UT Nostalgia

I installed some old games a couple weeks ago. UT 2004, already had UT installed. I have UT 2003, but haven’t installed yet. People seem to like the original UT best, but this seems like a good time to do a sociological study. After that… the oral sex.

What if the first game introduced was 2004? Then 2003 comes out. Of course that wouldn’t be what they are named, but let’s assume the 2004 gameplay was introduced first, then 2003 gameplay, etc., then, finally, UT. Would you think that UT was lame compared to the 2004 and 2003? Would you say with UT that these graphics are lame, the game physics are lame, the levels suck ass, etc?

I’m not sure how ‘plastic’ the game looks with the newer UT, but I do know that the detail is nice now that I can crank everything up to max. I bought parts for a new PC last week and installed UT 2004 and UT 2003 and cranked both up to max levels with the graphics. The detail is sweet.

I wonder if the new UT will ever get anywhere, but it sounds interesting. I think one of the downers for me with the newer UTs (10+ years ago) was the learning curve. Not DM or Cap the Flag, but some of the other stuff seemed to take time to get a good feel for what you should do to master the games and by then I got bored and didn’t have enough enthusiasm to stick with the game.
