11/27/06 - Unreal Tournament 2007 Vehicle Preview

 

PC Gamer: Tell us about the newest vehicle in the UT universe.

 

Jeff Morris: The Necris fury is the first air vehicle for the Necris vehicle team. It’s basically air superiority—its main goal is shooting down other air units, so in a Necris-versus-Necris fight, it would be against other Furies. They’re really dogfighters.

 

Something we liked about and touched on in 2K4 and wanted to expand on in 2K7 was the nature of air war. I’ve played a lot of flight sims, and we wanted to take some of the neat elements of flight sims, like energy fighters versus stall fighters: Some fighters are really great at going fast but don’t turn very well, and some are kind of slow but can turn on a dime. There are these great match-ups through history, whether it’s the Zero versus the Pacific Wildcat in World War II or the first jets in World War II versus the best prop planes around…we wanted to do those sorts of match-ups. The Cicada, the hovering vehicle on the Axon team, is the close support vehicle, and the Raptor is the Axon air superiority vehicle, and they’re both sort of slow but very maneuverable vehicles—in the parlance of the genre, they’re the stall fighters.
