Final Unreal Patch

This is good of them to release the patch, naysayers STFU

Unreal was amazing in single player - incredible water - good gfx and a nice game

DM online is fine with a patch.
The bots rock - sniping 500 heads off an hour is unbeatable

As for the FUCKHEAD who said Q2 Rules Q1 sucks and Q3 sucks and Doom sucks, hello
HELLO
mc fly - get the fuck OUT of the house....

I dont think ANY other game would respect that call at all.

The "average" seems to be.
Doom 1 & 2 (perfection)
Quake 1 great
Q2 good MP, bad single
Q3, sellout mutherfucking re-hashed shit.

and I personally dont think Q1 was that good either, it had SOME atmosphere (romero's touch? shrug) - Q2 had less atmosphere and Q3 IS just like playing an engine with half a game tacked on.

Daggah did the doom community allow you to tell the shack about this patch?

I still think this is the nicest looking FPS in existance, so far as level design goes. The Water God levels, the Dark Arena, and Bluff Eversmoking in particular was fantastically atmospheric.

69, yeah, the best number, and it's almost answers as many questions as 42 :)

This v226 patch is pretty solid. I just played some multiplayer, and the network code is definitely Unreal Tournament network quality, which is pretty phenomenal. The weapons in my opinion are still far too weak, the movement too slow, and the maps not solid enough (in terms of deathmatch maps) for the game to be regarded as having a solid deathmatch aspect. But then again, anyone looking for Unreal style gameplay has Unreal for co-op gameplay, and Unreal Tournament for deathmatch gameplay. Being a Q3A player, I may not "personally" like the Unreal style of weapons or movement, but I can surely appreciate the tremendous quality factor that went into the creation of Unreal and Unreal Tournament. Although my personal preference is still to Quake/Q2/Q3A, if I were to do a review of the games, Unreal Tournament would undoubtedly score higher than Q3A, simply because of the quality factor and the money value that consumers are getting with so much content. My suggestion for Shack readers is to form your own opinion rather than basing it on a bunch of biased idiots who have likely never played the game, or never gave it a chance. Good job Epic Megagames!

Actually, now may be the time for me to actually go out and buy Unreal. :)

Well, time to pose the old question:
Does this mean the demo is coming out soon?

59: Me getting influence by other shark guys...

Shut up, Daggah... eh... who is he anyhow?
ok... Shut up, yes4me :)

SHUT UP TIM STUMP

Uh.. wait, wrong person.

Whooohooooooo, time to install Unreal again, and play some co-op multiplayer!!

--Valiance--

Unreal original smoked...for the first half hour or so...

42: Typing as an anon because u are soo scared people will reconize you or because u r lazy is also a POS idea. But that's just my idea... actually I am quite lazy too... I didn't upgrade the haxor program yesterday because... I wanted so badly to play Diablo2. :(

OMG... Got to go back to work... ohhhh... my boss is here ... me camping... oops... hidding... I mean working. :)

Unreal looked really good when I first got the game... sure it got worse as you progressed through the game, but compared to Quake 2 single player and stuff, I thought it was better.

AND it was hella smooth on my Voodoo2 and my later on Voodoo3.

Sux now on my TNT2u tho.

However the good thing is that making Unreal really teach Epic to make a better game like my current favorite 3D shooter UT.

Right after my favorite is still Q1... and after Q3 or SOF. All other games don't even turn me on.

This game Unreal really made me sick after the one hour testing... I had to leave the computer for a full day after that... The last time I got such problem of 3D sickness (what is correct word already?), it was when playing SOF for 2 hours.

UT never make me sick so far.
Q1 did at the begining maybe because I was not used to it.

One of the great moments in my personal gaming history (which dates back to Atari pong/combat days) was getting off of the crashed prison ships, and seeing the waterfall. That level, at the time, was stunning, even if the framerates weren't the best. I never have played through the whole game, because after the first couple of levels, it just got lame, but the first time off the ship was very memorable.

DM wasn't too bad, either, after they fixed the netcode, and added in Direct3D support.

Unreal good? You guys opinions... is fine with me. Still I will always consider Unreal the old version of daikatana. It is a bad game where bots shoot at 100%, where the framerate is more deadly than the bots, the sounds sucks, ... actually everything sucks. When Unreal cames out, I still played Q1 over Q2 which is way over Unreal.

I did try Unreal for one hour, but do you remember the weapons? They were so |=UX3|>. I am really sorry but when I wrote POS, I just couldn't find a worse word...

Unreal is POS. Period. MAking the last patch for something so lame should not been even considered. UT on the other hand is much much better.

Shutup Daggah.

Heh, well I guess Steve just made a fool out of me. Not that it's hard to do or anything...

#13, you're right. Argh, I need some caffeine right damn now! I love house shopping for a day almost as much as I love stabbing needles into myself.

upped the story. obviously not due to the relevance to # of people who actually still have Unreal1 installed and read this page. But more due to a 'wow they actually did it' kind of thing.

I have unreal installed!
Only because I saw it at EB in the $8.99 bin. I figured "hey, I like UT, and I remember hearing about unreal when it came out... what the hell, it's only 9 bucks."

It's not a bad single player experience. It really sets the mood well, and I love how it flows.

That being said, the textures are blurry as hell. I may need to adjust something in advanced setup or something, but man, it really sucks how i have it now.

ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?

I wish Valve would have the balls to put out a final patch on HalfLife, instead of using all the CounterStrike fans as testers for their ghey netcode.

Cheers,
Raziel

I am apesh1t

"Here at Epic, we make good on our promises. Kind of. Unless we have a new game.

P.S. The demo is still coming!"

"Thanks Daggah."

i'm going to go out on a limb and assume steve's reply email to him was something roughly along the lines of:

"SHUT UP DAGGAH!"

pup (the game is $9.99, and people still want a demo?!?!)

OMG, they actually did it!

Now people can't whine about not having the final Unreal patch.

Unreal is an old game, like Half-Life. The difference is that Half-Life is still played by thousands of gamers, unlike Unreal or say Q2.

It's nice to see someone finally finished the job though.

Heh, I forgot about Unreal..Diakatana doesn't look so bad now. GOD, UT is shit.

Thanks Steve!!!!!!!! I WUV YOOOOOOU! :)~

I LOVED the intro prison level (got to fry the guy in the chair) plus those screams and stuff added with the fire and steam (big deal 2 years ago) and then when you stepped out of that prison-craft thingy and saw that beautiful waterfall with the birds circling above.

Man, back then it was specatular. I just couldnt get into the goofy looking monsters and wacky weapons and such. However the graphics and environments made me grab some Kleenex, back then.

hmmm
quake2 isnt played any more? says who?
*grabs rail gun and starts up quake pong*
most people that played unreal on line....
50....
hheh
btw i used my unreal cd for a clay pidgeon.. (trap shootin)

This is so cool. The game is finally fixed. I'm not even sure if I have Unreal anymore. If I do I'll sure try it this weekend.
