It was recently confirmed by CVG that Unreal Tournament 3 on the PS3 will run at 60 frames per second.
The EU Playstation Network Store has been updated with lots of goodies hot off the Leipzip convention. The update includes:
Games Convention this afternoon Epic Games demonstrated Unreal Tournament III PS3's new SixAxis controls - and they look to work really well.
From PS3fanboy:
In an interview with Gameplayer, Unreal tournament's producer Jeff Morris has confirmed that, there will be a PC demo released a month before, the official launch in November.
Epic is incorporating GameSpy's multiplayer tech into its advanced engine. The partnership pertains only to the PlayStation 3 and PC platforms, and will enable cross-platform play between the two.
Epic VP Mark Rein is feeling the true force of the fanboy and decided to post an official response to their statement about PS3 disks able to hold more data than that of the 360. His post begins as follows:
During a demo of the upcoming Unreal Tournament III at this year's Edinburgh Interactive Festival, Epic VP Mark Rein revealed a few more details about the upcoming PS3 timed exclusive. He confirmed that the team was still planning on a November release, stating that "We don't have an actual exact date, but we've told people that we're aiming for November." Sixaxis functionality for the title was revealed, with Rein stating that you could use it to control both the Redeemer and the Hoverboard. He also spoke about whether the game would feature PC/PS3 cross-platform play.
As with every single other anticipated game, Unreal Tournament 3 will have a Collector's Edition too, for the die hard fans looking for at bit more. The UT3 Collector's Edition will come in a special tin box (much like Gears of War), and include an art book, a bonus DVD with the usual behind the scenes/making of-content. Other than that, there's not much else in the box, besides one gorgeous multiplayer shooter.
During a playable demo of Unreal Tournament III at the Edinburgh Interactive Festival, games-digest.com spotted something very interesting on the game's menu system. It's called Gamercard and it doesn't seem too unlikely a possibility that this will turn out to be a unique player identity system, not entirely dissimilar to the Xbox 360's Gamertag system that manages player stats and achievements.
Midway Games, the leading games developer and publisher of interactive entertainment software for major videogame systems and personal computers, have officially unveiled their Leipzig Game Convention line up for this month.
HMV is offering pre-orders, release date of Haze and UT3 this year
Mark Rein have confirmed today that, the PS3 version of Unreal Tournament 2003 will support keyboard and Mouse. He is confident that it will be balanced and it won't feel gimped.
The PlayStation 3 verison of Unreal Tournament 3 will feature unlimited maps, mods, and skin downloads by using a PC editor and then moving the data to your PS3 through a memory stick.
Epic's Lead Producer Jeff Morris told Kotaku that the mods will be created on a PC and then "cooked" to work better on a PS3 using a built-in option. That file can than be slapped onto a Memory Stick and imported into the PS3 version of the game with the console's built-in MS reader.
