Unreal Tournament 2007 renamed (119 comments)

( Major News: UT3)

Posted by Nicky @ 08:27 CST, 25 January 2007 - iMsg

According to CVG , Midway will rename UT2007 to

Unreal Tournament III, even though the upcoming shooter is the fourth game in the series.

"CVG has learnt that Midway and developer Epic will be announcing a slightly confusing name change for the hotly-anticipated Unreal shooter soon, possibly later today. We believe that the name change is to coincide with the game using the latest Unreal engine, cleverly dubbed Unreal Engine III."

Midway is currently holding a Gamers' Day press event in the US.

I think ut2003 should be dead and forgotten and ut2004 can be UT2 :D

Releasing UT2007 in the year 2007 makes it seem unmodern and unfashionable!

<< Comment #116 @ 06:12 CST, 27 January 2007 >>

Ezku - Reply to #92

I think he meant it literally - not that graphics are all there is to gameplay, but that graphics are an integral part of it. Anyone who understands the point in brightskins should also get this.

I did some digging to find the quote - to no avail, but I did find this:

[20:22] <North`> <Solaris-inc-> Does UT2k3 involve as fast-paced gameplay as UT has? ie. dodging, piston jumping, jumpboots, etc.? Games like Quake and HalfLife are just too slow-paced and boring :-/

[20:23] <XceptOne[DE]> Yes! UT2003 IS FAST action packed first person goodness!

I already lost all hopes for this, the basic idea of the game is ons on steroids(if you believe interviews with cliff or w/e his name is) , might as well call it Unreal Conquest for all I care..

Kind of stange tho, since the community (at least the majority except those #ut1 guys^^) rather called the first UT "ut99" (wasn't it released 2000 btw!? ^^) as well, and both other titles were offically named after the year of their release, but who cares :)
