The partnership pertains only to the PlayStation 3 and PC platforms, and will enable cross-platform play between the two.

As the Kool-aid man would say.

OH YEAAAAH!!

I find it funny that the link is to the xbox360's IGN... And that Microsoft can't even cross-platform their own 2 platforms together (Assuming it's true)

no, now that it has cross platform multiplayer with the pc the ps3 version WILL have to use the keyboard and mouse support. Or else pc gamers will have a realy big advantage, pc gamers paid more to play the game tough.

yep the ps3 will have crossplatform and mods and more maps in its disc than the xbox 360 version. this is a great victory for the ps3 showing that developers are working hard on the ps3 and that BLUERAY was and is a good choice.

thats because MS wants all games that cross platform to be part of the GFW campaign, which Epic is vocally against. MS's loss... UTIII will destroy the FPS genre.

That is unless they go the way of Shadowrun with it (and lets all pray they don't!)

UT III will be more of the same.
I got sick of UT with 2004. Unreal Tournament IMO, has always been a huge graphical showcase and nothing more. I'd rather see Team Fortress Classic released with better graphics.

Well nobody forces you to get a keyboard. All you have to do is filter to games that only allow controller based users only.

It won't happen it's not possible. The only reason Shadowrun (actually love this game) works cross-platform, is throw LIVE on pc, 360. As we all know you Epic doesn't want you to pay to play online on the pc, therefore i don't see ithappening.

VERY COOL. Imagine the comp you'll need to run the game at full detail, we PS3 gamers get to run the beast great for only 500 bucks! Heh, I was so surprised to see positive news about the PS3 for once I thought this was obviously fake.

Yea Mark Rein or someone from Epic said that they would have that feature so that controller people who don't want to play with keyboard people can play in Controller only rooms. Some have a mix of both and some Kb/M only.

Every week this game just keeps on getting better and better. Epic is pulling out all the stops for this game. First PC mods can be used. Then Keyboard and Mouse is confirmed. Now, cross platform play? I am so glad that I decided to pre-order this game. I loved playing Unreal Tournament back in the day. I'm glad that I will be able to play it again this November.

UT was always meant to be played with a KB+M anyways. and if WongB is correct... you can filter out your search so that you can join games with people only using controllers.

You can choose the players using KB/M or controller. Link Below.

If you have a good PC, I think you should get it for PC. UT will always be a PC-first type game. This will own on PS3 though, because I love UT and don't have the money to upgrade my computer:) I CANNOT WAIT FOR THIS GAME. Officially my most wanted game for the year.

That will split the online community.The few Ps3 owners that want to use a mouse will more than likely be blocked from playing with controller users. Doesn't make much sense...

Mark Rein has stated several times that they are not sure about the cross platform as yet. I know a lot of Pc gamers don't want it so i don't see it happening.

They can play keyboard only ppl or computer people or mixed rooms... did you read what he said?
