For me, UT‘s style was exemplified not just by intense combat, but by the variety of its settings, which ranged from grimy, abandoned industrial buildings, to natural beauty spots including alien forests, to literally on top of a spaceship travelling through hyperspace. The levels themselves feel like UT levels, but the look is a little clean for my taste. Excepting the lack of double jump, it feels right. I haven’t really played around with the new modes too much yet, but if they can get the old stuff right, to me that’s what’s really important.

Close quarters combat on the Outpost 23 map, new to this instalment, is as intense as the series has ever been. Team Deathmatch, my favourite mode of old, feels as crazy and chaotic than ever. In a way, however, that just makes it more satisfying when you do pull it off, especially with the awesome gravity well kills it produces. One thing I’ve noticed, however, and this may just be a case of me being out of practice, is that the shock combo, triggered by shooting a regular shock beam at the Shock Rifle’s alt-fire projectile, seems a lot more fiddly than it ever used to. Best of all, they look great and feel great to use. The Lightning Gun still zooms, but now it has a charge shot that makes it more than just a Sniper Rifle with fancier particle effects. It was cool to see both the Sniper Rifle and Lightning Gun available to play. My old favourite the flak cannon is back with hailstorms of shrapnel and explosive shells, and the ubiquitous Redeemer nuke launcher can still lay waste to everyone in the room, including you.

Basic stuff like the Translocator, Enforcer, Rocket Launcher, Shock Rifle, Shield Gun is all there and feels authentic, plus killing people by translocating into them never gets old.

Hopefully, this is just a pre-alpha limitation and not a design choice.Ī full complement of weaponry (minus the Target Painter superweapon) is in evidence. The only area in which the movement is noticeably lacking right now is the absence of the double jump. On top of the classic movement framework, the devs have added wall running, a Mega Man style slide manoeuvre, and slope dashing, which can be used to get up certain walls at high speed. Dashing is still triggered by the double-tap gesture (e.g.: tapping W twice will perform a forward dash) but you can also hold shift, which is handy for performing lots of dashes in sequence. Dashes, wall dashes, elevator jumping, shield gun jumping, rocket jumping etc. But, as an old hand of the arena shooter, I was impressed with how well the game has already captured the instantly recognisable movement of the older games. I would have thought the taint of Sonic ’06, officially titled Sonic the Hedgehog (go ahead and try to guess why they didn’t want that title associated with that game), would keep people away, but no!Ĭurrently Unreal Tournament is in a public pre-alpha, so it’s very rough around the edges. For the past few years, Epic has been crowd developing a new addition to the series, the somewhat irritatingly named Unreal Tournament. For me there was nothing more satisfying than a round on Face 3 with zoom instagib. Unreal Tournament, in its various incarnations, and especially 2004-for my money the best arena shooter ever made-took up a large part of my teenage gaming time. Well, maybe ease is the wrong word to use when talking about this series. To begin with, there’s nothing like visiting an old friend to ease yourself back in. As usual I make no claim to objectivity and am probably wrong about everything, but thaaaaaaat’s my life! To that end I’ll be trying out as many new-ish (and maybe old-ish as well) titles as I can and recording my thoughts here. Anyway, with my GPU situation fairly well proportioned to the rest of my system, I reckon now is the time to get in on all the gaming I’ve been missing. Alas, I ain’t got thousands lying around to spend on my shit, not to mention I only need 1080p, so this really quite amazingly good budget card will more than suffice. In a direct comparison the GTX 1050 Ti is obviously much better, with over four times the amount of VRAM and DX12 compatibility, but in terms of what the 8800 was in its own time, nothing less than a Titan would suffice for parity. I finally got a new graphics card after years of nursing a much-in-need-of-retirement Nvidia 8800 GTX.
