    Default Unreal Tournament 3 (UT3)

    i dont know if any one else has been waiting an eternity but the gang at Epic just updated their Unreal Tournament III site.

    http://www.unrealtournament3.com/

    i would say i cant wait as i really like all the UT games but thats all i have been doing for this game
    on PC is the only way to play it though it is available to some sort of console

    Has it been confirmed that there will or won't be cross PS3/PC multiplayer? It's already been confirmed that the PS3 can use the PC's mods and maps and stuff. Because if I can play against PC gamers, I'll never need another game as long as I live.

    Another Unreal fan here. It's just an excellent series and there really isn't a comparison to be made between the PC and console ports that's good in my book (though this doesn't keep me from getting them ). But yeah, UT3 has been in my purchase que for awhile now.

    Usually i would agree with this, but UT3 for PS3 got support for both keyboard and mouse so it would be just like playing it on a PC

    Shadowrun for Xbox 360 got cross platform multiplayer (PC and 360).

    Quake 3 Arena worked across DC and PC machines.
    4x4 Evolution worked across DC, PC, and Mac machines.

    Yeah and when the PC users started modding the maps and getting grappling hooks while DC users couldn't it got very f'ed up. Actually you could always tell when you were playing a PC user cause you got pwned.

    As far as Unreal III goes I kinda hope it's not cross platform, but I kinda hope it is, expect oddities and strange things if it is cross-platform. The user created content is what interests me most though, and going cross-platform should only increase that. User created con6tent on a console is definetely something I have wanted a long time.

    God, anybody ever play that user created Evil Dead Cabin level on UT2k4? Insanely fucking awesome, I dunno i'm pumped for this game for the sheer fact that every one has been some of the best online shooting ever next to Half Life, Unreal Championship excluded, sorry but that game was just mediocre.

    Epic Games' boss Mark Rein has stated that there is "no guarantee" Unreal Tournament 3 will make its November release on PC and PS3, casting doubts as to whether the title will remain a PlayStation 3 console exclusive this year.

    At Sony's E3 conference in June, Sony made a big deal of Unreal Tournament 3 being exclusive to the PlayStation 3 in 2007, with publisher Midway confirming a November release.

    But any delays would see the shooter slip dangerously close to its release on Xbox 360 in early 2008.

    "We do not know exactly when the game will be completed," wrote Rein on Epic's official forums.

    "All we've said is that we're hoping for a November release, but as you know we value getting it right over getting it right now, so there's no guarantee of that," he said.

    Its still exclusive. This article was published about 7 hours later:

    http://www.gamesindustry.biz/content_page.php?aid=28550

    "The PS3 console exclusivity is not in doubt. We are shipping the game on the PS3 well before the Xbox 360 version ships," Rein told GamesIndustry.biz

    As long as there's a PC release I'll be happy.

    Default hmmm...

    I'm buying the PS3 version at launch and then trading it in soon after and using the credit toward the PC version....I think it will be worth the little extra cash...

    FFXI got PS2 & PC cross. The 360 threw itself into that mix as well, didn't they?

    Whatever happened to that UT on PS2? That thing was total shit. Absolute total shit. I'm not a PC gamer so that's my main UT experience.

    Arguably, UT and Quake are the two most important multiplayer shooters in gaming history thus far... And much as I love Id, I have to say, Unreal is where the real men are.

    The Xbox versions of UT 2004 were actually decent; I didn't even know there WAS a PS2 version...

    ...But the moral here is that UT 3 on any platform is a huge deal. Myself, I'll be picking it up for PS3; keyboard and mouse support for PS3 seals the deal.

    360 users will survive. I'm sure MS will offer some nifty downloads.

    Waaa. He's excited about his PS3. Such a God damn heartbreaker to see people enjoying their video games.
