I'm with TnS on this one. The game was shown on 360 once during E3 if I'm not mistaken and 360 / PC logos were in the game site.

About UT3, I'm sure OXM or something previewed the game and had hands-on the 360 demo. Midway and Epic won't go PS3 exclusive with such a high profile FPS.

Any where I can read the UT3 started on the PC ? Just curious.

Unreal Tournament began on PC, therefore it would stay on PC.

Most importantly, the PS3 versions cannot create mods. Mods have to be created on the PC version and be ported over to PS3.

PC and Xbox 360 share similar architecture and codes, so if it's on PC, it could be easily ported over to 360.

And it's extremely unlikely that EPIC would piss off Microsoft by dropping UT3 for 360 and PC.

oh oh dont even think Epic would ever consider dropping UT on PC, maybe 360. UT has always been part of PC and believe it or not thats where Epic's top priority will be, as it will be selling on PC for a long long time.

Well games on PC and 360 are referred to as 360 exclusives, so having the game on PS3 and PC would mean is an exclusive to PS3 owners, no ?

yeah it will be a console exclusive on PS3

that this is one exclusive on the PS3 that fails to disappoint, and finally make me buy my PS3.

I was waiting for Lair and Heavenly Sword to arrive before buying my PS3, but with the slating reviews that Lair has got, and the average reviews that Heavenly Sword has got, I'm back on the fence with the PS3.

I will eventually buy one, and I hope that now Haze is an exclusive to the PS3, that this will change my mind and make me go out and by a PS3.

Let's hope the PS3 exclusive titles change, and we finally get a game that's worthy of being an exclusive like Bioshock, Halo and Gears of War are to the X360.

TheSadTruth - 837 days 8 hours ago

some of what you people say is ridiculous, as if you just speak out of your ass

considering unreal tournament has always been a pc game and is developed primarily for the PC I can't imagine why they would ever want to drop the two platforms that earn them the most money for the platform that will earn them the least??

I mean, do you think at all before you post?

Haze developers obviously worked worked on the PS3 version first and realized it would be too much of a pain to port to the other version I'm assuming, because they obviously don't seem to care about money too much.

thye wont drop UT from PC. Epic has however stated that they dropped PC for UT as the head developing platform. the new UT was mainily developed for the PS3 this time around, not PC first.

Crazyglues - 837 days 6 hours ago

Call me crazy but I always believed this game would be PS3 exclusive, just because of the way the teams over at Ubisoft are working, which is if you didn't start out designing the game for both systems like (Splinter Cell Conviction) then forget about porting it, because port's suck.

It just seems like a decision someone over at the company made. since bringing the other console up to speed would just require way too much, and most likely produce a weaker product. -example Rainbow six: Vegas on PS3. -a port from 360 which came out worst then the 360 version.

So Porting HAZE over to 360 would probably be just as bad and would result in another version that would be weak and hurt the companies gaming image.

(I just feel Ubisoft finally gets it, it's not like the old days, you can't just port games anymore the systems are too advance and need to be designed from the ground up with each console in mind. -example Assassins Creed.

So it's no surprise to me this became a PS3 exclusive, because it was clearly designed with the PS3 as it's main console.

Will the game be any good, looks like yeah it will be good but great, No! Why do I say that. Well I think I have seen something other gamers may have not really be looking at.

For one, Gears of War it's not, their seems to be no big monster to take on, (always big in gaming) It also seems to focus too much on Nector. Something I feel the designers used as an excuse for not working on anything really amazing and breathtaking. -I mean you call out the biggest game in gaming Halo 3 and then you have nothing really spectacular to show us.

Now that's just crazy, I believe it's because their is nothing really crazy in the game, another FPS from beginning to end. I feel the game will do Ok, and that's it, I would even go as far as saying it may just disappoint. (that wouldn't surprise me at all)

Gameplay-wise, UTIII will DESTROY Halo 3. Sales-wise...no.

You really can't compete with Unreal Tournament's multi-player. While it doesn't have Halo's popularity...it's definitely the better game. Of course...you have Haze to worry about now too. haha...

The devs never started the comparison, reporters did. The devs never mentioned Halo 3 in an article and never compared Haze to it either. The article on here weeks back made it look like the devs started it but they didn't.

The questions and comparisions were made by the guys asking the questions, not those answering them.

THey were not sure whether sony would pay them up or not for exclusivity. Now i guess sony's paid them to make it ps3 only. Well no worries as some of you fonygirls used to say 360 is all fps so go on enjoy an fps on your system while we enjoy H3, Bioshock, Mass effect etc.

tplarkin7 - 837 days 11 hours ago

AC was "not confirmed" for other platforms, but eventually became a multi-platform game. This appears to be the same language. It's a smart move to drum-up interest in the game for PS3 owners. The reality is that the 360 market is too big to ignore. It is coming to 360 after the dust settles with Halo 3.

Good observation and very true! I don't think anybody should start claiming it's an exclusive just yet! It seems as if everybody is quick to jump the gun and just start saying whatever! Hopefully it's exclusive but I'm just saying people should stop acting so desperate for good news!

Having both systems is indeed a bliss. BioShock, Heavenly Sword, Halo 3, Haze, Uncharted, Mass Effect... it's a gaming paradise :)
Not to mention all the multiplatform and Wii titles.

From what I have seen of the game and how the developers have described it, it seems like they want some PR and marketing lovin` from Sony.

Nectar juice anyone? ;)

Having multiple consoles was a must for me in this gen, I was a bit jelaous when I heard positive things about the competition in the previous system war.

The devs never compared it to Halo 3!

In the articles posted on here claiming they'd compared it, it was the reporters and interviewers that talked about comparisons, not the devs. They've been making Haze and focusing on that, not a comparison against a game that has enough hype to blow a whole in the planet.

Games better than Halo 3? The mags won't admit it cos it'll turn off the 360 guys. Those that disrespect Halo get attacked for it or ignored, the mags know it, the sites know it, pretty much everyone knows it.

IMO Halo has brought people into MP gaming over the years (which is always a good thing), and I also love trilogies so there's another plus for it, but I just don't see Halo 3 as a 'new' game. Even that article about the 'walkthrough' of the game constantly mentioned things like 'It's just like in Halo 2 where...' or 'You'll remember doing the same type of mission in Halo'.

If you like Halo you'll buy Halo 3. If you don't, Haze is a great game worth checking out. Don't compare them just look at what they offer as games individually...

Haze looks better than Timeshift to me, but not better than COD4. Who knows. I usually only play games for online now, and Warhawk is the best out right now (till Socom!)

solidt12 - 837 days 9 hours ago

I understand why you would say that but it's wierd, I feel the exact opposite of you. Im passing on Timeshift because it looks like shooter with time travel as a gimmick. I liked what I saw from HAZE alot more. More to do in the game because of vehicle and the gameplay looks alot better. Example. I saw a video of HAZE were a you can takt the enemies gun, well you can do the same thing in timeshift but they don't show you taking the gun it just appears in your hand like some last gen crap, and Timeshift looks too much like Fear, the time slow down thing looks just like when you do it in FEAR and the sound effect I think was even the same.
