Bersy, head of the long-defunct Unreal Tournament Revolution project that aimed to remake the original Unreal Tournament under UT2004, posted a retrospective of it on Youtube.

A post mortem of a project I led for 2 years with one successful release before it was disbanded. UTR was created as a remake of the original UT, for Unreal Engine v2.x - it is what you would classify as a "total conversion" mod for UT2004; every detail of the original game was to be remade and made better in the process. We made it approximately 75% to our final goal in my estimation.

Because of the unpredictable nature of mod teams, who are by no means under any contract to stay the course, and life circumstances of my own, we finally laid it to rest in 2007 for good. Leading the development of a game, managing a team, and having to wear many hats in the process gave me experience that remains valuable to this day in my work with graphics and animation, as well as in many other areas.

Today, many of the talented members of the team have gone on to work for game studios behind some of the AAA titles you've probably played.

As one of those lucky few who got to work on this project, I can indeed say I don't personally regret it, and while it's sad it never got finished, life moves on.

Let's cue it up one more time... for old times' sake.
