While it’s not ideal there is something actively played out there, with plenty of custom maps and kind of recent…
I’ll copy-paste a previous comment about it here:
Though development is long dead, the servers were taken offline recently and it was delisted by Epic, people are still playing the Unreal Tournament pre-alpha (commonly called UT4) which you can get here: www.ut4ever.org/downloads
The download should come with the unofficial update which gives access to the private servers, I play on the Unreal Carnage servers regularly which often gets 8-15 players at a time, more than enough for some deathmatch. Would love to see some more people around!
(Mind I’m in New Zealand, which is why my ping is so high, the netcode handles it well somehow)
The shift from “we’re making a fun and relatively casual arena shooter with a neat gimmick and extremely rewarding fundamentals” to “we’re making a generic e sport shooter” was swift and, frankly, uncalled for.
My friends and I all LOVED the pick-up nature of SG1. We’re all adults with busy lives, so hopping into a ~5 minute casual match was just so easy. And the casual nature made it feel like we could have success without “grinding” the game. I guess that is explicitly not the intent of SG2.
Nope it’s not… Another live service with a never ending treadmill of rinse repeat and spend on micro transactions…oh and be sure to play as long as possible for engagement metrics.
Their trailer with esports people had me going who even are these people and why would I believe anything coming out of their mouths when they are the equivalent of infomercial sales people with them being paid to be in it. Is it really the best way to market a game?
DO ISAAC YOU PUSSIES. MAKE AN ELEVEN MINUTE ANIMATION ABOUT A RELIGIOUS WACKJOB HEARING GOD TELL HER TO KILL HER SON, WHO FLEES TO THE BASEMENT AND FIGHTS AN ABORTION WITH HIS TEARS
Speaking of Spelunky, does anyone know where you can download the original open-source version? The link on the official website times out, and the discussion forums seem dead too.
To be fair he didn’t know Samus was a woman, Kid Icarus’ name was actually Pit, or that Metroid was the name of the alien not the planet, so yes… he was definitely a joke to me.
Sadly the studio had a lot of people leaving from what i gathered, tango studio may not be the same as before microsoft betrayal… But it’s a good thing for the artists tho !
I didn’t know that, but it would make sense. I imagine many had already been looking for new jobs before they knew this would happen. Hopefully though something good will come from this.
can they just please make a lower budget game for the sake of branching out instead of pushing millions into a game expecting it to explode in sales? no? too much to ask? ok…
I’m sorry but the cast alone is proof they didn’t give a fuck about the fans. It’s also dumb as fuck how they’re “telling their own story” and aren’t ballsy enough to go the route fallout did (telling a good story within established canon).
I’m not going to see a movie about borderlands if the established, existing core character cast isn’t literally from the game actors. Big celebs can be cool if they’re their own unique characters, but core, pre-existing characters should be played from the games.
Should clarify: if you’re going to use the main characters in the series, they should be using the actual actors. If you want to make some new characters, then that’s fine. If these guys were brand new vault hunters, I’d be far more forgiving.
Joltzdude thought the movie was pretty bad, with few good moments. He’s one of the most wholesome people I’ve ever run across, and a massive Borderlands nerd. So while I normally try to make my own decisions on these things, I am willing to bet it was pretty bad.
The movie feels like it was made after they picked the cast then curated it to the actors instead of the source material. I know everyone seems to like the cast choices but I genuinely think it’s the worst line up they could have done. The closet to acceptable would be jack black. I honestly don’t get why they wouldn’t just do the voice actor for him or find someone who is close to a perfect match.
I’ve got a home copy to watch tonight for free and I only have that because a friend sent it to me. I don’t even wanna pay the electricity to watch it.
