Lets face it, Epic is the one that put 360 on the map and made it popular with Gears of war. The question is, can Epic pull it off yet again but this time with the PS3 and Unreal Tournament 3. My guess is Yes!! Things will just get better from here and if Unreal tournament is cross platform play and with Keboard/mouse support. Unreal will be the "Gears" for the PS3 and sell LOTS of systems quote me!!

Epic also has a secret exclusive they're making for PS3, that they claim is on the same tier as Gears of War in terms of ambitiousness and awesome. We shall see.

I think its more likely Halo 3 will overshadow UT3. Hate it or love it, the hype, marketing and presales do not lie.

The 360 was already on the map before Gears of War came along. Unreal Tournament has never been a genre defining game so I don't see how it will do anything for the PS3 other than to give its game-starved owners a shooter worth playing.

Sony doesn't need one franchise to sell systems..

Thats what people don't understand.

Who cares about attach rate, Sony has alot of franchises that sell systems. Gran Turismo, Metal Gear Solid and Final Fantasy all sell systems.

I would venture to say NO, not just because I'm trying to be a fanboy but because at the time that Gears was released you could only play it on the 360 and the PC version was just a rumor. The fact is that UT3 is known to be coming to the PC and the 360 so the impact won't be as great. Oh and that little thing that keeps holding the POS 3 back price.

If UT3 was exclusive to the PS3 then it would definitely help the PS3. Since the game is coming out for the PC and 360 I doubt it will do that much for the PS3 even though the PS3 is getting a better version than the 360.

The ONLY place Halo 3 will have a chance to overshadow UT3 is on the 360. UT is a huge thing on the PC, and on PS3, there is no Halo. So overall, it will be UT3 that does the overshadowing.

UT3 will suck for consoles.

It's too fast paced for analog controls and was designed w/ a mouse and keyboard in mind.

Gears worked b/c it was designed for a console, not the other way around.

You do realize that the PS3 version of UT3 has keyboard/mouse support right? So with the way you think, UT3 will only suck on the 360.

Umm I own a PC "exclusively", save a PS2,and I completely disagree with this. Even though I will play UT3 a year+ before Halo 3, it doesn't matter because Halo 3 will sell more, and anyone denying this should never invest in stocks as you aren't objective enough. UT3 will be a success though, don't get me wrong:)

Disclaimer, IMO Valve>Epic so I may be slightly biased on the PC front.

nope Gears was a MEGa mega hit that really put the 360 on the map.

that game is entwined with the 360 brand now as much as metal gear solid is for the playstation. i think of gears i think maaaaaaaaaad world and the 360 logo.

in london, there was a newspaper that i remember buyingand on each frickin page there was a 360 advert and most of them had the gears insignia on it.

I think UT is more a PC franchise. It has always been a little "too much" for most of my friends as well. The game just fits better with the somewhat hardcore FPS PC fans. (Which means I will be buying it for my PC, I can't wait for it to come out)

UT3 is going to be awesome and I'm confident that the PS3 version is going to be better than the 360 version (it's out earlier, has mods, and KB/M support.) However UT3 is not going to do for the PS3 what GeOW did for the 360. For a start the PC version is better, and 360 owners can get the game at a later date anyway. Epic would have to make a new exclusive IP for Sony for hem to put the PS3 on the map in the same way that they did the 360.

A PC that can out preform a PS3 is not the mythical object you are trying to make it out to be...My PC can and it almost 2 years old.

Gears of War was an exclusive title for a while. Unreal Tournament III is multiplat from the get-go, so not a chance.

The thing is Gears of war was a xbox 360 exclusive. UT3 is coming out for pc to which means it is not an exclusive. Gears also had a massive campaign for it. PC version will be the best anyways.

Gears kept the thrown 360 seat warm till Halo 3 got here. Ps3 doesn't ahve one yet unless well you could say Resistance is watching PS3's thrown seat.

Funny... cuz 360 already set itself apart within its first year without Gears. Things like the revolutionary dashboard was the first seen on a console, achievements, massive reworking of Xbox Live, media streaming. Without any competition, there was plenty of buzz with 360. Gamewise, graphics showcases like Oblivion and Fight Nights Round 3 and GRAW were out within 6 months from console launch.

What Gears did for 360 was provide a blockbuster title in time for the 06 holiday.

UT3 will be great, but I don't think it'll have the same impact Gears of War did. Gears had a whole year of exclusivity on the 360.

gears didn't come out untill the 360 had alreay been out a year. the 360 had alot of million selling titles before then, cod2 and oblivion were just two. how did gears sell over 5 million copies? the 360 already had a large install base. it was already on the map. epic is a great developer, but they dont get credit for what was already done before they got there. but for the sake of argument lest pretend you were right.

there wasn't a superior version of gears on a competing platform. it was an exclusive. the better version of ut3 will be on windows. the ps3 dosn't have an exclusive. the inferior version of ut3 will be going head to head with an exclusive 360 mega hit, halo3. ut3 will be overshadowed, even the superior windows version. look at the gamespot home page. at the bottom they rank games based on current intrest. ut3 isn't on the top ten list. go to the ps3 page and click on u in the games search area. then click on ut3. look on the left side of the page. the ps3 version of ut3 is currently ranked #667 and falling. the pc version is ranked 323. halo3 is ranked #3, behind only the 2 microsoft exclusive versions of bioshock. there is nothing that can help sony. they "just waited" too long, and now the flood of AAA 360 titles are starting to flood the market.

i heard this was just a rumour.

It's just a rumour....apparently Sony is also going to pay Epic games a lot of money to make the Unreal 3.0 engine work as well on the ps3 as it does on the 360( since PS is harder to program, the engine doesn't work too good on it). It is all rumours though. Even if it does happen I would not count on a PS exclusive, they will probably come out with one for the PC and Unreal 3 is coming out for the 360 eventually, so it is really not a console exclusive to sony.
