Hehe, I read this from my feed reader.
An independent group holding a Gears of War Crimes Tribunal at the Coalition of Ordered Governments headquarters Wednesday to assess whether Delta Squad members Colonel Hoffman, Marcus Fenix, and Dominic Santiago had committed atrocities against the Locust Horde found the three super-soldiers’ actions justified.
Yup, yet again I haven’t been able to work on the design, I’ve got a relationship, high school and a drivers’ license to work with, but I’ve sprinkled some work on the design too. It’s coming along just fine, a bit slow though.
And Epic Games has just announced that they’ll be holding another Make Something Unreal Contest, for UT3 this time! Now, every modder, artist, mapper or whatever your craft is, go and Make Something Unreal! I think I’ll be better off staying with levels, so let’s hope I get something done—and during this year if possible.
Also, WP2.5 has made a stable release. Be sure to upgrade your install as soon as possible. After I’ve upgraded rdegree, I’ll share my experiences, if I get any.
And the hotness keeps on coming! I haven’t tried yet, but the map-list has two classics and one new map for the UT3 players—PC and PS3 alike. Maps DM-Morbias and CTF-Face have been seen in previous UTs, but CTF-Searchlight is a new one.
Grab yours from BU FileWorks now! Be warned though, the pack—even with only three maps—weighs at a whopping 160MBs!
GameTrailers.com has added two “new” GOW2 videos (with SD and HD versions) to view. The first one (view in SD/HD) is a tech-demo video, displaying new things in the so called Unreal Engine 3.5, which is used in future titles. This one’s old, but it’s good to see a HD version of it (gives some more justice to the cool additions Epic Games has made to the engine). The second (view in SD/HD) is a sort of a press announcement of GOW2, with CliffyB getting it on with a Lancer replica. Although GOW2 was said to be a Xbox 360 exclusive released next November, I wonder if they release a PC version after the sales on the console quiet down a bit. Anyways, good stuff. Worth looking.
Some more topnotch mappage in the making by the CBP crew. Version 3 has been announced. Any downloads haven’t been given out yet, but be sure to check their download page from time to time.
The pack will hold at least 3 maps, DM-Salvation, DM-IronMaiden2 and DM-Endura. They’ve said that there will be many more around the time of release.
I’m not a UT3 PS3 player, but here’s some relief for those who are. Jeff ‘WarTourist’ Morris gave a UT3 PS3 patch announcement with a fixlist on the Epic Games forums.
Games from the Unreal franchise have been added to Steam’s gamelists. This means even more players to the somewhat quiet game UT3 and others. Let’s hope it goes well and Epic Games gets some more money for their future projects with Steam.
The games include the original Unreal (Gold), Unreal 2, Unreal Tournament 1 (GOTY), UT2004 (ECE) and UT3. I warmly suggest everyone at least tries the demos. Top notch stuff.
