Hmm...I asked you, but i didnt said my opinion. Well, i, like the majority, would prefer an Unreal game. Like Unreal 2, multiplayer could have vehicles, and have a good slice of what ut is.
About the storyline... this is something i have been thinking in my free time for years:
The Unreal Universe has 3 big wars on his history.
The Strider Wars, on whose i dont remember who was facing the human.
The Skaarj Wars, and the Necris Wars... (who begun precisely on UT3, with the necris attaking the Earth).
Every moment, could be a good one to set a dramatic history with big battle events and a set of main characters, like Gears of War. I mean. They have big events on all of them.
And lately i have been thinking there could be an Unreal game, whose plot could develope the story that is told on the first unreal tournament game´s intro.
The story could be like this:
Humanity is exploring the universe and new worlds. The governaments simply doesnt have enough money to achive space exploration, due to financial crisis, so private sector take the control, and send ships to space. They make profit achieving to explote natural resources on other planets under the rule of: the one who first arrive to a new planet, gains the rights of his resource explotation. Certain corporations like liandri and others has luck, and arrieves to planets who make them gain billions in profit, and they finally are more powerful than governaments. ...you know, people only follow the one who pays the bills and employe them... so thats the end of the past governaments...
But the bad side is taht, in space, under no legislation, they screw human rights almost enslaving their miners. Finally the liandri corporation gain more money and build more spaceships, and on deep space, they find an space alien ship, (a necris one), for the first time with technology to make respawners, and they think they have found what humanity has been lokking for always,... the key to inmortality.
The liandri learns how to produce them, but they re very expensive to make.
There is a war, between liandri and his miners, because at first, respawners are very big and so expensive that only millonaires can achieve them, and every people (also the workers) wants to be inmortal. Is a war of course, of the rich people versus the poor, for triying to achieve the technology who could make them to live forever. At first, Liandri and his security forces are winning, because on his side, anyone who dies can respawn, an on the miner side they doesnt have respawners. At last, a warrior who fights for the miners is so good at combat who defeat continiously the enemies until the energy of the respawners are depleted (this is the main character). In the last chapter, this warrior menaces to kill the entire liandri corporation, if they doesnt share the respawner with everibody, and liandri promises to do it, when the technology gets cheaper and can make the respawners more affordable to produce. Then the hero is fooled, and ultimately even corrupted by them, to work for them, in the creation of the tournament, to have the miners controled by his exhibitions and the promise they will make respawners for all. The name of the hero is Xan Kriegor.
