New details on Unreal Tournament 3
A feature story in the latest Official Xbox Magazine has revealed some new details about
Epic Games' upcoming
Unreal Tournament 3 as well as some hype-tacular words by lead designer Steven Polge. Additions to the game include:
- Four-player co-op and two-player split-screen in the single-player campaign
- 18 vehicles and five types of turrets
- Hoverboards
Polge also made a few claims sure to be cited in any brouhaha concerning the shooter. Referencing the Great Keyboard & Mouse vs. Controller
Debate, the designer claimed that
UT3's controls are so good that half of the staff prefer the Xbox 360 version.
Also noted were the improvements in
Unreal Engine 3, as exemplified by contrasting the game to previous Epic title
Gears of War. Polge said that
UT3 is "
Gears on crack. Cover is for wimps!" You hear that, gamers who bought his company's previous Xbox 360 title? You're a bunch of wimps! (Until
Gears of War 2 is announced, of course.)
