Rein: Work on 360's Unreal Tournament III just on hold

I'm glad there's a place for fanboys to go. Like a place to call their own. I wish they'd all swarm there like flys on dogshit and never post anywhere else again.

boy ya know it'd be nice if there was some sort of website for ps3 fanboys to go to as well, so they'd stop saying retarded shit here

As much as I love FPS. I'd love to have a game like Mario Galaxy on the Xbox. I really don't want to pay $300 for the Wii and the game, but I'd gladly buy for $60 for the Xbox version.

It wasnt too bad I traded my Gamecube and a couple of games so I didnt pay full price for Teh Wii. I just had to have Mario Galaxy. Its the shiznit. Seriously a system seller for me. The Virtual Console is also great!

I did the demo as well. I'm buying the game both for PC (editing tools and just so I can play it) and PS3 (killer performance, friends that I play with, easy to coordinate teamplay outside of clans). My main complaint on the demo is on CTF. I do things like give teammates rides to and from flagzones and anytime they grab the flag, they WILL NOT get back in the truck. It's doubtful you can't RIDE vehicles with the flag since I've done just that. Without clans forming yet, you're really only getting half the game right now.

I played last night and it wouldn't let me get back in the vehicle with the flag. Makes sense i guess, but it was my second time playing, so i'm not to familiar with the game yet.

Were you driving? Main reason why I ask is because the common thing is they won't let you DRIVE a vehicle, but you can ride one. Works in Warhawk, worked in the one time I had a driver who knew what was going on in UT. But I haven't play consistantly enough to know for certain.

Well, the UT series has always been the epitome of "run-n-gun" games, in my opinion. So, I'm not really caring when this game comes out. Sure, it'll be pretty, but that's not enough to get me on board.

In this version you can't capture the flag in vehicles, but you can use your hoverboard, or bind onto vehicles for a speedy/sneaky assault. Hoverboard to raptor and then flying away works nicely, but is risky. Personall, it makes team work more of a requirement than being able to make a fast getaway in a vehicle, and I love that.

So according to you, and your reliable sources, Xbox 360 has sold around 30 million consoles? Wow I must have missed a few years.

It's called a hyperbole...

I thought PS3 only had 2 million install base in the US?

*sigh*

There is no way in hell 360 has 10 million sales in the US alone.

But Billy, that's regardless of the issue. Gears Of War was getting UE3 up to snuff, period. UT3 on PS3 is getting UE3 running smoothly on PS3. Epic is, first and foremost, a technology company rather than a game developer. They make games which take advantage of their technology and stand as showcases. And with a game like Unreal Tournament, it's a matter of this game being driven by it's mod community. This is first and foremost the biggest aspect of why PS3 was the priority. XBL, that service that you pay for, is so very, very restrictive. And while Sony was saying "sure, bring the mods over," Microsoft was talking about their certification processes and such. To mod PS3, you put the mod on a flash drive, move it over, vammo. 360? Not so much. And that's why PS3 has the priority there. Epic wants to put the priority on the ability to put Invader Zim in Power Armor on your PS3 version.

It's simple really. They will sell a boat load on PC alone, and the PS3/360 versions are just icing on the cake as any multiplatform title is. Epic would have to butcher their Flagship franchise in order to appeal to MS's interests and Epic probably doesn't want to do that.
Think about it, right now the PC version is wide open for the modding community. Since Sony is allowing for almost the exact same experience, it's easy to release both candidates at the same time. With the 360 version, they have to rework the game so it integrates into Live so that you can pay for microtransactions. Not only that, the PC and PS3 versions will use a very similar online system, whereas the 360 needs to use the Live network for ranked and unranked play. To top it off, we all know Epic wasn't happy about how MS handled Gears and it's dlc, do I wouldn't be surprised that they still haven't reached a consensus behind closed doors as to how they will approach the game.

The bottom line is that the PC and PS3 versions are much more similar in nature and easier to get out the door. Don't think for a second that Epic wasn't going to cater to their PC audience for this game, and the PS3 just happened to follow suit. With Gears 2 probably already in the works now that the PC version is out, they are probably concentrating on that at the moment for 360. Afterall, Gears was much more successful on 360 than all previous Unreal Championship titles combined on Xbox.

Personally, I think it's because Epic aren't happy with the way Microsoft treated them with Gears of War. Charging for what would normally be free bonus maps.

They're going to try and talk Microsoft into it. They never decided not to do it, they just new Micro$oft wouldn't accept it.

Now, perhaps, that the ps3 is doing a little better, and embracing the idea of mods (a hugeeee boon if you're familiar with the unreal tournament series) Microsoft will be a little more open.

I see what you did there.

Played Drake's at a buddy's. With no multiplayer, it might be a better game to rent over an extended break. But it is definately fun and well put together.

I never buy a game with less than 20 or 30 hours of gameplay (including online multiplayer). That alone means I'd never buy Drake's, but it is something you should definately try to play.

Then why is the WII sellign better?
Altho the 360 dose have more fun 10 hour thrill ride games at 60 a pop tis not worth it,the 360 is filled with mostly shortsighted fluff that they want 2-3X what it should cost.

Its not like the PS3 is better hell its worse right now because of the BWC backsliding and oversold hardware spec....

what's sad is the WII aint all that either...
I got Bioshock,Jericho and the whitcher put 400 into a new video card and wish I got a WII or 360... either I suck or gaming is more fluff and less game than ever before....
==========================
Ignore MS's pad V KB&M BS and add KB&M support!

@WiseGuy

Youve got balls my friend. +1 heart =)

probably because UT3 is the best multiplayer shooter coming out for the foreseeable future?? You obviously haven't played past UT titles so it won't be problem missing what you aren't aware of.

"either I suck or gaming is more fluff and less game than ever before...."

I'd say gaming is more game and less fluff than ever before. You have the average shooter lasting 8-10 hours in single player when before it was lucky to pass 2 hours. Action games are running 10-20 were as they used to last 3-4. Not to mention the HUGE difference in length versus NES era games (Contra = 12 minutes). Hell, PC gaming is even bringing back the 100 hour RPGs.

I'd just chalk it up to you being a moron and having a fuzzy memory on life before savepoints.

Truth.

GFW radio ftw....
