Unreal Preview

Post by Anarchy »

Hi guys,


I found an interesting preview of Unreal dating from August 1997 on youtube. I'm not sure if this has been posted before or if you guys have already seen it but I said I'd post it anyways



It shows some interesting footage of the beta version of the game, some footage of UED and an interview with Mark Rein of Epic that's in english(Rest of the video is in German).

Regards,
Anarchy

I saw this a long time back, but still an amazing video. The only one in fact, that actually shows the Automag (Betamag?...w/e) being used. Totally different animations but it didn't show the melee altfire :(

The version I am most interested in is mid 1996-early 1997. I've only ever found screenshots and a small sampler of an early version of DigSh.

Sadly, someone who DID have the betas lost them in a terrible flood (Along with many personal posessions) so we probably won't ever see them. (Which is a real shame :()

It's neat to see the passion Epic had for the game back then.

Seems like the Automag went through a few versions...

(Horrible lighting in this last screenshot I know)

I would do anything to get my hands on any older versions of Unreal, aside from the 2 already leaked.

Back during that time, the player was supposed to be able to turn into different monsters to overcome puzzles and my guess is that those bars are energy bars or something for each monster. I've never seen a screenshot to prove this, I only read it in a few archived places that got early previews of Unreal.

That first screenshot of the automag with the mismatched quadshot skin on it, sure looks like a piece of s[ch8204]h[ch8204]i[ch8204]t...

I wonder if there's any way to retrieve the resources used to make the status bar, since it looks alot better than Unreal 1's default HUD...
