Does anyone know if they are going to come out with an Xbox version? Just wondering if I will end up having to upgrade my video card or will I be able to squeak by with an Xbox with sub-par controls for an FPS.

Thanks.

That link was down for me, but I found these from google search.


Can anyone confirm if its the same images?

You've played it?

1. You don't NEED to play it to see that it's nothing you haven't seen a million times before.
2. Sorta. A very, very early build of the game got leaked out a year or 2 ago, and I played that. It was quite slow on my Voodoo5. :)

So half-life was basically the same game as Doom with better graphics. Of course in half-life the story line and game flow was awesome and the AI was much better than doom. Hopefully with Unreal II the story and flow of the game will kick butt and the AI will be greatly improved.

I think doom 3 already beat it to the graphics department, and i cant see how the gameplay is going to be revolutionary... but a sweet looking game none the less

I think it will revitalize it in gameplay...the only bad thing is that they said they were going to leave multiplayer out...I wonder if you will be able to mod it?

And to think I was once astonished at the graphics in Pitfall. (Old Atari 2600 game)

I disagree. Plenty of games look like they will be great, then turn out to be nothing special. Likewise, plenty of games look like they will be nothing special and then turn out to be great. I'll wait until I actually play the final build of the game to make judgements.

I think this is true of Metroid Prime. It looks like any old FPS but has garnered so much acclaim, it must be something special.

BTW CubicZ, the movie line in your sig is from The Scarlet Pimpernel, right?

I wonder if ATI will make a duel 9700 just to support that game on max res. Anyone have a 5ghz CPU to spare with 3GB of ram?

Geforce 2 GTS all the way for me man.

IIRC, the first Unreal had pretty immpressive graphics for its day, but was very lacking in the gameplay department. Hopefully they've taken that into consideration this time around.
