What if there was no Unreal, but something strangely reminiscent was created years later, in the cradle of next-gen gaming technology? A game that is way more outlandish and survival-oriented than the adventures of gun-toting Prisoner 849 versus Na Pali's Skaarj overlords? Jack Monahan, concept artist and level designer, re-imagined Unreal in his own style. The result is only scarcely related to the original game, but may prove to be an interesting, perhaps inspirational read to Unreal enthusiasts and mappers alike!

I was considering mentioning this, although I'm not sure it's really the direction I'd want a real Unreal sequel to go (although the author themselves admits it's a bit of a tangent, and the news post here appears to be going at it from that angle too), but I've covered that in the comment section of the first part of the article itself.

I'm confused... Is he MAKING this, or just putting forward ideas?

Ideas.

Ah, kk, damn... I wanna play (although i'd play it like Halo or something-not as unreal. It's not unreal...)
