I hate the name and the logo!

i asked a few my friends. who never bought ut2003, 2004 and they just assumed 2007 will be an updated ut2004(and the most improvement is from the graphic) so they don't plan to buy 2007 if this game won't be able to improve itself
Thanks, but I doubt anyone gives a crap except you and your friends. We don't have any way of verifying that.

I mean, I asked 150 of my friends and they all loved it.

See?

Allow me to clarify my stance. I don't directly give a crap what the next game is called and I imagine most UT fans don't either, I do however care about the community and it's horrible lack of general activity since the release of UT2k3. 2k4 gave it a boost but nothing like what it needed. I've just sat around and watch pretty much every single mapper I knew (apart from hourences :p) disappear either because of lack of interest or being hired and there seems to simply be little to no new people appearing that are truely interested in mapping. If your general random gamer thinks that the next UT is simply an upgrade of UT2k3/4 with better graphics then it's certainly not going to attract any large number of new people to the community.

and the name just tells me they don't have courage to make a real next gen title.
what's up with the "next gen" stuff?
it may have another super über whatever engine, but I'm still going to play it with mouse and keyboard and woun't care about the higher texture detail
there's no real improvement other than the graphics and physics(and both woun't affect the gameplay)
it's not really a new generation for me

and the name UT2007, well, better than unreal tournament: evolution or something like that ;)

like I said, it's no groundbreaking new game, why do you want a groundbreaking new name?

How do you know it won't be? Have you played it? Do you know something we don't?

Jesus, I wish they hadn't announced this yet. Everyone's a Goddamn expert.

Keep it in one thread please.
Agreed.
Besides, let's look at the others: Max Payne 2 (smash hit), Halo 2 (smash hit), Metal Gear Solid 2 (smash hit), Rainbow Six II, III, and IV (smash hits), Half-Life 2 (smash hit), Time Splitters II and III (smash hits), need I say more? The name doesn't really matter, and naming the titles in sequental order doesn't affect the gameplay. It could be called "Unreal Tournament 1847" for all I care, as long as it didn't take place in 1847 I'd be alright with it. And by the way, UT2K7 will be taking place long after 2007, in the F.Y.I department :)
As for the logo, no whiney schmuck ever complained about Max Payne 2's theme song being the same as the original, because it's so cheap being the original just played with a violin.
I do not assume that a game will be a remake of an older version just because the name is similar. What about Unreal Championship II? OK, so it's different calling it II and III as opposed to naming it by release year like 2003 and 2004. But still, I think you get my point. Unreal Tournament 2007 is looking good by my standards, and I'm pretty sure you can rely on it being much different, in a good way, than its precursors.

ok, tell me where they could hide the awesome new groundbreaking ideas?
the gamemodes are announced, the weapons too, where do you expect it to be? whatelse do you think can it be than another UT game and do you really think epic would dare it to do something completely different?

ok, that new gamemode could be TEH thing, but I doubt it

we shall wait and see if I'm right and it's just another game or if it's really the next generation of gaming

jesus, I wish they hadn't announced it yet. everyone's forgetting it's only a game.

Im with Nem on this one, names dont really make or break a game. And it seems stupid to use one naming scheme and then not keep using it.

I'm not running it any more due to real life commitments, afaik there isn't much going on with it as nothing has been released to the community or anything for months.

Anyway back on topic, I sure hope epic listen to the community about the name at least. UT2007 is just going to fail otherwise.

A pitty, that would have been extremly cool *g*

Yap, I also hope they listen well, would be a real bad thing if UT2k7 (at the moment I`ll call it that way *g*) would be a mid-class game :(

Well, let`s post our wishes and hope the best *g*

Lazy as they are for death sounds. Ut2003/4 and the TRAILER of pariah used the same damn death sound.

If they gonna use the same for ut2007 , Fûck off then!

I don't really care about the logo , but i must admit they could think about somthing new. Maybe it's just a beta logo.

Posts I've read saying UT2007 is a good name = 0 (or 1...)
Posts I've read saying UT3 is a good name = A lot...

The name is UT2007 because the next single-player game will probably be called Unreal3. Calling this one UT3 could be confusing for some people...

I expected to see a big III too, but I don't care the logo, I think this one is not bad.. The box is not important if what there is inside is cool (and it's gonna be cool... :D)

i'm with moon, I guess I was too hopeful they were going to drop the years in the title and was hoping for UT3 (or 4) or UT:*Name of Great Power here*. UT2007 doesn't sound fun or interesting and probably won't interest any new people and only hard core UT fans who own every other Unreal game including U2.

AHhh, who the **** care about the goddamn icon... create one for urself or download a custom one if it can give you pleasure... and rename the shortcut to UT3 hahaha.
Still I buy the game if its ownage and not if it have a nice name... UT2007 is very good.

I wish they added an alternative name, say UT2007 : Battle for Earth or something like that. The new logo (dump that egg-like rubbish please) is ok but the e-sports year numbering scheme is the most boring, "here's some more of the same sh*t" marketing approach since -1000 BC.
