Jeeez, it's gonna rock!

[DoomLurker]

Wow, thanx for the link. That does look abfab! Cant wait!

[Humus]

I downloaded the 42MB video too. Jeeeez ... it was awsome! This game is gonna rock! But I guess I'll have to change my gran' ol' G400 to something better to get smooth framerates ...

The latest Unreal engine looks utterly superb. I've been waiting for screenshots of the new terrain and character animation for ages so when these showed up it felt like Christmas. UT 2 isn't officially on the cards currently (as in they haven't announced it yet), although Epic are doing some kind of new Unreal game judging by the comments in that article. I mean, with visuals like that, how could they not.

UT runs actually very well on my p2 400 64mb ram + TNT, but i doubt that would... which brings up an interesting point: is it worth spending over let's say 600$ (well canadian) to be able to play a single game? I'm not so sure.. (i dont mean to bring up the console vs. pc thing again, but..) I could buy any console that i want, and a hell of alot of games for that amount. Sure they wouldnt be using the Unreal 2 engine, but is that such a loss?

Hmm..

UT2 looks really awesome, I can't wait till it comes out!

Ill pay.

We should mention that you dont really NEED to spend more cash on a better video card to play. You may need more cash to play it in 32 bit at 1600 x 1200 res but ordinary play is still possible.

Are you sure? at least for a decent play with this new engine? i'm not so sure

I think it will at least require a T&L unit.

Just looked at those terrain shots...I think I'm in love...I mean, U9 looked great (but the engine itself was not exactly, er, good) but this...whooooo...

[Sol]

The new terrain shots look good. I wonder if they will be able to compete with the TRIBES/TRIBES 2 terrain, which in my opinion is amazing.

[kman]

Man that is awesome. I gotta buy a radeon now.

[CTMorseJr]

I'm assuming that these upgrades will be available in "The Game of The Year Edition", but I really couldn't find a definitive answer to that question anywhere. I'll get it fer sure.

Unreal engine makes me want to set myself on fire right now. I get faster framerates in it with my old sli voodoo2s than I do with my new geforce2 mx.

I'm glad they're leaving the 3dfx centricity though.

My friend got the opengl drivers to work with his geforce 1, anyone else have good experiences with those? He manages to eek 70+ fps out of Deus Ex in 1024x768 with that, while I chug at 15 in d3d.
