Do you remember the days back before all of the Tournament action? If you do, you'll remember that the original Unreal was the game we used to show off the power of our PC rigs. It also raised the bar for 3D games, and was a visual benchmark for the rest of the FPS world at the time. Those are fond memories for many a gamer. It's too bad that there's no plans to revisit those good times with another Unreal.
According to CVG, Epic's Mark Rein doesn't have a follow-up the 2003 Unreal II on his to-do list right now. In an interview with bit-tech, Rein says that "there’s definitely no plans right now for an Unreal 3 game. Will we have new IPs? Sure, but not right now.”
If Epic does get around to it, I hope they shoot for the PS3 or Xbox 360 again like they did with Gears of War and Unreal Tournament III -- my PC really sucks right now.

Unreal II got returned in 30 minutes. Suck fest.
Unreal III would be like Gears or UT3, and I highly doubt they can bring back the EPICness of the original Unreal.
But there is supposed to be a full single player campaign in ut3 (which is not the 3rd unreal tournament, so annoying, theres ut, ut2k3, and ut2k4, which makes ut3 the 4th) to tie us off from death threats for not making a single player game.
It is Unreal Tournament 3.
Unreal Tournament 2 had two editions, 2003 and 2004.
I doubt UT3 will have a real singleplayer mode.
It's more likely that they just added a bit of story to a player vs bots mode.
i wish that the level designers spent more time, well, designing more levels, instead of doing mundane things like placing every single tree in the level etc... using the old universal translator to get the storyline is a heck of a better way than that black dude in unreal 2...
Anyway this news makes me sad. /(Q_Q)\
