More details on the next Unreal Engine 3 powered Unreal Tournament game have surfaced, taken from the May 2005 issue of Computer Gaming World magazine.
If you missed our earlier report on the details of UT "Envy" that are emerging (including details of the massive new "Conquest" gametype), you can click here to view it.
We've also posted four screenshots from the article. Links can be found at the bottom of the list below...
General
"Envy" is Epic's code name for the next UT.
Expect UT2004's "bounciness" to be toned down in the next
UT.
The double-jump is back.
It is possible that "Envy" will not be called "Unreal
Tournament 2006" or "Unreal Tournament 2007".
Vehicles
Nine 'Axon' vehicles taken from UT2004: ECE
The Scorpion buggy now comes with an XMP-style rocket booster, as
well as an 'eject' button which turns it into a self-destructing bomb.
Scorpion now features Rocket Launchers instead of UT2004's energy
web.
Goliath tank may feature destructable treads this time around.
Nine new Necris vehicles
Weapons

Flak Cannon

Quotes
"Actually, we don't think 2K4 was very successful [...] It
wasn't a bad game... I just wish it could have been a better game than
it was." - Steve Polge
"We've paid [...] a lot of attention to what the guys in the
community are saying, and we take that feedback to heart." -
Jim Brown
"The original Unreal Tournament was on the threshold of being
a great game. If we had done 2K4 without having to feel kind of in the
box of what we had started in 2K3, I think it would have been a much better
game than it was." - Steve Polge
"[In UT2004] you miss the feeling you get from being in someone's
face and fighting with them." - Jeff Morris
