NC Soft sign exclusively to PS3 and Xbox 360 wont get UT3 this year

Breaking news! Sony has just confirmed at their E3 press conference that NC Soft, the developer behind the city of Heroes and Guild Wars franchise has signed an exclusive agreement to develop games exclusively for the Playstation 3.

[Odion]

the 360 won't get UT3 this year, change the dam title of this post.

I will say well done with getting it as a time exclusive, i guess the mod thing really did piss of CLiffy B

[tehcellownu]

HAZE, METAL GEAR SOLID 4, UNREAL ALL EXCLUSIVE TO PS3..HAHA..XBOTS IS GETTIN OWNED

EDIT--OMFG INFAMOUSE TRAILER WAS AWESOME

[Lucidmantra]

well now that tehcell showed how ignorant he was...

Exclusivity in the new-gen... Let me sum it up like this..

Lets get some money from one company to help us pay to port it to the other console.

That is exactly how it is working... Get some money from SOny for Haze and use it to pay for the costs of dev and porting. Get some money from MS to pay to port to PS3. They are basically taking money from the companies for timed exclusives.

[JasonPC360PS3Wii]

2 to 1 <---you know what that is?

[Rhezin]

WHAT IT BETTER BE JUST A TIMED EXCLUSIVE IT WAS STARTED DEVELOPMENT ON 360!!!!

[ShiftyLookingCow]

you mean UT3 started on 360? You got to be kidding me. It started on PC, console focus was on PS3 and later because of Gears its eventually coming to 360. Anybody have any idea when the PC version is coming? If you played prior versions of UT you know that is the version to get, but somehow if PS3 is getting UT3 first then I guess I have to wait which is okay as UT on PC lasts for years at a time. If that is the case, PS3 players should get it, it will be a ton of fun and better than Warhawk.

[gta_cb]

yeh i know what you mean, i have UT 2004, and to this day there are tons of people still playing it online, and also i dont know if anyone has ever played this game, but Aliens Vs Predator 2 is still a MASSIVELY played game online.

[GaMr-]

Xbox360: "The only console you can play GTA4,Madden 08 and Halo 3

PS3: "The only console you can play UT3,Haze,KZ2, & MGS4

Especially since GTA4 and Madden 08 are multi. Who is starting to do crappy P.R now. Good job Pete M. Keep it up.

@ 3.1 ... Sorry did Pete M.'s wang get jammed in your butthole. Im simply quoting the man (who appearently is your boyfriend). When he made that statement he mentioned nothing about time or release dates. All he said was. the only console you can play those three games on.

[rusgreim]

KILLZONE 2 WILL NOT BE RELEASED IN 2007.

What the hell is wrong with you morons that you think this game is a Q4 07 game?

So you have UT3, which may or may not be timed, and Haze which is definately a timed exclusive. Halo 3, will never, ever, in a billion years, be on a Sony system.

Whether you like Halo or not, doesn't much matter. Its selling 7 million units in Q4 no matter what you say or do.

[PSTripleOG]

.

[MoonDust]

they are timed.

[ArmrdChaos]

UT3 timed...Haze...timed....The only exclusive titles in your PS3 list are both confirmed not to show until 2008.

Moore's comment was in reference to the only console where you can play ALL 3 games...I think everyone is aware that GTA4 and Madden are going to be released for PS3...but obviously Halo will not...so if you want to play all 3 of those games but can only afford one console then the 360 will be your only choice. I'm sorry he didn't have the time to create a finger painting for you.

[LeonSKennedy4Life]

What you fail to see, however, is that after that Killzone 2 trailer...no self-respecting gamer is gonna go back to Halo.

If as many people watched that press conference as I'm assuming...Halo 3 won't be as INCREDIBLE as you think.

[Lucidmantra]

So what you are saying LEON is that only Killzone has the keys to the chest of certain uberdom when in fact the other Killzones have sold badly compaired to Halo??? Or is it the fact that what you are seeing you THINK it will be a good game.

I believe both will be good games. I KNOW Halo will sell like hotcakes. There are too many people out there who love Halo. Killzone is building a solid buzz. I liked this FINALLY a in game running trailer. We all knew that rubbish from the past was pre-vis or CGI. Killzone still looks good but nowhere near as good as it did.

I think you should chill. Both consoles have compelling games for their core audiences to enjoy exclusively (timed or truely) get over the XBOX vs PS3 step into maturity and enjoy what you are seeing for your console... <that is to everyone...because there is some good stuff out there.>

But already i can see we will have a bunch of people nuthugging INFAMOUS when you saw a little 4 minute trailer about it. Yes it looked INTERESTING but you know what I bet i could make a YOUTUBE video that would make Barbie Horse Adventures look like the next AAAA title coming. You don't realize alot can happen in a dev cycle.

[testerg35]

He said exclusive for this year. So its just a timed exclusive. Actually makes sense since Halo 3 is coming out at the same time.

[TheFartMart]

NO. Its confirmed to be EXCLUSIVE. Not timed exclusive but EXCLUSIVE.

[testerg35]

He said you the only console you can play it on this year. Its a timed exclusive.

[TheFartMart]

And this morning the retarded bots said that the graphics on UT3 are way better than KZ2. Now they will say that th graphics on Halo are way better than UT3 and that UT3 sucks.

Die 360 die. Long live the king SONY.

[nobizlikesnowbiz]

Ummm title is incorrect.

UT3 was featured in OXM last month. I kind of figure if they feature it in their mag, its coming to their console. Tards...

It's just timed. Guess what our version will be better. We will have extra features, as usual.

[Doobie24]

Like Raindow Six or Ninja Gaiden had the extra features right? Haha

[SF49er408]

after seein haze i could care less though. ut3 i can wait. both r smart to release later. ima play gta4, halo 3, and mass effect soooooooo yea release them next year. i dont care really. and mgs4 they said exclusive but that doesnt mean it wont come out a year later for 360.

[killercam19]

he also said assasins creed was a ps3 exclusive didnt he which means maybe he made a mistake

[Ignorant Fanboy]

He must have been using the other meaning of the word exclusive. Which I dont see why, we saw the same videos at Microsofts event the night before.

Anyways, he was beating around the bush on exclusivity.

[schabeugen04]

This has been confirmed as an exlusive for ps3 no mention of time also mgs4 Still exclusive sony definitely has one this E3

[Schmitty07]

He said "PS3 will be the only place to play UT3 THIS YEAR"

[SF49er408]

if u want to play it this HOLIDAY SEASON u play of ps3. they throw around world exclusive alot. remember last e3. like every multiplat game was confirmed exclusive lol

[TheMART-sucksdick]

Nuff said

GRAN TURISMO 5!!!!!!!!!!!! c0ckpit view woooooo hoooooooooooo damn its going to own Forza 3

In game of killzone!!!!! GOW just got owned

[Lex Luthor]

by the time gt5 comes out, forza 3 will be ready.

[the_round_peg]

Look, stop playing around with words here. You know UT3 is now PS3 exclusive. This is bad.

Microsoft just got gang raped at E3.

[witchking]

Hello... UT3 is exlusive to the PS3 this fall. And like, duh, do you think many other FPSs are going to do well on the 360 this fall? There's a little game called Halo 3 that's going to pretty much own the 360 gamers's lives from September on. Why wouldn't Epic take a little dough to keep their UT3 off the list of games that have to compete against Halo 3 on the 360? Hold the 360 version for 6 months, then ship it with all the maps they add on later.

[Arkham]

UT3 is exclusive to the PS3 for this year/holiday season. 360 version may come out in Spring 08. Sure, I'd love to have it as an exclusive, but seriously, what I love even more is my ability to read and properly interpret what I hear.

Stop being such a fanboy.

[toonbytes07]

Timed exclusive. I cant believe how delusional you guys get.

[Kleptic]

I agree that it is probably, UT3 I mean, a timed exclusive...Tretton said the only place to play UT3 this fall...then at the end said of the segment called it an "exlusive"....there is a huge difference there...

but it is interesting that MS didn't show anything on UT3 yesterday...not even for the PC...when they did show some games that won't be out until 08...

and with MGS4...Kojima was there...and made absolutely no reference to it being on any other systems...media skewing aside...there is probably no hope whatsoever of a 360 version coming out even remotely close to the ps3 version...

[Professor Chaos]

It is just not coming to 360 this year. It was all in the wording. 360 is going to get UT3 and Haze, just not this year.

[witchking]

That is a huge win there. Guild Wars on PS3? That rocks.

UT3 is only a timed exclusive.

[killercam19]

its more than likely a timed if ps3 gets it as an exclusive but xbox still has halo so we can live without ut3 if that happens i personally was gonna buy gta 4 & Halo when i thought the 3 were coming out at the same time

[milthaar]

isn't epic a branch of NCSoft sins ut3 is made by epic and its now exclusive and they signed an agreement that they were gonna make ps3 exclusives only so does this mean that gears of war 2 and 3 are coming to ps3? (don't get all pissed off over this post its just a question)

[gapzi11a]

This is two different stories. NC Soft is not related to Epic and UT3.

1. MMORPG developer NC Soft is developing exclusively for the PS3.

2. UT3, made by Epic, is a TIMED exclusive for the PS3. It was developed on PC/360 architecture and will be coming to those platforms next year. The title is false in saying that "Xbox 360 wont get UT3!"

[ericbs]

I wouldn't think so seeing as it is published by Microsoft and they own the IP right?

[gapzi11a]

UT3 as a timed exclusive is fine with me. With some many games coming at the end of the year, I'll wait for this one. Plus, with the extra development time, it will be even better.

[Gm0n]

Who really cares. The best version will be on the PC. There's enough good titles coming out for the 360 to keep the fanboys busy this fall!

To all the PS3 boys (and I do mean boys!!!) just relax and be thankful you'll have it before everyone else.

[UJUSTLOSTONE]

Sony seems to be Dominating this E-3

We just have to wait and See what Nintendo is bringing to the table, I'm not really interested, but Who knows... Nintendo has been doing really well lately.

[jahcure]

Ninty already showed before Sony. They were great, but after watching this sony showing, this show was totally owned by sony. I mean..WOW. And guys, read the g4 ticker...UT3 has been announced as a ps3 exclusive at least for now.Lets see if it goes PC nexy year

[testerg35]

I have both consoles, but more biased towards 360 cause nothing out for PS3 so far. I also agree that Sony had a better showing than MS.

[Kleptic]

...

Nintendo alreay did there thing...They confirmed some dates...showed some more really bizarre cooking games...claimed that they "already have given us what we wanted with online gaming"...whatever the hell that meant...and showed Metroid Prime 3, claiming it to be the very best first person shooter for this year...haha...don't get me wrong...I love that franchise...but it has always stressed more on adventure, than shooting...which is the way it should be...I am suprised that they attempted to pit it with Halo 3 and all the others...

I thought Nintendo's conference was pretty poor...MS showed some cool stuff, namely with COD4...but both Sony and MS could have shown a lot more...Sony simply montaged their biggest 1st party titles relatively quickly...barely touching on most of them...

They showed KZ2 gameplay for the first time to the general public too...the trailer showed some stuff...but those several minutes at the end of the show where the most impressive out of all of Sonys offering imo...

They did counter some of MSs stuff, with some quick footage of COD4 and AC...but what they showed of COD4 wasn't half as good as the level that MS showed...

and...The 360 people get the beta...

[SF49er408]

looks good but i dont know not too exciting. faces look great, and character models look awesome

[nobizlikesnowbiz]

And textures look....eh....turdish?

[SDS Gamerfiend]

Good move on sony`s part to get both haze and UT3 as a timed exclusive!! I`m no hater, nice move! Had they not, it would have been lights out this holiday season! But with halo 3, mass effect, GTA4, too human and others so I can wait. But kudos to sony for their moves and While killzone 2 looks beautiful, and even better looking than halo 3 at this point, it still doesn`t touch UT3 or Gears Of War! And it damn sure doesn`t look like that E3 05 trailer! We`ll have to look at that game as well as halo 3 and others after they are released.

[the greatest]

time 2 trash those 360
you want games come 2 the darkside

[SuperSaiyan4]

The one I downloaded on the 360 marketplace for this game...Oh well so its a TIMED exclusive just like HAZE is timed also.

And of course we all know the 360 versions will of course be even better, Virtua Fighter anyone? ;-)

[Odion]

I am kinda happy with Haze and UT3 coming out early next year I'll prob actually buy them, it looks like it will be Halo 3, GTA4,ES,ME,LO,Bioshock,BlueDra gon,AC, and w/e else feels like coming out

taking this right from the transcript

Tretton says that Unreal Tournament III will be exclusive this year to the PC and PS3, and it will allow the importations of mods made for the PC version to the PS3. That's pretty big stuff, especially for the mod community.

Also ya HANDS down Sony won E3, they def had a way better showing then the other 2, and this is me saying that gratz Sony you won E3!

[Kleptic]

I agree with you on Sony's showing...MS's was good...and Nintendo I thought was terrible...WiiFit got a lot of attention, which is ok I guess...but other than that they simply droned on about wierd cooking games again...and how so many people use the wifi stuff...great...

What transcript are you speaking of? I just watched everything live, and Tretton only mentioned the ps3 being the only place to play UT3 "this year"...he made no mention of the PC version, and obviously not the 360 version...MS also showed nothing of UT3 for the PC yesterday, using the PC version of Gears instead...I find that strange, especially if the PC version is being released with the PS3 at the same time...not sure though, maybe I missed him saying it...All I caught was him talking about how much "help" they are giving Epic to optimize the engine for the PS3...

I disagree with you in terms of buying the game later though...Even if you didnt' buy these games initially, they would still be there when you did get around to getting them...The news most likely isn't great for MSs relationship with Epic...the rumors of the user created content problems, and MS not allowing Epic access to XBL tools that they used for Gears...coupled with Sony claiming that they will not "pay for exlusives" (probably total BS..but w/e)...causes a lot of questions...

I haven't seen any other confirmations on UT3 as of yet...if I am way off and its already confirmed for the PC this fall also...I just haven't been up to speed on it I guess...apology in advance...

[TheMART-sucksdick]

SONY owned this E3 and Killzone 2 did look better than Gears of war. Gran turismo 5 looks amazing, with C0ckpit view, ferraris and LONDON!!!! lol And more to come in the next week

Am no fanboy you turd. I play Gears all the time, why dont you just admit it Sony stole the show, i'm happy they did. Alot of happy fans out there. Killzone 2 looks better than any game on consoles at the moment, WHY WOULD YOU BE A COWARD. ADMIT IT. And when killzone comes out next year it will look better, better than the CGI. YES!

[nobizlikesnowbiz]

Killzone 2 was the only thing Sony had up their sleeve. It was enough to steal the show with it's pretty graphics. Fanboys are fawning as usual. Everyone else is impressed with the fact that Sony didnt F**K UP!

M$ wants this holiday. They're going to get it. How much more of a lead do you think the PS3 can catch up to? Once Halo 3 comes out it'll be like hitting the NOS.

[ShiftyLookingCow]

totally agreed, Microsoft showed no new games, didnt focus on any particular game like Halo or GTA and lacked the punch that Sony had with Killzone and yeah GT5 does looks really nice. Gears has more shader effects than Killzone but it looks much more artificial compared to Killzone which looks smooth. It seems Kojima will make sure the last installment of MGS exclusive to PS3. UT3 exclusivity was surprise as it is only a few months since 360 version was announced and not a surprise because of user content controversy. I hope PC version comes along with PS3 if not before. In all, everybody has something good to play this holiday. Glad to have PS360.

[Lex Luthor]

Are you guys dumb UT3 and Haze is comming out in 2008 on pc and 360. For 2007 it's ps3 timed exclusive, Jack tretton confirmed that it was exclusive for this year. And i've just watch sony's conference, it was good but nothing mind blowing and just like microsoft's conference everything shown was expected so it ruined any element of suprise. But it was good never the less.

The mgs4 trailer was crazy, why were meryl and the soldiers choking like that?

[killercam19]

"time 2 trash those 360
you want games come 2 the darkside "

the convo was so peacful and kind till ur dumbass came in

[the greatest]

go run out and get your halo3 360
and halo3 lunch box hahahahhaahahha

[DaEnforcer]

Guild Wars is a great free MMORPG that got reviews in the 9's on PC. Expect great and PS3 exclusive MMORPG stuff from them.

[Yaoi Sangheili]

Sony's conference was up on Microsoft by leaps and bounds. Sure, they showed games, but it was EXCITING! It was filled with energy, with anticipation, which lacked in Microsoft's part. I missed Nintendo's conference... I guess, didn't see it yet, but anyways, Sony took E3 home and got it in bed in the first ten minutes, no doubt... and this coming an Xbox 360 Fan.

Now, as far as Killzone 2 goes, it looks to be a wonderful game and deliver what was promised, but if we're comparing it to Gears of War, it's in my opinion that both games are great in their own way, alright? Gears of War has somewhat a vibrant appeal, while Killzone 2 has detailed graphics! Did you check out the material composition of their clothing, it was great! As were most of the textures, but like Gears of War, the dark gritty textures are sort of a turn off to me personally. Gears of Wars proved that even in war, there's beauty to be found, but they developed by two different developers. I DO feel that Killzone 2's gameplay will DEFINITELY kick up the action x10 that Gears of War had. I love FPS games that have constant action around me, which isn't what Gears of Wars is, since it's more about taking small engagements of enemies, with small bits of action that can sometimes give you a small adrenaline rush. But of course, Multiplayer is where the cream-n-butter of games lay these days, and I could imagine Killzone 2 will "Hopefully" have, but I'm not sure but will search for it. Again, Gears of War and Killzone 2 are both, in respect, great games in their own ways, and to use either to compare it against the other would be nothing short of blind fanboyism.

In closing, If I had to give Killzone 2 a rating, based on what I've seen and what now, it'll be a 10/10.

[Percy]

What part of exclusive do you not understand. Not only is it exclusive but you will be able to play all the free user generated content on the free psn something that probably drove the game away from xbox do to how xbox live is run $$$$$$$

[TheFamilyGuy]

It is good for Sony that they got UT3 for Nov. 2007 since KillZone 2 is 2008.

[m000b1]

MS got raped.

[nomad117]

g4 said that and they said microsoft's sucks and wii was in the middle but really the wii confrence made me want to stick tons of needle's in my eyes I REALLY DON'T care about wii fit stop calling me fat lol jk

[Blasphemy]

Console Wars are over Sony wins this one!

[gta_cb]

not yet mate, there is still alot to play for. Sony have the trailers, but now they need to deliver the games, and also need to ship more consoles (the price cut is helping)

[Stiffler203]

UT3 was featured in the OXM and is coming to xbox 360. So sorry to rain on your parade sony fan boys but its not an exclusive. Jack even said exclusive for this year dumba$$es. I will say sony's press conference was the best out of the 3.

[Odion]

Haze is 2007 MGS4 is 2008

ALso if you need more proof

UT3 Timed for PC/PS3
http://e3.gamespot.com/stor...

MGS4 delayed till 2008
http://e3.gamespot.com/stor...

[achira]

haha, xbots were owned!!! hahaha ut3 exclusive, and mgs exlusive, hahahah, killzone the most awesome game ever, hahahaa, go die xbots!!!

[Tommie]

Are you guys this stupid. Its a timed-exclusive for PS3 only. The game will release in november on PS3 exclusive and january 2008 on 360 & PC. Xbox 360 has already got loods of titels to play this year so theres almost no time for UTII.

[Blankman]

aaaaah at gettin UT3 exclusive don't know if its timed or whateva but kudos. That frag x controller is begining to look a little more attractive now. MGS trailer was simply out of this world even if it wasnt gameplay but it is enough to get me excited. Nice killzone trailer can't wait to see it in hd up on the store hopefully they show the longer one that they showed at the confrence the one with more gameplay footage. Extremely dissapointed that no demos were announced:(
@ balance. common man give sony where their credit is due. There was no time to be playing those games on stage. They could have tried to play killzone on stage though but everthing else i have already seen on stage so dosent matter.

[Balance]

is it just me or were the majority of the games sony showed mostly shooters (albeit with nice graphics), isn't that whay sony people usually compain of on the xbox, lots of shooters with nothing new or ground breaking in terms of gameplay.

at least this year sony showed some gameplay in their games, of coarse MS actually came out and played most of theirs onstage.

[nice_cuppa]

haze and unreal are timed only as halo 3 scared the crap out of them.

oh well.

[killercam19]

How did ms get raped u guys get one game from us we have gotten tons from u guys so whats ur point u C*nt

[DrRage77]

look, let's not keep going with these stupid flaming raids. Haze and UT3 are coming to the PS3, but they are also going to make their way to the 360. i don't understand why people are jumping on this and refusing to acknowledge that these games are going to be on both platforms....does it somehow make people feel insecure if they admit that the games will appear on both platforms?? i really don't understand some of the people's comments on here where they start throwing tantrums and keep saying "exclusive" when these were only confirmed to be "timed exclusives".

and we are still at the same point we were before, where most of the highly anticipated games for the ps3 are coming out in 2008....the microsoft conference was all about all the anticipated games that are coming out this year, in 2007.

also, is it so hard to actually admit that both systems have great games coming out? i saw killzone2 and think it looks like a great game, and it should since it has been in development for the last 2 years. there are also great games coming out on the xbox360....so what does this prove? people will buy whatever system has MORE of the games that the INDIVIDUAL prefers. if there were more games that i was drooling over coming out for the ps3, that would have been the system i bought....but i bought a 360 because that is the system that has more games that i am interested in.

BOTH systems have great games, BOTH systems have loyal fans, and BOTH systems will have great games coming out in the future....but for some people on here, their view is only "my system is the greatest which means other systems completely suck"....quite sad. do you think there would be a ps3 or xbox360 if there had not been several consoles for people to choose from???

we would all stll be playing our 8-bit nintendo if other systems didn't come out to start pushing ALL console makers to come out with better consoles and better games for the consumers!!!

[zonetrooper5]

I've still got Halo 3, GTA IV, Half Life 2 Orange Box and many other games to keep me busy, well done on Sony for getting UT3 for this year. I can buy UT3 and Haze next for my 360 if I want.

[Daxx]

Oh well, I'll be playing Mass Effect, Halo 3, and BioShock. Besides I was about to run out of money if UT3 was released around the same time as all those other 360 games.

[Douglasp]

It is a good thing that UT and Haze are coming to 360 after the year is over cause I don't think I would of bought any of those two this year alone. MY budget wouldn't allow me to buy that many games for the holidays. Now I can buy them after the new year. I say UT3 in JAn and Feb Haze?

[Stiffler203]

People please stop saying that KZ2 looks better then GOW come on be for real. Yes KZ2 looked good why can't you just leave at that and stop trying to start a flame war with bullsh!t. Plus you have to admit that Microsoft has a better line up this year then Sony or Nintendo.

[DrRage77]

okay, to stop all the flaming, i am pasting the EXACT qoute from the interview concerning Haze and it's exclusivity:

IGN: Is it a permanent exclusive or will it be timed, ala Oblivion?

Tony Key: Haze will only be found on PS3 this holiday season, and will remain exclusive through the first quarter of the calendar year.

okay, that should end this stupid argument...and the same has been revealed about UT3...check the new articles that have just been posted poeple!!!

[Ignorant Fanboy]

Sony mostly showed games coming next year.

[Jeba]

i guess all that xbot talk about ps3 users waiting bit them in the a$$

- karma

[Boink]

lol, I'm amazed at how much exclusive was thrown around at the sony conference. Appears some of the dumber fanboys believed it though, so job well done.

that echo game with the shapes looked amazing though.

I though all 3 conferences were pretty crappy. absolutetly nothing that blew my mind...

[Lex Luthor]

Too right, nothing was mind blowing.

[slugg]

They updated the article and pointed out that is should say "timed exclusive" a lot of Sony idiots are feeling kinda stupid. Well, don't feel so bad. The "exlusive" game is being worked by both sides. So, Killzone 2 WILL be ONLY on PS3, and looks good so far. But guess what-- the original Killzone looked good, too, was called a Halo-killer, etc., and we all know how that turned out. Halo 3 will only be on 360, and if you like Halo (plenty of people do), then you'll need a 360 to play it. But look at Halo and Halo 2's ratings on Metacritic vs. Killzone 1, and stop with the "Killzone is better than GOW and Halo 3 combined" crap, 'cause you are setting yourself up to look like a moron, just like everyone who claims UT3 is forever exclusive on PS3, when it turns out (duh!) that it is only timed. And timed why? Why to give Halo 3 some space, eh, not to mention all the other amazing games the 360 will have this year. End of story.

[xg-ei8ht]

Strange i'd have thought you'd all have realised that once halo 3 hits, yeah it'll sell some consoles.

But i'm guessing the ppl that love xbox(halo) have already bought a 360.

Whereas there's 100million ps2 owners who haven't bought a ps3. As the price is dropping and there are better deals to be had, its shifting x2 the amount now.

Once Heavenly sword and uncharted, lair, are released your gonna get a massive spike of growth in north america. Remmember also, Dirt is doing well on the 360 and is coming ps3's way shortly.

As i've stated before in many ways, I love games, I think the xbox360 has some sweet games, and i'm looking forward to seeing ps3 sweet games also.

[PS360PCROCKS]

:( Microsoft what are you doing? ::sigh:: I buy the PS3 version I guess...I hate buying PS3 titles because it's my roommates PS3 (I have the 360) so once I move out their useless! dangit

[paracardium]

lol killzone 2 still in alpha stage and your comparing it to gears which is finished. Once this game is done then we'll really see what's it's capable of.

[Keltiik]

I've been a long time reader here but I have to comment that this person -achira- is probably the most ignorant annoying person I've ever seen post PERIOD. Can you please stfu and write something intelligent for once.

I honestly believe that you are not over the age of 12, your posting is so horribly typed and so much incorrect spelling that I had to post this to make myself feel better inside. Please stay in school and learn english.

P.S Sorry this was off topic. There is a lot of ignorant annoying fanboys here but achira just tops most of them. I'm so annoyed at that person I might have mistyped something. Peace!

[AngryTypingGuy]

I was worried there for a sec when I read the title. But since UT3 will just be a timed exclusive, that's fine by me. The 360 lineup for fall is already stacked as it is. I won't possibly have enough time to beat all of the games that I want to. As long as UT3 is just a TIMED exclusive and not a FULL console exclusive, like say, Gears of War is for the 360, then everything is fine. They can take that extra time and make little enhancements for the game, so that the 360 version is the definitive version, like just about every other non-exclusive title.

[ElementX]

So if UT3 is coming out for PS3 this year and 360 next year, will it look better because of longer development time? I think so... I own both systems but will probably pick this up for 360, depending upon reviews for the PS3 version.

[Why o why]

mouse n keyboard mr x. thats the biggest selling point plus the mods. The 360 version wont have these, i mean nobody wants to play a game forever but allowing mods gives games an extended lifespan which can only be good for the gamer. for this game its pc or ps3 for me. it just makes sense

[rayzorn]

first off i want to say i have a ps3 and am thinking of gettina a 360 when they fix the hardware problems i like both systems. but seems like everytime a game comes out for the 360 first and ps3 a couple of months later they xbox fans laugh at us saying we get all there old garbage that they are done with. now that ps3 is gettina a couple of games first the xbox fans are saying they are happy there game is coming out later because it will be better with more development time. lmfao. make up your minds. i know sony fanboys suck also but so do you xbots.

[AngryTypingGuy]

I don't think that any Xbox fan is happy that it is coming out later. For me personally, it's just not a big deal that it is a timed exclusive, with all of the other games that are coming out, and ones that already are out that I haven't gotten to yet. Like I said, as long as it gets to the 360 at some point in time, then all is well.

[ElementX]

I think MS will announce some sort of mouse-like control system for 360, maybe at X07 or TGS. I guess time will tell.

[30ROCK]

UT3 is timed exclusive, HOWEVER - PS3 gets the superior version - ONLY PS3 will have Keyboard + Mouse support. ONLY PS3 will have full access to user mods from PC. I mean out of 360 and PS3, obviously PC has all that.

So no nobizlikeshowbiz, you do NOT get the better version. You get...TO WAIT!

OMG! Imagine next year when we're playing MGS4, Killzone 2, GT5 and FFXIII while Xbots play last year's games like Haze and UT3. Of course we'll get Bioshock, but w/e. We'll also be playing many of the games MS showed at their conference this year, like Rock Band, COD4, GTA4 etc. That means we have more games to play.

WOW! Sony does not f*** around anymore.
Playstation really is the console for everyone now, casual and hardcore - western MMOs are a comin'

[AngryTypingGuy]

Yes, because a timed exclusive is something to get upset about, especially when there are plenty of AAA titles already coming out to choose from. Buying a $600 system and have to wait so long for decent games would give me a meltdown. The difference for 360 fans is we don't have to wait for AAA titles. Hopefully UT won't come out in the Spring. Us 360 fans will be too busy playing the extra content released for GTA IV.

No one can poke fun at the 360 about game selection and have it mean anything. For 360 owners, there are so many games, so little time. Just the way it should be.

[ReBurn]

It isn't as if there isn't already a ton of FPS games already on the 360. Besides, I wouldn't want to be an FPS competing with Halo in the 3rd quarter.

[Snake_Doctor]

I don't know what Jack is doing for exclusives but it looks like it's working.

[progx]

oh yeah...CALL OF DUTY 4, and a little sometin called HALO 3.

[nomad117]

xbox 360 fans because they don't get this game this year deosn't mean you have to give me a list of like 6 titles of what you'll be playing you don't see me naming 15 titles of what sony will have do you

[30ROCK]

And what's more pathetic is that most of the titles they list are also on PS3. GTA, COD4 etc.

It's really sad guys, don't be melting down like angrytypingguy because you have LESS great games to play than PS3 owners. Hey, we have more than enough AAAs this year, but we welcome more, not shun them like jealous little Xbots.

[Devilbringer]

To read the post 360 fanboys are posting. they are so angry now they have to try anything to say to make them fell better. ( well we have that game and that game). pathetic..

[solidt12]

I have been saying all year that Sony is getting all the games that Microsoft has except about 4 plus they have all the 1st and 2nd party titles coming ( like 16 of them)so they are in a much better situation than Microsoft. I geuss now people can see that based on the conference. I kinda feel sorry fo Microsoft right now and I hope they can stay competitive in the coming year. They didn't show anything they have coming out next year and they also need to get some game developing studios or they are not gonna last. Sony isn't f*c*ing around they won't the 1# spot back. I like that there is competition and I hope they can co-exit. I downloaded the Unreal Tournament trailer off my PS3 last night and it felt weird seeing it on the PS3 with the big letters saying from the makers of Gears of War. I am still trying to wrap my head around how they gave MS a one two knock out. Sony put up atleast a dozen videos last night for all the game Microsoft showed except Halo 3 and Mass Effect which they don't own but man, it's just Amazing what is happening.

[jolshwar]

Both UT3 and Haze being exclusives are because of Halo 3, if they launched at the same time, it would be a financial disaster for everyone except bungle.

[Bill Gates]

You XBOTS realize that UT3 will eat Halo whole in terms of gameplay right? just making sure you understood that.....HAHAHAHAHHAAHHA

[N4GayFanturds]

UT3 is supposed to drop in NOVEMBER- which means 360 should have it by January. And no one wants to try to compete with a record-breaking smash like Halo 3 (to me UT series multiplayer is better by far but how much money has the UT franchise made compared to Halo??)

Yea so I'll be fine without UT3 for a few months. Besides, I thought you fa6boys didn't like FP shooters??? Now you brag about Killzone2 & UT3?? ROFL

Hey what about your RPGs?? Anything good like; Blue Dragon, Two Worlds, Fallout 3, Lost Odessey, Mass Effect, Fable2, Darksiders, Dark Messiah or Eternal Sonata???

I guess if I were an RPG fan who overpayed for a PS3 just to get FPS games, I'd probably have to start liking FPS games too <whispers> (or at least pretending to like it)!

[TriggerHippie]

BTW Fallout 3 is also comming out for PS3.

I love Guild Wars. This is good news for Ps3 owners....In regards to the Unreal and Haze being exclusive.....Well, its only exlclusive the end of 2007. The Same time Halo 3 is launching.... Both Unreal and Haze doesn't want to compete head to head with Halo 3. I think its a smart move. Let all the xbox gamers enjoy Halo 3 for a few months and then in 2008 drop Unreal and Haze on them. It gives both games a better chance of selling and being appreciated by xbox gamers. Smart move in my opinion. Its interesting how Ps3 fans are super excited about those two "Shooters"....don't you think. Well, I have both the 360 and the Ps3...and I plan on waiting for both Haze and Unreal until they release on the 360.... If the past year and a half is any indication.....Both will look and play better on the 360...but most importantly....Shooters are best played with friends...and xbox live has over 7 million gamers connected and growing 1 every 8 seconds. But no company....Epic....ect.....rea lly wants to release a shooter in teh same window as Halo 3.....We all know Halo 3 will be the biggest selling game of the 2007....And Unreal releasing in 2008 has a shot at being the biggest selling title for the 360 in 2008. Like Gears was for 2006.

But that NC Soft Deal is definately good news. With the 360 having the excellent Fable and many other RPG exclusives.....The ps3 badly needed something...and NC Soft will definately make a good game.

I read in a few posts before mine that the ps3 has the same games the 360 is getting minus 2. lol....

1. Scene It
2. Viva Pinata Party Animals
3. Castle Wolfenstein
4. Thrillville on the Rails
5. Army of Two
6. Halo 3
7. Mass Effect
8. Bio Shock
9. GTA 4 with exclusive Episodes
10. Banjo Kazooie
11. Lost Odyssey
12. Blue Dragon
13. Eternal Senata
14. Fable 2
15. Ace Combat 6
16. Civilization
17. Final Fantasy XI wings of Goddess
18. Time Shift
19. Too Human

These are all games showing at E3 in the Microsoft Booths folks...Games that the Ps3 isn't getting fokls....Now you add to this list all the cross platform games that will look and play better on the 360 with xbox live features.....WOW...Thats unbelievable fokls. MS's press conference didn't drop any bombs...but they are continuing to lead the next generation easily with all the great exclusive "Games" being released this year. Sony's conference had 2 announcements that are for Shooters that is timed exclusive for a couple months....And they announced 3rd party games that are on the 360 or coming to the 360 first or the same time....Those arent wins for Sony. For sony to say " we have what you have but yours looks and plays better"...isn't a win for Sony folks. And to brag about 2 games being exclusive for 2007 and both come out at the end of 2007 is a sad attempt to get some sort of edge...lol....

So while yes the Sony press conference did what Sony needed it to do....The Ms actual show is where the proof is.....The games releasing this year is where the excitement is...

[The great 1]

LET'S PRETEND I'M STANDING IN FRONT OF YOU AND YOU JUST RAMMBLED OUT THAT SH!TE TO ME, I THEN LOOK AT YOU AND I'M NOT VERY IMPRESSED, WHAT DOES THAT TELL YOU?

AS FOR THE 360 HAVING MORE GAMES, THAT'S FUNNY BECAUSE MOST OF THE GAMES ARE EITHER ON PS2, MEANING THERE BUILT FOR LAST GEN, THERE CRAP, THE BEST OF THE MULTIPLATFORM GAMES TO COME OUT IN THE LAST YEAR ARE ON PS3 ALSO, GAMES THAT ARE MULTIPLATFORM AND ARE UPDATED YEARLY, HONESLT DO YOU GO BACK AND PLAY A VERSION FROM 2 YEARS AGO, DO YOU CONSIDER THAT VERSION TO BE BETTER, MY POINT NEWER=BETTER, YOUR ARGUMENTS ABOUT 360 HAVING MORE GAMES ARE USLESS YOU JUST FUKIN POWERED YOU WEAKLING, also Ace Combatt 6 iws comming to PS3, Timeshit and Army of 2 are multiplatforn, no they don't play or look better on Xbox 360, that's just bullsh!t that MS fanboys want to believe, do you know why i think they are better on PS3, because i don't have the sound of fan sounding like it's gonna explode while i'm playing games, u sir just got owned and so did the other MS fanboys on this site, POG whinning biatch he is hahaha hahahahha!

[N4GayFanturds]

Did you drop your pacifier?? Somebody pissed you off, huh? Truth hurts.

[Scions Wrath]

Unreal tournament 3! Haze! Getting PS3 versions!

[TeaDouble_E]

Its good to be a PS3 owner , we got hooked up with more features for less and better games : )

[peyotiux]

How come when one of the two consoles (PS3 and Xbox360) gets an exclusive, even if its a timed exclusive, there’s always people going ”oh yeaahh but you wont get this and that”, man do you guys really need to reassure your purchase that way. I still don’t own any of the two consoles, but im leaning towards the PS3 because it has (or will have) the games I want. I will probably miss out on some good games that come out on the 360 but for my taste in games I just happen to think that the PS3 its better.

In short words

If you like HALO get a 360

If you like Metal Gear get a PS3

If you are overweight get a Wii

Its that simple, stop with the fanboyism already
