Unreal Tournament 2004

Unreal Tournament 2004 is a first-person arena shooter video game developed by Epic Games and Digital Extremes. Part of the Unreal franchise, it is the third game in the Unreal Tournament series and the sequel to Unreal Tournament 2003.
Among significant changes to gameplay mechanics and visual presentation, one of the major additions introduced...

I want this remastered, along with Unreal (1998) and Unreal Tournament (1999)!

Wouldn't it be 2003 and 2004 combined?

#

And I'd also want Unreal 2 back as well

I started playing more arena shooters lately and I kind of miss Unreal. It would be really cool to get a relaunch of Unreal Tournament 2004 with updated graphics and all the maps, announcers and weapon models from UT99, UT2003 and UT3. Ideally it should also have optional hitmarkers and synchronized weapon vfx and sfx for more responsiveness.

An ideal remaster would include cut maps and the content from Unreal Championship that didn't made the cut.

Unreal Tournament 2004 - WIP Map Showcase - CTF-AdvancingGuard-b01

A Capture the Flag map I've started in 2017, then left because UnrealEd 3 didn't get along well with newer systems. However, with the release of the OldUnreal patch v3374 preview 9, I finally gave the Ed a spin again and was able to finish a beta, complete with botplay.

The map is an U-shaped CTF map, with both bases at each extreme. I've chose...

Same link to the same map. I don't know if it's possible to add preview pics to Mega links, though.

What’s stopping Nightdive from asking Epic games about Unreal?

New announcer to sound like that epic movie announcer trying to sell you on Blum Studios hot garbage films

Free forever, then why can’t I find it at the PlayStation store?

#

Also this publicity should lead to official remastered releases for both Pc and game consoles.

It's free on PC. The one and only platform it's always been on. Ports cost money and arena shooters never do good on console

I enjoyed the competitive multiplayer of Quake 1 and 2 on my PS5.

Unreal Championship

Unreal Championship is a first-person arena shooter video game developed by Digital Extremes and Epic Games, published by Infogrames, and released for the Xbox. Part of the Unreal franchise, Unreal Championship is the console version of Unreal Tournament 2003, and was developed to take advantage of Xbox Live. The game is notable for being the fi...

@clear kayak why do you assume that arena shooters are not good on game consoles, all types of shooters are good on PC and game consoles.

#

in the context of a Nightdive remaster (and not just OldUnreal's very good work), cross-play would likely be something included, at least if recent patterns remain steady. that would help mitigate the player numbers by making a single pool instead of many shallow pools

It's half dead on PC and extinct on consoles

Mark, Vinn has a point. And I'm speaking as someone who works in the game development industry: the business side of arena shooters can not guarantee enough money to be made to put the effort into remastering/launching old games in consoles.
Devkits (although studios can rent them for free), developing studios, licenses and marketing are very expensive, really. Like really really expensive.
Just as insight, a small, six month project for Meta VR might cost 500k USD. No licensing or even marketing required.
Now imagine remastering and porting a UE2 game into PS5 or Xbox Series.

More so, even if the game proves successful the audience it caters to is very... particular.
Fresh players are very much scared away of these types of games because the core players are extremely good at them and they destroy the new ones.

Now, tell me:
How many of these types of FPSs (or retro shooters like Nightmare Reaper, Quake 1 & 2 remastered, Blood: Refreshed Supply, Wrath, Doom 1 & 2, Boltgun, Forgive me Father, Dusk, AMID EVIL... you get the idea) have you played and for how long?

I can guarantee you that casual players or even midcore ones don't stick to these games. Most of these players want their games long, 30+ hour campaigns and so on. They might find enjoyment on retro FPSs but their attention span is very much limited

#

I absolutely love retro FPSs but even I became a bit jaded with the amount of new releases that I'm not even buying them or even playing them so much. I'm a PC gamer and retro console gamer and I still have a lot of games that cater to me unplayed.
Void Bastards, Dread Templar, Viscerafest, White Hell, Vomitoreum, Strife, I only played Heretic (not even the new expansion), and I'm sure I'm forgetting a lot more

#

It's not being a downer or being a pessimist, but let me get one thing straight:
If things aren't happening are because the suits don't feel there's enough money involved.
Games are an extremely risky investment.

I remember a million people (exagerating here) asking for a Medievil remake/remaster and then no one fucking bought it

and then add the fact that in Epic's case, they seem to think so little of Unreal as a whole that they would rather take the games down from PC storefronts and let the community handle them over taking whatever scraps they were making off those storefronts at all

# signal charm I’m not a PC gamer.

fact is that PC remains the only way to play these games for the foreseeable future. if Epic doesn't even want to sell the Unreal games on PC storefronts then they're certainly not going to do (or allow) official console ports let alone remasters anytime soon

#

it's simply the unfortunate reality of the situation

Rumors of Fortnite being in trouble means that if it happens then Epic Games should bring back the Unreal games.
