E3 2007: UT3 (Xbox 360 version) Delayed
Xbox 360 version of UT3 delayed while PS3 and PC versions are still on track for a 2007 release.
After being mocked and taunted by the entire Xbox 360 fraternity for a while now, PS3 owners finally have something to smile about since Midway yesterday announced that Unreal Tournament 3 would ship for the PS3 and the PC in 2007 but the Xbox 360 version would only see the light of day sometime in 2008. If that wasn’t bad enough, the PS3 version will also be able to play user created mods made on the PC, a feature that has not been confirmed for the Xbox 360 version.
"We feel very confident that Unreal Tournament 3 will continue to deliver on Epic's promise to gamers to develop only the highest quality titles using our cutting-edge Unreal Engine 3 technology," said Mark Rein, vice president and co-founder, Epic Games. "The game takes full advantage of the power of the PS3 system, and Unreal Tournament 3 will for the first time allow users to create robust user created content, known as "mods", on the PC version and play them on the PS3 system. We're extremely excited about this and we feel this will bring a level of creativity, innovation and replayability not previously seen on home consoles."
More from News AnalysisNash, as he prefers being called, woke up to the wonders of gaming rather late but don't bring that up around him. It's a touchy subject. A self confessed Battlefield veteran, Nash spent a good part of 2010 on the Steam Battlefield - with Bad Company (see what we did there?). He has a zero tolerance policy towards RTS games but is currently showing an interest by picking up and moving people - who he refers to as units - in the office. Thank God he's not that enthusiastic about Angry Birds or we'd be seeing women flying all over the place. Bali... Bali, put the receptionist down now.
