I like that thing behind the goliat in the first screenshot; I don´t now what it is, but I like it anyway.

 

[Wowbagger]

Bah! beaten by the BU frontpage (i checked the forum but not the BU site)

 

[Wowbagger]

Its the enhanced Raptor i think.

 

[Vault]

im in love with that shock rifle....and the manta... and the raptor... and the Goliath.... and of course the scorpian...... looks like UT2007 is going to have much better models from an artistic standpoint

EDIT: Just read the article.... q1 release! woot! and i saw another pic of the shock rifle.. and that think is massive! whoa... its really looks like the devasting weapon it is! i cant wait for 2006!

I love the visual style of that map. Reminds me of an old UT map called DM-The Strip, which apart from being a porno map, had a great street-design which I rather preferred to the more mainstream urban custom maps.

The vehicles and Malcolm all look amazing of course (though the Raptor could do with a bit more style in my opinion)... I don't like the shock rifle much, but as it's the Unreal Championship 2 version it'll almost certainly be changed.

Those screens are the same ones that Epic generated for a magazine article a while back. They sure look great!

I'm not sure what to make of that ShockRifle pic though! The side view looks very cool. But surely, that lower pic of it isn't the view that you'll see on screen... it's GI-NORMOUS!

shock art looks really cool imnsho... cant wait to play this puppy! the actual weap looks a lil large in the models hands in this image, but these are all still previews so will just haveta wait and see..

i think it said theyre hoping for q1-q2 release so that prob means q3 if anything. i can wait (barely)

Before UT2004 i wouldave agreed but didnt UT2004 get released on schedule?
Or am i dreaming here?

I doubt the any of the weapons will change much from UC 2. UT99 weapons, for the most part, were just like the Unreal ones, they are probably trying to link the two games back together. I may be wrong since I never played UC 2. Though, even if UC 2 is just the Xbox version of UT200x that would make it even more reasonable to keep them similar, wouldn't it? I personally love that shock riffle model, though I agree that the Raptor looks off. I mean its sweet and all, but it doesn't look like it could fly.

What do you mean? That confused me in the artical as well.

Just take a look at the shock rifle at www.unrealchampionship2.com > weapons > energy. It's touched up a little, but it's the same design.

The concept of the model does look great, I agree, it's a nice hybrid of the UT1 shock rifle and the chunkier later versions. However, in the first-person view... it's horrible. I'd probably choose Hide Weapon just to avoid being distracted by its clunky lack of aestheticism when trying to pull off a combo. Not to mention it looks obviously consoley, to me anyway.

*checks small weapons box*

It would be cool if the raptor could also double as a bipedal robot thingy .

Oh, I know it's based off the UC2 models (i own UC2), but I don't get why everyone assumes that the models they are showing will not be in the game.

actually, I think I know... cause you don't like them!

How in the world are we suppose to have a computer that will be able to play this game?

 

[Radiosity]

Wowbagger, you are my new personal god. I've been looking for some decent artwork of the shock for my Hybrid Tourney model

 

[Wowbagger]

iirc Sweeney has done what Carmack did with Doom3. (only Geforce3 or better)
Hes drawn a line at Pixel shader 2.0 compatible cards.

So if you buy a pixel shader 2 card all is well.

This is just what i think ive read and i have no links to proof it.
Maybe someone can shed some light over this?

The Shockrifle isn't actually that bad, the flak cannon however....

Lol, well yeah, there's that .
Also, Epic have never really tried just touching up old models in the past Unreal games, all the new models have been conceptually different. Maybe I'm a bit weird but one of the things I get most excited over when a new UT game's on the horizon is drooling over the new models (weapon or otherwise); I'd be muchly disappointed to find that the new weaponset not only isn't new but is being taken from a set designed for console gamers.

Mind you, with today's news about a projected release date of Q1/Q2 2006, I have to admit you may well have a point about these being the final models. Woe!
