]]> <![CDATA[Unreal Tournament 3 Mod Cooker Coming Soon]]> @Rubix42: I'm with you dude. Towards the end of last year, my PS3 was starting to get some game time and loving, what with Uncharted, Heavenly Sword and SingStar but coming into 2008 there's so much to look forward to.

DMC4, MGS4, GT5, UTIII (not out in Aus yet), LBP are all going to get some play time on my console.

Maldron

]]> <![CDATA[Unreal Tournament 3 Mod Cooker Coming Soon]]> @The_Inquisitor: I agree. It definitely seems like people were into other PC titles... I know I was. I had wanted to pick up UT3 for PS3 anyway just to show support for user-generated content/kb&m support on a console, as well as my home theater being a bit more impressive than my desktop gaming setup. But I do intend to pick it up at some point.
 
I hope that it's just a delay and not a death. I've seen some people express a lack of interest in the game because it's not doing anything new gameplay-wise... but that's really one of the things that's good about it too. Epic sticks close to the core audience on UT for the most part, the gameplay experience is still just as twitchy and focused as it ever was. The biggest difference is the visual change. Not sure I go for generic space marine so much, but damn if it doesn't look really nice for a UT game. Can't speak to the quality of the PC demo, but the PS3 version is quite solid and enjoyable.
 
The timing was definitely rather poor, and it went off with little or no fanfare compared to the other titles it was competing against. Even on consoles, where nothing precisely like it has really ever hit before, it was a quiet release. If they wanted to capture holiday sales, they should have underestimated neither the competition nor the need for advertising.
 
It still has a chance, though. UT, like a number of other top-tier PC titles, is a community with deep roots that previously kept sales going for rather long times. Releases of GotY packs and such always helped, so there's upcoming opportunity as well.
 
Of course, it's possible that people have lost interest as a whole, but with the PS3 version gathering community, and 360/Mac/Linux versions all on the horizon, it's a bit early to assume death... so I'm hopeful.
 
As for Quake 4, I wonder if it hadn't been kinda on the way out anyway. I didn't really get the feeling that I cared about the story anymore, if I ever did... and UT just became more of the core twitch multiplayer experience for myself and the others I had LAN parties with. Quake, as a franchise, has been steadily selling less with every iteration since the original, so it really wasn't a surprise. UT isn't much different, granted, but the move to consoles, heavily pushing the engine, getting Gears in front of people, etc makes me think they have a bigger plan to keep and gain mindshare than Id did. But then, Id is about Carmack's big brain, not marketing.

]]> <![CDATA[Unreal Tournament 3 Mod Cooker Coming Soon]]> @The_Inquisitor: Thinking a little bit more, I am a bit concerned about the life of the game.

Anyone seen the Quake 4 stats recently? Abysmal, and it followed up 2 of the most played FPS games ever.

Maybe the high speed twitch games are dying and everyone is going to have to play slowed down tactical camping simulators. =\

]]> <![CDATA[Unreal Tournament 3 Mod Cooker Coming Soon]]> @Ningen: those mods are sweet. I like the quake 3 ones a bit more. 100+ players ftw.

I may just pick up the ps3 version of Ut3. For the convienience of it. I have the demo for my pc but i'm debating. 65" toshiba in full hd? Or pc gaming again?

NessD12

]]> <![CDATA[Unreal Tournament 3 Mod Cooker Coming Soon]]> @dv8godd: I think the lack of response on the PC side has to do with Epic releasing at a really bad time. I have all the other Unreal games sitting on my shelf, but not UT3 - unfortunately with COD4, TF2, Crysis, etc. I just haven't gotten around to getting UT3.

The big problem is, I know what UT3 will bring, having played the demo I know it will be a solid experience, and honestly it felt as good as the old UT99 - but the other games are new and that's just more exciting.

I really think Epic screwed up releasing during the massive rush, they wanted to pick up the holiday sales, but it seems like everyone bought the other AAA titles. Now it's just a question of whether the slow start out of the gate has killed the game, or maybe there are enough people like myself who passed it by for other stuff, but will get it in the near future.

dv8godd

]]> <![CDATA[Unreal Tournament 3 Mod Cooker Coming Soon]]> @EnigmaNemesis: Yeah, I see what you're saying. I know you weren't bashing... just saying that it doesn't seem to be much of a hurdle to just save the file twice, if that's what the cooker does. I guess I see it as creating mods for UT "globally", not necessarily PC or PS3 specifically, though I may be wrong about the compatibility between the versions.
 
I will likely end up owning both versions, personally, so I don't mind at all.
 
I think some of the confusion people have is how they would even go about making mods for the PS3 version. I know I was never under any delusions about running the toolset on the PS3... but there was still some question about what I'd have to do to create maps if I so choose in case I only own the PS3 version.
 
My guess is that it amounts to PC users making mods for PC primarily and PS3 users grabbing those mods and packaging them up for PS3. I used to run UT on Macs, and apart from total conversions, never had any trouble getting PC mods onto the Mac version. PC users sure weren't supporting me, but it didn't prevent me from taking advantage of their work.
 
The part that scares me a bit is the general lack of enthusiasm for the PC version so far. If it really does continue to drop off the map, that's going to reduce the likelihood of PC modders making lots of good stuff. And the PS3 community's ability to add custom content is fully contingent on PC modders being interested unless Epic makes the whole toolset free to download. Not likely, I would think.

dv8godd

]]> <![CDATA[Unreal Tournament 3 Mod Cooker Coming Soon]]> @Akmed: I don't think so. At this point, the only way to get the tools is to own the PC version... partly because it's a lot of shit like textures and such that come with the game that you need.
 
If I understand correctly, the only thing coming out right now is an update for the PC version's toolset to allow it to export the PS3's compressed format.
 
I don't believe PS3 version owners can expect the toolset for free, rather like Mac owners never got it either. It'll only run on PCs at this point, requires a ton of game assets to be useful, and so they put it on the PC disc.

EnigmaNemesis

]]> <![CDATA[Unreal Tournament 3 Mod Cooker Coming Soon]]> @Akmed:

You need to purchase Unreal 3 for the PC to get UnrealED with it (which comes packed in for free basically).

And also, I suggest a lot of RAM while using the program. Just runs better overall.

EnigmaNemesis

]]> <![CDATA[Unreal Tournament 3 Mod Cooker Coming Soon]]> @dv8godd:

I understand that. What I am saying, is why would a PC gamer waste his time making mods for the PS3 other than notoriety on blogs and gaming sites.

Since PC mods, etc don't stand out too much since there is thousands. And only select few do. Thus since console games, such as this for example, is getting tons of coverage everywhere, they will see this as opportunity of fame.

Other than that, why bother making mods for the PS3 when you already own the PC version. You know what I am saying.

Not bashing it in any way, just stating how I felt on it, and assumed before this was announced you would need the PC version to make PS3 mods, since there is no UnrealED on the PS3.

EnigmaNemesis

]]> <![CDATA[Unreal Tournament 3 Mod Cooker Coming Soon]]> is it free for PC? i mean i have a shitty PC but have a PS3 with UTIII. can my shitty PC make mods for FREE?

Akmed

]]> <![CDATA[Unreal Tournament 3 Mod Cooker Coming Soon]]> @EnigmaNemesis: Isn't notoriety why map makers make free maps anyway? :) It sure isn't for money. And considering the amount of time and effort invested, it isn't just about having a good time playing the game. There's got to be an ego boost aspect involved.
 
The only reasons I can think of not to make the mods you create available on both is either:
 
A) if the implementations are completely incompatible and it's a hassle to port them... which would strike me as strange for maps and simple mods. Total conversions I can see being difficult, but straight up maps?
 
B) the creator is such an elitist that they want to punish PS3 owners for not being PC players right off the cuff.
 
Do you really feel that there will be a big divide in the mods that get released? I realize there's a rift between the two versions, at least ideologically, but I was under the impression it was little more than running PC mods through this "cooker" to get them into the PS3's packed-up format. Is that wrong?

dv8godd

]]> <![CDATA[Unreal Tournament 3 Mod Cooker Coming Soon]]> So PS3 gamer's are going to "use" PC gamers to get their mods?

Console fans, better get chummy with PC Elitists!

:-P

I knew this was how it was going to work, having worked with the UT engine for years, but since you already got the PC version, why bother making PS3 mods, other than notoriety?

EnigmaNemesis

]]> <![CDATA[Unreal Tournament 3 Mod Cooker Coming Soon]]> The bitch slapping over at Penny arcade over this issue is fascinating. P-A has UT3 dead to rights on this - all this talk about "exclusivity windows" for a product that, ultimately, just hasn't been finished on time.

After all, I'm in the UK, and it isn't released here. It's not like they're re-recording the audio in LimeyVision, you know.

]]> <![CDATA[Unreal Tournament 3 Mod Cooker Coming Soon]]> this stuff should have been there are launch. congrats to epic for releasing an incomplete game.

]]> <![CDATA[Unreal Tournament 3 Mod Cooker Coming Soon]]> @melvin22: Thats probably correct, considering Sony is making people load the mods through flash cards. However, I don't see anything stopping Epic from allowing a user to load up a mod on his PS3 and then transferring it via P2P through the game to another player. Perhaps there is some sort of agreement between Epic and Sony not allowing that, but at least Sony had no issues with allowing user created content for the game.

I think with MS, they don't want unapproved content on their system, period. I don't recall the quote exactly, but it was along the lines of Mark saying MS doesn't want unapproved content, so thats why Mark went PS3 first since Sony didn't have a problem with having UT3 being customized via mods on their console.

Moonchilde

]]> <![CDATA[Unreal Tournament 3 Mod Cooker Coming Soon]]> @dh4645: Yeah, I will too. I think what will end up happening is, if it isn't fixed, it'll segment the community into groups of people who are like you and I with custom content... and a mass of people who are too casual.
 
Epic will probably also release their own "map packs" to give us more content as well, giving variety but in a package you can reasonably expect people to have installed. Not my ideal solution, but a good way to break the inevitable monotony.

dv8godd

]]> <![CDATA[Unreal Tournament 3 Mod Cooker Coming Soon]]> @dh4645: The thing that sucks is that maps have version numbers associated with them. So you can ask your buddies if they have the map "Fuggedaboudit". They will all respond "yes, I do!" Then they will get kicked off of your server because you have map version 1.9, another guy has version 1.7. And another guy has version 2.0. And they are all slightly different. It is a nightmare.

On the PC version of the game, the PC would simply download the server's version of the map automatically, store it on your hard drive, and you could play.

yeah, it will be a headache. but i'll be getting every possible map as it comes out to play it myself.
if someone else doesn't have it when i go to play online, then i'll just stick to the standard maps. no biggie.

dh4645

]]> <![CDATA[Unreal Tournament 3 Mod Cooker Coming Soon]]> @Striderhayasa: "n the PC side (forgive me if this has been mentioned already) if you don't have the mods that a particular host is running, UT would ask if you want to download the needed mods right then and there. I don't see why this couldn't be possible on PS3."
 
It should be possible... it just isn't doing it right now. I've been a long time player of UT myself, and yeah... the pc version gets it right. Unfortunately, after testing last night, no one could connect to my server when a custom map was running unless they already jumped through the hoops of getting that same content imported manually themselves. Or they were kicked if the map switched to a custom one they hadn't install later in play. It just isn't working like the pc version always has... (but hopefully soon will).
 
Don't get me wrong, I am really enjoying UTIII on the PS3... a lot. But custom content is going to be more of an annoyance than a boon for open-world multiplayer if they don't get auto-syncing of that content working. It should be possible, even though the maps are somewhat larger than they used to be.
 
Either that or they should set up a true community online that can be accessed through the game where users could grab uploaded content so there's at least an easier way to get that content in that the current system.
 
Currently you have to download it, unzip it, stick it in a special structure on a moveable device, launch UT, then import and unpack it. Problem is... you have to do this for every single map and/or mod individually... so every mod is a 3 minute process.
 
Of course, once you get it going, everything is peachy... but imagine what that's gonna be like 6 months down the road when there's 100 maps, 15 mods, and 2 total conversions under development. Headache.

As such, people with a working brain realized PS3 usb support is just that...USB SUPPORT. Meaning I plug a SD card reader, external HDD, thumbdrive or nearly ANY USB device into the damn console and it fucking works.

But hey, it's not so strange. It's a sign of the times and another indication that sometimes, it's just simply not about good games.

]]> <![CDATA[Unreal Tournament 3 Mod Cooker Coming Soon]]> @ErickTheRed: As previously said, your PC doesn't have to handle UT3 to be able to do the editor. It's a perfect way for people will low end machines, but a PS3 to create their own mods or "cook" great existing PC mods.

As for the person asking if we'd want something like the forge. I say, hell no. The forge is a great improvement over console editors, but it can not come near the customization ability that you get from these editors. Seriously, if you haven't tried an editor, go out and try one. Try Starcraft's. It's very basic compared to the ones coming out now, but it'll give you the basic idea. Essentially, you can change almost EVERYTHING if you wanted to.

darknessgp

]]> <![CDATA[Unreal Tournament 3 Mod Cooker Coming Soon]]> The PS3 version does support "auto down loads". Most of the issues are going to come from the size of the file. But as a "client" in theory, you should be able to join any server after you DL whatever mutators/mods etc, they are running. Only maps as far as I know need to be user loaded on the PS3 at this point.

EDGE

]]> <![CDATA[Unreal Tournament 3 Mod Cooker Coming Soon]]> It'll be great when the cooking capability gets integrated into the editor, and people can happily create and test their own mods. Then hopefully we'll get a followup to Tycho's nonsensical anti-UT3 rant. You know the it's ridiculous that I need to have a USB key or use a 'hacked ipod' (wtf?) one? I've loved Penny Arcade for years but his two anti-Epic posts about UT3 were just embarassing.

I mean Assassin's Creed gets an 'oh but it really is awesome you should still buy it' apology, Mass Effect gets the 'the loading times are absolutely intolerable... but it's the BEST GAME EVER', and then Epic goes to great lengths to bring awesome features never before seen in a console game to the PS3 and they get bagged on twice? So strange.

I don't see why this couldn't be possible on PS3. I remember doing it quite a few times on UT GoTY edition when I first got it. There has to be a way for mods to be available through the game if some people are without them once the community becomes large enough. I'm late to this discussion so if I missed something forgive me.

Anyways - to all the modders out there...can we get some transformer skins and maybe some Smurf and Mario skins. Maybe a SSBB themed UTIII map with characters featured from the upcoming title. Maybe even a Goldeneye themed level since its never going to see the light of day on VC. It's all possible. I'd love to be able to hip thrust at the end of a match with Papi Smurf. There's something wildly erotic and disturbing about that. It'd be awesome!

ErickTheRed

]]> <![CDATA[Unreal Tournament 3 Mod Cooker Coming Soon]]> @Rectangle: That's pretty much my point. Without some kind of way to help keep each player's mods and maps in sync, it's going to grow increasingly difficult to effectively run custom additions without a lot of hand-holding and hassles. Playing offline: fine. Playing with close friends by doing a lot of coordinated effort: not too bad. Playing with the world: rather impractical without some automated syncing.

dv8godd

]]> <![CDATA[Unreal Tournament 3 Mod Cooker Coming Soon]]> @Kyle81: I'll rephrase... it's possible, but will become annoying difficult and impractical. It's possible to play anyone that has the new maps, of course, but it's untenable to run them as a host unless everyone has them installed because you kick people when the map gets chosen. It's a poor choice for moving forward as more mods get released because it's going to be increasingly difficult to manage all that over time. In a few months, it could very likely become a nightmare to play with people who don't have the exact same mods and maps installed as you, and increasingly difficult to be sure they do without some sort of automated downloading from the host.
 
Of course, you could set up a host that just runs mod maps and directs people where to get them, but it's nowhere near as efficient as the old way of auto-download. It's just a ponderous barrier to entry for something as basic as new maps.

dv8godd

]]> <![CDATA[Unreal Tournament 3 Mod Cooker Coming Soon]]> @Moonchilde: When you think about it, it may be even more than just distributing the content via the Live Marketplace that they're not ok with. After all, Sony isn't allowing the online distribution on the PSN either. You have to download the content on a PC and transfer it manually via external storage to the PS3.

melvin22

]]> <![CDATA[Unreal Tournament 3 Mod Cooker Coming Soon]]> @dv8godd: Jeez, look at the UT2004 servers out there with mods installed. Mods are never "finished." They are always being hacked to pieces. The chances of getting a group of 16 people together with all the same versions of all the mods you want to use is going to be nearly impossible in a very short while without auto download. :(

This is a huge handicap.

]]> <![CDATA[Unreal Tournament 3 Mod Cooker Coming Soon]]> @dv8godd: How is it impossible to play anyone.... I've played the new maps just fine.

Kyle81

]]> <![CDATA[Unreal Tournament 3 Mod Cooker Coming Soon]]> @Rectangle: You gotta take mods off a pc and put them onto your ps3. Reason being mainly cause of liability to Epic and the PSN. LIVE and PSN do not like the idea of user created downloadable content due to liability if something goes wrong. Epic had to work around this to get mods on the PS3, and they have no idea if they can do the same for the 360 version

Kyle81

]]> <![CDATA[Unreal Tournament 3 Mod Cooker Coming Soon]]> @Rectangle: No... it doesn't. Very annoying. Hope they fix that in an update, because it's incredibly lame. Several of the new maps are pretty cool too, shame it's practically impossible to play them with anyone as a result of this.

Many of them tend to be the software, or a slightly dumbed down version, of what the devs actually used. Another game that does this is Oblivion. It's editor is what the devs used.
