Unreal Tournament 4 sub page added
A reminder, under the Unreal Tournament main menu, you will find lot’s of stuff for all Unreal Tournament retail games.
Since the upcoming of Unreal Tournament 4, a UT4 page as been added with already very promising custom stuff 😀
I follow lot’s of thread in the UT4 forums and even if the release of UT4 is still very far away, the enthusiasm for the new game is simply amazing ! I’m more than happy to see veteran mappers / modders / sound designer and much more making a comeback to bring something new for UT4 🙂 Many projects (maps, music, sounds, etc) have already started and some are already finished !
So, to begin with, there are 2 sub pages wich are UT4 custom maps and UT4 custom music. Many pages will be added with the time so I strongly suggest you take a look & see what as been already started, you won’t be disappointed 😉
Here is a minimalistic UT4 wallpaper by y2k 🙂
Polycount UT Master Challenge: Concept Art, Deck
Mind blowing entries as been posted in the Polycount UT Master Challenge: Concept Art thread 😀 It is very impressive and inspiring to see all those ideas !
One map that seem to be a reference is DM-Deck. This map as been very popular in all UT’s and it seem it will continue to be “the” map for UT4. Remakes, straight ports or custom maps are already in dev if your following the UT4 maps WIP forums 😉
I always like Deck but also many others. Still this post is to show the Deck entries that are for me, spectacular ! I hope to be able to play Deck maps that look that good in UT4 🙂 Above each entries, you’ll find the link for all WIP’s threads.
