Raptor over at planetunreal has posted an editorial about the future of Unreal Tournament.
His points are all valid in that the main point being how Epic has failed to deliver on the game that they were hyping when they started development. Gone was the Conquest mode and many of the cool features the game was supposed to have and the in depth single player mode. He does not really give much of a glance of the future of UT as Epic is now being very quiet about the future ... possibly they have learned from their past mistake.
My personal opinion is that this all seems like 2K3 and 2K4 situation where 2K3 was rushed out the door to meet a publisher's deadline and 2K4 was much closer to the final version that Epic originally intended. Epic will most certainly come out with a sequel to UT3, call it UT3.5, that delivers on most of the promises that were originally made. One of the things that is mentioned in the article is that Epic is under contract with Midway to produce another Unreal Tournament game, so as long as Midway is still interested after the lackluster reception of the current game another one will be produced.
