If there is any Singleplayer to UT3 or UT4, what are you looking for?
[not the Instant Action style 
, but more like Killzone, Gears of War or else]
Something intresting that can be played either single or coop with a well developed story, maby some team managemnt thrown in, train and equipp your team with weapons vehicles and armor, train their reflexes, strenght etc.
Well, everyone loves the Tournament ideas, I also do... but I could also enjoy playing the game in a deeper way. I mean, who are these characters? How did they become so experience in fighting against each others? What does it look like to live the life of Reaper, etc...
The Tournaments are only one interesting part of many intense and possible others I would guess.
I dont like the tournament especially not the direction Epic has taken it. the team managment in UT200x has some potential, initially it wasent very much you could do with it.
-hire guys
-heal guys
-challenge guys
Thats about it, if Epic evolved that future that you could buy weapons armors and vehicles or able to train your buddies endurance, strenght, speed ontop of managing their health, it would certainly make the tournament more intresting since you have something to actually care for. Epic made alot of promises about the AI aswell perhaps hold up to those aswell.
A proper tournament - i.e. put the Tournament back in Unreal Tournament.
I never cared for the UT3 SP. I accepted the characters for what they were - one dimensional bits of wallpaper. And definatlely don't do it like Gears of War. The way the "storyline" was shoehorned into that gorefest was forced, pathetic and clichéd. If anything the Unreal franchise needs to distance itself from Gears of War as far as possible.
One of the things that I found so appealing about that made the first UT - and the original Unreal too so appealing was that your character was virturally a blank slate. The character could be whatever you wanted to be. In other words you could get totally immersed into the game universe exploring, killing stuff and saving the innocent (or killing them if you wanted to be a baddie yourself). When they tried to define the characters more (John Dalton from U2 or UT3's Reaper) that factor was lost. Why the hell would I want to be soppy old Reaper in the first place?
I don't particularly dig prequels either. They seem to be all the rage at Hollywood these days. I'd personally rather see what should've been done many years ago - a proper sequel to the original game.
I dont fancy UT3's supposed singleplayer either, mainly because it isnt singleplayer, its just deathmatch with bots and a tacky storyline with poorly developed characters slapped on... Honestly here who of you whom completted UT3 didnt want,
want Reaper to die in the end...
It seems Epic are trying to leave behind everything Unreal, there are no skaarj and the Krall have been completely transformed. So the chances of seeing another Unreal are slim to none.
What Epic says and what Epic does have nothing in common buddie, picked up that since ut2k3...
Someone still hopes for an Unreal 3 or any sequel to Unreal? We can only dream.
The tournament is the best choice, in a way how it was done in UC2.
Mm Unreal3 is pretty much just a pipedream...
UC2 done as an exlusive console title? Cant really agree to that...
I didn't like ut3 singleplayer at all, it took itself far too seriously.
I was fine with ut2k3/4's singleplayer: ".. so a bunch of dudes were fighting. Here's some skirmishes".
This is all from my "UT is supposed to be a multiplayer series" perspective though. It would make more sense to make an entirely new game (like, oh I dunno, "Unreal") rather than try to shoehorn unreal's multiplayer-focused spinoff back into a singleplayer game.
I'm just not a fan of games trying to be everything. Stick to one audience.
Deathmatch with bots is to serious for you? Really because thats all UT3 singleplayer was exluding that shoddy story and poorly developed characters. Gears of War beats it by lightyears in terms of quality...
Epic havent really catered to an online mutliplayer community, while they have released a couple of games they havent included much of services for the community to grow or stay connected.
UC2 had some good singleplayer ideas, though I personally believe that it could do just fine without anything more than a UT or UT2004 styled tournament ladder.
Not every game needs to have a storyline - take Left 4 Dead for instance. It's an established genre and we all get the gist of the idea without being force-fed cheesy one-liners and silly premises. Also, its campaign offline is identical to the one that is online.
L4D has a story altough subtle, its filled with one liners and a zombie outbreak is a silly premise, however it does it well compared to say UT3, L4D got the formula done right with Single/Multi/Coop and the Versus mode allows you to play as freakin Zombies...
That got me thinking (yeah, yeah
)
A coop mod where you pick out 4-6 of the most memorable moments/sections of Unreal and turn them into "movies" or missions ala L4D.
I would pay for it, no doubt.
With Invasion gone how likley is that to happen though.
. I hated the ut2kx tutorials because they were just movies. The ut99 tutorials were interactive and really immersive. This isn't really a big thing, but i would like interactive tutorials for each of the game modes just like ut99. Preferably with a special map that can't be seen anywhere else in the game for each tut, just like in UT1.
