Unreal Tournament III: Why Q2 08?

Yeah, I was thinking we may get extra exclusive content because it's Microsoft and the xbox and everything. who knows.

As others have said, Epic wants an open ended network to allow for mods, and while the PSN allows for this, XBL does not, not to mention keyboard and mouse support for the PS3 version. It's very understandable why Epic would put it on the PS3 first. They are allowed to create more of the experience that they want to make, and on the 360, they don't yet know if they will be able to give mod support.

In regards to the Q2 08 release, the last interview by Mark Rein I read didn't allude to a release date, except to say it's coming, so I wouldn't count on the Q2 date just yet.

Theres no way it's going to be Q2 since last month Mark Rein said they haven't even started on it yet.angelfly

That is complete BS,OXM have played on the 360 version and im sure i have read other gaming sites have seen the 360 version...

Now as we've said, the game is being released on the PC next week, and the PS3 later this year. But once and for all, will the game ever be out on the 360?

Mark Rein: Oh yeah, absolutely. Part of the reason for this is the Mods. The PS3 is an open system, and they embrace user-created content. But there isn't really a way to do that on the 360. So our job, when we finish the PS3 version, and we've taken a little break, is to sit down with Microsoft and to figure out how we can do Mods on their system.

So do you know when the 360 one might be out?

Mark Rein: No. We won't even start working on it until early next year.

Yup, I pre-ordered my copy. I love that Sony is allowing an open network for user-created mods. I have the PC version, but the community is very dead, which is odd for UT. I hope more PS3 gamers will get into it, since there's not anything on the PS3 like it.

Yeah, I'm thinking about buying this and reserving a copy of UT3 for the PS3!
