Related Topics – Unreal Tournament 2003, CliffyB

There is a pretty lenghty Unreal Tournament 2003 Q&A, with Pancho Eekels of Digital Extremes and Epic's CliffyB on hand to answer questions about this multiplayer shooter sequel. There are questions about the contents of the demo, the addition of special moves, system requirements, what they've been working on since E3, why Epic decided to take over development, graphic improvements and much more. Five new screenshots are included with the interview.

WTF is this stuff about "recently added" dynamics with lights and hanging meat hooks? How recently did they add this? I actually believe now what people were saying about this game going back in the oven because of the Doom video.

Quake3: Arena > UT2003

Judging from the screenshots, it doesn't look groundbreaking.

I don't know what is keeping them with the demo, there has been TWO beta leaks, and they are HARDLY beta, the amount of content that is located within them is probably almost final (~60 maps) so there should be NO reason a demo has taken MORE THAN 2 months past the projected release date (I don't know where we heard MAY) but after hearing MR say everytime "2 weeks away" i'm ready to throw my UT-fanboyism out the window, this is just turning into utter bullshit

"When you get to the end (or near the end) of a project, there's a lot of tweaking, bug fixing, and last-minute adjusting that goes on that's difficult to do when the people working on the project are 2,000 miles apart, so it was taking a little longer than expected. And just around the corner is the Xbox Live launch, and we definitely want to be there with Unreal Championship. Too much to do, too little time. So we collectively had to make some tough decisions. "

Wonder what corners they cut to get to the xbox live stuff.

gotta love how that article starts off,
"No other PC game has caused as much of a stir in the last few months as Digital Extremes and Epic Games' Unreal Tournament 2003."

um. maybe doom3?

and dont start bitching about release dates. doom 3 HAS caused more of a stir. and thats my only point. thank you.

Cliff Bleszinski: If I gave you an estimate, it would probably be wrong. It seems like, in this business, the better you are at making games, the worse you tend to be at predicting when they'll be done

I think if I have to wait anymore for this game I am going to lose interest. Hype Hype Hype Hype Hype! Sometimes I wish they wouldn't tell us anything about a game until the demo is released and the release version is in sight.
