Unreal Tournament 2004 is getting revived by OldUnreal with approval from Epic Games
Just like Epic Games did for the original Unreal Tournament, they're giving full approval to OldUnreal to revive Unreal Tournament 2004 and keep it updated.
UT2K4 is the greatest FPS of all time.
That's saying a lot... I do agree it is fantastic though.
YEEEES!
UT2K4 is my absolute favourite arcade shooter!
I have the original six CD release, the Steam release and the GOG release.
It is such an awesome game!
IIRC UT2K4 shipped with a Linux port on the install media.
In college around the time this came out, there were beefy Linux machines in one of the libraries. You could ssh into them for homework, but you could also physically access them. Xenon, with Nvidia Quadro gfx is my recollection.
So, I would rsync the game to /tmp (no root access of course, and home quota was too small), walk over and enjoy it on high end hardware. Fun stuff!
Oh yes, the original CD release had a Linux installer, I remember installing it on a Dell E5400 running Ubuntu before heading to a LAN party.
Worked great!
