X-Play: Unreal Tournament III Review

BIoodmask|6144d ago |Review|10|

The real meat is online though, and Unreal Tournament 3 doesn't disappoint. Rock solid framerates even during intense, large matches, and stable connections help make the game one of the best online fights out there. Although games like Halo 3 have a devoted following purely for their multiplayer, UT3 has an appeal all its own, with enough style and refinement to warrant a place in the online hall of fame.

i watched this on tv earlier today...they do metion that it comes with all the dlc maps and a few extra maps, but they seemed to forget to mention the user made maps (or the mods)that you can do with the ps3 or the keyboard & mouse support...hmmn...i just think a good review would mention that...

harrisk9546143d ago

but, I am telling you that G4 in general, and XPlay specifically, does some stuff that "appears" to be biased against the PS3. This is an example. When UT3 was released for the PS3 last year, XPlay did a review and called it a "Multiplatform" title, even though the 360 version was not even given a release date yet at that time. In that review, they failed to even mention that it was only available for the PS3 at the time. Now, the 360 version is released and they do a 360-only review of the same game and fail to mention the shortcomings of the 360 version, such as the fact that it doesn't support the user generated mods like the PS3 version. I don't know, but this kind of stuff really annoys me about Xplay... in fact, there have been games that are multiplatform that are released simultaneously on both systems and Xplay still presents them as 360-only titles. I see it all the time.

They were right actually. You seem to forget that UT3 was ALSO on the PC and was for nearly a month before it was available on the PS3 in North America...

So when a PS3 game is also on PC, but not 360 - it's multiplatform...

But when a 360 game is also on PC, but not PS3 - it's an "exclusive"

I think they don't call it multi because it talks a lot about the split screen mode and new maps which not available on the other platforms.

morganfell2504d ago

The issue with motion blur is the implementation of the feature is based on a misperception of the human senses. We experience motion blur all the time in our everyday lives as we turn our head and look around. But the reality is we are unaware it is occurring. In games they have made the sensation overt and thus it is unrealistic. To many people it is annoying and for a few, sickening.

The same is partially true with headbob. In actuality, it occurs to varying degrees depending upon things as gait, skeletal structure, etc. But as we matured our brains rapidly developed compensation mechanisms such as your eye rotation almost imperceptibly up and down. They have made the sensation overt in many games and depending upon how it is instituted it can provide an unrealistic experience for the gamer.

UltraNova2504d ago

Correct on all accounts. Human sensory physiology has evolved greatly. Did you know that the level of Retinal Persistence ( "motion blur") from person to person differs greatly depending on the amount of the specific retinal cells that help detect movement? There have been reports of people not experience motion blur at all due to eye morphology irregularities cause by genetics, or enviromental damage etc. As for how its done in games it greatly depends on the effect's intensity and quality, sometimes its done right and sometimes its not; even then some people will still find MB disturbing while others wont even notice its there. Its kinda like VR, some people can take while some can't.

Motion blur is annoying and interferes with my ability to play FPS. I expect to be able to see things as clearly as my eyes allow me to, so stop adding distortions to the game that interfere with my ability to aim.

Developers thinking that motion blur adds anything to the experience are 100% WRONG and should stop it.

Dragonopolis2504d ago

I'm not a big fan of all those effects either if possible the first thing that is turned off is motion blur...

I also don't like lens glare especially in a game that is first person view..... for me it often breaks the immersion.....

why is there lens glare in a game world with no cameras? I wear glasses and lighting does not reflect that dramatic even if the excuse was a visor or glasses..........
In a game that could justify or make sense of lens glare, I still find that game developers have overly done/over intensified the lens glare/flare and it just becomes a distraction..........

Someone above mention depth of field.... Now that one if done correctly, I can handle but I still want the option to turn it off or adjust the intensity in game if the dev/pub over does it (and depth of field is often over done) for whatever game...........

Maybe devs just need to tone all effects back just a bit (probably worse now with HDR ha!) haven't updated my set still enjoying my Plasma TV I have had for a few years still got inky blacks/fantastic contrast and color :-)

Let’s be Honest, DOOM Looks like the Best First Person Shooter We’ve Seen in Ages

c00lvilKid69|3335d ago |Opinion piece|18|

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).

c00lvilKid693335d 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.

Not to be downer, but let's be real here. Doom will have some pre launch hype by it's fans who miss 'the glory days of shooters' but it will fizzle out quick within a month.

I'm not underestimating how popular this series is, it's just a different beast now, compared to back then. Now doom doesn't have to be this mega hit, but websites will be putting articles out trying to hype it up as if it will (or should be) because they are personal not into games like call of duty, which in return they know will get them a lot of support from people who also don't like it.

It just seems like websites have a standard 'hook em in' strategy book on how to present a article so gamers feed on it, now I know technically they have to do it to be successful, but I guess being on N4G this long I start seeing a pattern of familiarity with all the articles popping up daily.

Doom looks awesome and will be a must buy for me. But calling it the best fps seen in years is a stretch. Especially since the game is not out yet. Let's not get ahead of ourselves. High expectations is a killer.

c00lvilKid693335d ago

To be fair, the article says ages, not years. There’s also very little speculation, beside the bits about user-generated content being similar to other successful franchises and the game looking like Unreal. Personally speaking, the hype train has ruined a lot of games for me when they fail to live up to expectation, so I totally agree about not getting ahead of ourselves.

GrimDragon3335d ago

Well here's the thing....doom is sticking to what made the game great and that's good. But for me it dropped a notch by not including destructible environments and ballistic damage to objects. Blasting a hole through a wall to kill a bunch of imps on the other side would have been sick. Or a shoot out with a marine turned demon John woo style running and gunning for each other in a room full of stuff flying around from bullets flying would have really upped the awesomeness of this game keeping the old vibe with more realistic updated fps effects. Than I could say yeah it's been years.....I mean ages since I've seen something this awesome. From what I've seen it seems they are playing it safe catering to the nostalgia of those of us who grew up playing original doom. Doesn't seem they wanted to impact the formula to much probably because of the bad taste left in people's mouth from that last doom they made. Don't get me wrong the game looks like it's gonna be fun. But again to say the best we've seen in ages is rediculously a stretch and reaching way ahead of ourselves. At most doom is looking to be just above average. If you've ever played crisis on PC or half life or the countless fps that brought a lot to the table over the years.....I mean ages. you will see the anticipation for this game got people too cross eyed to think clearly before saying things like greatest fps in ages.

Maybe if you're a Destiny hater.

Not to take away from Doom, but if we're simply talking about combat, Destiny is so much more dynamic. Say what you will about content droughts and "non-existent story," but at least acknowledge that Destiny's gameplay is second to none.

The day a Destiny experience runs at 60 frames is the day it will be the greatest first person shooter gameplay of all time.

I'm keeping my eye on Overwatch, though.

Please don't disagree mob me for liking Destiny, I'm sorry guys! *shields face*
