GameTap: Unreal Tournament 3 - Xbox 360 gamers can now join the UT3 party

GameTap writes: "It simply felt a little weird to be playing Unreal Tournament 3 on the PC and the PS3, but not the Xbox 360. After all, Epic's Unreal Engine works fine and dandy on both consoles, and previous Unreal titles have graced the Xbox. Well, while Epic took a bit of extra time to get UT3 running on the Xbox 360, it's also used this time to add some extra content for this version as well.

The main addition can be summarized with just one word: maps. There's a whole lot more maps out of the box for the Xbox 360 version. For one thing, the maps that have been available as bonus downloadable content for the other versions are already bundled in this version. Additionally, there will be five new maps exclusive to the Xbox 360 version."

Not worth buying if it doesn't have any mod support. UT without the mods just lol.

kewlkat0076279d ago

of the "open" architecture of the PC and now the PS3, but sheesh, when you look at it every "shooter" could implement Mod support if they wanted to, but we still buy other shooters, that have limited Maps, as well as "DLC" maps so "not worth buying" is ludicrous.

Does that mean if it had Mod support, PS3 fans would be praising it? Knowing it will look more polished + Mods? I doubt it, there would be some other sh^t to whine about or downplay.

So why does it matter, really, PS3 fans already have and played this game. Well I heard, hardly anyone playing it much online though.

I hear it all the time, if this game was to debut on the 360 first and the PC, we would of heard the "I'm getting it for PC, as it will be the best version". I rarely see 360 fans that said, "I'm getting it on the PC instead", when it came out for the PS3 and PC platform. There is always a reason why one would pick the PS3 version of a multi-plat game, even if the 360 version was superior in any way.

Personally, I've taken a break from shooters. Been playing XBL + PSN games and RPG's. Waiting for fighters and probably NG2.

Aparently not worth buying at all concidering the fact that the first and only game to have mod on a console also was a flopped in terms of sales... One would think that the all might and powerful mod master UT for the PS3 would sell like hot cakes... correct me if I am wrong if gamers (specially PS3 gamers) would care so much about mods don't you think this game would sell at record levels?

Now I wonder what developers would say if the xbox 360 version sells more companies than the PS3 even without mods...

ohh and be sure that Microsoft is going to allow mods eventually; that is if it's worth the trouble... sadly the PS3 didn't seem to prove it was worth the trouble since it flopped in terms of sells... and even a COD4 map pack sells more copies in 7 days than this game...

If the PS3 version would of sell like crazy proving that the majority of people care about mods we would be having a different conversation...

Micrososft will add mods when it worth having mods... maybe developers one day can add the editor directly into the game in order not to create security holes...

power of Green 6280d ago

Forget what the troll Rick Astley" says if you like fragging buy it its better than the PS3 version no one knows about the mods.

Fishy Fingers6279d ago (Edited 6279d ago )

I kind of agree. MoDs would be more difficult on 360 gamers. The lack of browser on the console means you'd be forced to get them from a PC. But with the PS you can simply just their browser, and just easily DL PS compatible MoDs with just one click. load UT 3 clicks later your mods is installed and ready to use.

No one bought the thing for the PS3. All those mods didn't help it move out the door.

more maps on dvd9...
better graphics on 360
splitscreen

and of course million copies sold.. another company that will in future choose the 360 as their lead plattform.

YES we ALL KNOW, without mods ut3 is crap.. same like gears is crap on 360 because the pc version has mods right?? hahaha

Ah, and dont forget they had 6 months more time, thats why it looks better.. although at the beginning ut3 was ps3 exklusive, rofl!

More maps?

PS3 version started with 40 maps. 2 free DL maps in feb. And over 100 extra maps that you can DL through mod support.

We have over 60 mutators not counting the standard ones included with the game.

We have over 40 different characters NOT counting the original standard ones. Including green power ranger. Your idol if I remember correctly.

So what do you have?

5 extra maps? LOL how many maps are you even starting out with? 5? That makes it 10 in total no?

Splitscreen mode.

WOW I can truly see how PS3 owners got SHAFTED here, xbot. The reason why you are getting some additional stuff is because you dont have mod support. Pretty much, you have to settle for the next best thing. Which is some additional content that they include.

WOW YOU HAVE US BEAT, XBOT Hahaha.

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?

TheOptimist2560d 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.

XentaJones2559d ago

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

OpenGL2559d ago

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

TheSplooge2559d ago

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

Mr_Wilson2559d 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).

c00lvilKid693390d 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.

esmittystud1013390d ago (Edited 3390d ago )

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

wakeNbake3390d ago

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

mezati993390d ago
