UT3 360 cancelled?

More and more is Unreal Tournament III looking like a PS3 exclusive. For example: Mike Capps (President of Epic Games) states in the following video that "We´re Just on PlayStation 3, so we get to focus on that platform." Adding to that, on the GameTrailers site itself UT3 shows as PS3 and PC only. Even more evidence shows on the official UT3 site which displays the boxart for the PS3 and PC versions, no 360 boxart in sight. Could all this lead to a final word by Epic that they are in fact releasing UT3 as a PS3 exclusive? Only time will tell.

1.1 - This would be a major Coo for Sony if it turns out to be true

I doubt that Epic won't release a 360 version; however, it is strange that they used to openly say it was a timed exclusive and now you don't hear anything about it unless that is part of the deal of being a timed exclusive...that you can't advertise for the other system while in this time frame. If this isn't the case and Sony is working to have it really an exclusive... it will do much to rally all the PS2 Sony fans to move up to the next piece of hardware. Have played the online MP demo for PC already and it is amazing. Can't wait to pick up for my PS3.

running the demo at 1920 x 1200 with all graphical settings maxed out, not even a blip of lag. Then again my rig is three times as powerful as the 360 but only one third as powerful as the PS3.

1.7 - This guy is a PS3 owner

how many times are people with just one system going to post biased reports out of nowhere just because they can for eff's sake!?!?

I is very likely the game will be out on 360, PS3, and PC, as that would make them the most money, regardless of the quality of ports, or anything else

all they need are TV ads saying "from the makers of Gears of War and the engine used by Bioshock and Stranglehold"

So who is making up his own news here?

After Gears of War sold over 5 million copies on the 360, do you really think Epic wouldn't release their next game based on the Unreal 3 engine on the 360? Jees. They'll make more money on the 360 with UT3 then the PS3.

THis story needs to be reported, because it has no source at all but an old trailer.

@ Stray_Wulf you should get reported over making up news which is not news actually. Not even a rumor. Those approving this story are just as bad as the poster.

Dude how dumb are you. It's running on the Unreal 3 engine, Gears of War was running on the 360, and it's just a beefed up version of Gears with some other gameplay (no hiding etc.).

If it could run on any hardware, it would be the 360 first, because several devs have stated that Unreal 3 engine is having problems on the PS3. Seen all the jaggies and framerate problems on the PS3, I guess UT3 will have the less version on the PS3 also. And the 360 even will have more time to optimalize. Hhhmmmm well I guess you can always pop in a BetaBluRay movie like Casino Royal for the 15847th time!

u just dont get it!!!! epic won't release it on 360. Epic always said "we don't release a game unless we're sure it working 100%". Another proof it won't be on 360 for just a BIG reason, u can check gametrailers on that, mark rein said that sony already helped epic to make UE3 run effeciently on PS3, and he added "Sony worked with us to enhance the UE3 too" that proved to me it's over, no UT3 for M$.
Already epic is working with sony on a new IP using UE4, still rumours, but that won't surprise me.

Last I heard, the 360 version was put on hold until the PS3 version was complete. So I guess you can say they are PS3 only for the time being. Not too sure though. I don't see it being cancelled. At least I hope not.

even i think this is a bad move. UT needs to be played by every one. for this one time i will say this...LET THE UT 3 GAME COME TO THE X-BOX 360. Also find a way to make it so that the PS3 owners can fight the 360 owners so the sony fanboys and 360 fanboys can see who is the better gamer.

4.1 - Right On!

truth be told, UT is solely multiplayer. hell, i have a pretty cool game called H3 for deathmatches with crazy weapons and huge boards. i'm guessing they know with over 5,000,000 copies of H3 sold as of right now, they really have no chance of competing on the 360 platform, if and whenever they decide to release it. PS3 currently has no fresh deathmatch game. of course it will sell a few hundred thousand copies like Resistance and WarHawk. this will certainly give the "other" side something to hold their chins up with. btw, how 'bout that Transformers movie coming out!!! my HD-DVD player is all juiced for some HD arse kicking!!!! out...

You said let truth be told so don't lie. UT3 has an extensive campaign, do a little research before you flame upon something you know nothing about. Halo 3 ? why even bring this into this topic, since you have however anyone that has any thought knows that it's sales have been blown out of proportion. Yes, they have sold a lot. A world wide launch can generate 2 million sales. However that is how everyone is justifying the purchase of their 360. Lets move on to that "already obsolete at launch" HD DVD player you are so excited about. Wow, you have ONE good movie. Too bad that it can't output as high as a blue ray player. Thats a shame. Just for the record so everyone here knows, Total Max bitrates: HD DVD = 36.55 Mbit/s Blue-ray = 53.95 Mbit/s thats a large difference not too mention the space available on each disk. Normal dvd's max bitrate is 11.08 Mbit/s just for a reference. In all, you are obviously easily misinformed my friend, which is obviously why they got you sold on the xbox 360 to begin with.

9 - THEY MIGHT PULL A.........

Haze on us I reckon. That I believe is the most logical thing to happen, because they feel they HAVE to support the modding community which comprises such a large proportion of their community which will play such a large decision. Secondly it will, if they haven't even started work on the 360 version I believe they would be happy to settle for the PC sales (which will be enourmous) as well as the ps3 sales. It would cost a hell of a lot of to make and develop for, it's currently fine tuned to the ps3, they, I know it sounds bad but its really okay, would have to downgrade it to fit the (more singular based) multi-core processor and another thing is the disc size, remember Mark Rein saying because of the Blu-Ray they can have all the maps and features that the PC version has?

So yes, I believe Epic will pull a Haze on the gaming community, but only time will tell.

EDIT!!!!

Umm does anybody have the email of Epic? Cause I want to tell them on the consoles versions to keep the God Mode, Flying, all weapons, infinte ammo cheats. I loved them so much :'( Haha cheers

As a Ps3 fanboy, I really doubt UT3 is going Ps3 exclusive. The 360 version may not come anytime soon, but it will happen. But it's possible they just don't want to release it without mod support and some maps.

14.2 - Actually...

MS doesn't own the Gears IP, Epic does. MS has exclusivity rights to the first two Gears of War games, but not Gears of War 3 or any sidestories. Those will most likely be multiplatform.

The rumor however, is that Epic is working on a new franchise exclusively for Sony.
