No problem.

[King of Fighters]

Personally I think half life 2 will be better than any other fps to come out in a long time, even better than amazing fps's like halo 2 and doom 3. What does everyone else think?

Arr, matey. You left out the 4th Generation build of the Unreal engine. It's gonna be grand.

 

Half-Life 2 looks good, about on par with the 3rd Gen Unreal engine.

 

Halo 2 is pretty good looking.

 

Doom 3 is.. blech. Sub-par compared to the above three.

In terms of story, it'll be half life 2 without a doubt. Graphics look to be doom 3, but you'll probably have to spend quite a bit of money to make your pc run it when it comes out.

Whats the 4rth generation build of the unreal engine warp spider? Is that sepposed to be a new unreal game? The last one wasnt really that good, even though it was sepposed to be the savior of the fps genre.

 

Also anyone else, if there are any fps's comming out in the next year that you think are better than the ultra hyped ones i listed, feel free to comment on them.

From what I've seen, Half life 2 looks incredible. In terms of graphics and physics it's the best looking thing I've ever seen.

 

I never played the original half life, except for mods (counter strike, earth special forces), but from what I hear, it ruled, so HL2 should be amazing.

I think HL2 graphics are better than the current unreal engines by far. It will be even runnings between HL2 and Doom 3 graphics its just they have totally different styles and different requirements for diferent gameplay styles. The Quake 4 engine should be interesting aswel as it will be similar to Doom 3 but the games been out sourced so the engine will probably change a bit.

 

Haven't heard anything about the next gen unreal engine though.

Uhh.. the Unreal engine is a game engine used in probrably half the FPS made today. (Epic actually calls the third generation the second, but most developers consider the original engine different from the "tournament" builds.

 

Games already released (Third generation):

 

Unreal Tournament 2003

 

Unreal Championship

 

America's Army

 

Splinter Cell

 

Unreal II

 

Rainbox Six: Raven Shield

 

Postal 2

 

Devastation

 

Games still under development:

 

Star Wars: Republic Commando

 

Shadow Ops: Red Mercury

 

Magic: The Gathering Battlegrounds (this will probrably be stupid )

 

Unreal Tournament 2004 (Does really count, since it's so similar to UT2003)

 

Advent Rising

 

Tribes III: Vengeance

 

Dead Man's Hand

 

Black 9

 

Men of Valor

 

XIII (listed as under development, but I believe some parts of it have already been released)

 

Lineage II

 

The Lost

 

Loophole

 

Speedball Arena

 

Deus Ex 2

 

Thief III

 

Dark Sector

 

Duke Nukem Forever

 

... as you can see, there are a lot of games released using that engine, I'm sure that combined, they have a following far greater than any of the other 3d engines.
