Porting ET to Unreal Engine 4

by beggin • 31 May 2016, 16:51 • Journals
I came across this video, showing the Quake 3 movement ported to Unreal Engine 4.

This got me thinking about the possibilities of porting ET (now fully open sourced) to Unreal Engine 4.

Maps, weapons, maps etc can all be redesigned and remodelled to be on par with current gen games, whilst retaining the exact (100%) core movement, weapon damage and physics of ET.

Thoughts? This may be something I will seriously look into starting as a side project / hobby. Will be an open source project.

Well Splash Damage told us that they can't 'make' or even modify any part of Enemy Territory as the whole brand is under Activisions' rights.

I love the fact that they own the rights and aint gonna do anything about it. Waiting for a big selling momentum out of it? Will see it in 25 years

_If this is even correct fact what bobi said_

Why would they sell it? They will just make more dead shit fuck games under the Wolfenstein franchise.

Dunno, maybe to sell it for making a big profit out of it with once for some other title? And maybe some other company would be interested on buying them to make more competition on the multiplay fps side, dunno

I guess the point would be to replicate ET's gameplay to some degree without using any existing assets etc. They don't have copyright to bunnyhopping or stopwatch with classes. Maps are probably the only problem.

Put it to Github and post it here if you ever start it and make any significant progress. I for one could be willing to code something if it seems promising and I have time and motivation.
