Atari and Epic Games to Unleash Unreal Tournament 2004 Demo Worldwide Today

Gangrel · 02-11-2004, 01:18 PM

Later today, Atari and Epic Games will release the highly anticipated official demo for Unreal Tournament 2004 to gamers worldwide. Fans will be able to download the Unreal Tournament 2004 official demo directly from www.unrealtournament.com as well as from several worldwide mirror servers that can be found at www.unrealtournament.com.

The full game will be available at retail outlets in March; pre-orders are now available at all major video game sales outlets.

The Unreal Tournament 2004 official demo includes five playable game modes, and offers fans their first taste of Unreal Tournament 2004’s two new game modes: the introduction of the hyper-charged Onslaught mode and the return of the fan-favorite Assault mode, which last appeared in the original Unreal Tournament. The demo also features established gametypes like Deathmatch, Capture the Flag and Bombing Run.

-- Onslaught Mode: Onslaught is a epic-in-scope team-based challenge that pits two teams in bitter warfare across massive terrain maps in a frag-filled battle to destroy, capture and hold key power nodes. Vehicles play a major role as war-hardened flying and driving machines transport combatants to the “front” and serve as mobile platforms to launch devastating attacks on the enemy.

-- Assault Mode: In the completely redesigned Assault mode, gamers are challenged to attack or defend bases in a bigger and badder version of the Unreal Tournament classic; many Assault maps require the use of vehicles as a critical gameplay element.

*Sigh* so much for preparing for todays game dev club meeting. Good thing I have some stuff already prepared, because I just know all work will cease for about a week.

Thank you epic, for providing me with pleasurable excuses.

Headup wasn't just PR, iirc he was "Unreal Brand Manager", though he served as PR as well.

Xen is no longer with Atari, this happened way back before Unreal University last year. I've been managing the project on the Atari side ever since. Thanks for the warm welcome.

Teh demo will pwn. That is all.
