Confusion still surrounds UT III release date

360 News from N4G | Unreal Tournament III

360 - Unreal Tournament III - Confusion still surrounds UT III release date

CVG reports: In the latest round of release date confusion surrounding Epic's Unreal Tournament III, Midway has said the PS3 version has now slipped to early 2008 - but the developer's informing a Christmas 2007 release could still happen.

Midway has announced a Q1 2008 release for UT III on PS3 in a financial report, but in response Epic's Mark Rein stated that as a public company the publisher felt an obligation to its shareholders to let them know about the possibility of a delay.

"Our goal is still to get the PS3 version of UT3 in stores before the end of 2007", Rein said in a post on Epic forums, but added, "However, we will only ship it once it's ready and is the best game we can deliver."
Rein went on to explain that UT III on PS3 will now feature the same map set as the PC version. Previously, the console version was to have fewer levels.

Speaking further, he said that PC UT III is "still on track for November", and that there'll be a demo released before the full game ships.

An Xbox 360 version of Unreal Tournament III is expected some time in 2008.

Epic Confirms No Unreal Tournament 3 PC-to-PS3 Online; Other UT3 Details Shared

360 News from N4G | Unreal Tournament III

360 - Unreal Tournament III - Epic Confirms No Unreal Tournament 3 PC-to-PS3 Online; Other UT3 Details Shared

Much ado has been made about the potential presence of cross-platform play in Epic Games' upcoming multiplayer-heavy shooter Unreal Tournament 3 (PC, PS3, X360). The most likely compatible platforms have been PC and PlayStation 3, as the Xbox 360 version has taken a development backseat and the PS3's approach to network architecture is more conducive to the kind of freedom Epic would want for such a service. PS3, unlike Xbox 360, also supports mouse and keyboard controls, which would allow for a more potentially level playing field between users of the two platforms.

Still, in an IRC chat conducted yesterday featuring numerous members of Epic's UT3 team, Epic VP Mark Rein finally confirmed that the game will not feature cross-platform multiplayer -- at least at launch.

CliffyB on keeping Unreal Engine fresh

360 News | Unreal Tournament III

Sept 19, 2007 BioShock, Mass Effect, Stranglehold... it seems everyone is using Epic's developer-adored Unreal Engine 3 - but how long before the Gears of War engine starts to look a bit dated? Not any time soon, according to Gears overlord Cliff Bleszinski: "A lot of that comes down to the art department and what their style is, right?" The finely-groomed designer said. "There's plenty of other ways that people can make an Unreal Engine 3 game look unique and cool. They're only limited by ...

Unreal Tournament 3's November release not...

360 News | Unreal Tournament III

Sept 11, 2007 Unreal Tournament 3 was given a November 2007 release on PC and PS3 at this year's E3 but now Epic says that's not guaranteed. Essentially, the developer won't ship the game until it's happy with it. "We do not know exactly when the game will be completed. 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," is the bombshell dropped by Epic's Mark Rein on the developer's ...
