Everyone is saying the graphics kind of blow and it's not that great.

You guys want to know why becuase they built it with PS3 in mind Then built it with 360 in mind and it has ruined a what should be a PC only game.

UT3 hasn't been reviewed yet.

But you are correct that if it had of been developed solely for one system, it'd probably have turned out better. I still think it will fun though.

You can't base the graphics off of most PC demos as they limit what you can set them at. Most games only allow you to go as high as medium in the settings.

The demo was okay. But there was something missing from the experience. Something I couldn't put my finger on.

Gamespot said that the last three texture options were exactly the same. So what does that prove? hmm...

It ain't just the graphics. People have been saying that weapons switch too slow.Another problempeople have been complaining aboutis thatthe shock core is a lot smaller in UT3 than it is in UT2k4 making it harder to hit.

the hi res textures have being left out for a small file size (only around 700mb, half of cod4's and has 3 mp maps instead of COD4's 1 mission) and the demo was named a BETA DEMO for a reason. It still looked very nice on the highest settings available in the demo on my 7600GT with decent frames (30fps on 1280 x 1024)

demo wasn't too impressive imo - not much has changed in any meaningful way.

also, the fact there's no AA, and no 'real' widescreen.. it's a vert+ hack like in Bioshock, total kick in the pants for consumers with WS monitors.

The graphics don't "blow" I just don't know if they are as good as all the pics I've seen. Makes me think it's just because it's a demo and not a full retail game. I probably won't get this game though....the MP is just way too nuts. People twitchin around all over the place, it's complete insanity.

It's pretty funny in multiplayer when like four people have them and they're all running towards each other and firing.

If there's one thing I hate in UT, it's superweapons and people who play only Onslaught on noob oriented servers.

But, I guess Epic has to make money.

Moved away from the hitscan weaponry, movement speed is much faster however jumpdodge and even manueverability feels more "restricted". Questionable servers (Yes dedicated along) and the ugly white and red color menu.

UT3 is definitely going to seperate the hardcore 04 players from the newer audience along with07's target audience that preferred 99.

UT3 feels...different. I don't agree with most changes but I'm enjoying it enough to warrent a purchase. No UT has lived up to the original IMO.

At least it's well optimised. The only game I feel consoles really ruined was Deus Ex 2. Doubed down and poorly optimised.

UT3 has flopped for me for a reason..... I am SICK AND TIRED of deathmatch.... team deathmatch.... CTF..... so on so forth.... they need to come up with some new stuff.. cause that crap is just boring now. Objective based game play rocks and keeps people playing as a Team, I think every game should benefit from Objective based game play. I think its part of what makes TF2 so much fun.

Well somepeople prefer the oldschool, love the oldschool and live the oldschool. "Crap" like deathmatch or teamdeathmatchesisstill way more popular in the competitive market in comparison to objective based games.

You are hilarious. It's a beta demo of 700mb. It's not out to show off the games visuals or gameplay. It's so they can get a wide range of PC specs from potential customers and get the bug fixes out before the games launch next month. You sir, should read into things more before saying it "flopped". Whatever FPS game(s) you play is/are probably based on the UT franchise from a long time ago. Even that pathetic excuse for a FPS people call Halo is only good because it eventually derived from UT.

If sarcasm then = Tribes was actually the game that strayed away from the deathmatch,ctf forumla with modes such as "defend and destroy" and "find and retrieve".Unreal tournament was released in 99 (Hence why people call it 99) and Tribes was released in 98.

Wow took you that long to find something. I didn't care about the exact timeline of releases of games. I knew certain games like tribes were release in the same point in time My point is still valid to the person I was directing to.

UT3 is definitely going to seperate the hardcore 04 players from the newer audience along with07's target audience that preferred 99.Haee

It certainly isn't going to in my case. I enjoyed UT2004 more than UT99, but for some reason I love UT3 more than UT2004 from what I've played of it.

I have seen a minor split on the community, but most of the people I've been playing with from the UT2004 community love UT3. Most of the people not making the jump just refuse to adapt (much like was seen in the UT99-->UT2003/2004 jump)

After playing through the demo I have to say it feels just like every other UT game. However, thats all some people want.

Personally, after playing it, I no longer feel the need to own it.

I'm not sure what you were expecting..

It seems to me you should've realised it's a UT game from the title :|

Didn't you feel Halo 3 was just another Halo game? Did you complain about that too?
