other arena??

Wot's this gun??

Quadshot in action

Dragon in action

Wow, nice shot of the dragon. I've never seen it in an actual game screenshot.

The arena looks like the dark arena, just an early version of it, but I may be wrong. The gun in the second shot is just the earlier automag model in secondary fire mode.

What's that level in the quadshot pic though?

 

[THAiSi]

this is another screen with the dragon... in all early shot (even the oldest) is shows a dragon... never knew why especially this creature is removed.... they skipped enemies because they were not 'cool' enough... so that must be the reason to skip the dragon i suppose

Just click on the unreal week link (on top of page 3 of this thread) and look at the gallery links below... there are a lot of images that I haven't seen before

 

[Drevlin]

they skipped creatures as they didnt fit into the story and not because they wasnt "cool" enough... I mean cmon... whats cooler than a dragon?

 

[Drevlin]

Blinded by reality

The high standards of the Epic team would also cause delays. "The rule was that only the coolest stuff gets in," says Bleszinski. "If there was a creature that wasn't as good as some of the other ones, it was out. Theoretically, we could have made two or three games out of all the content we created. We just wanted the best stuff in there."

Try an Epic mapper like Elliot Cannon or Shane Claude, or Cliff Bleszinski or Cedric Florentino.

Im working on a little site yes, but its offline... :-D

I'll show it to you guys when I've version 1.0

 

[DRT-Maverick]

Can't wait to see it!

The pic with the quad-shot looks like an early version of Rrajigar mine.

 

[DRT-Maverick]

Yep, I think it is a shot of Rrajigar mines. Looks cool.

 

[DRT-Maverick]

There are some nice shots!

 

[THAiSi]

Mind posting the url were you found them ?

 

[Hellscrag]

Damn that waterfall pic looks nice

Round about the original entrance to the Velora Temple again I reckon, but this time by day.

I gotta tip my hat to the epic team for having such high standards, thats what created the magic of Unreal
What they should do is release an Unreal:Uncut Edition where they release the maps that didn't make the cut

 

[Akuma]

they did, it's called RTNP

 

[Hellscrag]

RtNP only included the cut maps Epic hyped in the pre-release.

There were several others we know a lot less about. Cryox... Nexxus... Soledad...
