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!

Jay: "First you take a run at La Fours with a sock full of quarters. I'd do it, but I pulled my back at humping your mom last night. Neetch. 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."

And it looks very sweet.

"Since this was republished with a straight face by several news sites,
including the revered Slashdot, it seemed to be legitimate at first."

Epic announced the next UT days before. Those diappointed today will still get their next Unreal game.
