I personally enjoy the music of this game. If you bought the Unreal Anthology collection, you received a very nice soundtrack.

It's free on Steam too.

I can't link to the free item alone

 

[Redshirt]

Sweet. Thanks!

 

[MrTroubleMaker]

Nice!

 

[Scopa]

Thanks for the heads up. I’ve almost bought it from GoG a couple of times.

 

[Spukc]

no unreal tournament right ?

No, but it is on sale at GoG atm.

 

[brap]

Cool. Had this on my wishlist for years.

I’ve been loving all these free games on GOG. Before I buy any games on PC, I now check to see if they’re on GOG first.

I have played for about 15 minutes and I'm surprised how well the graphics have aged.

It does have some graphics improvement over the vanilla version already or is this a future update/project?

 

[Tarin02543]

No I do not think so, however there appear to be 16:9 resolutions available so this version is definitely adapted to modern systems.

 

[deriks]

Maybe I pick for old times sake. But Tournament still is the shit.

 

[JimboJones]

Thanks for the heads up.

 

[JohnnyFootball]

Turns out I had already bought it!

Yeah, if you liked the game back in the day it still holds nostalgic value and looks pretty good.

If you never played the game it’s unlikely to be appreciated.

 

[asker]

Wow what a coincidence. I had the urge to buy this and play it again so I was hovering the purchase button no more than a week ago. Tonight I return to Na Pali!

I notice that Unreal series is in the top 10 on Gog right now. (UT2004 is number 2!!)

Also GOG has the complete set of Unreal titles at £5.96 at the moment..

• Unreal Gold (the Original game with latest patches + Return To Na Pali Expansion)
• Unreal 2
• Unreal Tournament 2004 (Editors Choice Edition)
• Unreal Tournament GOTY

GOG


Just buy it people.. thank me later..

...But Tournament still is the shit.

Can confirm.

I installed it on my newly built retro gaming rig just to test it out (via a physical CD before this sale) and -oh my word- I'm addicted all over again. All of the weapons and secondary fire options feel amazing. The controls are tight and it's ultra fast. The "wwwaaah" pickup/charge sound of the flak cannon is so damn good. Gibs. Gibs everywhere.
