FUCKING AWESOME!
I'm hoping my PC will be able to run this game well, I really can't afford an upgrade right now nor will I be able to once the game is released. But I'll be pre-ordering the CE as soon as its available here.
A Polycount challenge or something to get some assets into the game would be really sweet, not that I would ever finish seeing as I never finish these challenges
One of my first 3D characters was meant to be a UT2k3 character... Bit of useless trivia.

ok um, UT3 special edition is NOT available for pre order yet. LIERS.

damn and it took you this long...lol...yeah it's not yet... but it should be soon is what I was told. They are just waiting on Epic to officially announce it and the price.
I just pre-pre-ordered my copy. Basically the same thing as Jesse just said, waiting on official announcement, then the dude from EB will give me a call to confirm for which platform I want to pre-order.
YEAH BOOOYYYY!

I'd actually like to remake my old UT2k4 character for UT3. The thought of normal maps, specular maps and animated shader fx makes my knees weak!

it would be awesome seeing the difference, kind of like when they showed malcom between ut/2k4/2k7
Lots of people who have a 360 and bought Gears have no idea who we are, they are not the pc crowd, thats why the tagline Jimmies. It sounds silly to you because you knew UT before Gears, but a few million did not so it makes sense to make it clear to all the Gear's guys that we also make other games.

exactly... but it's going to sell them 2 million more copies of the game.. sadly enough.
edit: err, not sad that the game will sell more, sad that they need to put that on there to sell more, obviously - UT SHOULD be the bigger name there, and speak for itself.. 'from the makers of unreal tournament, bitches'
The soundtrack or at least part of it is up on the site now. I'm really liking it quite a bit. Is there going to be a soundtrack CD eventually? That'd be great.

I just think it's ridiculous that the feel they need to cater to the console crowd with this. Unreal Tournament was and always will be at home on the pc.
Actually, in this case catering to the console crowd may be good. See, the PS3 version allows for mouse & keyboard and it runs PC mods. What this means is that they're helping turn console gaming into PC gaming, which means less of those pesky dumbed down console games for us
It may also help the mod scene tremendously. UT2003/4 had more people modding it than playing it, which led to abso-fucking-lutely ridiculous masses of amazing content being ignored and wasted because the player base couldn't support it all. A couple million console players could help alleviate that problem, especially since there's nothing else to play on PS3.
As ror said, saying "from the makers of Gears" was just a no-brainer, they'd be idiots if they didn't. Fucking get over yourselves :P
Seriously though, having ut3 on the ps3 is huge, but I can't believe mods will be playable as well--that's amazing and will do wonders for the scene. I. Can't. Wait! The only problem is that you might have to buy a keyboard/mouse to work with the ps3... well a keyboard anyway since most keyboards still use ps2 connectors, not usb.

true.. I'm going to need a new computer anyway which probably wont happen this year.. plus theres halo 3/tf2/cod4/rock band to play the shit out of this year
a note about PPM's - UT3 has customizable characters, and with proper setup, PPM's can also be customizable, and existing models/teams can be customized in bits. In other words, you can make your own shoulderpad-pack, new arms, boots, chests, legs, and head accessories to existing characters in the game, as well as your own custom characters as you see fit.
It requires a little more planning with your UV maps and bits/pieces, and i can't wait to see what some of you crazy dudes come up with
Could do some cool stuff with this, like evolving the SDK into a base dude/chick model, then everyone contributes with bits and pieces.
I can't go into specifics of how characters need to be set up atm, but as time goes on will try to spread some love

Awesome man, I was just wondering if the deluxe edition would include the whole "extras" with how to get your character in game. I know modeling around the pre-existing skeleton to use the karma and animations already in game was a big help for those of us not looking to fully rig and animate our characters.
Although, I would love to team up with an animator for this one!
Pre-existing skeleton would be great! I think one character needs tons of animations and that would make a lot of people hesitate to make his own character. But changing bits is areally cool alternative. What about changeing only the head?

Oh HELL YEAH.
I BETTER get my LE this time. I got screwed over last time because 'we didn't receive any copies of the LE in, sorry'. such bullshit. I'm gonna pre order at two stores just in case. FUCKERS.
I should spend the next few months until this game is released become a master of the three-dimensional medium. JUST so I can preserve my love for that fucking two legged death machine crafted of flesh, and vile alien BEEF.
Really looking forward to this game! I know i'll definitely try and get a character into the game. Pity they had to push back the release date though. But I'm sure it'll be worth it once it is released.
This is probably a noob question but will levels that get started in the Roboblitz editor be able to load up in the UT3 editor without having to rebuild?
random fact: Unreal Tournament (demo) was the first demo to get me to actually buy the game based on the demo. I played it for a month solid non stop until I actually got the money to buy the GOTY edition. Love it.

probably depends on how you built them and if you used any shaders/scripts/etc that were coded by the roboblitz team. Probably won't matter though, from what I understand, roboblitz is just a stripped-down version of unreal3, they probably didn't add a whole lot of unique code.
Ok, not really...
Preload for Subscribers: http://www.fileplanet.com/promotions/ut3/
If you are not a Subscriber you can reserve a download spot, hopefully that works.
The maps DM-HeatRay, DM-ShangriLa and VCTF-Suspense are in the demo.
Cant wait to kick some ass!
I had reserved the download and to my surprise it is on my laptop right now. What a sweet way to wake up in the morning. I have Call of Duty 4 and UT3 now. Ahhhh it's gonna be a good weekend.
