I haven't tried the mod yet. However I would like to say that I wish the mod didn't add stuff from other games (like Enforcer from Duke3D or AK47 from CS) and just sticked with Unreal 1's assets (so that consistent visuals are retained).

 

Though I didn't mind the shotgun and SSG that were shown in some of the pics as they fitted well with Unreal 1's aesthetics.

I thought if somebody wants to play Unreal they can play unreal, if it's in different engine it's gonna be different. AK will be reskinned or it will be be different model or even the gun, Enforcer from duke is actually reskinned and  wearing Kevlar suit. This mod is early stage and I want to see what works and what fits the best. Thanks for your feedback!

I think the first release should be plain Unreal, and later it could be enhanced

I understand. However, I feel like that any new things that are added should retain the cohesiveness. The improvements you made to some of the particles effects and the addition of the shotgun/SSG seem perfectly fine. They are not part of original Unreal but they work well because they conform to Unreal's 1 feel and aesthetics.

 

However, the AK47 and the Duke3D Enforcer seem visually out of place to me and I doubt some skin change would be enough. You mentioned that the Enforcer is reskinned and wearing Kevlar suit but despite this change, it still feels out of place to me.

That is fair point actually

Did a very short view into it as I have my own project to progress on. So there seems to be hub like start area which is cool but obviously not finished and felt a bit empty. The shop and leveling system seems interesting! Like them. 

 

Skaarjw attack froze me like 1 secs making fighting quite impossible. Not sure what caused it, I sure do have an old laptop with shitty integrated graphics (intel hd4000). I also didn't found enough ammo to fight em. Their HP was very high compared to the weapon(s) I found. I think fighting them with more powerful weapons could be fun as the AI seems good. Feels very much Unreal which is good. Have to check out how AI is done. When I died I returned to the hub with all inventory items I had found. Is that intentional? Also all items had respawned in hub area (breakable crates, bandages).

 

Environments look good as in Unreal you would expect and ambient noises create atmosphere.

 

Some pics:

Spoiler

 

Too reflective floor, I thought I could drop there.

Invisible wall puzzled me.

Can go through that beam.

Some areas are pitch black or I have wrong settings.

 

I'll have a second look at it some day.

Very good look into my mod ! 

Well I have no idea what is causing the freezes, cause I tested it on 4 PCs, two low end laptops and two high ends desktops. 
Monster Health is based on random rank which they spawn (1 to 4 ). In heroic difficulty mode monsters always spawn at rank 4. 
Ammo, well I agree there is a bit of a shortage, but as soon as you level up Strength stat a little bit damage increases a lot and any monster is less of a problem.

Some areas lack ambient noises, some small miscellaneous objects. 

The item saving is intentional, as all items, credits, weapons are saved into configuration file when you quit the game so any time you can just resume without loading.

Leveling system and stat system now is just very basic and this is just beginning and I am yet to find where exactly I can expand it so it fits Unreal the best and would be fun . Thanks for the review, obviously when I get bug reports I can fix them faster

I'll check this out later tonight. I'm a huge Unreal fan so I'm curious about how this plays (it looks great). It could be fun to make some maps for this too, a real change of pace.

Nice. There are all objects, models, textures, (up to the map we've made), so you can go and make maps. Let me know how it plays 

[xvertigox]

I'm very impressed with how accurate the maps are. Before playing this I played through the first half of Unreal and the mod very closes matches the original game. I wrote some notes (sorry about being lazy and not writing them out properly).
 

Spoiler

 

1. Is the first skaarj you see in the vent supposed to run away? I had to kill him and the console shows an error: P_StartScript: Unknown Script "skaarjvent".

 

2. Corpses have health bars

 

3. Movement doesnt feel like Unreal. Maybe have a look at zMovement?

 

4. After killing my second skaarj I went straight to level 3?

 

5. I started with a dispersion pistol but then also found one as a pickup in the usual spot in the first map?

 

6. Brutes get stunlocked by the dispersion pistol and never fire. I would recommend changing the painchance.

 

7. 'In case of emergency break glass' section with the health in the first map doesn't have any glass.

 

8. 'In case of emergency break glass' section for the exit level switch in first map doesn't have a glass midtexture, it has a solid metal midtexture. If I didn't know there was a button there behind it I might have never finished the first map.

 

9. Automag in first house is floating above the table (Second Map).

 

10. Brutes bodies are blocking. Have to gib them sometimes as they block the corridor.

 

11. HOM at mine exit in second map.

 

12. Good work on the skaarj rolling, it looks good.

 

13. The physical switches look fantastic.

 

14. Where's the Universal Translator?

You mean the mod itself ?

Well, everything takes time, we are only two people, I do all the programming and models and whatnots and the other is doing maps. There is a lot of improvements to be had, a lot of things a lot of monsters maps, but we are working on it :) I would say its pretty far from being finished

Keep it running really, I love what you guys are doing and I can't wait to play the full version :)

If I want to play vanilla unreal I play unreal , there is no way I could replicate 1:1 everthing. This "recreation" is so I can relatively easily add some stuffs

Seems like a reimagining of Unreal then.

If you want to run this on older hardware or you get low fps, try LZDooM, most of the stuff might work.

Please report obvious bugs, it helps development process a lot !
