Unreal Tournament 2K4 First Look

Posted by simoniker on from the unreally-updated-yearly dept.

Thanks to an anonymous reader for pointing to a Gamespot first look at Unreal Tournament 2K4, which comes with the first 3 official screenshots of Epic's PC FPS. This title includes much of the goodness in UT2K3, "as well as new game modes, huge new maps, and controllable air, land, and space vehicles", and Gamespot mentions that one of the screens "provides a look at the space flyer in the assault mode, while the other two show scenes from the onslaught mode, which will take place in giant outdoor environments."

    you're correct about the vehicles, there is a small vehicle demo hidden in UT2K3 that i'm sure most people know about. if not, open the console in UT2K3 and type 'open vehicledemo' (w/o the quotes, of course) to drive around a volcanic looking area in some sort of buggy contraption. fun.

  2. Random Tidbits by Drakino · · Score: 4, Informative

    Random tidbits from my visit to E3 and seeing UT2K4:

    1. It's completly backwards compatible with UT2K3. Any mod for UT2K3 works in 2K4.

    2. Atari is planning some sort of rebate for existing 2K3 owners, but no details were announced at E3.

    3. 2K4 adds more content to the game then what 2K3 shipped with.

    4. This still uses the same engine as 2K3, with some tweaks.

    5. There are no plans currently for a UT2K5. 2K4 exists due to so much new content being developed for the game. More then they were willing to release as free bonus packs.
