An interview with Unreal Tournament 3 producer Jeff Morris at Gameplayer confirms some features and leaks some interesting bits of news. PC vs. X360 multiplayer still under consideration, 40-odd Maps and more. The article also includes about thirteen pics, some of which appear to be new.
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).
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
in my opinion, this is a overrated shooter. the graphics look great, but too fast of a gameplay. run and shoot. i don't think it will be great like gears of war.
i respect your opinion, but you can't deny that UT3 will be a great game. I can't wait to play against PC owners, and im looking forward to play against 360 owners too. It'll be cool.
but I <3 it.
Reading that 360 Vs PC cross platform play is still being considered is awesome.
Every MP game should ship with 40 maps! lol
There goes the UT3 runs better on the PS3
Gameplayer: The game spans three formats, have you been confronted with any major design issues in the production of this game as a result?
Jeff Morris: Not especially other than it’s the equivalent of 3 separate games when it comes to the end phase. Things like QA are basically 3 times the work, but ultimately the game looks and plays virtually identically on all 3 platforms.
Unreal will master next-gen ut3 on the ps3.
Rock on ps3!!!
