Unreal III Announced

← Back to Stories (view on slashdot.org)

Posted by Zonk on Friday April 1, 2005 @07:40AM from the hardcore-slug-action dept.

Details about the background behind the upcoming Unreal III are available at Voodoo Extreme. From the article: "The highly-anticipated Unreal 3 takes gamers into the mysterious past of their favorite royal alien parasite inside the body of a giant slug, TCA pilot Ne'ban, last seen being blown to smithereens at the end of Unreal 2." Sounds like an interesting story concept. Update: 04/02 18:02 GMT by Z : April 1st hoax story.

Is your terror cell living in terror? Is your safe-house not so safe? If so, read the New York Times, the jihad journal.

  Offtopic?! Common people think! Slug + Salt = dead slug
  
  Plus it's even presented in a witty yet slightly obsucre Simpsons/Jimmy Buffet reference

Half life 3 is expected to be on an early release track, 3-4 weeks from now, following hot on the heels of Duke Nukem. At least today my quote on the bottom of the page was funny: Automobile, n.: A four-wheeled vehicle that runs up hills and down pedestrians.

"Mr. Crow is the ****." said Lead Designer Biff Cleszinski, "I mean seriously, who'd want to **** with an undead space clown with a giant codpiece, a hat made of human flesh and spiky blades of death on the end of each finger. He's the perfect villain, and makes the Skaarj queen look like a lovable little kitten."
OH HELL YEAH! Sign me up!

Okay, you clock him on his headpiece and knock his ass out cold. That's when phase two kicks in. I attack the structure Wolvie Berzerk style, and knock out the fuckin' pin and bickety bam, the motherfucker is rubble. Hence, no game show."

Unreal 3 was announced like half a year ago....

Or at least the engine was.
