Unreal 2
Info and Shots
Having infiltrated Digital Extreme's high-tech HQ, our man escaped with a few new shots of this exciting X-Box first-person shooter. Read his report on what he could divulge from the secret documents he obtained, and check out the new screenshots. This page will self desruct in thirty-seconds. Or not.

Unreal Championship is the latest instalment in Epic’s burgeoning Unreal series, that will be hitting Microsoft’s powerful Xbox console, shortly after it’s European debut in Spring of 2002. The game seems to be based on similar values to those of the PC’s earlier Unreal-outing, ‘Tournanent’, based on a multiplayer style of gameplay. Championship will be one of the first dedicated first-person shooter offerings on the new machine, and as such the reception it receives should prove most interesting. This coupled with the multiplayer focus of the title looks certain to broaden the Xbox’s appeal - as well as perhaps prompting many of the existing user-base into their first bout of on-line action.
The game is built on the sturdy foundations of the Unreal engine technology; Epic’s ubiquitous software ‘motor’ powering many of the most attractive action titles currently in development, such as Duke Nukem Forever, Thief III, Deus Ex 2, and Rage’s upcoming Mobile Forces. This technology has been taken and enhanced by developer’s Digital Extremes, for the Xbox platform, and it has been enhanced by them still further, with an advanced particle system (providing visual flair in the way of smoke and weapon-trails, etc.) Apparently this advancement is at it’s most brilliant when a player runs through a cloud of smoke and the cloud reacts by wafting realistically. The other ‘big thing’ they’re brining to the fold is a new shadowing system, which allows the designer to create far more realistic and detailed shadow effects, such as the shadow of a fan spinning and effecting the lighting of an environment and players in it. Such a feature must add enormously to the potential for generating atmosphere in an environment; and we look forward to witnessing this particularly. You can see this effect in the screenshots that adorn this page, too.

This new unreal looks tight (good) will there b a pc version or wht
Hi here, as far as I know there is no direct port to the PC planned - however, Unreal 2 will be out for PC, as will the rumoured Unreal Warfare; currently in production with Epic.
Stick first person shooters on pc till the console has a keyboard , layouts ussally suck =/

I'm not swapping my PC! Just when X-Box peeps are sitting smug about Unreal Championship, I'll be whipping out meh Unreal 2 and shoving their faces in it.<br><br>Marvellous.
you can keep your xbox version, i'll be playing ut2003 on my pc and downloading all the best mods for it
Secret Agent, you're the bomb-digity! Cool preview that you typed. Although, that other guy swore he saw those screenshot before. Interesting...
No this is for better or worse xbox exclusive. But dont forget about UT2
this game sucks.the screenshots look like halo backgrounds. the game is terrible and so is the xbox its self.PC beats everything.They should have made it for the PC.UT 2003 is better than this .I want the creaters to hear this comment.

This game looks so good,I just cant wait to get my hands on it .
championship is going to be sick.
will there be bots for multyplayer like in perfect dark??
Yo i agree with Dre down there. Why diss the XBOX cause u don't got one and u got a PC i have both and both are great the XBOX is the best console ever. So lets all jus be civil and enjoy the great games these peeps work hard to make and be happy, cause if y'all aren't well i'm gonna be :-).
i have played the dreamcast version and its nice.i have a xbox and i cant wait for unreal 2 to come out, but i reaserved unreal 2003 and will be playing that a lot,if you want to get unreal 2003 reserve it.
sorry guys, us xbox users are also having unreal 2 and doom 3, and they will more or less be optimised for the xbox, just like morrowind... better frame rate
when is the next new game coming out.
I can't wait .... better have it out soon.
These picture isnt new, there just screenshot.
But the picture down in mid is new for me :P. When is it gonna be released? nice weapons you beauty
Oh yeha i forgot to say that Unreal Championship is actually Unreal Tournament 2003 everything is almost the same
this game is gonna be bad news(thats good)!Only thing that suxs about it is that it dont come out for a another couple o monthes
Yeah, i can't see the need to insult the fact that xbox doesnt got a keyboard, and bashing is just because of that. That's idiotic. The natural way of talking is thru voice. It's more comfortable playing with a controller, and its more relaxing playing in front of a TV then straining your eyes on a computer monitor, in your computer chair. I like my couch much better then this chair. I like PC and XBOX both, but until PC gets into my living room, the XBOX is just as good. So how 'bout you idiots shut up and stop insulting either PC or xbox. Eh? Got nothin' better to do i'd bet...
Yes I have a video-out on my PC, but PC games and programs aren't made for that crappy resolution :P
pc blows unless you have a 3000 dollar alienware comp but x box was only 299. go figure kid
I have downloaded the media player clips of unreal championship and have to say that the frame rate looks unplayable. Is this just the download? has anyone seen it in the flesh (maybe E3) because at the moment I am not impressed. Plus we have all seen the images that have been floating around the net for an eternity now, do these screenshots represent the real quality of in game shots or are they just touched up renders
uc is for people who dont wanna waste $3,000 on a new comp
XBOX, if you do'nt like ya never played it, my mate bought a brand new computer ( £1000) said it was better than my xbox. Came round ta my house, played on my xbox, bought one (£200 ) its Better.
is the original ut2003 better than the ut 2003 beta ver???
unreal on xbox will be incredible on a big-ass TV with DTS sound,i only hope they keep that 60 fps,and also the promised downloads with xbox-live(mods,patch),otherwise it won't stand a chance against the unreal PC universe...
will the pc versions of Unreal games now have voice communication built-in?

it is super
Y'all are some godamn girls.
Smoke some phatties, chug some forties. Then everything will seem righty tighty. Gottsta get your head right.
x-box is a computer you dumb ass
who says we can't download from the almighty unreal tornament x-box is a computer you dumb ass
You! The X-Box hater - you're probably running a damn PI with 100 MHz... so hush! I'm running an AMD Athlon 2200+ XP with a 128MB GeForce4 Ti4600 but I'm still getting Unreal Championship on X-Box. Why? Why do you ask? Everybody has their own preference when it comes to controls - I myself like having a gamepad to play FPS games. Also, having the hassle of the software [UT2003 or U2] not working on your PC [you're just screwed] and not able to bring the game back because it's an opened package [I work at Gamestop and we don't take back opened PC games] I also like playing with my friends who lives around my area [easier link up with the X-box than PC when playing with friends] Overall, I love both PC and X-Box and I do have both... X BOX rocks! PS2 blows!
It looks pretty sick but do you any info on when it's coming out in Australia?
