Epic needs to start finishing up games not starting new projects and teams. They already spread themselves too thin and the quality of games that come out of it shows. Nothing they release is spectacular or awe inspiring. UT2003? Welcome to the world of quake3 graphics guys. How many delays has Unreal2 been through? Anyways I'm probably coming off as a anti-Epic prick but on the contrary I've probably played Unreal and UT more than anyone on this board. I just really hate to see a company I thought was really cool turning into a money first games second kindof company. Ya ya thats the way economy works but in the end it could be thier downfall if the quality starts sinking to new lows.
