It seems to be a very big day for Epic today. On top of the
Square-Enix news, our sources on the inside have confirmed that
Unreal Tournament is coming to the Xbox 360. We have been hearing rumors for months now about this but we can now say without a shadow of a doubt that it is going to come out on the 360. There is also a strong possibility that the game will be released by Christmas this year. From what our little birdy tells us, the game will also get a name change to
Unreal Tournament 3.
After seeing the amazing success with Gears of War (it broke the Japanese top 10 even), it's not too surprising to see it coming for the 360.
What are your thoughts on this? It seems like another major blow to PS3 to me.

I'm sure by the time the game is ready to hit retail, those PS3/Unreal 3 problems will be ironed out, but if I were a betting man I'd say it hits the 360 and PC first. Either way, it looks sweet and I want it now.
I simply can't understand why would anyone play a twitch FPS game with a controller. Oh, and you don't get the custom mods on the console too, the mods being one of the best things about, say, UT2004.
As far as the game goes, I never got into Unreal. This doesn't do anything for me.
Didn't the last 2 Unreals use the 2nd engine, and were basically the same just different years? So it was basically the 2nd unreal tournament? So This would be the third true tournament on a new engine, I guess.
After this they can star using 2K whatever again until they have Unreal Tournament 4 on the 4th unreal engine. I think their doing what GTA did. GTA3 then like Vice City and San Andreas now GTA4, Unreal2K3 then Unreal 2K4 now Unreal Tournament 3. Dunno just a guess.
at least im glad i'll have a shiny new game to play on my 360
- Unreal 1 and 2 were based off of Unreal Engine 1 and 2 respectively, this next game follows in that tradition
- Unreal Tournament was always light on the story, and about multiplayer only with the single player basically a practice mode playing against bots. This game actually has a single player campaign! There isnt even a tournament taking place (anymore)
I think they went with the name "Unreal Tourmament" because it was a lot more popular than the "Unreal" series. Also because of story reasons.
Unreal Tournament 2k# series
Unreal Tournament 3
Now stfuajptg (shut the fuck up and just play the game)
They are refering to the Unreal Tournament series that have appeared in XBOX. Ut in PC is a different beast.
Unreal Tournament
Unreal Championship= Unreal Tournament 2
--->
Unreal Tournament 3
Makes sense now?
Besides, you know is the same game, only the name changes.
