Announcement: Epic Games headed to GameTap.

I’m so happy! *wipes tears*

Rock on! I own Unreal 2k3, but never got it working well on my old lappy. Mey new lappy is miles better than that, so it should handel 2k4 really well. I was just about to run out and get 2k6’s xbox version too.

Will Gametap be releasing these games in Canada or just the USA?

Cool. It’s too bad only the buy and download version will be DRM-free, though. UT is really a game series that is known for its mods, which I guess won’t be available to the subscription users. I’m not sure anyone still (or even ever) played vanilla UT. Still, I don’t suppose it’s technically possible to add a DRM-free title to the subscription service, even with the new infrastructure.

Still, it’s nice to see the influence GoG is having on other digital stores, even if you are still removing DRM only from titles that GoG also offers — are you still offering the Fallout series DRM-free also?

*sniff sniff* I smell a GT LAN party coming on!
I’ll host if I’m at school when they get here

Awesome! I was actually considering buying Unreal from Steam, but it looks like I don’t need to now. (If GT4 ever starts working right for me, anyway.) Let’s hope this is just the beginning of a long, healthy, and entirely Epic relationship- that would be any relationship that involves Tyrian, the best shootemup ever.

I… LOVE… YOU… sniff… sniff

So… beautiful…

Should’ve sent… a poet…

actually ut3 stores mods in the “my documents” folder. that means you will still be able to install mods.

@Bob, yes the older games are still DRM-free, this can be chalked up to the publishers being more lax with older titles, more so than gog’s influence.

Oh my god. Something offensive just happened in my pants.

Man this announcement totally unreal. (pun intended)

Cool. I’ve heard many good things about Unreal, now I finally get to try them.

Very cool.

helllooo….I think my bloodlust cells just went up a notch.

this won’t be able to play in 64-bit right this is a shame

Hello, developer for the Unreal 227 patch from Oldunreal here.

Is that regular unreal gold or Anthology? if it’s anthology, it will automatically be incompatible with _all_ pre existing online servers and anthology servers are incompatible with all other versions. There is a fix here :

OMP pack version includes new renderers so the game can actually run on newer computers.

*sniffle* I was hoping there would be some Epic Classic games on the list. I still refuse to pay $25 to get the classic Solar Winds games.

Solar Winds is distributed by a different company, Epic Classics.

i was happy until i wanted to talk about this in the forum…and well it won’t let me=\
why won’t it let me?

@Rar, first try clearing your cookies and cache.

Excellent news! Please continue adding new publishers.

My friend and I used to play UT while listening to Drowning Pool. Oh, the 90’s how glad I am that you’re over

unreal looks awesome but no it is not the best shooter ever it can not compete with halo 3 not in same realm

John Unreal it’s one of the best shooter ever created, just inform yourself before talking. You’re comparing a 11 year old game with a game released recently and more they’re completely different. Unreal had one of the most advanced engine for the time. Inform before to speak, we don’t need fanboy.

so… will this be able to run online against others when it comes out? or do we need to use a lan with other people. some of the older games that have come here (i’m looking at you sacred gold) didn’t like us playing online! so, epic, if you are reading this, please make sure to send gametap enough cd-keys or whatever it is they use for everyone. also, Epic are the people that made Gears, if i remember correctly… does this mean that we might eventually get Gears?
