Golden Times for PS3 Version of Unreal Tournament 3

Any kind of mods created for the PC version, including player created mods and customizations, can be loaded in the PlayStation 3 system which will bring a level of creativity, innovation and replayability not previously seen on home consoles.

All the technology behind the Unreal Engine 3, used in the PC version of the game, is said to be fully optimized for the PlayStation 3 system, which means that the game developers can take full advantage of its power and creativity. With mods and maps already available for the PC version of the game and with others announced, this feature is definitely not just dust in the wind. And it should allow the developers to start working on future releases, too.

The PlayStation 3 Version of Unreal Tournament 3 will be released to North American manufacturing and could show up in stores starting December 11th.The European release will occur later, though, because of some unfinished localization-related tasks. This means that early 2008 (January or February) is the best guess for European UT3 fans regarding the PlayStation 3 release.

mighty_douche6151d ago

mighty_douche6151d ago (Edited 6151d ago )

wasted bubble...

PS3PCFTW6150d ago

you act like you wont have PLENTY of awesome exclusives to waste your day away on...........not to mention bluray movies and the other ton of sh1t the ps3 can Do extrememely well.

damn. ps3 is starting to dominate. i always thought ps3 was to be released this november not in november 06.

Skerj6151d ago

Yarr, in the Binaries folder for the PC version there's a PS3 folder with the PS3tools file inside. And inside the frontend you can select PS3 as a platform for exporting and cooking. Epic really did score an epic win with this. Once the word gets out to the mass PS3 owners who have a passing interest or are guaranteed to pick this up about the longevity this will give the game, it should sell like awesomecakes. I wish there was a way they could offer the standalone editor for people with solely the PS3 version who want to step into modding instead of buying both.

mighty_douche6151d ago

but i cant see the PS3 getting its own editor, it would simply be to much work for Epic, thats if the console is even capatable (512mb?).

Skerj6151d ago

Nah not an editor inside the console, that would require too much work and you're right 512 isn't enough ram for it. I'm talking about a downloadable PC standalone version of the UnrealEd that comes with the PC UT3 and GoW for people who purchase the PS3 UT3.

mighty_douche6151d ago

thats a great idea, even if they give you some form of key with your PS3 copy, that way its not free/available to anybody!

but to be honest im sure you could find a way to get it anyway... *cough* torrent *cough*....

NanoGeekTech6150d ago

The possibilities of playing the same game on a console for years and years while at the same time experiencing totally new levels created by the people who really take gaming seriously all for free"Priceless"...I have never played it on PC...but really looking forward to this game for my PS3....

PS3 has linux, couldn't you just download the editor using that.? =/

mighty_douche6151d ago

i doubt the PC version even supports Linux, let alone that yellow dog (linux) doesnt support the RSX.

Edwin19896150d ago (Edited 6150d ago )

Unreal engine can run on openGL, so I think on PC linux the game will be playable

and I don't think the editor is going to use the GPU, because there aren't many 3d-editors (for example 3dsmax) that use the GPU, it's CPU only

PLUS: I agree with Mighty douche that Europe's being screwed...

AGAIN!! :(

BigKev456151d ago (Edited 6151d ago )

Mark the date - UT3 for PS3! US rules!

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?

TheOptimist2283d 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.

XentaJones2282d ago

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

OpenGL2282d ago

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

2282d ago
TheSplooge2282d ago

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

Mr_Wilson2282d 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).

c00lvilKid693113d 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.

esmittystud1013113d ago (Edited 3113d ago )

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

wakeNbake3113d ago

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

mezati993113d ago
