On Wednesday, BeyondUnreal reported that the August edition of OXM was graced with a new Unreal Tournament 3 video and a few unlockable pics. Dusk was kind enough to post a low-res snapshot of each of the unlockables.

If the PS3 version is better than the 360 version then it will prove console superiority. And vice-versa.

God of Gaming6138d ago

There have been many multi platform game... by your scale the 360 is better based on many multi platform games already released.

But I do not think one game proves anything in either direction...

P4KY B6138d ago

Epic are NOT LAZY.
There will be no excuses available from either camp. 360 or PS3

This game will be huge and push both systems.
The best looking/playing version of this game will be on the most capable games console.
I'm curious to see which one will win.

Nicosia6138d ago

Well the whole lazy argument, could never fully agree with it. Lets say its got a structure built for most possibilities. Every new structure it adapts to it has to the old structure, but if its difficult to even match it...then we got a problem. Thats with most ports, and sadly when its supirior on the new console(lets say Oblivion) its sadly just a little upgrade. What people are expecting is ''this is gonna be 10X better''. And my second argument; how is a dev. lazy, he spends about 6 months of this life with his crew trying to give this game out.

JsonHenry6138d ago

Yeah, everyone knows the 360 version will look better... but they will BOTH look like crap compared to the PC version!!!

The real comparison should be the 360 version versus the PC version.

Awesome find and awesomer pics. Epic was saving UE3's true power for their old and original series it seems. And its right afterall since that is UNREAL engine 3 and this is UNREAL game 3. Cant wait!

ReconHope6138d ago

i thought the ps3 gpu sucked and was a gaming console second and a bluray player first.(sarcasm)

Sie6138d ago

Those pics are from the 360 version :D

VirusE6138d ago

Don’t be brain dead those are 100% pc screen shots and running on a high dollar sli machine. 256 Megs for ram will not be able to pull that off. While it will look great on both the 360 and the ps3 the pc version will destroy them. Keep in mind 8800gtx sli cost twice as much as a ps3 and they are capable of 1 teraflop. I know some fanboy is going to chime in with the theoretical numbers that SONY PR tossed out saying the rsx does 1.8 teraflops but in game 50 gigaflops is the high that has been achieved with the rsx in the REAL world.

Expect slightly better than gears quality graphics on the consoles.

i Shank u6138d ago (Edited 6138d ago )

if you dont believe it oh well, dont pretend to know where the screens came from. want to point out both PS3 and 360 use 512 MB Ram not 256, and are very capable ofthese grphx.. my bet is the 360 version may look barely better; both will look amazing, PC will look best.
these graphx have improvement over gears with the amount of colors and the lighting and asihfah223 damn this game looks sexy. been playing UT since the original, great series, and this looks to be the best.
P.S. PS3/Xbox360 cross platform multiplayer would be amazing; hope they do it.

VirusE6138d ago

Yeah, I can read. I still 100% disagree that it’s running off an xbox360. Go back and look at the original videos for gears. Look at the video from 05-06ish with the gas station where they push the car down the hill. In the video the graphics are way better and there are kryll EVERYWHERE; in the actual game there isn’t even half that much kryll and the graphics are toned down. UT3 will be no different. When it finally comes out the graphics will be toned down quite a bit for online stability reasons. Those pics are too good in my opinion. Those graphics are WAY better than gears and gears online can only handle 8 people. It’s just not realistic.

okcomputer6138d ago

ps3/360 cross play would be sick, but i think theres no way thats happening given the rivalry between the companies. I'll be picking up the pc version of this though. A PC is so much better for fps than consoles.

i Shank u6138d ago (Edited 6138d ago )

PC is better for FPS. its good PS3 version lets you plug in mouse and keyboard for controls, too bad 360 doesnt.

@ VirusE this game will be out around a year after gears, giving them lots of time to improve on the engine and its use on consoles; these look like good use of 360/PS3; Mass Effect has higher resolution and detail then these shots, so they arent the best grphx either. gears pissed me off they showed a bunch of $hite in commercials and screenshots that didnt happen; still awsome game tho. anyways, we'll see how the grphx are when the game's out. lets not forget these are screens taken with camera off a tv.

P.S. that pic with green goo blobs shooting is amazing. If these are 360 shots or PS3 shots, epic should be given a cookie.

OXM = Official Xbox Magazine

risk6138d ago

kinda like a copy of PSM, and NP playstation magazine and Nintendo power(is this still alive??)

CG6138d ago

If epic games takes full advantage of both the 360 and PS3 strenghts(which im sure they will) then i fully expect the 360 version to be the better than the ps3.

ngoniko6138d ago

Sony and Epic is working together to optimize unreal engine for the ps3. Hope it's working.

Kleptic6138d ago (Edited 6138d ago )

Does anyone read all the news on this game? or pick and chose what they want to hear about it...

Epic has said on numerous interviews that they were treating Unreal 3 as their breakthrough to the PS3's market...they have claimed it have had the most attention of all three versions (mostly because it had to be that way, being that they had done zero work with the hardware at that point)...and that as of April had made strides with the system that they really didn't think would be possible on paper...those comments were probably the result of Sony's large chunk of "help"...

and stop saying the PC version will be the best...UTIII on a complete custom built rig will be...but that is hardly what most PC users have...both consoles are much better than any garden variety standard multi purpose PC...and weaker than high end PCs that are at least 1000 dollars more than a PS3 (that is assuming you have the ability to build it yourself...you won't buy a 1600 PC that will touch either console)...

less than 10% of the PC gamers have a computer that will touch this game on the higher levels of detail, or Crysis for that matter...yet people constantly jump in saying "PC version will pwn"...if you are one of the few with the cash to make that happen, so be it...but most people making those comments have nothing close to that...If you look at even the PC gaming market as a whole, and how skewed the market is with weak and strong PCs...the PC version overall has the ability to look the best...but, especially at launch, both console versions will destroy how this game looks on the average PC that most PC gamers own...

This game is going to be great on any system...the whole franchise always has been...I really can't see how Halo 3 and KZ2 can get so much attention (although we have seen nothing mostly from either of those games yet) when this is pretty much a guaranteed fantastic looking and playing fps...

Tech Focus - Motion Blur: Is It Good For Gaming Graphics?

Opinion is divided on this one for sure! Is motion blur good for gaming? Why do developers include it?

TheOptimist2130d ago

I hate any game that has motion blur and the first thing I do is switch off the motion blur in games. It just makes me nauseous.

XentaJones2130d ago

motion blur makes me sick... so its off.

OpenGL2130d ago

I agree with Alex here, many implementations are terrible but when it is done right it improves the experience.

2130d ago
TheSplooge2130d ago

I always turn it off. Along with depth of field.

Mr_Wilson2130d ago

Those plus vignetting, chromatic aberration, and film grain.

Let’s be Honest, DOOM Looks like the Best First Person Shooter We’ve Seen in Ages

Alex from GamersFTW writes:

“In all seriousness though, I feel like DOOM’s success will be measured by how much the game has to offer. Graphically it’s looking spectacular, and I’m sure the latest multiplayer trailer caught all of our attention. Personally, the game is beginning to remind me of those late nights playing Unreal Tournament 3, which is totally a good thing. This, in addition to the promise of user-generated content, is making DOOM look like the best first-person shooter I’ve seen in ages.”

The campaign looks brilliant, like a true nostalgia trip to the original DOOM titles of old! The multiplayer equally looks like a trip down memory lane to fast-paced and frantic arena games a-la Quake, and honestly the MP REALLY makes me want to the get game at launch to capitalise on the hype. Problem is I'm not overly fussed with multiplayer typically in games, they can get weary after a while, and buying a game solely for its MP is risky - especially on console - as it's heavily dependant on the community!

Rock to my left, hard place to my right..

EDIT: On the MP note, does anyone know if it'll have bots available, similar to Unreal Tournament 3? I still give that a quick play time to time with bots (and all the mad mutators).

c00lvilKid692961d ago

I’m exactly the same, usually multiplayer games are of no interest to me. But DOOM has sparked my curiosity, especially as someone who used to enjoy multiplayer first person shooters like Quake/Unreal. Totally understand your concerns about it being heavily dependant on the community, too. Which is just another reason they should include bots, in case the numbers need to be made up. I’m hoping the community will be good, considering the creative freedoms they’re handing over with the SnapMap thing.

esmittystud1012961d ago (Edited 2961d ago )

Its basically a "console" ahead, in terms of graphics, of another shooter called Homefront thats getting ready to release. LOL

wakeNbake2961d ago

Well thats just a low budget turd, no comparison at all.

mezati992961d ago

i am gonna have to agree with this
