To say that Epic's Mark Rein may be proud of Unreal Tournament 3 is something of an understatement. Just watch our exclusive chat with the man to find that out. Lately, he's been bigging up the graphical power of the game, claiming it to be better looking than Gears of War. Ouch, Gears fans. Ouch.
Rein also continued Epic's latest trend of saying really, really nice things about the PlayStation 3.
"It's a really high end experience that pushes the graphics bar up even higher than Gears of War. There's more polygons, there's more stuff going on, there's more explosions and there's more things happening, so we're just really pleased with the way the game runs on the PS3."
Claiming that the PS3 version of UT3 is "something special," Rein praised how "right" it felt to play the game with a controller -- surely blasphemy to the weird and unsavory PC obsessives out there. Rein also went on to say that there were no greater difficulties developing for the PS3 than any other console, despite what some devs have claimed.
Mark Rein hearts the PlayStation 3, I think.

oooooh, right..
You can still double jump and there are the vehicles, but the actual shooting and fighting felt closer to the original (which is a good thing, in my opinion).
Yah well fuck using a controller for UT. UT is meant to be played on a mouse and keyboard and as such, I will be playing it on my PC
with games like call of duty 4 lookin as good as they do without the unreal engine, I dont know what the hype is about, drab and dark?
I;ll wait for the review. The cover system is Gears is the star, not the graphics. Its all in how it plays out. Unreal games have been fairy shitty of recent years, much like the Need for Speed games, every version promises much but fails to really deliver. Hope this is not a lesson in green and purple lighting in space.
UT3 sounds cool. Let's see how it turns out.
Anyway, yeah, the game looks sweet. Looks like the PS3 may finally have a good, quality FPS, because Killzone sure as hell isn't going to be it.
You can play it on PS3 with kb/mouse.
The reason everyone keeps comparing new games to Gears is because IMO Gears was truly the first next gen title to look well...next gen. Halo 3 pales in comparison to Gears graphics which is why Rein is so keen to compare UT3 to it. I'm a Sonyfag so I really could care less about 360 but to say that UT3 is better than Gears is almost a compliment to 360 users.
I suave more to sony & nintendo but you cant lie about the game, look and feel. The only thing UT3 can offer than GoW cant and will not in this gen of consoles, its the amount of things going on at once. Like heavenly Sword has 100+ enemies roaming all around you at full 60fps with no lag and no loss in quality. This can of whoop ass carnage is what I expect to see in UT3 and not in GoW.
I know, but that involves purchasing extra stuff. :/
