Faster movement in UT? That's very good news. I gotta update it and try it.

Haven't tried it but that doesn't look anything like UT! Looks a lot like Warsow...

agreed. it's very wsw or even quake like. it's not bad but it ain't good either. after all these years playing ut's i still don't have an opinion on what's better, old 99 movement or the new stuff from 2k4 and 4.

both have been very exciting to play and you have to put some time into them to enjoy them and respect for what they are and how it feels.

"The new stuff from 2k4."

Wake the fuck up.

compared to 99 yes, new.

Do you just continue rolling in the same direction regardless of look or strafe keys? I hopped around for like 10 minutes but it seemed like I had no direction control in roll.

But yeah this video makes it look very un-UT but moving around myself it doesn't seem that different from previous versions of UT4 I played. Second walljump seems less wimpy and roll is as fast as walking. Maybe theres some player accel tweaks too to make it feel more snappy. dunno though just judging based on 10 mins of play.

just needs strafe jumping now.

ITT: Cancer cured?

surfing in CS meets UT dodging?

looks kinda interesting. ut always looked like a sniperfest so i welcome it

Looks quite smooth / fluid. Maybe a bit too fast though? Are there videos up yet of this movement being used in gameplay?

The problem with this movement is that the rocket launcher and other shit still shoots at 0.01mph. Also, that's still a lot of double tapping and/or crouching to go from A to B for my liking. I'd love for it to play as well as it looks though, Epic pls.

No double tapping required. They made it possible to use a single key for dodging now. RSI cured!

Yeah but I don't have 6 fingers :P I don't actually mind the dodge system, but combined with alternate fire and the increase in weapons available I find it difficult to map out an enjoyable layout to use.

Double tap dat A$$

feels like butter swimming

of- why i run this fine on high but not dirty bomb???

Duel with new movement - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jWzPmnypoRc

Maybe the guy just got better at movement in the 3 weeks between these vids but the second one does look faster/less jerky.

It still doesnt look all that great to me and the slide doesnt seem nearly as powerful in an actual duel compared to running around a map alone, but its a step in the right direction (or at least in the direction that I like).

I wonder what actual UT players think of it

You know what they think.
They play UT games...
:)

apparently the new movement system was introduced on 1st may.
so it kinda makes sense that the 2nd duel video looks faster

Thats why I labelled the 2nd video "Duel with new movement". I pasted them both so you can compare

sorry, cant read :p

This is 10x more entertaining to watch than reflex. Just saying.

Not in my opinion but you cant expect to have a single game satisfy everyone

in theory

Looks pretty nice. You can also shockrifle-jump (:D)! That's awesome.

looks nice

I think this looks just awful. Why the fuck would they want us to be jumping all the time? I think the jumping makes the player far too mobile.

I played a lot of ut2004. Jumping off walls had it's place but it didn't give you that much of a speed boost I feel.

BLIAH

Being mobile is fun.
Ain't nobody likes turret sections.

:D lots of quake fans porting maps
dm6, losing grounds, toxicity T_T

.

UT4 is fun to play for a couple of games here and there but I feel like something is missing to make it as enjoyable as quake or similar games.
The movement feels a bit restricted without strafe jumping, and there seems to be a lack of balance between weapons with some being over powered while some others are almost useless.
Also being used to the rockets of quake and warsow, I find the rockets of UT4 not as fun (slow and weird splash damage).

I guess I'll just stick to quake and play UT4 from time to time, just like I do with Xonotic.

stuttery movement giving you only short bursts of speed + oversized maps = zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.......

I agree about the stuttery movement but oversized maps?
I tried mostly FFA and TDM and the maps weren't too big. At least it wasn't as hectic as ql with loadouts :D

maybe its just too slow for my taste idk but ut maps always feel too large for me

Isn't it basically Q4's crouchsliding without direction control ? Looks cool and miles better than ut99 single dodge motion but it's not very original.

nah very different. crouch sliding in Q4 feels much smoother and faster than this UT4 movement.

Zaccubus put up a tutorial on explaining the movement system.
I kinda dislike that the RJ does so much damage :(
