Epic Games releases UT3 Bonus Pack #1

Saturday, March 29th, 2008

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!

Gears of War 2 GDC 2008 HD footage at GameTrailers.com

Wednesday, March 26th, 2008

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.

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.

Unreal franchise, now on Steam

Tuesday, March 18th, 2008

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.
