Nightdive is one of the best in the biz!
They are keeping classic shooters alive and well on the Switch and I couldn't be more grateful.

Honestly, that UT reboot is kinda close and people are playing it. I just wish Epic would've put some finishing touches on it.
Maybe one day...
I left home but i still go to my parents for dinner on occasion.
Project has been dead, last worthy commit 2017 https://github.com/EpicGames/UnrealTournament/commits/clean-master
Unreal 1, UT2004, and Jazz Jackrabbit 1 and 2 are games that absolutely need to be made accessible to modern audiences. I'd be down for any of them, and I'm really glad Cliff is trying to make Unreal happen.
UT2004 still looks pretty good when you play it on a modern PC. I was playing it in 21:9 widescreen at an absurdly high framerate maxed out. I don't think it requires any special patches outside of some INI tweaks for increased FOV and resolution.
FUCK YES. It also had a nice build up to the moment too. Shame I cant play it any more as my laptop doesnt have a disc drive.
Not really. I went and got it set up today, and all it takes is the unofficial patch.

They tried, went nowhere, Aspyr handles all the classic Star Wars stuff these days.
My nightdive wishlist:
- clive barker's undying
- turok evolution
- ground control
- sacrifice
- alice

The line on the cover still works today, albeit it for the opposite reason. So it aged pretty well.
Quake would likely not have looked like that at the time though. Most people would probably have played it at like 1/2 the resolution, you likely wouldn't have seen something so sharp before.It's just stupid I think. There's no way you could play Quake and then be incredulous that that's a real screenshot from a similar game. This is from Quake. It's not as many polys for sure, but it's just not that far off.
Man, when UT 2014 came out with this first map, I thought "wow, UT is back!"
If they actually finished it with all maps having this level of detail... I'd probably still be playing it.
I will forever hate Epic for how they treated UT4. It never stood a chance
I doubt Epic would let them remake it if they didn't make them leverage UE5's features.
the market in general hasn't been kind to arena shooters. I doubt UT would have faired better
While true, Epic's handling of the situation flat-out sucked. It "greenlit" a new UT only to put all the onus on the community. As you say, arena shooters have devolved to a niche genre, but "Here's a skeleton of a new UT game; if you truly want it, you will build it" was an idea doomed to fail, as it showed a distinct lack of internal interest.
But, hey, at least Quake Champions exists. It's actually a great arena shooter (with the "champions" aspect adding an interesting layer of strategy, and I say this as someone who lived and breathed Quake 3 back in the day), and despite being on life support in terms of new content, Bethesda still sponsors the Quake Pro League and is even, for the first time ever (AFAIK), covering flight costs for finalists.
And the other problem is that Epic gave next to no direction as to what they wanted. The community made a decent amount of content, but Epic used absolutely none of it. They didn't show any concept art for models they weren't working on already, and they didn't have any sort of design document to guide people.
Can I get Unreal Tournament 2003/2004 remastered instead pls? I'll even take an HD release for all consoles.
Also, have Digital Extremes involved. They are the other half of what made Unreal great and I'd trust current DE more than Epic to "get it".
He sometimes say on twitter that he misses game development but that it has become too stressful and toxic for him. People are still sending him shit about Lawbreakers every single day.
He's having success producing Broadway musicals now, of all things, and he's also producing an animated movie that looks promising. He also just released a memoir so yeah he keeps busy :p
