Thanks Sony. No UT3 for PC/360 until 2008.

Post by **o'dium** » Thu Jul 12, 2007 7:56 am

Sony just gave Epic a big wad of cash. So big in fact, that the November release date for UT3 on all formats has been changed to just PS3.

PC/360 gamers will get the game "early 2008".

You could say I'm a little pissed...

This is how PC gaming will die eventually.

Thats true, I wouldn't. Because then it would be released on both PC and 360 at the same time, or at least on a system people own.

I can wait a couple of months if it's good

also, hawt visuals do not a good MP game make, and judging from UT's track record I won't be betting that this will be OMGAWSUM

so, meh

The PS3 -and- PC versions are shipping in November, with a delayed-release 360 version. Same thing they'd planned before the 360 SKU was announced.

oh ffs...

So in other words, the game will drop on PS3 and be a pile of shit, giving them enough time to fix it for the other platforms.

It will be out for the PS3 and PC at the same time. November. Only the XBOX one is delayed.

OMG, that totally makes me have to go out and buy a PS3, can't wait 6 months for UT3 on my 360. If Sony wants to spend their limited (compared to Microsoft) money on having UT3 for a while before the 360, go ahead, but if I were them I would spend it on some better advertising, that wasn't so strange.

UT2004 was great fun if you didn't take it seriously.

Post by **Grudge** » Fri Jul 13, 2007 11:45 am

no it wasn't

Sales numbers and people online suggest otherwise. Go back to playing Q3 with picmip 16 then.

Post by **Grudge** » Fri Jul 13, 2007 12:08 pm

Actually, I went on to play BF1942 and BF2 instead. Much better games.

Post by **o'dium** » Fri Jul 13, 2007 12:12 pm

Now I know you are taking the piss.

Post by **Grudge** » Fri Jul 13, 2007 12:13 pm

Ok, let me reword that. Much more fun to play.

Post by **Nightshade** » Fri Jul 13, 2007 12:16 pm

I thought UT2004 was a hell of a lot of fun, especially Assault. You'd have to be some sort of bitter Swedish interaction designing nerd to think otherwise.
The BF games were a blast as well, even BF2 after it was fixed.
