It's been a while since I covered the new Unreal Tournament that's currently in Alpha, so here's a fresh look at it. The way to launch it has changed since we last covered it too.
You can download it here, but you need to be logged in.
To launch it you need to "cd" into this directory:
And then run this:
Currently it seems there is no background image on the launcher, but there's supposed to be. Looks like that's a minor Linux bug.
Gameplay video:
The performance on my 970 on the highest settings even this early on is pretty good. The stuttering here and there in the video is just due to the overhead SSR creates when recording. It's actually quite smooth normally, and looks great.
It looks like it's really starting to come together, and I look forward to seeing it mature into a great free to play shooter. It will be nice to see more complete levels come together, and not full of place-holder art and textures, but that will come in time.

It might be worth trying OBS for recording. When using XComposite window capture, I generally get better performance than SSR.
On the topic of UT, I'm disappointed there's no friends list support on Linux yet. I wanted to play with my friends the other day, so I had to manually navigate to the server they were in. Not very elegant. Of course, the game is still in development, but this seems like a strange thing to be (PC) platform-dependent.

@dorsker : will UT be published on steam one day? If so, there should be some integration with their network service, which may explain why this hasn't really been worked on already.
I would be interested in a word from an AMD card owner on its performance, since I haven't been able to launch an UE4 demo without GPU hang (which shouldn't be happening at all, in any circumstance, by the way). For this very reason, I haven't tried UT yet, expecting the same.

Well, yeah. I'm a tactical FPS player, not a fast paced trick jumping junky, but I still like to check it out now and then.

well, the graphics actually look worse than most last gen shooters atm. So not really a great advertisement for UE4.. still looking forward to newer versions. =)

Yes it's a very fast game, but the graphics look damn good.
I play it often times. when I feel like it.
Don't forget it's an Alpha Realese and on some Maps have Placeholder textures.
For a good grafic you shoud set the graficsettings to the maximun.

Well, it's in Alpha, as mentioned most are place-holders.

I don't know what the deal is, but on multiple PC's, when I hit the page, I log in, then the page just sits there trying to load. So frustrating. I wish there was a direct link. Interestingly enough, I can load the forums, but when I log in, it screws up.

Quoting: ProfessorKaos64What are you talking about? What drivers? Look at the video posted by Liam, then Google Call of Duty PS3 and compare.Quoting: michawell, the graphics actually look worse than most last gen shooters atm.
