The guys from Twister Software are currently working on remaking the classic Ultima Underworld 1 & 2. Some screenshots can be seen here comparing the UW engine and the engine being used now.
Ultima Underworld is a game that was made in 1992 by Looking Glass Studios the same company that made System Shock 2, Ultima Underworld is a great game with fab music, the only thing that lets it down is the graphics quality and a few bugs. In many ways it was way ahead of its time giving the player non-orthogonal walls, sloped floors, bridges, water, 3D doors, etc.
We are going to remake Ultima Underworld 1 & 2.
Several attempt's to remake Ultima Underworld have been made in the past few years but all were abandoned. The only one that got anywhere was Ultima Underworld Viewer by Peroxide but this required the game to be installed as it simple read the map files and rendered them in 3D.
We have found a suitable 3D engine and as you are reading this the game is being worked on. Starting with the Level design, then the NPCs and then all the rest of the stuff like music and interaction. The only difference we will make besides the improved graphics, better quality sound FX and music is that you can connect over the Internet with your friends and play as a team of 8 Avatars. Preventing you from feeling alone in the massive world. So what are you waiting for go and check out the screenshots
Wow, that's the newsbit I always wanted to post :) | | Source: StygianAbyss |
