and how do you know that? Just because I prefer UT above Quake doesn't mean I should get shit for it, it's not like I'm giving you quakers any shit for liking the game you like (I assume you're a quaker, if not just then just ignore this).
With that being said, no matter how the game will be, we'll still have a nice and friendly community, which also contributes to my view of how good a game is.
I refuse to believe that UT3 will ever be "that" bad as in having such a small community. UT has always had a very large following, and it's most unlikely that we'll get a small community for UT3 (Epic just can't fuck up a game like that :P)
quake also had a great history of big communitys, this just shows how much game designers can ruin a game :d not saying that it'll happen to UT3, but it might aswell do! you do remember the hype and expectations for quake4 before it was released ye?
Yes, and I also fear that it could happen to ut3, but I somehow think it wont.
If you look at how epic presents the game and how raven/id presented their game.
I remember a major q4 presentation, it focused entirely upon that the single player had this great history and how you become one of strogg etc, they showcased graphics, but not really any nice multiplayer.
Look at what epic is promoting, ofc they're hyping their unreal engine 3, just as raven hyped d3 engine. But they've shown multiplayer, and let journalists try the game in multiplayer, they've talked about builing up DM first to get things right, down to the core of everything, and then building all the other things upon that, so they have a game which satisfies the hardcore dm players.
I know it's just marketing and hype etc, but there's a clear difference from what raven/id promoted in q4 and what epic promotes in ut3.
u dnt know that yet... for all you know, the gameplay could be quite fun...
oh and btw, for some people, Quake3 is the shittest incarnation of a DM game ever made(im one of those), but that doesnt stop people like you screaming that its the best game ever made etc... what makes a game fun is subjective, not objective, so plz, go back to playing ur, imo, shit game, whilst others can go back to playing their, iyo, shit game....ok?
You obviously don't geddit. Anyway I'll add: when I talk about "best game ever" I talk about "best 1v1 competitive platform ever made" which is Q3+CPMA (the mod by itself, regardless the gameplay you like to play, they both rox).
It can sound rude, but when you talk about "competitive 1v1 platforms", CPMA is the best without a possible discussion. Its not about tastes there, this is a fact. If you don't agree, you are simply not getting the point of it. Also, if you live happy thinking UT is the rulez, do it.
i personally just prefer ut to quake, even watching ... just my personal preference ... yet i dont slam ppl for liking quake. maybe i just realise that everyone has their own likes/dislikes. neither do i ram my opinions down ppls throats, which some quake players seem to love doing and tbh it gets a bit boring
maybe he just means from the technical side, like the engine with netcode and so on, totally ignoring the movement/gameplay/items/weapons/whatever. Couse if he means that i would totally agree with him.
Make a UT with the q3 engine and it would probably own.
they need to make ut3 alot more like guitar hero 2, like pressing them buttons dunka dunka good beats ye. jordan and when doing the five star sweet child o mine sends shiverss down my fine spine !!,
well, the best quakers, which kept the scene alive... just grew up and have their lifes, now their spankin bitches, drivin mad cars, and earning shit loads of money...! or not.
and all the others are playin wow :|
