Unreal Tournament 2007 Wallpapers

hal · May 8, 2005

This is a bit of a mystery, since I have no idea where these came from or whether or not they are truly official, but they're simply stunning. GameWallpapers has three exclusive wallpapers that are labeled Unreal Tournament 2007 - mostly featuring Malcom, high-res weapons, and a nice shot of the new Goliath.

To back up the Unreal Tournament 2007 name, eToychest confirms, after speaking with a Midway rep, that Unreal Tournament 2007 will be shown behind closed doors this year at E3.(Thanks to Noah for the news!)

Like I said, since these didn't come through official channels, I can't confirm the authenticity of the art in any way though we'll definitely ask. You can also find more on the subject in this forum thread.

Bah. You gotta pay for that site. :tdown:

I am going to ****ing shank the the morons and there beloved pets at midway that thought UT2007 would be a good name for it. The UT xxxx naming scheme, to me, signifys a rough time for epic, when they produced some less than great games. They also signify a time when they tried to **** the community over by essenstally forcing us to buy a new game every year or slowly but exponentially force upon ourselves the ripping of the unreal community in half with each release.

Yeah, the Madden series has done such a good job of ripping their community in half, right? Why would this be any different?

You really do come up with some of the smelliest BS I've ever had to read, you know that?

Ignotium · May 8, 2005

Ok, so is fukin 2007 then

Anything UT/UEngine related is always welcome, whatever the name is.

are the madden games even online? if not, its a verry different type of community.

and, while its starting to change now, with stuff liek Xbox Live, traditionally console games like the madden series have been impossible to "patch". and every year, the rosters change, and need to be updated, hence, a new version.

i think with the UTXXXX thing, Epic was trying to turn UT into a "sports" game, since it is essentially one. and each year bring out a new version, with new/updated characters and stuff... but taht obviously hasnt sat too well with much of the UT community... while i believe it was a cool idea, it was also very flawed.

and i agree that stayign with the UTXXXX naming scheme is a bad idea. i like the codename "UT: Envy". while i dont think its the best name for retail, i like the idea of doing a similar name.

You need to read all of my post... more carefully.

Anyhoo, who gives a flying leap what the game is called? At least it's clear which is the newest version. I will admit to hoping that we'd see a more traditional naming scheme (Unreal Tournament 3) or the two-part name that's all the rage these days (Unreal Tournament: Conquest). But in the end, I don't believe it matters a whole lot.

ExiT · May 8, 2005

I think what people are concerned about is how the 200x naming scheme alludes to a 'sports theme' that many people find hokey and detracting from the overal game experience.

However, I trust Epic to build a solid game from the ground up, not expand on a biannual franchise.

It must be named UnrealTournament for sure, it's the official trademark and name and should not be confused with other names.....adding a digit number ot even the name Envy is okay,....for example..

UnrealTournament :: Envy
UnrealTournament :: 2007
UnrealTournament :: Modders Edition
UnrealTournament :: Series 3

OHHH MY GEEEEE LORD!!!! after looking at all 3 of the wallpapers, I must say, this game looks absolutely redonkulous. I could honestly give a **** or 2 less what they call the game after looking at those screens.

leafo · May 8, 2005

YES! This is amazing, I love the look of the rocket launcher, at least I think it is the rocket launcher. Another thing I noticed that is neat are the facial expressions, it seems that Malcom's face changes depending on the situation.

O.S.T · May 8, 2005

as long as they don't bring another UT one year later with a "lol! last years game sucked, heh? here's the real deal, 40euro again" it's fine with me
still I dislike the name

Anuban · May 8, 2005

Until I see an actual announcement from Epic I refuse to believe this. But that is just me so no need to flame please.

Matthew Leech · May 8, 2005

me too Anuban. I am not convinced untill i see an official confirmation...

hal · May 8, 2005

I third that notion. I tried to allude to that in the news post and I'm definitely going to try to contact someone at Epic tomorrow about it.

1) No official word on these.
2) Appearing on a GameWallpaper site.

Anyhow, they sure look freaking nice, so I'll enjoy them whether they are authentic or simply photochopped.

---------------------------------------------------------------///

So if they are trying to make a very new game why the heck would they stick to the current naming convention. No way that is true .. no way.

SiN-BiN · May 8, 2005

i fourth it.

I cant find anywhere they said that it was going to be called 2007.

# Races/Teams

* Necris (The white-skinned gothic and/or undead - depending upon who you ask - guys from the original UT)
* Nakhti (Originating from the UT2003 and UT2004 Anubans, this team is entirely Egyptian)
* Juggernauts (The gene-boosted monstosities from UT2003 and UT2004)
* The Corrupt (The team of Xan Kriegor's, who hails from UT and UT2004)
* Iron Guard (The original and now reinstated team of assassins, again headed by Lauren and Brock)
* Krall (The slave-race to the Skaarj, found in the original Unreal)
* Jakob's Team (Possibly Malcolm's ThunderCrash team from UT2004, though the name is unclarified)
* Custom Team: (The team a player will create in the Single Player ladder of Envy)

How wild is this .. Lauren and Brock are suddenly no longer Necris? But Nakhti's are being used? And no Malcolm ... so what really gives ... I am confused now ... UCII is a quasi bridge ... well now who knows what they are doing. I have no idea what UCII is anymore and how it relates to Envy or whatever it will be called.

So Xan is now back again but not in UCII .. this makes me think he WILL NOT be DLC for UCII. Woooaahhh. And no Skaarj now ... man I do not get this at all.

Malcom's back, I'm pretty sure. That's him in all of the promo shots. I think I remember seeing that he was sort of their "feature" UT player who was in all of the tournament games.
