Hello from San Francisco! Were at GDC representing all your hard work with todays release. This update includes a revamped launcher, a new customized Unreal Editor for UT, and the new Unreal Tournament marketplace. New content includes the Malcolm and Necris characters, as well as Outpost 23, a fun and beautiful map thats designed to show where UT can go, and give you content to use in your own maps.

Newboi · Mar 3, 2015

Man, I haven't played the pre-alpha in several months. I'm crazy hyped about the direction its going graphically!

I need to download UE4 tonight and download the UT pre-alpha and check it out.

Dictator93 · Mar 3, 2015

Anyone know how to turn on per object motionblur?

Kezen · Mar 3, 2015

Lighting is really nice.

TheTrain · Mar 3, 2015

120fps on a single 970 [1080p maxed out], it runs well from what i can see

OnionPowder · Mar 3, 2015

Is this going to be DX12?

Gamezone · Mar 3, 2015

Will the game have bots like the good old Unreal Tourament games?

Yep, there are already

nowarning · Mar 3, 2015

Awesome, I've only played a little of the pre-alpha so will have to check this out. If that dude is meant to be the same Malcolm character then wtf is all I have to say.

Kinthalis · Mar 3, 2015

Wow, hype for this game intensifying!

Helznicht · Mar 3, 2015

So you can play this with bots now? How about online? I guess I know what I am doing tonight.

jooey · Mar 3, 2015

is Malcolm modeled after The Rock or something?

SniperHunter · Mar 3, 2015

cant wait to see facing world 2015 remastered.

Stitch · Mar 3, 2015

Oh god, chromatic aberration. 💩

Nothing is final, will probably have tons of skins to choose from.

General Lee · Mar 3, 2015

Looks good. I'm hoping this will end up as fun as it was back in the day, but I tend to be very skeptic about these sort of open "projects" that never come to completion.

RK9039 · Mar 3, 2015

There's another textured map as well which you have to download from the marketplace, it's free. It's called Lea Observatory.

Aesthet1c · Mar 3, 2015

I need to check out this pre-alpha. This is looking so good.

soultron · Mar 3, 2015

Stitch said:

Are you just saying this for no reason?

I'm having a hard time seeing it because, if it's there, it's probably not overdone.

The spaces remind me a lot of HALO games. It's been a long time since I've played a UT game though, so HALO is probably the freshest arena-based thing in my mind.

Eirulan · Mar 3, 2015

Have to try this out when I come home!
How big is the download approx.?

deejay8595 · Mar 3, 2015

Looks amazing. Holy s*** at the waterfall scene.

GroinShooter · Mar 3, 2015

OnionPowder said:

This is what I'm interested about too. Since the game already seems to run insanely well on DX11, I can't even imagine the gains that would come from the step up in the API.
UE3 games have been seen running on DX9-11 so it's only a matter of time that DX12 is implemented into UE4 (if it hasn't already been in some form). Who knows about UT4...

Yeah I know nothings final yet and there should be plenty of skins and models like the past games, but the image is called malcolmFlak and I saw some concept art a while back so wondered if that what they had decided on for Malcolm haha

Oh nice, had to go to work so didn't have time to check it all out.

GuitarAtomik · Mar 3, 2015

Looks amazing. I am so ready for this type of FPS again.

I'm saying it because it looks shitty and feels like being cross-eyed.
Give me clean graphics and not this wannabe-cinematic bullshit where Devs apply every post-processing effect they can find.

Arkam · Mar 3, 2015

mmmm those do look nice. and with UE4 going free to DL yesterday... well played epic you got me excited.

soultron · Mar 3, 2015

Stitch said:

How does this look shitty? It's not overdone like some of the first games to implement CA.

Also, I'm sure you can disable it if it really bothers you that much.

EVIL · Mar 3, 2015

OnionPowder said:

The game is pre alpha and has a long way to go, and UE4 is getting DX12 support in the coming month, so pretty likely

Lactose_Intolerant · Mar 3, 2015

Doesn't scream UT to me. Then again, all I think about is Facing Worlds and Lava Giant when I think of UT

This is the reason I couldn't do UT3. The way the textures came out with that super detailed, wet look on everything...I couldn't focus my eyes on the bots at all.

Deck16 or bust.

I prefer the first game by a country mile, art-direction, maps, gameplay etc. are all way better to me than the sequels. Art direction is my biggy though, none of the games that have released since capture the same kind of tone as the first game IMO.

PnCIa · Mar 3, 2015

It looks fuck awesome, and it runs so good!
Regarding Chromatic Aberration, on the "Epic" postprocessing setting there is some kind of weird blurring effect activated that seems to affect the edges of the screen (your weapon), that makes it look more blurry than it should. I would like to switch off just this one effect.

mnannola · Mar 3, 2015

That flak cannon looks amazing. Man I cannot wait for another UT. Epic is firing on all cylinders lately, FTP Unreal Tournament and free to download Unreal Engine.

Bl@de · Mar 3, 2015

Awesome. It's back baby.

Now come on id Software. Quake 5 Arena². Do it.

SneakyStephan · Mar 3, 2015

I tried it out last night, it looks pretty amazing.
Visibility is really good too (never had any problems detecting enemies against the background ) which is a relief because ut would not be playable if it had this problem (which pretty much every single fps game from the past 8 years suffers from) .

My poor little potato pc though, I get like 30-50 fps on max settings (medium textures though cos I only got 1GB vram)
At least frametimes seem really consistent, thank god for that, no stutters.

Now I wish dirty bomb had used this engine instead of ue3 , that game is amazing but the stutters ruin it for me

Raide · Mar 3, 2015

I hope the UE4 expansion and recently making it free opens up more than just a load of shooters. Really interested to see something that shows off the engine in a much later scale. Such a great engine and I hope more smaller developers get into it.

The Cowboy · Mar 3, 2015

Heck I'd settle for a high res version of Quake 3 Arena (with Team Arena) with proper widescreen support, I'd pay AAA game money for that.

Looking very good, will have to give this an install and see how my R9 280X holds up with it in its current state.

tuxfool · Mar 3, 2015

It plays like UT. I missed the shock rifle.

The map in OP is fun, but it is a tad small; some of the non-textured maps are a bit more fun.

I'd be surprised if you can't disable chromatic abberration via config file, console command or in-game option.

But yeah, 99% of the time, the effect is worthless, distracting garbage.

Sounds like Vignetting and/or depth of field

In game there is no chromatic aberration. Or at least the effect is a lot lighter than in the first screenshot.

I'm seeing it in tons of screenshots.

Life is Strange does this. It's a vignette that applies chromatic aberration (which is where the blur comes from). Really, really annoying.

epmode said:

In the past, unreal engine games have been pretty configurable. The settings are usually easy to find. Has anyone been messing with them and\or checking to see if you can still bind keys to the usual commands (like ToggleHud, FOV, etc)?

dmr87 · Mar 3, 2015

This game on a high hz, high res g-synced monitor is going to be awesome.

VisceralBowl · Mar 3, 2015

The Editor has some unfinished test maps that look pretty cool.

brobban · Mar 3, 2015

Looks great except the excessive blur/CA at the edges/weapon. Makes me feel cross eyed, and actually feels like it could give me a headache looking at it. But I guess it can be disabled.

Oh okay, gamedevs fully chasing the cheap digital camera look.
Hopefully in 5 years time everything will be instagram filtered too!

Yeah, you're right. The effect is a lot more prevalent on the corners of the view. You don't really notice it as much when you're playing as you're focused on the center of the screen.

I wonder if the effect is helping to improve the effect of the temporal AA.

injurai · Mar 3, 2015

So hyped. Will need a new PC for this.
