Make Something Unreal Winners Announced

Posted by Zonk on from the to-the-victors-go-the-spoils dept.

The Make Something Unreal Finalists have been whittled down to the last and the Contest Winners have been announced. The grand prize (A full Unreal engine license and $50,000) for a mod goes to Red Orchestra, Russians vs. Germans in The Great Patriotic War. First place for an UT movie goes to Journey, and is well worth the download time.

  1. Oh cool! by GojiN · · Score: 4, Funny

    Another WW2 game enters the retail market. Glad something innovative won MSU...

      Yeah, I was hoping Air Buccaneers would win (they received third place). Definitely a fun mod when lots of people are playing. A kind of unique concept as well.

  2. What the... ?! by Grinnblade · · Score: 3, Funny

    Why would they need an Unreal license? Didn't they already make the movie? (remembers Unreal engine license == legal mod) ... Oh... well, yeah, that's right. Nevermind, carry on.

  3. torrents? by teh_dg · · Score: 2, Interesting

    As is to be expected, some of the bigger files are downloading slowly, I'm currently downloading the 210mb of bot (2nd place movie) goodness at about 15kb/s.

    Any torrents (or at least major mirrors) going around for the bigger files?

  4. UnWheel by Neo-Rio-101 · · Score: 3, Funny

    I thought the "UnWheel" mod, announced on the finalists list for the competition, was quite innovative, if very unpolished. It used the Unreal game physics to do a complete makeover with vehicles, which it did quite successfully (except the computer AI is non-existant at the moment.)

    It reminded me of the joys of playing "Hard Drivin'" for the first time. Trying to drive the slow moving School Bus up the loop, only to get halfway and watch it fall back on itself from a 3rd person perspective was the best part.

  5. so they can sell something by Vitriolix · · Score: 3, Informative

    well, now they have a free license to build a commecial game, which means they need to come up with $350,000 less initial investment to get a small company started. sounds like a good deal to me :)

  6. I like AirBuccaneers by istewart · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Some of the most innovative gameplay I've seen in an FPS. Needs a little more polish, but I hope the devs will stick with it. I quit due to WoW but I'm gonna get back into it now that I've got a faster box.
