[quote]Epic Games appears poised to reveal the future of Unreal Tournament Thursday, May 8, at 2 p.m. ET in a Twitch stream, according to multiple Tweets from Epic employees today.
Epic Games VP of product development Paul Meegan tweeted that those interested in "the future of Unreal Tournament" can tune into the UnrealEngine Twitch channel at that time.
"You want to know about the future of #UnrealTournament?" Epic co-founder Mark Rein wrote asked on Twitter. He also included hashtags for #FirstBlood and #UnrealDev, just as Meegan did. Dana Cowley, Epic's marketing manager, also tweeted with the First Blood hashtag, and included a link to a YouTube video from user CoDxForCe. Posted in 2011, the two-second video speaks the phrase "first blood," which plays after the first kill in a map.[/quote]
YES! The UT games are SO much fun to play, but they're all kind of dead now (except for UT 2004). Either way, a new UT game is long overdue, so I'm very excited about this.

I only hope it'll funnel more people to [url=http://www.quakelive.com/]Quake Live[/url]. I don't like UT. The clunky movement system, and plethora of weapons . . .

I thought that with the death of Halo, Arena shooters were dead. Needless to say, I'm excited about this.

This is a video game that requires. *No one will play it. *Mostly

Hell, It's about time.

Edited by Mini Me: 5/4/2014 7:38:40 PMI had so much fun playing Unreal Tournament. About damn time we might get a new one. Finally a game I might be able to look forward to.
-
Never really been into Arena shooters, but UT is alot of fun with friends. Looking forward to it.
-
Well that is awesome, however I will remain skeptical. Most shooters that have been released in the past few years have been massive disappointments. Though if they keep to the unreal formula it should be a fun game, and a refreshing change of pace from the current fps's out there.
-
YESSSSS. Finally a unique skill-based shooter.
-
Epic is just going to turn it into a casual catering shitfest like they did gears 3.

Edited by EvilTaffyapple: 5/4/2014 10:08:01 PMI can't wait. I'm so sick to death of "brown and bloom" shooters like COD and Battlefield. We are sorely lacking with Arena shooters, and Unreal is a great series that is long overdue a new instalment. Can't wait.
-
Such great news. Thought it was dead.
-
Think it'll try to fill the competitive void that's been around for so long?

Edited by Yonko: 5/4/2014 9:42:08 PMCool, but I think I'd rather have another Quake arena game.

This is amazing. We need more Arena shooters.
