OldUnreal (Engine)

Do you think this was appropriate to say? Should I add anything or type up another email?  Here is what I said:
Dear Bleszinski,
As a an avid gamer and an Unreal fanatic, it has come to my attention that the Unreal community is in desperate need of an Unreal 3. Unreal 1 was by far the best game ever made. Unreal 2 was on the disappointing side but was still an overall good game. What left us disappointed, was the fact that Unreal 2 had little to no relation to the original.
The only thing I request is a direct sequel to Unreal 1 or another Unreal game in Na Pali. It should have the same aliens as Unreal 1 with coop. There should also be plenty of new features. If you do read your fan mail I hope you either respond or take this into consideration. Thank you for your time Mr.Bleszinski. I hope to see a sequel in the works in the near future.

Your loyal Unreal fan,
Skaarj

Gears of War is probably what he is concentrating on atm. You should have also included an invite to register here. On another note he is my favorite mapper.

Ok I told him about this site and told him he is welcome to join.

I never knew CliffyB had a MySpace...

Good point. Hopefully after UT3 and GOW2 we'll get U3. And maybe then UC3. Three Spree!

Yeah, i always did notice his maps in the original unreal, i'd hope unreal gets some justice instead of that lame-ass unreal 2 for a "sequel"..

And i hope it ships with coop and online play :O

I'd say it would be nice if Unreal III was a kind of a linking story... Like John Dalton crashes on Na Pali after getting away from the Dorian Grey, and meets Malcolm there Links U1, U2 and UTs!
And surely it should be with co-op and botmatches. Nothing much tho, only standard DM, CTF and maybe something else. I'm sure Epic wouldn't make the same mistakes that made U2 not as popular (replayability!).

Pitbull quote about Cliffy B: "On another note he is my favorite mapper."



I agree. I've always liked his designs more than the other maps included with the game. Mr. SledDog is a close 2nd.

And I'd bet that Cliffy B knows about OldUnreal, otherwise 227 would not be available.

As for 'Gears of War.' It sorta is the continuation of the original story. Once the other nasty races in the universe know about humans (since their crash landing on the just discovered planet), Conflicts and wars develop between the human and space critters.

As for the original storyline - here's a trivia question for you. The storyline was developed based on a 'single-player' character - a prisoner. Who is that character?

It's the default Female1. Yes, the game was originally designed with a female as the main character.

But most players (being guys) used a male skin.

On the other hand Return to Na Pali main character is a male, namely Carter. He even wears prisoner clothes with Vortex Rikers logo.
And Cliff isn't CliffyB any more, as you can see here http://liandri.beyondunreal.com/Cliff_Bleszinski

Yup. Carter is the character for Part 2. It's one of those quirks about the game I love. There's also a Canadian flag on the nastie's rockets.

Return to Napali was the sequel to unreal1... why need another? You get away as far as I can see.

And there was Unreal II that was in the same universe. Obviously, we have the whole universe for Unreal III, Unreal IV, Unreal V, Unreal VI etc. It doesn't matter if the player is Prisoner 849 or John Dalton. Heck, maybe they're the same

heh, if you've read any of the messages in Bluff, you'd be able to interpret that Prisoner 849 is a chick...

so, if 849 and Dalton are the same, then he'd be a tranny...  besides, when 849 left Na Pali, she was in a ship with no food, and no water (assuming she didn't have nali fruit seeds with her).  How could anyone get off a planet in a cramped ship like that and get to a colony within at least a month unable to travel in hyperspace?

Read the post above...

UnrealSP is doing a sequel of one of the survivors from the bodega-bay, so there will be alot more of Na Pali explored...

Also, Prisoner 849 couldn't be Dalton because none of the playable characters of UnrealI are black.

Unless the character desides to pull an MJ...

Frouste, what messages? "HAVE FAITH AND NEVER SWAY FROM YOUR BELIEFS..."?
The time is quite different too... ~2211: Unreal and RtNP; 2251: U2. 50 years, quite a long time.
I just mean that it doesn't matter who is the main character

On a seperate note:

It'd be great if they made Unreal3 have a co-operative campaign that plays like the single-player, but the more friends you have playing with you, the harder it gets (making teamwork more crucial than your score). Additionally, give the game a competitive multiplayer that plays like UT.

I just hope that they don't put a class system in the multiplayer...

But that's just what I would like from Unreal3...

Ok, ok. Then how do you get through the whole place without going to the bathroom, or even eating in that matter???? How are you able to still walk after getting hit by a rocket? (that is if you have full health) My point is, it doesn't matter...

LOL!! What?!?

Nali fruit...  And you could say the same about the TV show, 24... nobody EVER uses the restroom, 'cept for making calls...  :-X

The rockets, dude, it is quite possible that you could get bad burns and semi-nasty wounds from the rockets at best, and at worst... you get the picture...

I hope you're not thinking the Monty Python picture...

Why wouldn't it matter? you could set the bleeding to deal infinite damage until you grab a healing item and your realism is handled...  but it wouldn't make sense for your head to pop off when you die from it...  :o

Sorry about the font, but I like Courier...

ok I guess it would be cool if unreal 3's story line was prisoner 849 getting hungry and going back to napali to get food and then getting ambushed. Yeah... real awesome...

Maybe they could make Prisoner 849 get recaptured by another passing ship. Then they could send him/her to another prison colony. Thus, you break out, and, in true Unreal 1 fashion, go through temples, outside areas and crashed ships to finally reach a ship at the end, which will take you to where ever.

Maybe down the line they can retire 849 and make any future Unreal games have random people with random names crash on random planets.

And make it so that somehow, Tarydium and Skaarj will always tie into every game.

If it sounds like I'm making fun of the Unreal series, well, I was just trying to add a little humour. You wouldn't ever see me making bad comments about Unreal. Well, the first game, anyway.

EDIT: OH GOD THE TYPOS! They hurt...

What if Prisoner 849 wasn't the only surviving prisoner? Or what if one of the guards / crew members of the Vortex Rikers survived? Maybe it could tell their story.

Hearing the story of one of the crew members of the ISV-Kran would also be very interesting.

There were a lot of people that landed on Na Pali, and maybe even a rescue squad for ISV-Kran or Vortex Rikers came / are coming. Lots of possibilities for interesting stories.

Good idea! It would also be pretty cool if prisoner 849 crashed and died and you find her and a translator message to go along .

That would be cool, however not everyone chooses FemaleOne as their player (like it was meant to be). I, myself, prefer MaleThree for some reason. Must be the goatee and ponytail lol. Maybe they just find the ship and a translator message like the player was there (perhaps the body was taken away or fell out of the ship while falling) still possessing the mysterious quality that UnrealI had.
