"Unreal II Gone Gold!
1/14/03 9:49 PST - General Unreal II News
Infogrames has sent out the big news: Unreal II has gone gold! It's finished! [etc]"

Edit: Now the bad part...since then, Planet Unreal has updated their Unreal II page to say that Mac, Linux, and console ports are not currently planned.

All is not necessarily lost, and there is no explanation given, but it doesn't exactly look rosy right now. Kind of overshadows item 3, and makes one wonder about Deus Ex 2, etc.

There are some common topics you should avoid, or else your thread could be deleted or locked, and you will think we're mean, evil, forum Nazi's. But you've been warned. Proceed and you're likely to be eaten by a grue.

===

* Release Date : "When it's done". Simple as that. Also, ignore ALL release dates unless you hear them from us. This includes EB, Amazon or anywhere else. We will tell you when it's getting really close, and we will tell you when it's done. We promise.

* "What's taking so long?": Lots of things. We had too few programmers early on. Some tech took too long to do. We switched engines. We started over a time or two. And a bunch of other stuff. Point is, we know it's late, and you know it's late. Let's stop talking about it, ok?

* System Specs : They are going to be steep. You will need a video card with pixel shaders. A GeForce 3 will be about the minimum card, and ideally you will want something like the latest ATI or nVidia card. Sure, the game will probably run on a GeForce 1/2, but you're not going to want to.

As for CPU? The more the better. A 1Ghz is a pretty slow machine these days, and you're probably going to want a 2 Ghz or better. DO NOT buy hardware for the game now. Wait until it's done and see where things are then.
