May 3, 2014 / MauL / Comments Off

Holy crap I did not see this coming. Mark Rein tweeted that the future will be revealed on May 8th!!! Cough, cough, I think I feel like I’m coming down with something… on May 8th…

Another tweet from Epic’s Paul Meegan is extremely interesting. “UE4 Dev Community + Epic. The future of Unreal Tournament,” he tweeted. I’m almost wondering if they got spooked by Open Tournament. Are they wanting to join forces with OT?? Who knows, I guess we’ll find out next Thursday!

I love #UnrealTournament – So excited for the comeback! https://t.co/r6Off7DvcM More next week! pic.twitter.com/w4AvpiUkox

In another tweet from Epic’s Paul Meegan:

UE4 Dev Community + Epic. The future of Unreal Tournament.

Open Tournament: Movement Comparison

April 16, 2014 / MauL / Comments Off

Numb.51 of the Open Tournament team has posted an interesting video showing some movement characteristics of the current build along with early images of his Deck remake. In the video, he compares UT, UT2004, and UT3.

From a forum post in the Unreal Engine forums, Numb.51 states:

This video shows a comparison of every iteration of Unreal Tournament’s movement system with Open Tournament. Mainly we increased the gravity scale since we decided to include dodge jumping. Dodge jumping in UT2k4 was floaty and caused the game to be hit-scan dominant. Hopefully UT2k4’s movement and UT3 weapons will make a great game play experience.
