]]> <![CDATA[Unreal Tournament III 360 Reminds Us We'd Forgotten About It]]> @Ehardergardens: Hmm looks Like I made a booboo...I knew Havok was a physics engine, but for the life of me I can't think of another graphics engine with a name...I mean Bungie did their own (less than stellar) tweak of what they built for halo 2...and I know Crysis is Havok powered, but is that only physics?

]]> <![CDATA[Unreal Tournament III 360 Reminds Us We'd Forgotten About It]]> Well I played only on pc, I don't care for consoles anyway and I must say this game is awesome. The graphics look really good in high resolution with a good pc, the gameplay is amazing, player and vehicle controls are top notch, there's a lot going on, almost no bug, a lot of gameplay styles.
Sure we've seen a lot of FPS's over the past years, but this one seems to be left out way too much compared to others.
I used to be a little deceived by other UT's after the first one, but this one blew my mind and I told it to all UT fans I know.

Oh and, I can play this game with my MX 440 video card and it still looks nice and fully playable, the game is really well programed and doesn't need a top pc to play it, not like 80% of new pc FPS's.

I think it's the best shooter game in years and no one should talk bad about it if they didn't try it on pc...has for a 360 version, sure it will look good, but a game fast like this, a mouse is needed to fully enjoy and be competitive.

]]> <![CDATA[Unreal Tournament III 360 Reminds Us We'd Forgotten About It]]> I got it for the PS3, taking my PS3 games library to a towering 3. To be honest its a solid enough game and plays like all of the UT games play. Somehow the graphics just don't look mind-blowingly good (there are weird texture fill-ins when you switch weapons etc)

The big let down is the PS3 gamepad. I always thought that the PS2 pad was crap at for FPS games and the Sixaxxis is no different (wtf is with the sloping trigger buttons too ??)

Online is pretty much hit or miss too with little voice chat also the much glorified user content makes it a PITA to join games when you don't have the add-on. A system that hosted and downloaded these addons as required would be nice, it IS a gaming console and not a PC after all !!

After playing this and then thinking about my experience on Live with all of my friends I will be trading this in and getting the 360 version as it is sure to provide a much more complete gaming experience.

Every new character I get (recently Samus) and every new crazy map I find like Flat Wars and the Lego Map (which, unfortunately due to level destruction, doesn't work too well online) just makes it more fun for me. What would make it >>>>> Halo on multiplayer would be the simple addition of split screen. That is the one unforgivable sin for Epic, really.

I don't know game Ungruntled is playing, but you can customize any function to any PS3 button that you want.

For instance, I put jump/dodge onto L2, since it doesn't involve me taking my fingers away from the shoulder buttons or the analog sticks (it defaults to X).

While I'll admit this game isn't perfect, lack of customization is not one of it's issues.

I'll take Unreal or CoD4 over Halo any day of the week.

]]> <![CDATA[Unreal Tournament III 360 Reminds Us We'd Forgotten About It]]> I was sure I read that EPIC was working with Microsoft to ensure that user generated content would be allowed, and thus the delay...maybe this means that those problems have been worked out, EPIC seemed pretty adamant that they didn't wont to release without user generated content being allowed.

I agree it is what UT is all about, and I'm sure EPIC and Microsoft know that too. I'd wait for more info on this before a judgment is made.

UTIII with user generated content on the 360 will be the superior version, why? Better controller, voice chat (I never hear anyone talking online in Ps3 games???) and achievements.

]]> <![CDATA[Unreal Tournament III 360 Reminds Us We'd Forgotten About It]]> @RagnarokAngel: Havok is a physics engine (to my knowledge) and does not compete with UE3.

Ehardergardens

]]> <![CDATA[Unreal Tournament III 360 Reminds Us We'd Forgotten About It]]> @jfx316: Did you miss playing the other Unreal games? It's pretty fast...I had to seriously laugh out loud. It's not that your comment is wrong or anything. It's just painfully obvious you missed out on the other gem Unreal creations.

Oh and to everyone complaining that the U3 engine sucks should really look at how many games it's powering...since that would be soemthing like 3/4 of the games you will probably own...There is competition, yeah, but everyone and I mean EVERYONE has a license to use the U3 engine unless they opted for Havok.

On a side note I personally think the graphics on Gears sort of are way better than CoD4. Meh, maybe it's personal taste coming through from the days of the cartooney grit that was Warcraft 2 and Starcraft. Been a big fan of making things look realisticly unrealistic. Oh and not to mention that the game is titled UNreal tournament. Why would I possibly want "real world view" or whatever crap it was that you put up there..

Now I have not played much UT3 (actually that would be a 0 because I lack the rig to get it running :-(( ) but all of you complaining about UT3 being garbage sound exactly like all the people that complained of UT2k3/4 being garbage. The thing with the Unreal games that I found was that sure the core gameplay was generally over the top, spam fest for weapons (with some people that could dodge anything which I never figured how they did it). Mods, Mutators, and User Maps are what really made Unreal have staying power. In my mind U3 will be absolutely a gem when I get back from serving my Mission (yeah, I'm Mormon, If you live in San Jose expect to see me!) because of User created content. I got into U3 late but everything I had the most fun doing was messing around with the Mods, stuf like Chaos UT and the sweet UT RPG. TCs and weapon replacements. So Much Good Stuff! Oh and not to mention that the game of football or whatever it was called was SO MUCH FUN (at least for me) and makes Grifball look like the serious POS that it is.

Enough Ranting. I would never buy it on a 360 because User Content IS what UT is all about. Oh and I'm totally looking forward to another Red Orchestra game of awesome proportions to win the Let's Make Something UNREAL! competition. Epic are, imho, some of the best people to be fronting in the games industry. Especially when they do away with Direct X for the U4 engine...Which sounds to me like linux will be my gaming RIG at that point - no bloat in the OS *cough*VISTA*cough* to slow down the performance in game. Perfect.

]]> <![CDATA[Unreal Tournament III 360 Reminds Us We'd Forgotten About It]]> @AlreadyDead: You are right about Plunkett. When I read your statement I had to ask my self "Who is Plunkett?", and scanned the commenters to try to fugure out who you were talking about. I was amazed to see that is was the "author" of the post.

If you had said Ashcraft, Crecente or even Fahey, I would have known who you were talking about. I have read every Kotaku post for the past several months and have never noticed his name before. This guy must be new and desperate for attention.

Somebody should tell him that people have gotten Banhammered for making fat cracks about people who have pictures posted in articles on this site. I can remember at least 2 were from when "Gertzmangate" broke... Shouldn't the "writers" for the site be held to the same standards as the commenters, if not higher even?

Anyway, setting aside the grammar school reporting style, I myself, am not surprised by the 360 delay. No KBM + no user mods = no interest. I do think that is is funny that better games are being made on their own (UT3) engine....

Mr.SithNinja

]]> <![CDATA[Unreal Tournament III 360 Reminds Us We'd Forgotten About It]]> UT3 was hot garbage. I pretty much give up on non-Valve PC FPSes at this point.

It's sad - I've been playing FPSes since Wolf 3D, and I'm really sick of all this watered-down idiot bullshit. It would take a proper Deus Ex sequel, or System Shock 3, (BioShock was very, very, close to that level) to really raise my interest in new FPS gaming at this point.

xboxishuge

]]> <![CDATA[Unreal Tournament III 360 Reminds Us We'd Forgotten About It]]> Fat jokes are cheap Plunkett. You can do better. I really wish you would too. The only thing crap like that does is bring Kotaku down.

UT3 is great on the PS3. I really like the new vehicles and the portals in the maps are awesoem too. the gameplay mechanic is a bit dated, but good for a throwdown every so often. It wil find an audience on 360, but UT2k4 was the pinnacle for this series. I don't suspect there will be another game released.

]]> <![CDATA[Unreal Tournament III 360 Reminds Us We'd Forgotten About It]]> @Talleyrand:

If you played the DEMO for Ut3, Yes, Crap, but the full versoin is alot better, Sometimes you can't always go off of what the demo is like, sometimes you gotta play the full game to really see how awsome it is.

dsrtstorm

]]> <![CDATA[Unreal Tournament III 360 Reminds Us We'd Forgotten About It]]> @ManjiKengo: I agree that ut3 has some nice vehicles and graphics, but they needed new weapons too. I cranked up ut2k4 the other day and found it more fun, which made me more disappointed in ut3.
I have it on ps3 and it looks great and plays fine, just not enough to take away from other online games.

Anyone know if they allow dynamic mod downloading, i.e.
if you join a game with new content it will pull it down and install it?
I thought it didn't, but I've seen it appear to do this.

Also I'll add yet again, I really can't stand your incredibly juvenile characters Epic. The art work is amazing, but your voice actors (aside from the robots) and characters just seem childish. I put up with it for ut2k4, as the gameplay was wonderful, but even Gears of War's really silly macho manly men aren't this bad. This was one reason I moved to the BF series as they didn't feature taunts that grade school children would find cool. See TF2 for amusing and non crappy characters/taunts.

]]> <![CDATA[Unreal Tournament III 360 Reminds Us We'd Forgotten About It]]> @ Tepoz: thanks dude. the only way epic should release UT3 on 360 is if supports all the same features of the ps3. otherwise it's no dice. i would guess the 360 version should use the new UE3 features so it should look better, but we'll see in two weeks. if the game gets no love on 360 that'll be sad, it really is quite good, despite it releasing on a unpopular console at the worst of the year with no marketing.

]]> <![CDATA[Unreal Tournament III 360 Reminds Us We'd Forgotten About It]]> Luke really isn't exagerating, there is no buzz for this game on the 360. UTIII on the 360 should sell around around the 300K units marks but not much more than the sales on the PS3. If UTIII had been released at the same time on the 360, it's sales ratio would have been around 1(PS3)/2(360) given historical, multi-console FPS sales.

Once UTIII became a timed exclusive for the PS3, 360 owners scratched it out of their lists. Let's also not forget that both PS3 and PC owners have complaints about this game in general and it has shown in it's very low PC/PS3 sales. For Epic, ~300K unit sales on the 360 is still profitable and will shore up its low sales on the PC and PS3. For the majority of 360 owners though, this is either a pass or a rental.

]]> <![CDATA[Unreal Tournament III 360 Reminds Us We'd Forgotten About It]]> @ Yin: that's what i was going to say. i used to be in console over PC camp. but my rig just crapped out for good. instead or upgrading/repairing it again, i'm just going to put together a new one. i can put together a good rig for the cost of a ps3/360 and two games. it won't run crysis but it sure as hell will run UT3 because the engjne scales so nicely.

Striderhayasa - Phillyyakk on PSN and Live.

]]> <![CDATA[Unreal Tournament III 360 Reminds Us We'd Forgotten About It]]> Well, as a 360 owner who is still playing tons of Halo 3 and CoD4 there really is no reason to pick up UT3. I was never a big fan of the hyper fast UT gameplay anyway. I think it might find an audience though considering how many 360 owners pick up anything and everything half decent thats released (especially shooters). Me, I'll pass. Bring on GTAIV!

]]> <![CDATA[Unreal Tournament III 360 Reminds Us We'd Forgotten About It]]> @CanaryWundaboy: Cause thats all anyone plays? Those charts of people playing other games on live must be lies!

@Striderhayasa - Phillyyakk on PSN and Live.: Well COD4 on PC is superior version, but few seem to realize :P

Kyle81

]]> <![CDATA[Unreal Tournament III 360 Reminds Us We'd Forgotten About It]]> I own a 360 and even i think they should just cancel the game. Epic did a fantastic job with the PS3 version. I'd honestly hate to see a watered down version for the 360 with no mod support. The only way i'd even consider buying it was if it offered mod support. Without mod support, its really nothing special and since CoD4 is so good it would just be a waste of my money.

]]> <![CDATA[Unreal Tournament III 360 Reminds Us We'd Forgotten About It]]> @Thomaticus: The cost argument always annoys me. A console with 1+ extra controllers and the 2x price of games seems more or at least equally expensive to me. Plus a computer can do more things, so you get more features for the price too.

]]> <![CDATA[Unreal Tournament III 360 Reminds Us We'd Forgotten About It]]> Ultimately, UT3 is NOT going to pull anyone away from COD4 and Halo 3 anytime soon. So why bother?

]]> <![CDATA[Unreal Tournament III 360 Reminds Us We'd Forgotten About It]]> @ The_nub_next_door: i understood that but using that point, why play CoD4 or Halo on console? The Pc versions will always smoke the console versions across the board. support, features, customization, graphic quality.... if you want the best in team play and massive battles, we should all be playing Tribes on PC. That's not a game, that's a career.

]]> <![CDATA[Unreal Tournament III 360 Reminds Us We'd Forgotten About It]]> Are they actually going to improve on the PS3/PC version?

Because most people have been quite disappointed with UT3, and I believe sales were quite disappointing as well.

]]> <![CDATA[Unreal Tournament III 360 Reminds Us We'd Forgotten About It]]> @ edhe (xbl): cmon man. the core game is still a blast to play. Epic included some awesome maps, vehicles and mods in the retail release. speaking of awesome... Necris vehicles are THE SHIT. The Darkwalker and the Scavenger are nightmarish watching those things moving across the terrain. Fan mod have been part of the experience since UT99. How is that feature a bad thing?

People are getting on this UT 'gameplay is dead' mentality. O'rly? Then why were people downloading and playing DOOM on LIVE? DOOM and Wolfenstein started it all. Quake 2/Q3 Arena and UT99 made it what it is today. that's like saying people looking to play tekken6 or soul caliber 4 are stuck in the 90s. So we shouldn't play Starcraft2 then? great gameplay is great gameplay. UT3 has great gameplay mods or not. Epic should have kept Onslaught, included more maps from UT2k4, and Midway should have marketed the game better. other than that UT3 is a blast on my ps3 and i didn't have to upgrade my rig to run it.

Striderhayasa - Phillyyakk on PSN and Live.

]]> <![CDATA[Unreal Tournament III 360 Reminds Us We'd Forgotten About It]]> Well, I don't expect it to ever get canned. The UTIII editor shipped with a Kismet action "Unlock Achievement". I don't think that would be in the editor if Epic never intended to use it.

Doomstink

]]> <![CDATA[Unreal Tournament III 360 Reminds Us We'd Forgotten About It]]> @Striderhayasa - Phillyyakk on PSN and Live.: Sure UTIII has more content than any other console game.

The_nub_next_door

]]> <![CDATA[Unreal Tournament III 360 Reminds Us We'd Forgotten About It]]> @NessD12:

I played the PS3 version, and while the game itself was good from a technical standpoint (ran smooth), the game is strictly a multiplayer affair. So when I'm online at a primetime, and there are only 8 games being played, there's a problem. There's a bigger problem when I can finally get into one of the games, and the map is so small, the whole match turns into "run around spamming the fire button until I die", because that's all you can with a smallish map filled with players with no sense of risk/reward. Who cares if you die when you respawn right away?

I think UT3 could be fun if you had a dedicated set of friends to play with, so you could customize games, but PSN isn't exactly the most robust or populated online service.

I read your sarcasm tag, I'm just not that dismissive I guess. The core functions of supporting true mods on a console is an "epic" one but they failed in the total delivery and that's what hurting it. It also says volumes when Epic shows about as much respect for the PC as most console fanboys do knowing that they (Epic) made it integral to the UT series success.

PCs are king for mod support and map packs period. notice i said 'console generation' as in gaming console. when ps3 and 360 gets all of the pc CoD4 content for free, then we have a comparison. until then, there is no comparison. UT3 still offers more content than any other shooter this console generation thus far.

Striderhayasa - Phillyyakk on PSN and Live.

]]> <![CDATA[Unreal Tournament III 360 Reminds Us We'd Forgotten About It]]> Why do people talk about the mods for UT3 as if that's what you're actually buying? The game needs to be good enough on it's own without User Content.

]]> <![CDATA[Unreal Tournament III 360 Reminds Us We'd Forgotten About It]]> I just have a feeling this is going to flop hard on the 360 not just b/c user content bull but just about all people with a 360 are still playing cod4 and halo but the way live is setup just puts it a horrible position. One thing though there is no leveling up like halo/cod4 just letterboards unless they added that which I doubt they did. I played ut3 for a while had fun then I realized there are barely anyone using mods so I just played with bots to be in mod heaven then it got old playin with bots. Then I finally bought cod4 and wow I just cant go back to ut3 after that especially since there is a reason to keep playing as you can always get better weapons- there is just no sense of achievement when playing. When you compare ut3 to the heavyweights it just cant compare, I mean when I was playing starwars battlefront I could upgrade classes and battlefield 2 you got classes, stats, letterboard and clans the only REAL next gen thing about ut3 is its graphics it feels like a dumbed down timesplitters with great graphics which is disrespectful to that game. All the guns feel like nerf guns and the power up system is just broken now it seriously like ut3 is kicking at a corpse trying to revive it. I dont know maby im pissed that I spent $65 on this game to be bored with it in a couple days and then buy cod4 to be blown away.

Honestly I would like the option to have UT3 on all 3 platforms but don't get a big head making comments as though the PC wasn't the most critical part of unreal development and play.

]]> <![CDATA[Unreal Tournament III 360 Reminds Us We'd Forgotten About It]]> @ Ghost_of_Sparta: personally, dumping a crapload of FPS games on a console that won't support the best control scheme or offer a good alternative is asking for trouble. UT3 on PS3 is proof positive that dual analog players get raped against m/kb / splitfish players. i've been hosting UT3 games for weeks and haven't lost more than six matches online. the accuracy just wasn't there for dual analog players. when i did lose it was a second place finish with a stray bot taking first. UT3 is too fast for gimped analog controls. especially with speed freaks mutator or pc speed mutator. trying to strafe, turn, aim up and fire in a smooth motion is a clumsy messy affair with analogs. Wiimote is another example of why dual analog needs to be upgraded or replaced with something more accurate. 360 FPS games are a no-go for me. I don't care who made it or what's in it. what's the point if i need the computer's help to hit anything?

]]> <![CDATA[Unreal Tournament III 360 Reminds Us We'd Forgotten About It]]> IMO, UT3 is one of the best and my favourite shooter out there. Gets equal if not more love then CoD4 does on my PS3. Mouse and keyboard support and complete support for all the PC mods. Its fantastic, and the core game itself has so much to offer.

Some people complain about the lack of evolution, and while a fan of the series notes that there have been some pretty durastic changes, new doesn't allways mean good. having a really down to earth game with everything that made the game fun (Motherf$%king Impact hammer is back!).

Ghost_of_Sparta

]]> <![CDATA[Unreal Tournament III 360 Reminds Us We'd Forgotten About It]]> Actually, I haven't moved on from the 'late 90s', if by that you mean fun gameplay. Are people who like SSBB stuck in some other decade?

It's fun, it's got a ton of maps, and I've built my own mods already.

The oh-so-perfect-for-shooters 360 doesn't need UT3, because as you recall they have Shadowrun, a game built for this system that is the ideal home for shooters. I recall fondly the vast array of maps, diversity of character models and customization options, and the intensely frantic battles between 360 owners and the guy who bought it for his PC (Good game, Earl!).

I get that you're missing a huge number of shooter nuts by not going 360, but we have actually reached the point where companies make just as big a mistake by not releasing for the PS3.

Until the PS3 can actually make it's own modes and community and Epics PS3 delivery pipeline doesn't involve running over to your PC with a memory stick... I wouldn't talk so much shit if I were you.

]]> <![CDATA[Unreal Tournament III 360 Reminds Us We'd Forgotten About It]]> 'I completely forgot about Unreal Tournament III. Sorry, Epic! No harm meant, it's just, I think the world's FPS games/fans have kinda moved on from the late 90s.'

Haha! Fucking yes! UT3 kept me interested for literally about 10 minutes before I uninstalled it. Same game I was playing 10 years ago.

PS3 even has it's own exclusives.... the two systems have about same number of shooters. Of course ignore the PS3, it doesn't have Halo right?

]]> <![CDATA[Unreal Tournament III 360 Reminds Us We'd Forgotten About It]]> Come on fella's, lets be honest shooters aren't ps3's stronsuit. The author is right to say that if you make an online shooter without a 360 version your asking for trouble.

]]> <![CDATA[Unreal Tournament III 360 Reminds Us We'd Forgotten About It]]> I have it for PC, but mine is terrible so I'll definitely be picking it up for the 360.

]]> <![CDATA[Unreal Tournament III 360 Reminds Us We'd Forgotten About It]]> my brother got this game. I think i might get because i've become very interested in downloading the mods. I'm gonna get this game and if someone comes out with a cowboy bebop mod, i'm getting it TODAY!!!

The PS3 version supports K/M, so you don't have to use the controller if you don't want to.

Jun581 won't give you tree fiddy!!

]]> <![CDATA[Unreal Tournament III 360 Reminds Us We'd Forgotten About It]]> The new "games headquarters", Blockbuster, listed UT3 as releasing on May 9th along with Resident Evil 5. I mentioned to the manager that the dates were unlikely at best, but she insisted they were coming out then "because the computer said so"...

]]> <![CDATA[Unreal Tournament III 360 Reminds Us We'd Forgotten About It]]> Microsoft is scared of user content because of Forza 2. Go on there right now and you'll find "inappropriate" content immediately(<3 naked anime girls riiiiite?), but the big thing was that someone made a white power car and some people complained about it. Which sucks because when people complain about user content it really ruins it for everyone else.

]]> <![CDATA[Unreal Tournament III 360 Reminds Us We'd Forgotten About It]]> @ Ungruntled: you have no idea what you're talking about.

@ Molockian: the games i host used mods and i get a good turn out. like last night's Map Mod Sessions.

@ The_nub_next_door: CoD4 has how many map packs? Halo 3 has how many? UT3 has over 70 maps available, plus mutators, character mods and game modes. it may not be the same support as UT2k4 but it's still more content than any other FPS this console generation.

@ kylo4: dual analog controls are shit no matter which console they're on. when you can finish or compete on the highest levels or against good player with dual analog and auto-aim turned off, come talk to me. until then, it's no rap. m/kb, splitfish, wiimote...anything else is skilless auto-aim bullshit. DS FPS cramp inducing controls are more accurate than clumsy dual analog.

]]> <![CDATA[Unreal Tournament III 360 Reminds Us We'd Forgotten About It]]> @kylo4: "Unreal Tournament 3 could be great on 360 and might be more successful than the PS3 one ever will be."

with no mods and having to pay for content that's free on other versions? unlikely. i think that UT3 has the PS3 stink on it, so most 360 owners will pass on it.

i like it, but it takes some getting used to after playing other games. it's pretty fast.

]]> <![CDATA[Unreal Tournament III 360 Reminds Us We'd Forgotten About It]]> @Ungruntled: I'm bored of people saying that Call of Duty's Engine is what makes it look great. The only reason that game looks great is that it doesn't have mad physics engines or vehicles going on in the background. It barely even has a proper ragdoll model.

Thats why it can look half decent on the next-gen consoles. Other games that have tonnes of stuff going on in the background don't get recognised for they're technical marvel which I believe they should be. If you could drive cars, have great body physics, interact with all the environment or record a video or have even larger multiplayer on Call of Duty 4 the graphics would suffer. This is why Halo, Frontlines any other FPS with stuff going on suffers.

I still think UT3 looks amazing concidering what its doing.

]]> <![CDATA[Unreal Tournament III 360 Reminds Us We'd Forgotten About It]]> @Ungruntled: Shit graphics engine? Do you mean SD stands for shitty defininition? Because I can assure you this game graphics on a HD display looks great, it's better than Gears of War, but it looks less filtered, the colors are more vivid.

FredQC

]]> <![CDATA[Unreal Tournament III 360 Reminds Us We'd Forgotten About It]]> I'd completely forgotten about UT3 as well. Then again, I'd never heard of Call of Duty 4 until some people started talking about how it's a good deal for 20% off on Black Friday.

]]> <![CDATA[Unreal Tournament III 360 Reminds Us We'd Forgotten About It]]> @Allcars: The PS3 version is really good plus it supports Keyboard/Mouse as well as free mods. The 360 version will lack all this good stuff.

]]> <![CDATA[Unreal Tournament III 360 Reminds Us We'd Forgotten About It]]> I've never got on with the Unreal games. I just don't like playing them. So this could stay a PS3 exclusive for all i care.

Considering all the other top quality games coming out this year i'd just be buying it for the hell of it.

]]> <![CDATA[Unreal Tournament III 360 Reminds Us We'd Forgotten About It]]> @kylo4: Ah finally someone that understands the superiority of the xbox 360 thumbsticks and triggers.

I felt half fucking retarded trying to play drakes fortune on ps3 and the cod games that came out for ps2.

The problem is, all the previous unreal games on the xbox fucking blew ass too. it wasn't that the controls were bad...EVERYTHING was bad.

ManjiKengo

]]> <![CDATA[Unreal Tournament III 360 Reminds Us We'd Forgotten About It]]> meh the ps3 game was alright I guess, it would have been a great game if other people used the mods, it seemed like I was the only one using mods and I hate hosting games. the game is really meant for pc were people actually USE the mods. I mean they should make it so at the minimum my character mods will work even if the host doesnt have the mod installed-perhaps mandatory mod installs. without the mods what are you left with??? really beaten down gameplay and nerf guns- btw ive never seen a game hated on so much

Molockian

]]> <![CDATA[Unreal Tournament III 360 Reminds Us We'd Forgotten About It]]> I never had the first Xbox, just a Playstation 2, and of the 68 games I own for it only 3 are shooters. Why? Because the analog sticks are brutal and it took me forever just to finish Killzone on easy because of it. At first I thought it was just me not being great at shooters, but then when I got my 360 and just smoked through shooter after shooter I realized it was the controller after all. The 360 was made for shooters, hence the trigger like controller and almost every game (are big one) being a shooter. Unreal Tournament 3 could be great on 360 and might be more successful than the PS3 one ever will be.

For the record, I own a PS3 as well, and when it comes down to it, I buy all games that aren't shooters (GTA, Drake's Fortune, R&C) on the PS3 and any shooter that comes out on 360. That's just how it works.

]]> <![CDATA[Unreal Tournament III 360 Reminds Us We'd Forgotten About It]]> @NessD12: cause the game sucks anyway.

I still play tons of ut2k4 but I have no interest in playing ut3. Yes, I do have it for pc. I've spent a good 6 hours playing it.

]]> <![CDATA[Unreal Tournament III 360 Reminds Us We'd Forgotten About It]]> what a coincidence, i was playing it right now, but the servers just died !!! darn gamespy.

on topic:
Great game, has some minor glitches in the Ps3, but almost all of them were fixed with the 1.10 patch. really fun when using the master chief mod agains a samus army. my 360 friend hasn't forgot about it, he's still waiting for it.

Maverick_FxOne

]]> <![CDATA[Unreal Tournament III 360 Reminds Us We'd Forgotten About It]]> PS3 version looks great in HD. But it looks shit in SD. Which is all I have. So I never play it. The engine used in Call of Duty 4 makes the Unreal Engine look like a 90s throwback. I was so looking forward to Unreal, being a fan of the PC versions from back in the day... but I hardly play it because it hurts my eyes with jaggy edges and tearing in SD.

There are plenty of new map mods out for it though. That's the one decent thing about it... free extra content that is actually pretty good.

Shit graphics engine though. It seems all about the definition and not enough about the soul. It doesn't look like 'human vision' the way CoD4 does. And I can't even customise my control set-up! The defaults are bullshit. UTIII is a massive let-down. 360 owners are not going to be missing much while it isn't available.
