Epic's Mark Rein has re-confirmed that he erm, cannot confirm a solid release date for Unreal Tournament III on Xbox 360.
"We don't have a specific release date yet," the Epic VP told CVG, in response to magazine reports to the contrary. "Right now we're finishing up the European PS3 version."
It was released on the PlayStation 3 last month in North America but there's still no European date and no word on how much lead Sony will have over the Xbox 360 version.
Opinion is divided on this one for sure! Is motion blur good for gaming? Why do developers include it?
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.
I agree with Alex here, many implementations are terrible but when it is done right it improves the experience.

“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).
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.
Its basically a "console" ahead, in terms of graphics, of another shooter called Homefront thats getting ready to release. LOL
Great selections as always and they are...
Final Fantasy
Metal Gear Solid
Super Smash Bros.
Crypt of the Necrodancer
Unreal Tournament
Advance Wars
Payday 2
The only lead that the PS3 version will have on the 360 version is what MS give them.
It'll be interesting to see how much MS dig their feet in on this mods issue and allowing user content.
Good... now tell us consumers that cliffy b. is working on GoW 2 plz

Yea no worries it's not that the 360 really needs UT3 any time soon.
Relax Rein, no one wants UT3 for the 360 anyways.
Just drop this project and pump all the extra effort in GOW2.
Thank you !
They really hurt themselves by not releasing this on the Xbox 360 at the same time as the PS3, this game bombed pretty hard especially compared to the success Epic just had a little over a year ago when they partnered with Microsoft for the Xbox 360 for Gears of War.
I think that the hype for this game is dead now and that the 360 version will not sell anywhere near the potential it could have had for both Epic and Midway.
I played the hell out of UT2k4 on PC but honestly I dont really have any plan to purchase UT3 or give it another look
It's time to move on and get to work on Gears of War 2, which will easily sell millions
