I DONT THINK I WAS AS WOWED BY THE LEAP IN GRAPHICS IN THE HALF LIFE 2 FAR CRY 1/2 DOOM3 HALO 1/2 GENERATION AS I WAS BY UNREAL 1 AND UT99
QUAKE WAS 3D AND IT WAS BROWN
HALF LIFE WAS 3D AND IT WAS BROWN AND GRAY AND QUAKE AND BOXY
AND IN UNREAL YOU CRAWL OUT OF THE RUSTED OUT SHITBOX VORTEX RIKERS PRISON SHIP INTO THE GREAT OUTDOORS AND BOOOM THE MUSIC STARTS
THAT FUCKIN CYAN GREEN GATORADE SLIME WATER OF UNREAL ENGINE 1 IS JUST ACID-ETCHED ONTO MY RETINAS
THE PEOPLE IN CHARGE OF EPIC AT THE TIME KNEW THEY HAD AN EXCELLENT ENGINE AND THEY MADE THE BEST OF IT WITH THE LEVELS AND ASSETS
LIGHTING ESPECIALLY
REMEMBER HOW QUAKE 2 WAS AN UNREAL 1 COMPETITOR AND ITS BIG THING WAS PARTICLE EFFECTS AND COLORED LIGHTING?
FUCK ME, JUST THINKING OF QUAKE 2 COMPARED TO UNREAL 1 WHAT A CONTRAST
