Despite its strong PC heritage, Unreal Tournament 3 has become one of the more anticipated games in the PlayStation 3's holiday lineup, due to its vaguely exclusive status (the Xbox 360 version won't be out until some time next year, and may not feature user mod support like the PS3 version does).
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).
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.
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
"Sensitivity and keyboard key mappings (but not mouse button mappings)"
oh are you f'ing kidding me? no mouse button mappings? wow, just wow. first time ive read that, wow. i might go crazy.
I will most likely use a mouse and a keyboard for this game.
Interesting preview. I think it will outsell the PC version for two reasons. No competition on the PS3 for this type of game and not a lot of PC owners can actually run the game.
This game is gonna be fun as hell. I wanna buy it now..... but i dont know if my G/f is gonna buy it for me for christmas or not....
I dont know what to doo... maby ill buy The Orange Box for now..
some people do not realize what this game will do for PS3.
This game just ensures that all future Unreal Engine 3 games will be awesome on PS3. Like Gears optimized the UE3 for 360, UT3 does that for PS3. Only better(according to Mark Rein himself).
Expect future Unreal Engine 3 based games to have mod support on PS3 beside PC too !!
I cant wait to see some of those great makeover Mods working on my PS3.
I hope PSU will have a MOD page for UT3 like the themes !!!
