Unreal Tournament 3

1345
mod
the website is up:
http://www.unrealtournament3.com/us/

I don't know about you guys but this is one of my most anticipated titles. I absolutely loved UT and UT2k4 was great too. They have a lot of the soundtrack on the site as well to hear and it's just awesome.

I'm totally stoked, it's a shame my computer will barely be able to handle it (can't wait till I upgrade...) and sad that the 360 version got pushed back. Will this make me buy a ps3? well.. probably not because I don't want to own 3 copies of the game XD.

UT3 will be in stores this November for PC/PS3 and early next year for 360.

    Maybe I'll hold off on my next level design until after this comes out.

    I'll probably have to build that new system I was planning around the new year.

    ... and I don't know about you lot, but I wholly look forward to absolutely pwning some ps3-owning wussies if that whole pc /ps3 DM think is happening like they talked about. laugh.gif

    I'm stoked as well!

    Curious, will it be a games for windows title (I hope not)?

    Will the PS3 and PC version be interplayable online, and will the PC version be penalized while the PS3 version is given bonuses to movement (alah the mouse versus joystick FPS debate [debate? more like kicking a dead horse])?

    I talked to one of the Shadowrun developers, and above is exactly what they had to do for Xbox vs Vista versions, but even then he thought the mouse still came out on top.

    Yea I agree, I thought the website is great. I'm looking forward to playing this, I kinda hated some gameplay aspects in past UT games. Hopefully it plays as good as it looks, you'll only know for sure once you start playing.

    I am buying a new system next week just for this and have been holding off till this was closer to coming out. The UT series is my favorite FPS series of all time.

    My next project for my portfolio is going to be a 3-4 player DM level.

    Can anyone confirm hoverboards? I saw a screenshot of some guys riding something with some sort of lighting tether to a Manta.

    edit ---- saw the board in a vid... OMFG! skatepark Deathmatch FTFW!

    warhawk, ut3, prologue ... might be a good time to snatch those 60gig ps3s while they last..

    i love that the ps3 will be able to run any pc created mods too, that's gonna rawk hard. a lot of my friends are getting the ps3 version, as they don't have or need good pcs. i'll be getting the pc version so i can mod it to hell and back, and w00p my friends :P
  • bounchfx
    yes, there are definitely hover boards lol, and I do not believe there is cross platform play. at least I haven't heard anything about it.

    Also, it is NOT a games for windows title despite epic recently announcing that they built in support for it into UE3 XD

    I don't think it is going to be on the Games for Windows platform because of it being multiplatform with the PS3.

    As far as the "assist" for console players, I have been playing Shadowrun a lot lately for the 360 and you can usually tell who is a PC player who is a 360 player. But I have to say, that the best players I have seen have all been on the 360. Advanced console players usually set their sensitivity really high which makes it harder to aim, but you can turn around a lot quicker and movement is a lot more smooth. Personally when I have my sensitivity on high or highest I play better on the 360 than I do the PC version. I am excited to see how Epic will balance their systems out.

    I really do not think there's cross platform. there is some demand for it, though. If you hear any official info on this let us know

    about cross platform I thought not, however in a interview recently they said maybe. was it an old interview and now they will have cross platform?

    PS3 will have mouse and keyboard support.
    (any usb for those who didnt know or and are intrested.)

    Im buying a new comp for sure when this comes out :P

    Yea, I can see a big dilemma if they did make it cross. Shadowbane is a new IP, so it can have that "balance" built in. If Epic tried to make the PC features a little more sluggish or something other in the PC version, the established audience would be in a huge uproar.

    Ditto to both. I have been bugging and asking the guys at my local Ebgames and they haven't heard of one yet (CE).

    LINKY PLEASE!

    Well whatever the case, the normal version better not be Cds. :P

    EDIT:

    Artbook?

    HELL YEA..

    Shit, I don't see it listed on ebgames. I hope they change their minds, or this is part of their shift of giving PC players the shaft with store space. I know if I have to get a refund to buy it somewhere else, I will be screwed since they require receipts.

    D:

    UT2k4's art style was really fucking generic and unimaginative. But now that they have hawkprey onsite, the designs are... just... *sniff* i love you hawkprey blush.gif

    Seriously though, I can't believe the amount of detail they have going on there. Anyone know how many 3d artists they got on the project?

    Is anyone interested in a Polycount collaboration effort to make an all-original-content map for UT3 after it's release?

    ...We could make a contest for the overall design and after the general look is down we can put together more detailed concepts and then split the work up into teams and stuff... I dunno, just an idea.

    Ditto! Im already working on a character now (given its more of a joke and pushing my skill level, but I still hope to get it working*).

    *Not going to animate it though. Hope they come out with a animation package like they did for 2003 with all the moped/biped data.

    i'd actually love to see some of the dominance war entries put into UT3... MoPs would be awsome in some cases, Spacemonkeys entry from the previous war would be friggin ownage...

    AAAARG!!!

    i'm SO up for a collaboration! we could all just model something that personifies us as a 3d character (how we would see ourselves in the Unreal universe) and then have a big free for all to see who's the best :P

    warning: contest not judged on artistic talent, but on how many frags you can score!

    A lot of us are already using UE3 and know a lot of the ins and outs.

    So much talent around here it would be cool to do a few dm levels and such.
