v1.0 ( normally ) of the game has been put onto a 'gold' disk ( they're not always gold colored ), which is the first disk from the developers sent to the publishers - it's the master copy for starting production on actual retail boxes.

It's not far away.... ;)

[AcurA]

Aha - makes much more sense.
I stand excited with everyone else now :D

4 of FED according to GPstore...

[p01s0n_p1e]

finally! here! *cough* warezed beta seen at lanplace*cough*
i imagine it will be quite..impressive..yes...and the a.i outstanding...even in a prebeta alpha....had one existed...

it is supposed to have a VERY meaty flamethrower, in terms of owning ability and purdyness, mixed in with karma and those oh so lovely models and there is bound to be many gasps of "whoah THAT was phat"

oh and yes i am looking foward to mowing down nali's again...:D

FPS rates of 10 coming my way /cry


Stupid P3 1gig

[.weasel.]

kewl :)

*goes out to gamesman and reserves 1x unreal II...

/me ponders if it will take over ut2k3 as the fps of choice for l3 lans :eek:

[[H]arls]

I doubt that weasel, unless they put the multiplayer back into the game while I wasnt looking. ;)

Re: The flamethrower - Ok, from what I've been reading and drooling over this sounds like its going to be The Sh*t. Secondary fire can be used to lay down a stream of napalm, which you can ignite by hitting it with primary fire.
Im really, really looking foward to setting enemies on fire and watching them die, screaming in fiery agony.

Im really growing quote fond of Epics weapons that they put into their games as of late. They just have a nice, destructive feel, and look damn sexy as well.
That, and cranking the minigun with my Z560's half way up makes the walls shake - I love it. :D

nice i have seen screen shots of it and there cool as .
but you will need a vere good pc to run it (talking to some people in the know)

xp2700
GF4 it4200
ram 512

to start running it ok :eek:

ut2003 only ues 1/3 of the powere that Unreal ][ will ues


/ off to dragon to get a xp2700 + game :(

[must kill Dell adguy]

You've got to be Joking???
Hardly anyone on this forum has anything above an XP2400, let alone the 2700!!!
That sounds a bit of bs to me!
and I can run UT2K3 (800x600 mode, most settings on low/normal) on my Duron750, 384meg PC133, GeForce2MX!!!
and I believe that the system you have described has about 4/5 times the power!!!

I find that hard to belive, they cannot make a game that requires that high of a spec and expect to sell it at all.

note i said : to start running it ok

ut2003 run's bad on my Duron 1100 with 256DDR RAM, GF4 MX460.

so when i say to start running it ok i was ref to fps, i will not play ut under 45fps

to start playing good/ok i wold be looking @ the xp2700 (to get a good fps)

ok?

ps this is only from a m8 that should know what he is talking about



has some one seen the spec for this game?

and no i dont have it :mad: (g.e. no crack copy) (no one has it that i know of)

i dont want to start spaming this!


oh and thank you to p01s0n_p1e for posting about Unreal ][ :)

[Solid Snake]

well I don't know about the high CPU specification, but I'll test it my machine, Ti4600 XP2100 512 DDR333 Corsair and see how it goes. It should be okay, since I have turned on some options in Ut2k3 for my game that I am making that Ut2K3 doesn't let you normally. THat is when I geyt my hands on it!

[[H]arls]

From Unreal Ops (http://www.unrealops.com/):

"...According to them the minimum required system specs are 800mhz, 256 and at least a GeForce 3."

[p01s0n_p1e]

minimum requirements can blow my ass.

seriously, i dont even know why they put minimum requirements, they are always bull****

they said unreal tournament would be playable on a p2 233 with a minimum of 16megs ram and an unaccelrated video card- but hell, i dont call 11fps when looking at a wall in 320x240 playable...

Well, you will be even less pleased with the fact that "There will be no Unreal II demo"
So you won't be able to see if it runs on your hardware (unless you decide to aquire it through dodgy means)

from the Unreal II forums:
There was never any time in the development schedule to produce a demo. Unfortunately, Legend won‘t have time to create one now as they‘re moving on to other things. In the mean time, we hope to create something that‘ll keep you occupied.

I can‘t reveal too much right now as we‘ve yet to hammer out all of the details.

As much as we‘d like to create a ‘true‘ demo, it‘s simply not possible. Legend have moved on to other projects and the production of a demo - even from already existing levels would require time and effort that we just don‘t have. It would then have to go through QA - another organization that is working on other projects and cannot dedicate time to a UII demo. It‘s all about the allocation of ‘assets‘.

However, as I mentioned above, we plan to put something out that as you say - will allow people to see what the game looks and plays like without any editing or ‘tricks‘. Raw gameplay.

It‘s going to be hard to get this video out before launch (the game will be on shelves on the 4th (USA), 7th (Europe)), but I hope that we have it online before too long. We‘ll try to spread it as far and wide as we did the UT2003 demo.

I could get 34FPS in UT: 640x480 with 64megs of PC66 SDRAM, and a Matrox 4Mb Millenium on a PII 333.

I reckon if you have a Rad8500/GF3Ti500, 1+Ghz PIII, and 256Mb ram then you should be able to easily run most of the "important" games that are being released this year in at least 1024x768, 32-bit colour and medium textures/mipmap detail level.

I find that most gamers (non-Occlers) tend to stick with their graphics card for a while, but tend to buy better CPUs.
I know quite a few gamers who are still on their GF2GTS, AthlonXP1900+ 256 ram etc, and are able to play BF1942, UT2K3 etc at 1280x1024 with a great framerate. Most people will not go hardcore on upgrading unless they have a non-DDR VGA card and K6-III/PII(or celeron...worse) based setup.

[p01s0n_p1e]

generally most systems arnt always balanced

for example

someone may upgrade thier cpu to something a bit overkill for the time, then 2 months later they will upgrade thier video card to something more overkill aswell

i cant wait for my next upgrade though- $250 for a full on leadtek 4600 from a friend :eek:

[must kill Dell adguy]

true.
250 for a 4600???
good deal!

Supposed to be out on the 7Th? NE1 hear otherwise...?

i know that in some of the game that you will get down to 13fps
(same spec as this but with a GF4 ti4200)

i know, iknow, that was going to be my last post but .....

i have seen this going (dont ask where!) and that is what we got

[Binky Stunt Cat]

can i say that this game is realy cool?
:p

[cadmax]

:rolleyes: mmmmk ut2003 is better (i like fast games ):p

it's not bad i think when it comes out i'll have to play it 24/7 for a cuppel of weeks ;)

[Method]

ok help a 56k friend

ut tournament and ut2k3 are pretty much exactly the same gameplay wise (guns the shots, dodging and owning ect)

whats up with u][? is it the same as the original unreal? (i never playd it just gave it to a friend..)

I guess its abit like half life single player (unreal original)

you must have the cracked V of it ;)

[Jetboy]

for a rough idea for people....XP2000 A7v333Mb 512Mb DDR400 Leadtek Ti4200 128Mb...not overclocked (though this soon to change now) with XP Pro SP1

All settings left to default 1280x1024 screen res

fps 25-30 in outside areas (lower if weather effects snowing=20fps)
inside 30-70 depending on amount going on, eg running around solving puzzles averages about 50 odd.....staring at the fire's 30ish (and trust me you will spend several minutes just gazing at the fire..it rocks :eek: )

even at 20fps (was dropping to 18) it still felt quite smooth and there was no noticabe detraction from the gameplay

will update with some more figures as I get further into it and tweak the settings a bit....just got console commands so back to play....hehe GOD mode + all weapons.... :D

***UPDATE***
have been playing with res settings and get very little change at the higher res settings, still av 30 outside even at 1600x1200x32, and have cranked up graphics settings in the game to max and is still quite playable
at 800x600x16 things start to get better (fps wise) with 50-60 being normal with drops to 40 when things get rough...but what you gain in speed you definately loose in the visuals.....am back to playing at 27-35fps but at 1600x1200 as it looks so damn good

useful commands
- setres wxhxd (eg "setres 800x600x32")
- statfps (might be a space in there "stat fps")

unfortunately the allweapons cheat didnt work so am haxing the config to get the "singularitycannon" whatever the hell that is...sounds fun though :eek: :D

[AcurA]

got my copy today from gpstore today. :D

which is handy coz it kills in one shot what would normaly be a mega-boss-type thing...
and there are lots of them around too o.O

[AcurA]

UT & UT2k3 having the EXACTLY the same gameplay - well i wish... i think they screwed 2k3 trying to even out all the weapons. Took a lot of the fun outta it - eg snipper rifle, schock, tranny etc

anyway back to your Q - U2 is purely single player (as fas as i can see) so your connection speed is irrelevant here?
Talk bout eye candy though - tis the heaviest game i'm run so far. Under heavy fire and @ 1024*768*32 my FPS drops below 20!!! I might have to be more conservative with my display settings :( Haven't had to do that for a while now.

A few things that helped me.
get all the latest drivers - nvidia dets, via 4in1s, soundcard drivers, directx 9.
you need to do a bit of tweaking to get the game to run well. I have similar system to you and get 90-100fps online (this is capped in the config files. if u set the option not to be capped i get 100-160fps). This setting bcapframerate is in the u2003.ini it caps the net framerate while playing online at around 90fps. Epic says this is to keep the client and server fps in sync.
By having this set to true u get a smoother online game but if its false u get higher frames but the occasional jerky dropout as the server cant keep up with where u are positioned in the game.
If you have ADSL netspeed of 10000 is sufficient. To alter netspeed type netspeed 10000 in the console.
also in the ut2003.ini turn the reducemouselag to false this gives extra frames.

UT2K3 high texture/detail settings are for the future graphics cards. Even though i have a good graphics card i prefer to set everything on low apart from character detail. This is because for me frames are more important than eyecandy. my monitor resolution is 1024x768 with 16bit colour depth.

try these sites too they will go into more depth

Think you are refering to UT 2003, and yep 90-100 is a pretty good fps figure for that (get about the same on my system) but the game I was refering to was Unreal II : The Awakening, the just released follow up to UT2003 (single player ony with no online gameplay)....if you can get 90-100 fps on that count me as impressed

so you are getting 1337 fps ;)

and do you like playing @13-25fps @ the bottem end?

hehe well we all cant have a 1337 system can we?

[[H]arls]

I am liking this game quite a lot so far...

It is very, very pretty. Everything is very well modelled, nice textures, and the guns - oh my god the guns. The CAR is an awesome rifle, its defenitly my personal favourite assault weapon from any game to date. The Shotgun, lovingly called the 'Crowd Pleaser' kicks much booty, I love setting creatures on fire with the secondary fire. :D

Im only a small way into the game so far (the research center on Hell) and I know theres plenty of weapons and things to kill still to come. I want to play with the .50 caliber pistol :D

Im choking with only 256MB RAM, but that should hopefully change in the next few days.


PS: The Skarjj freak me the f**k out. I want nasty blades on my arms that can deflect bullets and impale people too. :(

[AcurA]

Dam what a waste of a $100! took me 3 dam days to finish it.
I never buy single player games - wonder why.
Puzzle solving wise tis was quite simplistic too????? Goes to show eye candy itself doesn't cut it.
Grrrr

[must kill Dell adguy]

Yeah, if you try really really hard to ignore all the cool level-design, and absurdly good graphics engine, then there's not that much left. Although, I'll be playing this for a long time to come....just check out some of the levels, one looks like it straight out of Aliens vs. Predator...but even better, and there is sooo much detail....you've gotta look twice, even three times at everything before moving on to the next visual-"trap"...
