Aww Unreal 3 Engine running better on the PS3 what a suprise!

So that nobody misses the article here it is!

One of the biggest announcements of E3 was the fact that Epic would be releasing Unreal Tournament 3 exclusively for the PS3 and PC this year. And thanks to a GameSpot interview with Epic's Mark Rein, we know a great deal more about the development process, and exactly what we can expect.

Rein was first asked how things were progressing, and why the team selected the PS3 as its chosen console exclusive. He replied that they were "really excited about being able to tap the power" of the PS3, and made a comparison to 2006's amazing Gears of War for the Xbox 360. Rein said that UT 3 is actually running better on the PS3 this year than Gears was on the 360 last year! And considering how great the latter turned out, we're even more excited for UT 3!

Rein also spoke about the "openness" of the PlayStation Network, and why it was ideal for user-created mods. Furthermore, this will go far beyond creating a level or two; you could actually take the Unreal tools, develop a whole game on your PC, and transport them over to the PS3. As he said, "the sky's the limit; users can create their own complete games." And of course, simply because it's Unreal Tournament, there will be a whole lot of downloadable content, and much of it will be free.

Lastly, it appears the motion sensing capabilities of the Sixaxis will make an appearance in the game as well; Rein details a section of the multiplayer action that uses a hoverboard. Yep, you use the Sixaxis to control that hoverboard, and he calls it "brilliant." As for UT 3 on the 360, he did confirm it would arrive "eventually" next year.

If you're not excited for Unreal Tournament 3 by now, you simply don't like games.

Of course it should run better.

Never played Unreal Tournment

A year of updating the engine and it's actually running better?! I'm shocked! :roll:

If the PS3 version of UT3 runs better than the eventual 360 version, THAT will be news.

I wonder if it runs $200 better or a year late better?

"Rein said that UT 3 is actually running better on the PS3 this year than Gears was on the 360 last year!"

This would be interesting...if it was still "last year" for the 360.

Old news, and you realise that when this comment was made, Gears wasn't running on Epics multi-threaded gemini engine at that time last year.

But fanboys will ignore the details...

"Rein said that UT 3 is actually running better on the PS3 this year than Gears was on the 360 last year!"

This would be interesting...if it was still "last year" for the 360.

Exactly, also- does he expect rein to say "Actually we've found the 360 runs UE3 better and the PS3 is struggling with UT3. But please still buy my game"

One thing I'd like to say, well two.

Gears is an exclusive title backed by MS themselves and developed by the creators of the engine *unlike Silicon Knights, lol amirite? Joking :P* so getting it to run better with more things going on at once and most likely larger environments, isn't something that should just be laughed out - especially considering it's a multiplatform game that wasn't sculpted solely for the PS3 and with the PS3's track record with those.

But at the same time, the game is coming out a year later but is also Epic's posterchild, their baby basically so it's no surprise they would want for it to perform better than Gears and given the gameplay it's almost necessary.

So people don't have to be mega-positive and read into the statement too much, but at the same time others shouldn't feel the need to downplay it... That's just my take on it all. o:

I think everyone is missing the point that Unreal Tournament is probably gonna suck for all consoles, the action is WAY too crazy and fast pace for something like a controller pad. Honestly, keyboard and mouse = must for Unreal.FlawlessSeasons

Not really - Heck, I remember playing UT back on the Dreamcast back in the days, it only had 4v4 but it was a blast. I think it'll control just fine on the SixAxis once you get used to it - but, you can also use the KB/M on the PS2 version from what Epic has said.

This game was demonstrated at back when PS3 was first debuted. Epic was their showing what the console was capable of, they panned the Camera around and froze the gameplay and such. If anything this game started development on the PS3/PC - so I wouldn't consider this a port. Also, you've gotta factor in that Sony has its own Engineers over in North Carolina working with Epic getting the engine running optimally on the PS3 - So the PS3 version should be outstanding.

They can use motion tilt in the PS3 version ans put plenty content on the Blu_ray

That's true, I remember seeing that video for the first time.

E32005, I was only 14. o: Either way, it's nice to know that UE3 is being optimized for the PS3 further than what it was already, I forgot about that announcement from E3.

Quick question, they making a PS3 exclusive game or not? I can't remember if that was part of the agreement. :lol:

So the engine is running better almost a year later then when it is being compared to? Is this surprising news?

If this was meant to mean that the PS3 version will be superior to the 360 version.......FAIL.

Heh - I have no idea, it hasn't been announced if they are. All I care about if that they get UT3 out for November. :)

Aaaaah look at all u guys now. At first you were all crying GoW looks better then any PS3 game, xbox owns PS3 graphics, laalla you've been whining that stuff since GoW got released. And saying PS3 can't do UT3 engine, it will never look as good.

And yeah this is old news none the less i wanted to rubb in your faces. But not only that you guys are now admitting it. Wtf are u fanboys doing? At first PS3 couldn't beat the 360 and now ur admitting it as if you knew it back then. Seriously i can't follow you guys. All just brainwashed...

This is really old news.inertk

GoW2 best on PS3.Limbutus
