  1. This brought back so many memories. #Quake3 and #UT99 were a huge part of my life back then, genuinely good times.

    Now #gameplay footage from #Quake4: The Awakening has surfaced on #YouTube, an expansion that was cancelled after only ten months of development. The footage shows early environments, experimental mechanics and content that was clearly never finished.

    Mostly documentary value, but still a fascinating look at what could have been.
    Apparently some elements like the Dead Zone #multiplayer mode actually made it into the 1.3 update back then.

    Bittersweet to watch.

  7. I was poking around a source port called Quake3e last night. The new renderer can add subtle UT99-style coronal glows to light sources.

    It amuses me how much of a tell that is for UT99 environments. Q3A's feel shifts dramatically towards UT99 with these flares turned on.

  8. Ganz okay für das erste Botmatch seit 14 Jahren ​:neocat_laugh_sweat:​ #linux #gaming #ut99

  9. Playing some Unreal Tournament 99 and remembered that the first time I heard System of a Down was because some kid had embedded a WAV of "Toxicity" in a giant level of a bedroom & bathroom where everyone was mouse-sized. #gaming #unreal #ut99

  10. I decided to re-unearth one of my old UnrealTournament "machinima" things, from 2006! XD peak cinema!!!

    Would be targeting a #Europe friendly time but I won't stop people based in other regions from joining though. ;) A game and Mumble server for (optional) voice communication shall be provided.

    FYI, Unreal Tournament (and Unreal #UT2004) are available for free these days and there are simple all-in-one installers available for all platforms (Linux, Windows, macOS), modernizing many aspects of the game, thanks to #OldUnreal:

  13. To co, jakaś partyjka w #UT99? ;)
    (Sorki za dziwne kadrowanie, ale najważniejsze info jest widoczne.)

  14. I see the kids are using the term gibbing as slang for #gaming. As an old Unreal Tournament fan that warms my heart.

  15. I typically don't like remasters of games, but #UT99 remastered in #UE5 would be something I would love. Just sing this intro makes me drool. #PCGaming youtu.be/0MYWzuupqx0?si=VMrTjO

  16. This patch allows you to run the old Unreal Tournament (1999) on Apple Silicon. I got UT running with it in a few minutes on my M1 MacBook Air and it plays fantastically. Plus it can connect you to still active multiplayer servers.
