Full Story:
LOS ANGELES – April 9, 2004 – In response to the overwhelming success of Unreal® Tournament 2004 - Special Edition which featured the game on DVD, Atari and Epic Games will launch a special two-disc “DVD Edition” of Unreal Tournament 2004 on April 13. The two-DVD set will include the entire game on disc one, while disc two will include several hours of Video Training Modules (VTMs) from 3DBuzz.com that teach fans and amateur mod makers how to use the Unreal Editor to create custom game content.
Unreal Tournament 2004 is the highly anticipated follow-up to last year’s Unreal Tournament 2003 and the third installment in the mega-selling Unreal Tournament franchise. The game has received universal critical acclaim and was hailed by GameSpot, a leading video game news and reviews site, as “...the new king of online shooters.” Unreal Tournament 2004 is already the highest-rated PC game of 2004 and, according to GameRankings.com, a Web site which tracks reviews of all games, Unreal Tournament 2004 is the third-highest scoring PC game of all time. The Special Edition DVD SKU sold out at major retailers across the United States in the first three days of availability.
“The success of Unreal Tournament 2004 - Special Edition was beyond even our wildest expectations, with gamers grabbing up the DVD version in droves for easier installation and the hours upon hours of training videos by 3DBuzz.com,” said Peter Wyse, Executive Producer at Atari. “Fans have been clamoring for the game on DVD and by offering another version, we’re able to deliver all of the benefits of DVD to fans who have been waiting to get it.”
Unreal Tournament 2004 was developed by Epic Games in conjunction with Digital Extremes. The game builds on the success of past installments, taking the franchise to the next level with the introduction of the hyper-charged Onslaught mode, the return of the fan-favorite Assault mode, and the introduction of land-, air- and space-based vehicles.
In Unreal Tournament 2004, players suit up as the ultimate techno-gladiator of the future, taking their fates into their own hands as they battle up to 32 other players in action-packed, frag-filled arenas. Unreal Tournament 2004 contains new maps for all established game modes, including Capture the Flag, Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch, Bombing Run and Double Domination. In addition, Unreal Tournament 2004 contains all of the maps, mutators and game types -- such as Mutant, Last Man Standing and Invasion -- from Unreal Tournament 2003 and the free downloadable bonus packs for that game.
The game includes two additional modes of play: “Onslaught,” an epic-in-scope team-based challenge that pits two teams in bitter warfare across massive terrain maps in a frag-filled battle to destroy, capture and hold key power nodes, and “Assault,” where gamers are challenged to complete a variety of mission objectives to attack or defend bases in a bigger and badder version of the Unreal Tournament classic.
Unreal Tournament 2004 CD edition is currently available worldwide. Unreal Tournament 2004 two-disc DVD Edition will be available April 13. The new DVD Edition will not include the limited edition tin box and Logitech Internet Chat Headset that were included in the Special Edition.
