FYI:

A Windows demo for UT2K4 is available at http://www.unrealtournament.com/

Epic claimed that the Mac / Linux demos should follow suit very soon after the Win one... we'll see.

edit: To quote the man, Ryan Gordon, himself:

" - Demos will be available for all these platforms at roughly the same time as win32...but there might be a few hours of stagger time; I'm one guy doing all these ports.

I bet it runs better than that POS Halo.

firstly, judge_fire, thanks for the info.

secondly, i wonder if "a few hours" means 4 or 5 hours or 24 or 48?

Oh God...I can't wait. Another UT to fuel my addiction. Homework just took the backseat. Again.

It was required by her Master's program! She's a Mac user, too!

Haha. Is there any question?

I am really looking forward to Unreal 2004. It seems like they tried to incorporate much of the type of gameplay that has made Halo so popular. Vehicles, for one.

I can't wait for the game to be released officially. Hopefully by then I will have gotten a processor upgrade card and a new video card for my machine. Because without those two upgrades, I somehow doubt that my UT2004 experience would be much fun.

2003 runs superb on my Alubook at full 1400x900 res. Just drop it to 16 bit. Who cares about a little extra color. It's a shoot em up, not a Da Vinci oil.

This game owns on PC, I'm d/loading the Mac version now at a very slow rate...lookin' great so far

RedStar · Feb 12, 2004, 01:05 AM

my Ti 800 is pretty much unplayable even running at 640x480 and on the lowest settings. Hopefully the full version will be optimized better.

My QuickSilver runs it fairly choppily @ 1024x768x16bit. I haven't gone down to a lower resolution yet, but I imagine that it would help.

1280x1024 here. Smooth, like you say. On my PC. And fun. I might actually buy 2K4, I didn't buy 2K3. I really like the vehicles, and assault mode.
