Which reminds me, what did we get for the 25th anniversary of Unreal, another super important game from 1998 whose engine nowadays even powers movie production?
Right, Epic pulled it from all stores...
I'm also still incredibly salty about this. The Quake 1 and 2 remasters also are a huge contrast to how the Unreal franchise has been handled.
I recently got my gog copy of UT2004 running on my Steam Deck. It was a huge pain in the ass that I could have circumvented by buying a Steam copy... but of course that's no longer an option. I guess Epic doesn't want easy money from their old games.
I've still got the original UT2004 DVD ROM physical release. How big of a pain would this be to get running on my Deck?
Significant — you’d need to either get the old Linux build working (not an easy task today) or you can install it on Windows, copy the files over, and run it via Proton (but you’d need to manually add the registry key with your CD key to the Proton prefix’s registry).
cant you just run the installer with wine which is like 2000% easier?
