Why are PS3 games always late?

PS3 Feature | Unreal Tournament III

22nd Nov, 2007 Oh PS3, you really must work on this tardiness. Youre a strong student with a lot of brains, and you can produce good work when you put your mind to it, but with this persistent lateness youre not only letting us down, but youre letting yourself down too. We know youve only just joined us and that youve had to take some time to settle in, but youre really going to have to start applying yourself from now on. Nagging teacher-speak aside, just what is it with PS3 release ... » Read More

The Epic tradition

PS3 Feature | Unreal Tournament III

Oct 26, 2007 Inside an office in sunny Raleigh, North Carolina, Epic vice president Mark Rein settles back into a comfy seat. "It all started way back in the stone age," he begins. "You know, Tim Sweeney started the company in his parents' basement in Maryland." Today Epic is out of the basement and has the two monster-sized games Unreal Tournament 3 and Gears of War (PC) in development. Outside of Mark's office, staff members play on the Epic basketball court, others help themselves to a ... » Read More

Unreal Tournament 3 - interview

PS3 Feature | Unreal Tournament III

Epic's Unreal Tournament games have always been well populated with playable characters attached to teams/factions within the universe, and the likes of Malcolm have become icons for the series. The latest, Unreal Tournament III, is no different with six teams and potentially 24 characters lining up to be "possessed" by players when it launches in November. But what inspires the game's character designs? What does Unreal Engine 3.0 mean to Epic's character artists and will we truly be able to ... » Read More

Sony Press Conference Lowdown

PS3 Feature | Unreal Tournament III

Sony's annual E3 press conference opened with what could have been the biggest reveal of the entire show if it hadn't been leaked last week: the new $499 price of the PS3, as well as the introduction of a new $599 model that comes with an 80GB hard drive and a copy of online-enabled dirt racer Motorstorm. This left biggy-wig Jack Tretton (who began the event speaking through his character in the PS3 virtual world Home) to launch right into the publisher's game-centric, four-part ... » Read More

Interview with Cliffy B

PS3 Feature | Unreal Tournament III

Cliff "Gears of War" Bleszinski has been blasted into the videogame stardom spotlight after the huge success of his flagship 360 shooter and now has his sights set on the future (surely working on Gears 2). We recently managed to snatch a few moments with gaming's best-groomed designer at the Game Developers Conference, where he nabbed three awards including best game for Gears and took to the podium to tell a gushing audience just how he thought up the UE3 chainsaw madness. In our chat Mr. B ... » Read More

"PC mod scene... already in trouble"

PS3 Feature | Unreal Tournament III

In the wake of the recent revelation from Epic's Mark Rein that the developer is planning to bring Unreal Tournament modifications to Unreal Tournament 3 on PS3 and Xbox 360 and our feature looking at the impact of this, Red Orchestra developer Tripwire dropped us a line offering to comment on mods heading to console. Tripwire is a developer that knows a thing or two about game modifications. It created Red Orchestra originally as a mod - or total conversion - based on Epic's Unreal Engine ... » Read More

Can UT console mods ever work?

PS3 Feature | Unreal Tournament III

Is the PC taking another bullet to the chest as a feature that was unique to the platform is now spreading to console? Epic Games vice president Mark Rein dropped an interesting little bombshell the other day concerning Unreal Tournament 3 and modifications, game reworks - and often labors of love - developed by third-parties and bedroom coders that have kept PC titles alive for years after ... » Read More

Unreal Tournament 3 - interview

PS3 Feature | Unreal Tournament III

Ultra-realistic tactical shooters may have taken center-stage in recent years, but Unreal Tournament 3 proves there's still demand for brutal, flag snatching deathmatch amongst PC gamers, and with Epic Games' strengthened investment in console versions - no doubt fuelled by a certain 360 shooter that recently found success - rocket-flinging frag fests may become king of the couch again as well. Last week we sat down with UT3 producer and all-round good guy Jeff Morris to chat-up the ... » Read More

In the concluding part of our special look at some of Unreal Tournament 2007's sci-fi influenced vehicles of mass destruction (here's part one if you missed it), the game's producer, Jeff Morris, gives us the insider lowdown on a selection of the new and updated craft that gamers will be able to take charge of in UT 2007. Necris Darkwalker "For the Necris' main battle tank - its main slugger - we wanted some tank elements but we wanted it to be very difficult to recognize as a tank. So we ... » Read More

PS3 Feature | Unreal Tournament III

We recently had the good fortune to sit down with Unreal Tournament 2007 producer Jeff Morris to chat about developer Epic's upcoming sci-fi shooter, which is planned for a release on PC and PS3 in the first half of next year. Besides showing us the game, Morris talked at length - and with genuine enthusiasm - about many of the game's vehicles. So, direct from the mouth of Morris (and it's a mouth that works at a frighteningly rapid rate), here's an insider's overview of some of the mobile ... » Read More

Pre-E3 blowout day four: PS3

PS3 Feature | Unreal Tournament III

We can't wait Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots This is it. The one game everyone wants to see. The PlayStation 3 hardware and Nintendo's Wii might take center stage this year, but Solid Snake's the real headliner, lurking just behind the curtain as he always does. And from what our colleagues who've been sworn to secrecy tell us, the surprises he's going to hit us with will completely blow our jaded gamer brains ... » Read More
