Quantcast



PlayStation 3 owners, here's your chance to spit in the direction of Xbox 360 gamers -- Midway has confirmed that Unreal Tournament 3 for the PlayStation 3 will be shipping to retailers on December 10. 

This had been previously confirmed by Epic's Vice President Mark Rein, who had revealed that the game had gone gold. Of course, up until now, Epic had been saying the game was shaping up for a 2007 release, and Midway was solid in their "early 2008" position. Provided Midway can get their marketing into shape in time, they could definitely have a winner on their hands, despite the late-holiday launch. 

I've spent time with both the PC and PlayStation 3 versions of the game, and I was pretty happy with the way the game performed on Sony console. I'll likely be playing it on the PS3 later this year -- will any of you be joining me?

UT3 has been pretty fun so far, but I have a feeling its gunna end up Quake 4 style dead for online play.

I'm so suprised epic actually agreed with midway for the PS3 first deal, but they did have it set out for a pretty long time.

Meh, hopefully it gets to 360 soon, cause' i love me some UT.

Now they can get to work on the 360 version. As they should.

I've been pretty hard on the ps3 crowd in the past, but I'm rooting for you guys this time. Might I suggest threats of death if the PSN server crashes constantly for the first few days after release?

I don't know, I'm trying to decide whether to get this for the PC or PS3, seeing as my PC is already a Crysis-grade machine. I have been waiting for a decent multiplayer game for my PS3 though. Does the PS3 version support mods?

Yes, the PS3 version supports mods. Also check out Warhawk if you want a multiplayer game. Its great.

I wonder if I can combine my reservation for GTA IV and Haze and get this on the cheep..... Heck, maybe even trade in Assasians Creed and get it for only 40$ (that's a joke about the worth of AC btw...)

That's all UT has ever been. DM's. Where've you been?

Fuck you all. I hate you. I want my Mac version or 360 version.

Bastards.

Nah, I’ve got a backlog of PS3 games to get through: I haven’t beaten Ratchet & Clank Future or GH III, I’m still playing Warhawk, and I picked up Call of Duty 4 on Black Friday. Plus, I was never really a big fan of the UT series to begin with.

Great news, but I don't think I'm going to be picking this one up this year, maybe later sometime. I've got other games on my plate that I'll be playing throughout the holiday, been taking my time playing galaxy and AC. If I picked this one up, it or another title would probably sit for a long time, that and my wallet wouldn't thank me either. I'll probably pick up Drake's Fortune before UT.

Yeah, the PS3 version has all of the content and mod capabilities of the PC version. I played it in Vegas a few weeks ago (PC and Ps3): smooth as butter. It's a shame about those tiny 360 discs and how they have to cut out all that content for the 3shitty.
