The Haunted takes home 'Make Something Unreal' prize photo

Epic Games has finally revealed the winners of its second "Make Something Unreal" mod contest, and the winner is... The Haunted.

Described as a "fast paced third-person horror-action game," The Haunted has players "liberating cursed places from the minions of evil." The title features a handful of multiplayer games, including four-player co-op versus AI-controlled baddies, or demons vs. humans. It also looks like you can kick demons in the face and they will explode. Seriously, look at that screenshot up there!

The MOD team behind The Haunted wins $50,000, in addition to a full Unreal Engine 3 licenses, which would let them release a full commercial title. You can check out The Haunted right now though; it's available for download online, and requires Unreal Tournament III to run. Obviously.

Is it the Hunted or The Haunted? And can I get this for PS3? If so, I'll repurchase it(bought it for 360, didn't play it much). Mods were the main thing that made me jealous when I didn't have one...

Also, last time someone won this contest, if I recall correctly, was the WW2 FPS (crap the name escapes me) that was on Steam a few years back and was a pretty crappy game. Hoping this one is a better game overall.

Also, Left 4 Unreal.

@Rammstein

It was called Red Orchestra and it was far from crappy, it was a nice change of pace compared to all the action WW2 shooters that were out at the time. It had a large learning curve due to it's realistic game play but once you got the hang of things it became tons of fun.

@ChronosWing THAT'S the game! Though, to be honest. A good WW2FPS is like a polished turd... No matter how much you polish it, it's still a turd!

They were lucky that other contestants were dumb enough not to make Duke Nukem Forever. THAT would be totally unreal. Like, kickass unreal. Epic Games would see what unreal truly means.

Wait, wasn't the dev who won this stupid Unreal thing didn't they make...Damnation? The game garnered really bad reviews, sold nothing on the HD consoles, and the dev was shut down and everyone was fired the next week?

I'm with Rammstein (or, as my dad would say it, "ram stean"), does this work with the PS3 version?

Only one way to find out PS3 users! Pop in Unreal III and see if the mod is available in the MODS section.

@Ignominus: The 300/Sparta one is almost as good too!

@theswitcher: the first(I thought they'd be farther along than just 2) winner was Red Orchestra. I defy you to play the Damnation Total Conversion for UT2K4 and hate it, its THAT good. The retail game published by Codemasters on the otherhand is worse than the Holocaust.

@mrandydixon: Thanks for knowing its 'stine' not 'steen'! :D

@Kalmah: <--- What he said. I'd like to know as I don't have it for PS3 but you can bet yer ass I'll buy it if this is on it!
