9o writes "The demo for Unreal II: The Awakening has been released. The 153MB file is available for download at Fileplanet or FileShack. Originally Epic said they weren't going to release a demo for it, but perhaps the mediocre reception changed their mind?" In related news, French games site FactorNews are hosting a press document that claims "Unreal II" for Xbox, "Unreal Assault" for PS2 and "Unreal Tournament 2004" for PC will all be shown by Infogrames at E3, albeit possibly behind closed doors.
who knew purple could be so bright and its my favourite colour but I don't think I can handle this shade of unreal purple.
-- it must be true, it's on the internet.
Yeah, if I wanted to wait in queue for hours, i could just go on IRC and get the whole thing ;)
This screen is enough to tell me it's good: http://www.unreal2.com/screens/pc/2b.jpg
Now I just have to stand in line at file planet for 60 mins.
$72 a year to download game demos. Sorry fella, I gotta eat.
Yeah, they gave it a pretty bad review... *digs out his (subscribed) PCG* They gave it a 72%. Here's the final verdict: Highs: Gorgeous graphics; high production values; cool new weapons; expansive level design Lows: Cookie-cutter storyline; redundancy in mission objectives; occassionally just plain dull. Bottom line: Pretty to look at, but it doesn't have a lot going on upstairs. The review's in the April 2003 issue...
so okay, i bought unreal 2 and played all the way through it. my review: it's lame. some of the environments are okay, but this brings nothing new to the fps party.
and it commits an unpardonable sin: it has non-skippable cutscenes.
game developers, i've got news for you: nobody cares about your idiotic plot! i bought your damn game so i could run around and shoot stuff, not so i could watch a half-baked story about the-needs-of-the-many-outweigh-blah-blah-blah. as far as i'm concerned, you owe me for the 15 minutes i wasted watching your masturbatory featurettes, and since i'm making $300/hr contracting these days, i figure you owe me $75. since i spent about half that on the freaking game in the first place, i think it's fair if you just send me your next game free. maybe it won't suck so much.
Hmmm..... so you literally worshipped that CD, eh? Can you share your philosophy and rituals (human sacrifices perhaps?) with the rest of us? Can your CD perform miracles? Perhaps turning water into Mountain Dew? Those of us seeking guidance thank you!

He worshipped the shiny side, and the mighty deity whose image he saw in it.
What is this 'outside' you are talking about?
I dont trust your lies!
Publishing details of an anonymous fast mirror on Slashdot would immediately invalidate the description of it being an "anonymous fast mirror"

It's the level with the really high framerates and unlimited polygons and lighting effects.
Oh and you're not armed. Or shouldn't be. It's one of those wacky RPG's where anything can happen.
