Unreal & Unreal Tournament now available on Internet Archive

[moonbits]

After Epic Games cancelled UT4 and removed the franchise from every store front, now they have given the okay to put Unreal and Unreal Tournament on the Internet Archive.

NICE!

But I feel like the world is actively trolling me right now... "Look at all these awesome games now freely available to get. I bet you wish you had a computer to play them, right? Right?" XD!

 

[DunkeyKong]

It became free...at what cost

If you're looking to play online I recommend installing GOTY edition, you would probably have better luck with the steam version of it. Which can be found on certain piracy sites, although it works with the og version of GOTY to my knowledge.

You will also have to download a couple patches to actually get online, although you might have to download additional things if you are going to use the above Internet Archive downloads.

Bonus Pack 4 - Absolutely needed if using steam version
469d patch update - Working Community Master Servers
Manually add new servers - for older versions of UT99, It'd be a good idea to do this just in case



For more in-depth explanation there's a thread here from the UT community forum.

Love this

Epic has consistently been outperforming other large storefront/publishers on the PC market, namely Steam and I wish people would see that more often, I am by no way being an apologist of anything bad they have done, which they have, but they certainly get a lot more scorn from brand loyalists than they deserve.
This is great in my opinion, it would be even better if they outright said it's just freeware and let people reverse engineer the games or whatever. I do prefer UT to Quake 3, personally, but that's just because I'm a scrub.

Downloading, gonna host a copy too. Thanks!

 

[Mopeybloke]

These downloads include the stable branch of the Old Unreal patch. If you're having problems running it on Windows 11 like I did, update to the newer, unstable version.

Way too rad!
Here's hoping 2004 gets the same treatment soon!

 

[Skeetos]

I'm lucky and got the whole series for like 8 bucks like a month before they took them down. It was too bad too because I wanted to get them for my friend. My friend hates setting up stuff like this but I gotta try to get him to do it because I know he'd mess with these heavy. UT99 has got to be one of the all time greats. Still go back to it often because of how addicting it is and how in your face the atmosphere and world is.

I'm more of a Quake fan but ugh, I dislike what Epic did.

Thanks a lot.

 

[Blamhammer]

I spent sooooo much time with the UT demo back in the day scrambling for another Enforcer pistol just to go akimbo on the bots. Now I can play the full game!

 

[moonbits]

I can't wait to watch this.

 

[RageBurner]

Oh man, UT. I'm not a huge FPS guy, but UT2004 had so much content and some excellent mods so it's had to not love it. The fact Epic abandoned it outright for the sake of Fortnite made me forever sour, although I can understand it from a profit standpoint.

 

[McWiggles]

I miss UT and UT2004 so very much. To me it was the apex of the online FPS era. No Microtransaction BS, no DLC: Just amazing multiplayer with hundreds of usermade maps, music and characters!

Where else could I see Judge Dredd instagib Mr. Burns?

If I were blind, I could still navigate Facing Worlds to this day.

Unreal/UT has been my main domain for quite a while.

I had so much work in progress. Right now I don't even have a working windows machine/laptop.

Here's my moddb page

there is an ongoing project bringing back the cancelled Unreal PSX as a fully fledged mod for Unreal with extras

Unfortunately I had to take a backseat at the project due to world-shattering events around me, but JackHonda is continuing it at the moment and if things go alright there will be the full Episode 2 release in the coming month!
