I get manuals, CD cases, the exact same slew of games, and oh yeah; THE FRIGGIN' ABILITY TO RESELL THE GAMES WHEN I'M GOOD AND DONE WITH THEM!!!!!!!

UT3 will be and has already been in the bargain bin. I imagine you could walk way with everything for $10-$20 less than Steam's pricing and you could resell what you bought down the road if you wished to.

Do people still play Unreal Tournament (the original)? That's the game that broke me into online multiplayer gaming. And I have to agree with the above poster. I love the convenience of Steam, but absolutely hate that you cannot resell your games. If there is a choice to buy a retail copy, that's what I buy.

If they removed UT3 and just made it everything else for $25 I'd be all over it.

Thankfully yes. Oddly enough many people still play CS 1.6 too. Lord knows how many hours I've put into those two games.

is there any value in the single player campaigns of these games? Im not a multiplayer person at all and I noticed that some of these games are single player or have single player missions.

I love Steam and am happy that the library continues to grow but the prices for most games are still too high compared to what you can find at gogamer, ebay..etc. Its not valve's fault though as they don't set the prices. Where are epic's pre-unreal games?

If you haven't bought Unreal Gold, buy it ASAP. One of the best games ever made and the gogamer price on it is really good. That pack also includes the expansion for Unreal and Unreal II. It's worth it at that price just for the single player games, which are amazingly well done and in total nearly 50 levels.

The Unreal franchise has gotten a bad name with the release of UT3. Every Unreal game before that has been excellent, starting with the original Unreal which is probably superior to all the rest.

I think Epic should stop making multiplayer games and just focus on single player. That seems to be their strength.

It doesnt say Unreal Gold on the for the Unreal Anthology pack. It does say Unreal 1 with Return to Na Pali Expansion pack so Im guessing that is the same as the Unreal Gold game??

 

[Bateluer]

I was tempted until I saw that Gogamer URL. Good that the Steam library continues to expand though.

The Unreal series is an historic franchise. Good to see them on Steam, even though I don't really like buying Steam games unless I have to (i.e. Half-Life 2, etc). That said, I picked up the Unreal Anthology for $10 off of Amazon.com a month back - better deal plus you get the box art, soundtrack disc, and the ability to re-sell (I probably won't sell it, but still it's nice knowing that you can). Buying a game digitally off Steam seems like throwing money into a black hole - no resell value.

I'd like to have UT2 just to complete the collection. I played the demo, but didn't particularly care for it, I have every other iteration(PC) of Unreal though, so I might as well complete the collection.

It's the same thing.

 

[onlyCOpunk]

Only good thing this might bring is more sales of UT3, thus making the community larger.

LOVE UT3 - on another note, 37-38 F*cking threads 'steam.exe' uses!?!?! what the hell! excuse me, where do i file a complaint about this, geeeze - anyways - GO UT!!!

 

[videogames101]

Steam still rapes in every aspect =)

(no sarcasm, steam is amazing...)

I second that :beer:

Steam has its benefits too, you know. Like, if you don't live in a huge apartment and have room to store boxes, manuals and discs for every game. Also, if your house burns down and turns all your physical media into a molten plastic blob (or if you just scratch a disc, or lose it), you don't need to go buy a new copy of the game, you just download again and start playing.

Anyway, everyone should play Unreal and Return to Na Pali... truly landmark games.

I like steam. Half my game collection is on Steam. In fact, last night I put steam on my Vista64 box which had been EVE-Online and Hellgate only. Had DoD:S installed in less than an hour fully updated etc. Boxes are so 2005.

 

[Genx87]

I buy most of my games through Steam. I hate having discs, boxes, and manuals laying around. Half the time I lose them anyways which means I have to rebuy or never play again. With Steam I can get the game in an hour or so with a download whenever I want.

After reading the article on TG daily with Tom Sweeney, i think its the right m0ve to focus on the console wars at this next time. Seems he alone is just working on the UT4 engine and will expand the engineering team later on down the road. UT3 he's saying still has alot of life left in it, scales well with more cores... I don't think he's turning his back in the pc area yet, we'll see. But what i got from the articles is that he is making a statement to the affect that the PC hardware industry needs to get their stuff together instead of these ultra high end machines only offering a 30% increase in performance, and that is what it seems its doing with games potentially headed towards being ran in software rendering mode, cpu's and gpu's possibly being on the same chip...

i don't know, i could have this all wrong. it was a good article(s) to read

EDIT: sry to get off topic about this

YES-- people still play UT99 online greedily. In fact, there's an active community of regular weapons CTF players who like to play spontaneously-organized pickup games (PUG) matches. Go to http://www.GoTeamspeak.com and install the voice comm program Teamspeak 2 and then come to this IRC server and these channels:

irc.GameRadius.net
#speedpug
#mlut
#thebrothel

There are a couple other channels, some of which are invite-only. Your best bet is to start at #speedpug since the folks will be friendlier and more tolerant of noobs.

The problem with UT3 is that everything that surrounded the excellent game play was bad--user interface, server browser, structure of the files in the game folders, etc, awful demo, a buggy beta sold as a retail version of the game, etc.

To save the UT franchise, perhaps Epic should release a UT4 that would combine both a stand alone single player campaign like the original Unreal (dispensing with the multiplayer game modes) and the multiplayer game with the same feel and gameplay as UT99 or even UT3 (Deathmatch, Capture-the-Flag, Warfare/Onslaught and a couple more game types. Of course, it would also need a user interface and server browser that was up to UT 2004 standards. If they could do that, the game would be a hit on the PC, but don't hold your breath.
