HERE it is (Lots of pics at pages 3 and 4)

I GOT IT! I GOT IT! It's HERE!


My new hair dryer just came in the mail.

I rolled hard.Let me ask you a few things about your hair dryer though.

Does air shoot out of the top or at the end of the dryer?

Do you have to flip 3 switches,turn a few dials,press a series of buttons,and enter a user name and pass in order to make it dry hair though?

Are your younger friends or family members wanting and/or enjoying using it more than you?

Does it look pretty,shiny,and new yet runs like it's broken?

Is there a warning sticker on the side that says "Do Not Stare Directly At The Dryer.In some studies retina damage has been detected"?

What?Can't take a joke?

wow looks like they didnt learn from the demo to tone the bloom down

Hopefully it's adjustable without having to sacrifice in other areas where we do not want to give up anything.

I was actually gonna post these screenshots and ask, why does'nt the game look like these screenshots!?!? I mean, epic would never wanna mislead anyone with bogus, glorified screenshots. Only scumbag companies do these tactics for increased sales.

You do know where u are right?

Maybe epic should of cut a deal with crytek and used their engine... because crysis actually looks like all of the vids/pics that were released over the last year.

lol on the first half and 100& accurate on the second part.Cry has higher system requirements(and they admit it)and even if the game isn't your game you cannot deny the sheer visual beauty of the environments.

This whole brown HDR Grungification thing is realistic I guess and how war torn areas look,however it does get old and kills the beauty of what the engine can do imo.(based on screenies and other games)Bioshock showcased the engine great.Lots of color,contrast,effects, and beautiful lighting.Let's just hope they have some maps that have vibrant colors as well as scarred ruins.

Ooh, this game is looking to be so much fun, I hope they have a patch to fix some of the major issues soon...

Might wanna pull up a chair there.You're going to be waiting awhile.


Thank you for pics guys.

Could someone post some screenshots with like 16x Anisotropic Filtering on? (Retail Game)
The Textures still look blurred like in the BETA Demo :<

no, they are really sharp on max details in the retail version, it's a big difference!

sorry, only 8xAF

Hmm you think Deck looks sweet?

It looks rather void of color or life and the lighting looks like someone forgot to pay the power bill.

I agree. How can you go from that vibrantly brilliant concept art to what has been built for the game. It looks nothing alike. literally night and day

Can you say 'brown' much? I know they probably play great but they really seem to be lacking vibrancy in most of the shots i've seen, and it's not just the realistic tones (which I like, gives a hardcore gritty feel) but the lack of contrast between walls and floors and the way meshes are just seemingly thrown in with no care taken about overlapping or cutting into other meshes, I didn't expect that from Epic maps.

As always that's a pre-retail concern, will judge it myself when I see it on MY system running at max details + AA (8800gtx) because places in the demo looked better than what i'm seeing in these retail shots... when I eventually get the game cos i'm going to wait now for the dust to settle before I throw more cash away.

QFT... looks fugly to my eyes (the german shots)... gameplay is the main thing but doesn't mean every map has to be brown and fuzzy does it?

That concept picture you posted above looks stunning.

****ing hell, I hope thats Deck16 in UT4
Awesome tbh :E

One UGLY thing I noticed from the pics:

Something tells me Epic used a different bunch of mappers this time because that's just shoddy, no matter how trivial most people think it is. You get the impression some work experience kid knocked the maps up in a lunch break while the proper mapping team were working on Gears Of War add on maps or something

*again... reserve judgement mr sharpfish... but why have I not seen one single screen yet that gets me excited about the maps from a design perspective.

Guess its the JPG Quality that makes the Pictures look abit shyt.
Still I saw not even one ingame screenshot, that has the same Quality like the HD ingame Videos on gametrailers.com, showing Warfare mode.

Maybe UT3 will be like UT1 ? It comes with a pack of highres Textures for optional use?

/Edit: have you seen the Characters in the .rar pack of Screenshots? Its like all of them have a different size dont forget the Eye-height bug

Did you play with a gamepad? Looks abit like console aim

[seaman]

ok I just got it from amazon.de

Having never played any other UT's can someone who already has UT3 tell if some of the duel maps are exact copies of maps from other UTs?

Shangrila and Heatray are included as duel maps, weird.

yes, JPG destroys it a little bit. UT3 runs great ans looks great!!

Last I checked the newest "crytek engine" only has 1 game that is being used... ahem.. Crysis. Do I really need to list the games that have licensed UE3.

Enough said, peachy.
