>>6073143This actually makes me a bit sad and nostalgic for Unreal Tournament 2004 it is shocking how there are barely any screenshots or fan community pictures of it indexed by unuseable googl search anymore (I think some of the old beyondunreal lliandriarchives wiki website went offline now?) so all you get is this lamentful picture of Juggernaut Gorge staring at the toilet car easter egg hidden vehicle.
ut2k4 was actually surprisingly diverse back in the day (arguably the main character since ut99 was a black man,
https://unreal.fandom.com/wiki/Malcolm is he named after Malcolm X ? lol ) there were also women of all ethnicities and body shapes fat / lithe etc except it wasn't even a big deal, one of the common AI bot kill taunts in deathmatch was "YOU WHORE..." lol it was funny whenever that played on autotaunt. Later when CliffyB moved on to Gears Of War I remember more and more videogame controversy like when they had female characters in GOW multiplayer and people were worried about being allowed to chainsaw girls with the lancer rifle serrated bayonet etc none of this was an issue fragging men women aliens robots in ut2k4 deathmatch on Deck16, everyone gibbed each other happily and watched flaming roasted rocket blasted limbs and body parts bouncing along to the new game physics engine against the futuristic textured meshes all in perfect communal harmony
I was actually playing ut2k4 casually the other day as I got it configured and running via winlator emulation on my phone, so you get this music, I always think of it as an anthem to when the internet and online multiplayer gaming was a different and better place
