Talk about the timing on this video! Unreal and Unreal Tournament are both now free and just officially preserved by Internet Archive *today* with the support of Epic Games!
@gamingquarterly6353 UT 2004 bigger and better and way more mods, skins, maps, user maps and more. Vehicle capture the flag is fun game mode too It has the most beloved from UT99 too . And you can connect it to openspy to play online. Strongly recommend it. İ played Unreal Tournament 3 too. It has better graphics, but Ut2004 plays and feels better than UT3 in my opinion
@@gamingquarterly6353 lemme know if you need a copy. I own the entire Unreal collection on GOG before they delisted. Offline installers are the best thing about GOG (and no DRM, so you actually _own_ what you purchase). You have a discord?
Great video. Unreal Tournament remains one of the best FPS ever. I'm still playing it from time to time. Also I must mention the fantastic soundtrack. I have it saved as mp3 in my digital library and I'm listening to it pretty often, it's that great.
Thankfully Unreal Gold and Unreal Tournament are now both free on the Internet Archive, so these masterpieces can still be enjoyed by new players today 😎
I think the arean shooters nowadays do lean too much on weapon and armor customization along with special powers and such. I tried playing overwatch one time, and could not keep up with it all. Great game though, but way over the head for me.
Funny you mention pinball cause one of the main financial support that led to the design of the unreal engine and the first game was the sales of the pinball game Epic had made years earlier. I miss arcades as well.
I always hated UT, I dunno why but I just never liked the feel of the shooting and moving. It's still something I hate today with shooters in UE4 or whatever version they're up to now. I instantly could feel Insurgency Sandstorm was on UE and not Source anymore and it ruined the whole game for me. Why Titanfall and Apex Legends felt so great and Jedi Survivor felt so bad to me.... Just something about UE that I do not like.
It's funny you mention that, but you are not alone. My friend is a HUGE FPS fan and plays games like call of duty and other games of that genre, even way back then, when military FPS games were a new breed, yet could never get into the frantic pacing of UT. Even to this day.
@@gamingquarterly6353 I loved Quake, I just hated Unreal Engine games and I had no fanboy allegiance, just something always feels off about that engine.
Unreal Tournament is as fun today as it was in 1999. Should the series be brought back by Epic? Does Epic even care at this point?
They tried bringing it back until they realized that they could make way more money supporting Fortnite.

That's awesome to hear 👏
Damn. Good timing indeed. I was not aware and another viewer posted the same thing. Gotta go play the lotto now.
UT2004 is my favorite. i played UT99 a lot when it came out.
I've yet to play UT 2004. Another addition to my ever growing backlog.

Unreal was such an awesome game plus the music from Unreal to UT was amazing.

Can't argue with that. I agree that I should have put a bit more attention to the music, cause it is great.

Thank goodness for the internet archive. And it looks like it is back online after that hack a few weeks back. Thanks for the tip!!
It really should, and make it simple as always, we dont need another customize your gear and weapons 😅
Thanks bro 👍🏼

It was cool game. Can't be sure now, but maybe the first fps I played.
PC is where it is at, and always have been when it comes to fps.
I miss pinball. It's simply a superior form of gaming. I miss real arcade games as well. Sitting down while gaming is sub par.

Lava giant.
good CTF stage.
@ I once played it for 17 hours straight with bots
wanted to play online 2004 only to realize this, where are the russians and their servers?
instead of hacking banks and government sites, they need to be keeping UT servers up. 😅
