I converted those shots to fit nicely as loading screens just for the heck of it.
I love that 'action' shot, it promises to be good!

So his spine is no longer snapped then or they created a way to fix it totally .. I don't get it. But yeah D'oh he is in all the pics as well but they are calling the team 'Jacob's team' and Brock and Lauren are now Iron Guards? I really don't understand wth is going on. Do they get saved at the end of UCII is that the big surprise?

I really think these are definately not legit wallpapers, Malcolm and the other charecter in the firdst shot have total different lighting on them, he jsut been pasted in from another shot, personally i think if it was official than the effort would be a little more than that, and then that black halo behind UT2007, its just hte 2k4 halo, do you really think they would have it so much the same, as well as same font for UNREAL and TOURNAMENT. Definately did not come from within epic in my personal opinion

Maybe someone at Epic forgot to take notes.
oh who cares about a not so perfect name or story line, did those things ever happend in UT till now?
as long it has pwitty graphics, new features in action, modes, weapons and the whole asset im sure i'll be hooked on it as it prolly will be another addicting shooter

See the top point. And the other 10% could be wallpapers they buy from other wallpaper sites.GameWallPapers.com said:
...but then again that does mean there's still a small chance that these are official.
There is still a good chance that they've buffed up some shiznit for the E3 doodah. Say they've knocked up a playable level and some vehicles to knock about - it's far from a completed game but considering it can be tech demo levels, models and limited mapping it's perfectly feasable that these could be shots that have broken an NDA
Hmm. Yeah E3 is around the corner and that might hint to an official announcement of the game(s) epic is working on. I'm sure they have got some working stuff, remember the drivethrough level on video some time ago?
Well that is that ... as hard is it for me to believe ... man ... it is true
http://www.beyondunreal.com/main/future/ut2007.php
I am just stunned because I thought this was going to be a "very different game" and to me logically that would mean a break from previous naming conventions as well to really show the different direction that is being taken ... but now I don't know just how "different" it will be from UT2003 and UT 2004.
I am personally disappointed because it shows lack of creativity. For years now it has been tied to a year ... why not be bold and tie it to the engine used? But I have been wrong before I and in all likely hood I will be wrong again. Darn it I just don't like that name for a completely next generation game with a completely new and overhauled engine. But of course I support Epic and wil be porting HaloUT to HaloUT07 .. I've got to come up with something better than that.

I agree.hal said: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.
As for the series of the titles, I don't remember seeing the storyline lately, and where each game falls in the timeline. I bet that the storyline works somehow (even though there certainly are alot of plotholes since alot of the story has never been explored by Epic, namely the Skaarj War).

Gamewallpapers just steals images form the net, makes a wallpaper outta em', slaps "exclusive" on it and charges you for it. I can't believe in any way shape or form that these are 'official" wallpapers.
Clawfist said:now who's porting over halo again?
Actually the port is taking a great deal of creativity ... more than you can imagine and MS likes the changes we have made ... they see it which is what counts to me. Plus the CXP is chockfull of original work ...
Anyway this is about a company with Millions of dollars and the backing of a billion dollar publisher so I see that as a bit different. And anyway it may not even be true after all.

By now of course we know those wallpapers do in fact use official content.
Of course they could've still been made by somebody not-Epic (lots of promotional material for game companies is), but even then the content is official.
UC2 is about 10 years after UT2007 if I remember correctly, so nobody reverted to an earlier state, you just didn't play the games in the chronological order story-wise.
Malcolm will probably appear, since... well, he's Malcolm.
Of course Epic did make renders of Selket in UE3 as well, but those were for promotional purposes, a test case; but she can't appear, because she never fought in the Tournament according to UC2.
I don't see any reason for Xan not to appear in UC2 actually.
The same goes for Skaarj in UT2007... we'll just have to wait.
Spine... see above.
Jacob... he won UT2004, so I suppose that and Malcolm's temporary retirement would be a good reason for him to become the new leader.
Brock and Lauren used to be Iron Guard in UT, they never changed uniforms for UT2003/4, so I suppose they went back to their old team for a bit.
No idea why.
Of course later on in UC2 Malcolm fights again, enlists Brock and Lauren, now both Necris for Thunder Crash, as well as Anubis who's a Nakthi.
I suppose the future Thunder Crash will be a mixed bag of people.
It was mentioned on Epic's official forums a while back, the order of the games anyway.
It's:
Unreal II - The Awakening
Unreal
Unreal Tournament (Current champion Xan is defeated by Malcolm.)
Unreal Tournament 2003 / Unreal Championship (Current champion Malcolm is defeated by Gorge.)
Unreal Tournament 2004 (Current champion Gorge is defeated by Jacob.)
Unreal Tournament 2007
Unreal Championship 2 - The Liandri Conflict (Anubis wins the Ascension Rites and becomes the Nakhti emperor.)
Of course they could've still been made by somebody not-Epic (lots of promotional material for game companies is), but even then the content is official.
Anuban said: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.

Those are interesting ideas ... that's all I can say ... who said Jakob beat Malcolm in UT2004; where is that ... if you spectate a bot match between the two on any map Malcolm owns him. And how can I play them in order when one is not even out yet and won't be for two years? But okay. How is UC2 ten years after Envy when Macolm has been champion for all these years ... and you still didn't explain Lauren and Brock to me very well ... oh well it is just a crazy game with a crazy story ... all of a sudden there are no Anubans after two years in the tournaments and now they are replaced by the Nakhti ...
You know what ... I'll just wait for the Epic explanation .. when and if it ever comes. But thanks for taking a stab at this for me.
Edit: This makes no sense ... UC2 clearly says that Malcolm has been champion for some 11 years.
Unreal Tournament 2003 / Unreal Championship (Current champion Malcolm is defeated by Gorge.)
Unreal Tournament 2004 (Current champion Gorge is defeated by Jacob.)
Unreal Tournament 2007
Unreal Championship 2 -
Gorge didn't beat Malcom back in UT2003 and I refuse to believe Jakob can beat Malcolm ... I can destroy Jakob without hardly any effort on Godlike while Malcolm puts up one hell of a fight.
Malcolm is THE boss character in UT2K3 and UT2K4 so I just can't believe that and if Epic stands by that then they sure created Malcolm far to well because he owns any other bot in a 1v1 bot match on any map. I use logic like a Vulcan.

It makes more sense, chronologically. Unreal 2 doesn't make sense being before Unreal 1, IIRC, because I think Unreal 1 referred to the fact that no one knew who the Skaarj were in that game. Could be wrong, though, I suppose.
As for Malcolm being the champion for 11 years blah blah blah...if UC2 is ten years after UT2007/Envy, then there's ten of them.

In additon to what Blaaguuu said, this is a PC game, if they keep releasing a new UT every year, and with the way things are headed with graphics, we would need to do a major upgrade our computers every time a new UT is released.Nemephosis said:

Scroll down until you see a post by Epic's Entropy (Jim Brown), Lead Designer, which you can easily recognise by the name in red and the custom Epic avatar.
I think UT2007 might mention how Jacob won UT2004.
Also I never said Jacob beat Malcolm.
Considering the way the Tournament works with the random draws deciding who fights who, Jacob could've ended up against somebody else than Malcolm, obviously a good Tournament contestant.
Also I assume Jacob is one of the Thunder Crash team, but truthfully I don't remember exactly who he is, and I can't start the game at the moment...
If Gorge breaks Malcolm's spine after UT2004 I can imagine Malcolm putting the Tournament winner in control of Thunder Crash, at least during his absence.

Lead Designer sounds about as official Epic explanation as possible.
Anuban said:
Actually I think he was champion that amount of times, which doesn't necesarily mean that amount of years.
I'm nut sure though.

Well, see above.
It's very possible the bots' individual skills don't match the story, especially since Epic makes up the story as they go.

I pretty much stopped going there simply because there are way too many threads.
I used to read, at least race through them all, so... I suppose I could simply stop doing that and go there like I do other boards, but if the flaming is as bad as you say, I don't feel particularly inclined.
Unreal 2 does make some sense, because of the Izarians, never heard of in later (story-wise) games, as opposed to for instance the Krall.
Also the universe, the feel is very different, the different companies seem to be bigger, as opposed to later in the stories when Liandri is pretty much omnipotent.
The weapons are based on things like depleted uranium as opposed to tarydium.
Actually I wonder if U2 was supposed to be before Unreal from the beginning, but it works.
In UC2 Malcolm and the Skaarj Szalor talk, and they mention the Skaarj Queen was killed by a human at the end of the war.
I think it was just you, the prisoner, and perhaps the entire staff of the prison ship that never picked up on the Skaarj very well, since they were so busy transporting prisoners and everything.
I didn't finish Unreal yet, so I don't know.
