Unreal 2 Preview

Aug 08, 2001 9:16pm CST tags: Unreal 2
There's a new Unreal 2 preview on Gamespot tonight. There was some Infogrames press day where the Legend game was shown. The author pretty much gives a run down of what was shown in the press demo, with info on creatures, weapons, missions and more

As such, Unreal II will have some gaming conventions that people don't really associate with action games--conventions like text trees, for example. But Unreal II won't be an adventure game in any sense of the word. Powers said that the varied missions will include stealth-based levels, hostage rescue, bomb defusal, and squad-based combat. Some levels will even force you to defend a base from oncoming attackers by manning different stationary weapons and giving out orders to other marines to do the same. And while Unreal II will largely be a single-player game, it will have a sizeable multiplayer component. In addition to deathmatch and capture-the-flag maps, Unreal II will have a mode called expanded multiplayer or XMP

PC.IGN also has some impressions.
