Unreal 2 Screenshots

Is it me... or do the UT2 shots just... look like very little has changed from the original UT. I would expect something more doom3ish, right now they seem tribes2ish. :/

I highly doubt a 1.5MHz system can handle this. It looks fast when there are no players on the screen. But I can really imagine this becoming a slideshow once 10 players start going flamethrower happy.

dear god please, not another flamethrower!!

these look like they are all just shots from that leaked tech test everyone called the "leaked alpha"

Yeah, overall these screenshots are nice. Nothing to ridiculous in terms of polygon count. Hard to tell what kind of effects are going on. Everything on those shots could have a tasteful DOT3 or pixel shader and it would be hard to tell just by a static screenshot. I tend to think effects will be kept reasonable like Quake 3, though. Too bad those shadows in shot one are fake. =\

Hopefully they have a better animation system. Valve has been putting everyone to shame since Half-life was released, especially Unreal with its uber plastic-toy float-an-inch-off-the-ground-looking animations. Hey, at least Quake 3 models' legs pointed in the right direction when strafing. Hell, even MOHAA models look like fruit cakes frolicing around at the Moulin Rouge when strafing.

This is just some dude running around the Unreal Alpha tech demo leaked half way through last year taking pictures.

I'm not really digging the weapon models, they seem to cubic / geometric ~ if you examine some of the shots where the handgun is drawn, it looks as though the hand (holding the gun) is wearing a hockey glove........The game will be undoubtedly great, but it looks as though it still needs some refinement.

Alot of these shots remind me alot of Codename: Outbreak, which is a good thing, but something tells me the levels in this won't be anywhere as non-linear. I hope I'm wrong about that though.

you can tell there old anyway, no real time shadow implementation in these screens...

How many can you spot that are doctored in Photoshop!

I predict UnrealII will be "teh rock". In fact I'm almost excited about it!

whoop whoop
