...I can promise you that the PC version will sell more than the PS3 version, so how does a delay f said game(that hasn't been announced yet) equate to the doom of the PS3?

Seperate teams? Uh, not from what I've heard - why do you think we've only seen the PS3/PC versions up until now. Like Mark has stated before, they don't have infinite resources at Epic... and their team is small in size when compared to some of the larger studios.

Who knows when the 360 version will come out, but I personally wouldn't put much hope into seeing it before mid 2008. We'll see though.

Actually they have showed the 360 version of Unreal III in the official Xbox mag. and Epic employees said it played as well as the p.c. version.

Nothing in here but pure unfounded speculation. Fact: both the PS3 and PC versions will be releasing this November, with an Xbox 360 version following in 2008. There has been no talk of a delay.

The key in your statement is IF

and I thought the game was already dated for a November 19th release

you were really expecting ut3 to save the ps3? thats a pc game. it's not a console seller. the ps3 version is for people that already own a ps3. anyone that really cares about ut3 is getting it for the pc. console versions will be impulse buys. with the lack of competition on the ps3 it would be one of the systems best sellers, but that same lack of competition will keep it from selling systems.

I'd believe that if I saw it - yet, there's nothing online anywhere. I don't care either way, but I don't think the 360 version is any state to be shown, or it would have been already.

Mark did mention the possibility of a date other than November, but I really doubt it - and I think he's just playing it safe as he always kinda does. Why do I think that? Well... the website for one.

And I don't imagine they'd be keen on losing out on the holiday shopping season.

It would help if you actually provided one. Don't just *assume* we know what you're talking about. :| Anyway, as you say, it's possible, but definitely not official. We just have to wait and see.

No, I don't think the 360 version is in a playable state - does it matter, no. I just think the past announcement from Epic concerning the 360s storage medium issues, considering the game will likely weight in at 15-20Gb... and this game would not be well suited for multiple disks. They mentioned that and the closed network of the 360 being issues they'll have to address, which leads me to think the 360s UT3 isn't that far along.

I just think they would have shown it by now if it was indeed in any form to be shown.

its a shooter. going against halo3 head to head on the 360 would kill epics sales. but if you move the game back to the post christmas drought time that happens every year it'll be the best/most hyped/ new game out and will increase sales. thats what has been done. it's called marketing. the 360 version is just to sell more software, not to sell hardware. anyone seriouse about ut3 and is really looking forward to it is getting the pc version with the unreal editor 3 included. i'm getting halo3 for my 360, but i'm getting ut3 for my pc. console versions of ut3 are for people that have never played ut on the pc and just dont know. and no unreal championship is not unreal tournament, it's not even close.

The PS3 version of UT3 looks freaking fantastic, except for the PCs obviously framerate advantages... there's little difference. And I will be getting the PC version aswell, mainly for the Unreal Editor.

you are going to see huge differences. the average pc has a gig of ram more systems memory and 512 vid ram on the graphics card. the consoles only have 512 megs total, and the ps3 with its dedicted memory and 80 meg systems usage impares it even more. most mods and maps are going to be made based on pc limits, and will far exceed console limits. the console versions will crash or have very short draw distances meaning that in console vs pc matches you are going to get sniped by someone you cant even see. and when you get into a match with alot of players you are gonna lag badly. even if you can see them you are gonna actually be seeing where they were a second or two ago. it'll be like trying to play on dial up.

Do you really believe that UT 3 would be the savior of the PS3? If that is the case, then the PS3 is in big trouble. Relying on a 3rd party game to save your system is virtual suicide and says little about your in house dev teams!!! If the PS3 is to have a productive 2007 holiday season it will be because of Uncharted, HAZE, Heavenly Sword, Warhawk, Folklore and Ratchet and Clank. That being said, it is quite obvious that the PS3 simply doesn't have a game to go toe to toe with the like of Halo 3, Mass Effect, SMG and SSBB!!! UT 3 was simply going to be some nice fluff for the PS3 but a system seller it is not!!!

Another thing that PS3 fans should keep filed in the backs of their minds is that EPIC wont ever admit it, but them delaying UT 3 on 360 has less to do with them "focusing on PS/PC versions" and more on the fact that EPIC doesnt want their prized franchise going up against Halo 3 on the 360. So bringing UT 3 to the 360 in the Spring/Summer of 2008 allows them to have the spotlight to themselves!!! I for one am glad because I would have no time for UT 3 this Fall with games like Halo 3, Mass Effect and CoD 4 in my possesion!!
