News: UnrealEngine (Archiv) - Portal - Die Unreal Tournament 3 ( 2007 ) / 2004 / Unreal Engine Games Community

10.11.2003

Der Lead Designer bei Digital Extremes, James Schmalz, wurde von GlobeTechnology.com anlässlich des 10-jährigen Jubiläums von DE interviewed. Heraus kam dabei zum Beispiel folgendes:

quote:
Q: You came from the shareware days, and the days when one person could make a game on their own. Do you ever get nostalgic for those days?

A: I love the idea, and it's still doable today, it just depends on what game you want to make. I think there's just as much success available to somebody who's creative and dedicated to make a "Lone Wolf" type game. You're not going to make it for the PlayStation 2, you're not going to make it for the Xbox, but I'm sure you could make it for the PC. Maybe for the Game Boy. Or a Web-based game. It depends on what you want to accomplish.

Tribes Vengeance Interview

09.11.2003

Auf Gamer's Pulse wurden Ed Orman, der Lead Designer und Tony Oakden, der Producer bei Irrational Games für euch interviewed. Natürlich stand kein geringeres Spiel als Tribes III: Vengeance im Mittelpunkt des Gesprächs.

quote:
GP: How far along into the development cycle is the title currently?

TO: We are about two thirds of the way through development. We are almost at the stage where we have all the missions for the single player campaign in first pass form and all the core gameplay systems are in place. All that remains is to mix all the ingredients up to make a fun game! That?s easier said than done but we?ve left a lot of time at the end of the schedule for balancing and play testing so we expect the game to kick ass by the time it ships. Multiplayer is actually further on than single player as we do not have to wait for the AI to be complete before testing can begin.

Scariest PC Games ever

03.11.2003

VoodooExtreme.com hatte passend zu Halloween einen netten Artikel verfasst, der sich mit den schaurigsten PC-Spielen befasst, die es jemals gab. Neben Alone in the Dark, X-Com: UFO Defense, Resident Evil (mein erstes Horrorspiel), Half-Life (harmlos), Aliens vs. Predator, System Shock 2, Alice, Silent Hill 3 und dem kommenden Doom 3 (keine Frage, dass das gruselig wird) hat es auch Clive Barker's Undying (als einziges UnrealEngine-Spiel

) geschafft in die Liste der Scariest PC Games Ever aufgenommen zu werden:

quote:
Clive Barker has long been a master of horror. Not only has he written countless books, but he's also directed some stomach turning terror flicks for the big screen. So it was only a matter of time before he dipped his claws into a new medium. Clive Barker's Undying was a masterful piece of horror action set at the turn of the 20th century.
The island manor itself is creepy as hell, but when you start hearing strange noises, seeing grisly scenes from past demonic rituals, and battling denizens of the house that have sold their soul for a little slice of power, you're in for one hell of a scary ride. This is one truly scary and quality game.

LineAge II - Interview

01.11.2003

Auch zum MMORPG LineAge II gibts ein neues Interview mit NCSoft. Zu verdanken haben wir das Interview der Fansite LineAge II Warcry.

quote:
WarCry: Will there be a full karma system like in Lineage 1?
NCSoft: Yes. Though it does work slightly differently than the original system. Karma cannot be increased above zero, but unlawful actions (such as PKing) can decrease your karma into chaotic range.

Neues Ultima Interview

01.11.2003

Es gibt wieder ein nettes Interview mit Rick Hall zu Ultima X: Odyssey. Finden könnt ihr es auf GameSpot.com.

quote:
GS: Give us a rundown of the game's magic system. What elements of Ultima Online, if any, will it incorporate?

RH: Please keep in mind that we are not trying to re-create Ultima Online. UO still has a very strong player base, and there are no plans to shut it down. The intent of UXO is to provide a fundamentally different play experience that happens to be set in the Ultima universe.

Auf der offiziellen Ultima X - Site gibts außerdem neue Screenshots und Wallpapers!

Ultima X: Odyssey - Interview

26.10.2003

Und noch ein interessantes Interview gibts bei HomeLAN, und zwar mit Rick Hall, dem Game Producer bei Origin:

quote:
HomeLAN - What new gameplay features have been added to the game since the press event in August?

Rick Hall - Since the event in August we've added in guild creation and management features, item imbuing, better party controls, even more dynamic questing and a web-based login server. We've also made a few changes to the combat system. It's still very similar to the combat system people saw at the event in San Francisco, but some of the feedback we got from the players enabled us to refine it even further.

Postal 2 MP-Screenshots

26.10.2003

Von Postal 2 wird ja bekanntlich derzeit ein Multiplayerableger mit dem Namen 'Postal 2: Share The Pain entwickelt. Das Spiel soll noch im November in die Läden kommen (wenn es nicht vorher schon indiziert wird

). Besitzer vom SinglePlayer Postal 2 können sich die Multiplayererweiterung kostenlos downloaden.
Boomtown.net konnte davon jetzt 4 exklusive Screenshots erhaschen.
Der Entwickler Running With Scissors hat folgendes dazu zu sagen:

quote:
All my sadistic dreams have now come true. Players can now choose to play against each other as a variety of characters, including a gun-toting Gary Coleman, a PVC suited S&M gimp, a torturous Taliban terrorist or our very own POSTAL DUDE, sobbed a spent Chris Warrender, publishing director of POSTAL 2 publisher, Whiptail Interactive.
