They also never gave a confirmed release date for the PS3 version. They gave an assumption.
Epic is a great dev. and as a great dev. they will not ship a mediocre product.
[QUOTE="arturo_ko"]So is it coming out this year or not?Krigon
They will try to ship it this year.
Well Mark Rein said they will try to ship it this year and that the pc version is still on course for a november release.
This leads me to believe ut3(ps3) is not on course for a november release, so if it is behind it would only have to be a week or two behind to hit production and be out for mid december.
This sucks but i'd put i bet on UT3 being delayed till 08 for ps3, Epic will not ship it untill its ready in their opinion.
If this doe's happen sony are going to be pi***** as i very much doubt they will give 08 exclusive to sony and release the 360 version in 09, infact thats just not going to happen.
I would assume it will still be the same time frame between versions, Epic is not a huge development team so i'm assuming they will not finish the 360 version untill the ps3 version has shipped as all resources will be on the ps3 version once the pc version has shipped.
Oh well its not the end of the world, one lees game to buy this year one more great game for early next year.
Yes, there is a chance it will come out in December.
In addition there is some good news as well. A little extra time in development means that now the PS3 version will have all of the same maps as the PC version which wasn't previously expected to be the case.
You can find it HERE by scrolling down a ways.
The guy that posted that lived in Europe, and as such the date of his post is reversed. It was posted February 10th, not October 2nd.
Sorry, I'm gonna trust the gamespot one.

Brendan Sinclair from GameSpot or Mark Rein from EPIC, I thought that's an easy pick
[QUOTE="SizeMatterzz"]I want th facts, delayed or not?lhbchen
a very likely YES, Mark Rein says there's a chance it's delayed one month and released at December
YES ITS DELAYED OR YES ITS NOT DELAYED!!!??? what facts not rumors!
Midway the publisher annouced that their fiscal earnings will be without UT3 this year.
EPIC say they can make it. If Epic does make it, It will all depend on who has the last call on when it comes out.
I'm sure Midway made that statement based on Epic's feedback on the develeopment of the game. Given their (Midway) experience with delays, probably thats why they arent too optimistic about the release date.

Yes it's delayed.
No it's not delayed.
I thought we've all made it clear on the grammar course.
Even Mark Rein, the developer himself from EPIC can't give you a confirmed release date. So there're no so-call "facts" here. And the chance of its delay to December or later is high.

Nutshell... fact:
Midway (publisher) : UT next year!
Epic (developer) : We are TRYING to get it done this year.
PS to lhbchen: Don't blame brian sinclair on the news, he's just reporting on a annoucement made by Midway. Almost every major website has the news.
There was and is no delay becuase Epic doesnt delay things, they release when its rdy as theyve always said so there is no delaying they can do as its always out on time.teebeenz
As long as the game is out later than it was initially intended for, it is considered a delay....no matter how you put it. Your argument is just a lame statement frequently used by developers, most noticeably 3DRealms, for their decade long playboy hero franchise.
As long as the game is out later than it was initially intended for, it is considered a delayjhcho2Its intended to be out when its finished, and when its finished itll be out. Epic is one of a select group of devs who are allowed to do this by their publishers. Most dates are based on estimates from the publisher, but you wont see the game out till its finished even then. There are no delays, just poor estimates. If you're stupid enough to use dates as your example then you can stew in it.
Goto the forums on the website, go to UT3 boards, and there'll be a sticky of it. I'll post the link in a min.the post in the forum is gone.
Does that mean they took it off?!

Hopefully Epic will ship it in time for Christmas because this is one of the games I'm getting for the holiday season. Also, Epic should release it along the PC version anyways so that the PS3 can gain a lot of sales this holiday season if they really want to boost their fanbase.
