lmao, no. UT is a trash can. Quake 3 is a very refined and balanced shooter that endears high level competitive play and fun casual fragging alike. UT doesnt even have a competitive scene because it is completely style over substance. Q3 runs better, looks better, plays better, is faster and more fluid, has a vastly more advanced physics system, more customizatiom options and more features. literally the only thing UT has going for it are the mutators which make it easy for 80 IQ retards to add custom modifiers to a game, whereas Quake 3 offers all the same gimmicks and cheats but forces you to type them in the console because the game wasn't made for niggers. speaking of niggers, why does UT have so many hideously ugly black characteds wearing gaudy, brightly colored armor? regardless, there is nothing UT has that Q3 doesn't except weapons with a secondary firing mode, which only breaka game balance. in every other way, Q3 performs better and offers more features. you are an idiot.

>Anon it's a shitty fps that never was popular.
What is? Quake 1? A game nobody mentioned? Certainly couldn't be Quake 3, since, if Quake wasn't popular, there wouldn't have been... a Quake 3.
>There is a reason they didn't release any new games.
Then why is there a Quake 3? Or is Quake 3 now its own series according to you? Then why is there a Quake 4?
>it didn't sold well
You always know you're in for a good debate when the person you're arguing with can't type a basic sentence.
>was shit like Quake 3 and Doom 3. Quake 3 is id without Romero the game.
What was shit like Quake 3? Quake 1? So you've been talking about Quake 1? But then in your next post, you said you "forgot to type 3". So which is it, did you forget to type 3 and you've been talking about Quake 3, or you're talking about Quake 1. How could Quake 3 be shit like Quake 3?

UT has more flat weapon balance whereas Quake weapon balance is more about weapons having a pure niche. You can waltz into a fight in UT and have a fair chance of picking up a stray kill with any old weapon.

this is actually a decent point, i'll give you that. Q3's weapons definitely fill a specific role more than UT's. i would argue that this is largely negated by skill level (e.g. very good Q3 players can absolutely rape you with the basic machinegun at a long distance, making the railgun the only effective counter), but since we're talking about casual play, then yeah, that's a small concern. a noob with a machinegun will get raped by a noob with a rocket 90% of the time. that said, if we're really arguing about casual experiences, then there are a lot of weapons to negate this aspect of the weapon design, e.g. giving all player quad, removing/adding certain weapons, limiting ammo, etc.

>I don't even know what you're trying to convey with this post either lol
that's because you aren't very intelligent. let me try to break it down for you: Quake 3's weapons fill a specific role, i.e. rail is the long-rail heavy hitter, gauntlet is for close quarters combat, etc. the other anon is right about UT in that its weapons are "flat", e.g. don't have specific roles but rather are mostly equal in power but with different gimmicks. my point is that while Q3's weapons are more niche, that nicheness is somewhat irrelevant at a high level of play because weapons which might appear weaker or less useful than others to a casual player, can actually be some of the best weapons in any situation to a pro player (the machinegun being the best example, because it's almost impossible to counter 50%+ MG at long distance with anything other than a railgun despite the MG being garbage in the hands of most people). the argument here is in regards to "which game is more fun at a casual level?", so high level play doesn't matter; to which i counter, even weapon issues aside, Quake 3 still endears better casual play due to the ability to augment players with things like powerups that negate differences in weapon utility. do you understand now?

The original is a pretty good game in its own right.
Something to note is that the UE1 engine games (Unreal, Unreal Tournament (sequel) have some compatibility problems on modern systems. Patch both with their latest Old Unreal patches and this is my subjective opinion, but stick with the legacy Galaxy audio system for sound. The other audio systems have different quirks that affect how effects and music are mixed and propagated in the games and they don't feel quite right to people that have played them before, someone new might not care but still the right choice imo.

Also the games are supposed to have some neat looking volumetric fogsl effects, but sometimes the games automatically disable it because of outdated hardware checks. You'll have to read about how to force them back on in the advanced preferences menu of the engine if they get disabled.

Unreal Tournament has a full campaign ladder mode for solo play that takes you through pretty much all the game's content. UT:GOTY features a new Skaarj hybrid team and a revised campaign ladder with different maps, omitting an iconic map 'Barricade' that I actually kind of liked. There's a one line setting in an .ini file for switching the game back into its original 1999 state if you want. All maps can be found in the practice menu for custom matches.

UT2k4 has a slightly less developed campaign mode that only gives you a fraction of the total content. Use Instant Action to explore the full game.

Unreal 2 is mediocre, but it doesn't suck, imo.

What does it come with?

I think the best Unreal game is UT 99 by a hair. 2004 is also exceptional, and I could understand preferences either way. So on that alone I'd probably play 99 for 2k4 first depending on what looks better to you and then if you like one try the other one. Both have surprisingly competent singleplayer campaigns. UT99 still has a multiplayer scene but unless you are experienced in this type of game you'll probably spend most of your time eating shit.

Unreal and Unreal 2 are also very good games in their own right. The original Unreal is a bit of an odd FPS in that the pacing is really slow, but it's also absolutely brilliant visually and if you get into it the atmosphere is fantastic. It's fairly long, though, and if you don't like it in the first five hours you can safely drop it. It's definitely not for everyone.

I haven't played Unreal 2 since it launched, but I liked it quite a bit at that time. Come to think of it, that's basically the only thing I remember about it.


(So the racist Quake guy doesn't waste his time responding to my posts: Yes, Q3A is a better game than any of the Unreal Tournament games. I'd also say the original Quake is better than any UT. That doesn't change the fact that it's still a very strong series with multiple exceptional games.)

Technically speaking, yes. On a technical basis, Q3 has more polys, higher quality lighting and effects, and performs better.

You have niggerlover redditor tastes, but you're entitled to it.
>movement
Movement is better in Q3. You have more control over movement both on-ground and midair, juking is more effective, you can build speed and clear obstacles more easily, and there are more meta mechanics like plasma climbing that UT does not have. You are wrong, objectively. Go ahead and tell me how UT has better movement and I will BTFO you with facts proving otherwise.
>There's a reason Quake 3 never received any sequels
So Quake 4 isn't a sequel even though it has near identical multiplayer? Quake Live and Quake Arena Arcade aren't sequels? Quake Champions isn't a sequel? I don't know if you're trolling or just mentally retarded. Even if Quake 3 was the only Quake game in existence, it wouldn't change the fact that it does everything better than UT and your ad populum argument is both factually wrong and indicative of severe butthurt. I'm still waiting on literally any evidence for how UT is better or offers more. All you keep doing is stamping your foot and saying UT is better but you won't provide one verifiable reason why.

Once you can understand or accept that Quake ]|[ Arena has a higher acuity ceiling than Unreal Tournament, you will begin to see it's appeal. Sure, Unreal Tournament has more content, but it doesn't specialize in any of it. It's all one big sandbox to mess around with. On the other hand, Quake is a technical fucking marvel, what it specializes in, it does it so good it basically spawned the modern gaming industry. Ironically, Unreal Engine has become the industry standard and not at all because of Unreal Tournament.

Anyway, I do look forward to Unreal Tournament 3 X. Hoping it revives the modding scene and people finish their projects.

I do agree about this points.
However they didn't create anything good looking with the tech, just like Crysis. It's lacking on artistic side, and it's not like UT is much better on that, but it's more grounded.
I also agree it is much better balanced. Problem is, it isn't as fun to play as. A lot of weapons feel the same, they should have added more variety. It doesn't have to be as bloated as UT.

You clearly don't know what you're talking about. Each weapon has distinctively different damage, pushback and fire rate.

I am always surprised that people don't mention this. This is one of the best things about what UT3 brought back: the feeling that your weapon was actually powerful. UT99 had that going on really well, the weapons were pretty overpowered in all honesty, but they were all OP so it was only a matter of grabbing the right weapon. Then UT2k4 tries to nerf things down a LOT for its team-based gameplay, and how they wanted to be a bit more like Quake (you can really feel it with the rocket launcher, where in UT99 it actually has a small delay before firing, making it feel really meaty and force you to hard-read enemy movement, and it has a bigass splash damage radius, but in UT2k4 they made the splash damage really small like a Quake 3 rocket. I just feel like the actual core gameplay in 2k4 is meh, meaning the deathmatching. The actual team-based modes are actually really fun, and great! ...but they don't feel like Unreal. UT2003 also doesn't feel like Unreal that much, but even worse about it because that game was really pushing the whole objective-based gameplay and had severe balancing issues.

>> No.9493792

>>9493651
it has nothing to do with being unfinished. in UT you have a small selection of modifiers on a graphical menu and that's pretty much it. in Q3 you have literally hundreds of cvars that can drastically change the game and displaying those on a menu would be retarded. further, in Q3 you can add modifiers in the middle of battle (assuming you're server owner and/or have cheats enabled), and the ability to create an autoexec.cfg means you can save custom "playlists" that auto-boot with your desired settings without even needing to enter the commands manually. not only can you do more, but it's faster when you run a dedicated server or frequently olay the same custom gametypes. as i said, UT's mutator feature is great for 80 IQ niggers but it's objectively inferior if you aren't retarded.

on gametracker, servers that use fake player counts can be reported and are labelled as such.

if the master server is entirely controlled by oldunreal, they can delist servers that fake their player counters. or at the very least, make the server browser clearly indicate real players vs bots, since oldunreal also manages the executables everyone uses now.

I like how every Unreal fag in this thread is barely coherent, can't actually explain why UT is good and says factually wrong things, while the Quake chads are well-spoken and can discuss the games at length. Tells you a lot about which game endears a high IQ crowd.

Weird how this came out during a time where i felt like replaying Unreal again.
I always dreamed of a revival of the single player portion of the franchise, but hell, now its done, everything is dead.

Good luck trying to wipe out copies of the GOG archive installers from the internet lmao
That's even before mentioning the original disks being DRM free and isos of them and other distributions of the game being pirated on the internet for literal decades by now.
It's literally one of the most pirated games of all time, go to any IT office in Europe and they'll have a copy of it for you. Ask them nicely enough and it'll even be one of those portable distributions that can run directly from a USB stick with no installs.
Epic can try all they want to make it only available through them but they'd be 2 decades late to that party lmao
As for the other Unreal Tournament games they are literally not worth playing, except Onslaught on 2004 once in a while, the disks for 2004 weren't DRM free but it was widely pirated all the same, plus it's had GOG installers for years now and those are DRM free.

You'd better kill yourself. Part of Unreal's charm is the unique look and feel of the engine it runs on like detail textures, fractal animations on liquids, forcefields and so on. It's one of the reasons why Krull0r is doing a remaster using the same technology (albeit bolstered by the 227 community patch), rather than on UEngine 2.0.

There was little reason to stay, since the unique maps (LavaGiant, etc.) got ported very quick, and 2k4 offered more in general. Plus 2k4 got all the re-releases.

UC1 was basically just a console port of 2k3.
UC2 was it's own game entirely. It apparently has a PC port but Idk if it's official or not
