It would have been a surprise in the past. But, considering you can install linux on a PS3, easily attach a keyboard, and Sony even calls the console a "computer," it wouldn't be too far fetched to thing creating mods on a PS3 was a possibility. Certainly not an necessary or expected feature, but seemingly possible.

I wished I could play Starcraft2 on the PS3... that would be golden.. but back on topic, this is just an "Ok" upgrade.

im just wondering... can you buy the PC version and install it on the PS3 using windows OS? thus allowing you to do the mods? just a brash guess.

The last thing you want to put on your PS3 is windows Crunshii. Srsly

This is old news. Plus, its technically impossible to do on consoles unless you're either using in-game assets, or someone decides that making photoshop and soundforge PS3 edition is feasable.

I think the part about having to buy the PC version is the least interesting part of the article. Anyone who knows about PC gaming would have already known that by now.

A more interesting part is when he says that mods will not be moderation and thus, will be open for the PS3 and PC versions.

I was away when the announcement was made I guess, but what happened to the 360 version? In one OXM issue, it has a huge hands on of it, then in two days I hear a rumor that there won't be a 360 version. What gives?

Sometimes people don't understand why they want their console to be the best. It's shit like this.

360 is supposedly not having mods... yet.

@ HarassmentPanda:
There's multiple reasons you can't possibly run UT3 in Linux on a PS3.

1. UT3 is a proprietary game (Epic has yet to even open up their oldest games, amazingly), and Epic has only ever provided binaries for x86 systems, not PowerPC Linux machines (which the PS3 can be).
2. Sony has not allowed access to the full power of the RSX GPU in the PS3 while running non-authorized code (Linux, or whatever else you would want to make), so a very complicated, fully 3D game like UT3 couldn't even run decently in the first place, even if there were PowerPC binaries.
3. UnrealED was never ported to anything but Windows, so you're sort of screwed there. There is Wine, but with a PowerPC CPU, it just won't work, gotta have x86 or x86-64. I'm sure you could *maybe* get a PC emulator to run at a decent speed to run Windows in a virtual PC (only if it was optimized for the 6 PowerPC cores + features of the CELL), but that's really stretching this "possibility" of using a PS3 to run UnrealED.

It would be nice if the source of just UT3 was available under a "you can build binaries, but make no modifications" sort of license, but I highly doubt Epic would ever do something like that. Stick to strict PC/Mac/PS3 versions, and don't try any of this crossover crap. I do want this game, though. Mac + Linux support = a PC game I'll consider buying.
