Developers Frail Loop Entertainment have won the rights to produce the next single player-led retail title in the Unreal franchise, it was announced today. Unreal: Death on Na Pali will see the series return to the Nali planet of Na Pali for the first time since the original Unreal's release in 1998.
'Unreal: Death on Na Pali, or DoNP, will be the spiritual successor to Unreal that fans of the original single player game have long been asking for,' said Frail Loop spokesperson Fuller Carp. 'Many fans of the original game have told us that they found the Nali to be a boring and ineffectual race, and felt that the Skaarj should have been allowed to retain control of the planet. We have taken this view into consideration in planning our new project, which casts the player as the commander of a Skaarj fleet that has set out to recapture the Nali planet after its liberation by Prisoner 849 at the end of Unreal.
'We are breaking new ground for the Unreal series with this project, which will incorporate elements of Real Time Strategy gameplay as well as more traditional First Person Shooter action. Some missions will draw on the most successful aspects of Unreal II: The Awakening's single player campaign, placing the player on a ground mission as he leads a squad of Skaarj infantry in an attack on a Nali town, while other missions will be played from a birds-eye perspective, as the player commands a fleet of Skaarj tanks and skimmers attacking more heavily fortified Nali fortresses and crashed Earth starships.
'We believe that DoNP is Unreal for the 21st Century. The research we have undertaken via reliable Internet forums suggests that the player-as-lone-hero model of the original Unreal is outmoded and outdated, and that the gamers of today will be more interested in a no holds barred, first-hand experience of the invasion and subjugation of an innocent people. Players can expect to enjoy hardcore civilian slaughterfests in the streets of Nali towns and the pursuit of terrorist elements deep into the never-before-seen, sleazy urban underbelly of Nali society. With a thumping score to boot from Quake II soundtrack artists Sonic Mayhem, it's going to be fantastic!'

Having a lot of trouble with quotation marks glitching in my news post today (hence the edits)! That's what I get for coping and pasting a press release...

Who is the spoilsport here, I am not...
Honestly the joke with the Unreal Movie was a little bit more creative.
Scrag, next year, I will contact you early enough to develop with you together something really interesting.

Hahaha, nice joke. I fell for it for a good while until "sleazy urban underbelly of Nali society" since it's only like 8AM here, I overslept and was 15 minutes late to work, and I'm still dead tired from all the UT3 I played last night :p
But you know, as horrible as the theme sounds, a game like that could have really, REALLY fun gameplay :p
