Unreal Tournament 3 Delayed Until 2008

Midway today announced revised estimates for the its third quarter ended September 30, 2007, and fiscal year ending December 31, 2007. Midway revealed that Unreal Tournament 3 will not be hitting the PS3 until the first quarter of 2008. The title was originally announced to release this November along side the PC version.

Also changed was the release date of Stranglehold for the PS3 into the Fourth Quarter of 2007 and lower sales for Blacksite: Area 51 for the PS3 and Xbox 360.

David F. Zucker, president and chief executive officer, commented, "While we regret that these delays will cause us to lose some valuable holiday sales in the near term as well as shift revenue for some of these titles out of 2007 and into 2008, we remain confident that our technology strategy and product plan position us to grow both revenue and market share as we move into the heart of this console cycle. Looking ahead to 2008, with our core technology platform now in place, we expect to release a number of titles, including already announced console versions of Unreal Tournament 3, a next generation installment of our NBA Ballers franchise, Wheelman, and TNA iMPACT! the video game. We also expect to release several as-yet unannounced titles such as next generation versions of our hit franchises Blitz and Mortal Kombat, and two exciting new ambitious open world games. We intend to give more details on our 2008 release schedule in the near future."

We'll keep you updated.

I guess Midway themselves are "xboxfangirls" as you so elequently put it.

QuackPot6313d ago (Edited 6313d ago )

Important 3rd Party developers like Epic know that 2008 is the year to release their games for the Ps3

I'm expecting more delays from others in the know.

DELAY = EVIDENCE 2008 IS BEST FOR SALES.

We all know that 2008 is going to be the year when everything changes....even game developers.

Man strangle hold STILL is not out for PS3 yet? another game that will be $30 bucks on the 360 by the time it is on the PS3 for $60

cartman3136313d ago

Have you seen Stranglehold? Talk about pure crap. I wouldn't pay 5 bucks for that trash.

toughNAME6313d ago

Sony just shouldnt put release dates on their games

just release when its finished ...so...no delays

But this is really getting to be too much

and what about all the big PS3 games coming out in in Spring 2008?
who releases a game in spring? they will most likely be pushed back too

achira6313d ago

nice job microsoft. f*** bustards.

chester6313d ago

what the hell are you talking about?

Xi6313d ago

it must be Microsoft's fault. Oh and butterfly in japan caused Hurricane Katrina right? Grow up.

mcgrawgamer6313d ago

What the hell does microsoft have to do with this? I know your not gonna speak on this like some kind of conspiracy theory against Sony? Epic is the one the most well respected, honest, and truly independent dev's out there just like blizzard, and valve. They answer to no one and support all. I'm sure they have a explanation as to why they had to delay the game.

power0919996313d ago

What does MS have to do with this?

Xi6313d ago

that MS paid midway to delay the game.

Daxx6313d ago

Ever thought it could be Midway's or Epic's fault?

No of coarse not, It always has to be Microsoft.

MS DOESN'T EVEN OWN THE IP YOU F*CKTARD!

Report: The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remake Is Real; First Gameplay Improvement Details Revealed

A former Virtuos employee has confirmed the existence of The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remake and revealed improvements to gameplay.

RaidenBlack11h ago

Intrigued that the project went from being a Remaster to being " “fully remade,” hinting at significant changes in this reimagining compared to the original game. " But also surprised that this won't be the surprise game at the latest Xbox Direct.
So, what will that be?

RaidenBlack10h ago

Oh somebody just tweeted that it'd be a JRPG

XiNatsuDragnel10h ago

Skyblivion vs this it'll be great competition

RaidenBlack10h ago(Edited 10h ago)

I am looking to double dip,
But both in 2026 coz pretty certain, both will ship with some bugs at launch

-Foxtrot9h ago

Crazy to think that if hypothetically Skyblivion comes off more impressive and does more compared to an official remake then it’s going to be super awkward for the studio.

Maybe Bethesda should have let them make Fallout 3 first or at least do Morrowind.

RaidenBlack8h ago

Skyblivion is a 1:1 remake in Skyrim engine
whereas this one seems to be offering some enhancements in gameplay i.e QoL updates
So ... will totally depend on if the enhancements are worth it.
Who knows, both might offer different experiences whilst in-game.
I'll be supporting Skyblivion and Skywind more coz of the projects' legacies.

-Foxtrot9h ago

Really hope they’ve fixed the level scaling issues

Cancelled Games That Still Upsetti My Spaghetti

As a wise man once said: what be will, be will, and sometimes games just get canceled, whether it’s due to publisher meddling, a lack of funds or the creative vision simply not panning out.

Eight Days for me

Really would have enjoyed a buddy cop game with a Lethal Weapon like tone.

helicoptergirl21h ago

The only one that really bothered me was when Sony wouldn't fund Days Gone 2. That announcement made me literally feel nauseous. I felt sick in the guts. That's the first time Sony had done something that actually physically hurt me lol. I'm still bummed that there won't be a Days Gone 2.

Sony is so far ahead of everyone else it's crazy. I just wish I could be around 70 years from now. Sony gaming is going to be out there.

Wait a minute... this is a holodeck. Talk about burying the lead.

Michiel19892d ago

you'll be able to smell Aloy's farts

anast2d ago

That's what you are saying.

Michiel19892d ago

I can smell it from a mile away

XiNatsuDragnel5d ago

It's interesting especially in competitive gaming lol

Rainbowcookie3d ago

Imagine sending a scent message in a online game? It gives new meaning to "I fart in your general direction" 😅

S2Killinit3d ago

Lol 😂

But aside from that, it would be interesting to breathe the scents of the scene you are in like a beach/island, snowy mountain, smell grass from a grassland/marsh, etc.

Knushwood Butt2d ago

Silent Hill 2 would be interesting!
