In before 2008!
Just like how Epic Games slid Unreal Tournament III for the PS3 in before the holidays, QuickSave got their review up right before the new year.
From Quicksave:
"Unreal Tournament III (formerly known as Unreal Tournament 2007) is quite the "revolutionary" game for the console world, but aside from all these bells, whistles and technical flare, how does the game itself stack up? Do the visuals (as Epic claimed) exceed those of Epic's Gears of War for the XBOX 360? Is the single player a real single player? Is mod support working? I spent time and sought the answers to these questions and here are my findings."
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
When will our European brother's get to play it? Does anyone know?
I would like to also encourage you to wait for the 360 version (if you have one).
The preview screen shots are AMAZING. Crystal clear....much better than the PS3 version right now. They might patch it though and fix it. The PS3 seems to be having an endless supply of problems with their software.
Yet another great review for Epic's jewel! I'm most likely gettin this on New Years Day. Can't wait for it. I discourage any1 who is planning on getting it for xbox.
The full experience of this game is either on the PS3 or PC. Plus w/ By April, (which is supposedly the release date for the xbox360 version) this game will get a price cut and it will get even better when HOME comes out! Trust me.
An only PC and PS3 owners will be able to face against each other. Not PC and 360 owners. This is truly an Epic game!
"An only PC and PS3 owners will be able to face against each other."
Wrong. There's no cross-platform play in any of the versions.
i love reparing things with the link gun,especially the other team,it burns the meat off there bones.sweeeeeet!ONLINE MADNESS
