Unreal Tournament 2004 on DVD – Demo Soonish
February 11th, 2004 by CrusaderAtari has announced that Epic Games’ upcoming FPS combat title Unreal Tournament will have a special DVD-ROM edition released concurrent with the CD-ROM edition:
Atari appears ready to test the DVD waters again, as it’s preparing a special 2-DVD-ROM edition of Unreal Tournament 2004, slated to be released at the same time as the CD-ROM version. Although we weren’t given any definitive prices, it’s expected that the DVD-ROM version will retail for $59.95, compared to $39.95 for the CD-ROM edition.Why do a DVD version of UT 2004, you might ask? The rationale becomes obvious once you find out that the CD version of the game is shipping on 6 discs. (The minimum installation reportedly takes up a whopping 5.5 GB of hard-drive space.) All 6 CD’s fit nicely on disc 1 of the DVD set, which (if nothing else) should make the installation easier and reduce the risk of misplacing or scratching various CD’s.
This frees up disc 2 of the DVD set for a variety of special features not included with the CD set, including a number of behind-the-scenes interviews at Epic showing the making of UT 2004.
[...]
If the extra DVD features don’t seem worthy of the extra bucks, Atari is also bundling a Logitech headset with this special edition of UT 2004. The game has a number of features that make use of the headset, from voice-over-IP communication with other players, to voice recognition software that allows players to shout orders at computer-controlled bots in the single-player action.
Gamespy also has a new preview of UT2K4 up.
Moreover, the Windows demo was released earlier today; Epic’s Daniel “Hot Dog” Vogel gave a SITREP on the Linux demo at Shacknews:
Ryan is currently tracking down a last minute Linux client bug with vehicles. I don’t think he’s slept since Monday…
Thanks in advance to icculus for all his hard work! We’ll update as soon as the Linux client/server package is available.

Dunno why I subscribed – not like I can afford the stupid game, and it’s not like I played any of the last 3 Unreal Games I bought, either. Blah.

5 cd’s? 5.5 GB space? Repeet it to You self once again – sounds to crazy for me… I will wait some more years for Q4 or DOOM…

He’s currently sleeping, since he’s been up since monday.
Suggest you all hit the sack, it won’t be out until tomorrow, when he’s awake enough to fix the last bug.

Apparently the bug has been fixed, and after a few last minute QA checks, it’ll be heading out to mirrors.
the bug in the game that was holding it up was due to differences in win32 and linux abs(), apparently. The symptoms showed up when you tried to accelerate a vehicle from a standstill, ie the vehicle needed a push start before you could accelerate :)
