Unreal Tournament 3 Titan Pack delayed on PS3

It's not a total loss. The good news is that the PS3 version has been patched today to include Trophies and split-screen multiplayer -- both were originally slated to release alongside the Titan Pack. Hopefully, Trophy hunting and split-screen gameplay will keep you preoccupied for the two-week wait.

Good, now Epic, let's work on making Gears of War 2 playable online.
Orex @ Mar 5th 2009 5:58PM
My friend re-bought this on PS3, im contemplating on if i should or not too. was a good game but is it past its sell-by date?
Maulok @ Mar 5th 2009 6:34PM
If you can get friends into it with you, the game holds up very well. Get a few friends talked into it and if nothing else blast some bots. The new game modes sound a lot of fun.
Orex @ Mar 5th 2009 6:41PM
yeah i used to have it, but just about no one online when i had it, played bots all the time, ill give it a try and pick it up next week, what have i got to loose eh?
(exept £10 lol)

Orex I still have my copy of ut3 havent played it in donkeys years, is it worth firing up again ?
Lars @ Mar 6th 2009 1:51PM
I have a blast whenever I play it. It's cheap, controls are great, weapons and vehicles are solid, game modes are fun. Two words: buy it.
Heck, I bought it just to support them for allowing K&M controls and mods on a console game. I think they should be rewarded for that, big time.

This almost makes me regret I sold this a couple of months ago. Split-screen really should have been in the game from the beginning.
PurpleDrapes @ Mar 5th 2009 6:02PM
split screen and trophies?! oh joy
Levi @ Mar 5th 2009 6:00PM
Is it just me or did screenshots of UT3 always look better than anything else in the U3 engine?
In A World (XBL) @ Mar 5th 2009 7:30PM
Well, I would certainly expect the inventors of the engine to get the most use out of it.
I still have to give the edge to GOW2, though. It may not run as fast and as smooth at UT3, but the environments seem a lot more detailed.
Levi @ Mar 5th 2009 7:35PM
I assume you're talking Gears 2? That game impressed the hell out of me. So much that I almost bought a 360 while I was drunk the weekend my friends got the game.
In A World (XBL) @ Mar 5th 2009 7:49PM
Did you play the campaign? Play this level on a big ass HDTV it will blow you away:

@ In A World (XBL)
Nice picture! Yeah, I loved the look of that level. I'd have to say Gears 2 is the best UE3 game. I think BioShock used UE3 and that game was amazing looking. Even my friend who is a PS3 fanboy said he couldn't believe how good Bioshock looked.
Levi @ Mar 5th 2009 11:22PM
Wow, that's nuts. No, I actually haven't played either Gearses at all. I only watched my friends play some horde mode one weekend when I didn't have power. It's probably the biggest 360 exclusive that I actually feel like I'm missing out on. I knew Gears 1 is on PC, but was disappointed to find Gears 2 isn't going to be ported, since I'm getting a games-capable laptop soon.
Tim Parsons @ Mar 5th 2009 6:02PM
Sweet I gotta get this game again ASAP this is great
arrness @ Mar 5th 2009 6:10PM
I'm debating buying this game,
how many players is the split screen? is it split screen online?
Lee @ Mar 5th 2009 6:11PM
It took ages to get the updates with the busy Steam servers. good stuff though, better than what I thought. IMO its playable now.
Behemoth mode!
Bucket @ Mar 5th 2009 6:12PM
The splitscreen was all I wanted, really. Thanks, Epic, you're done here.
Chris D.(PSN: Aggie_CEO | XBL:The Aggie CEO | Steam: Aggie_CEO @ Mar 5th 2009 6:14PM
whoa whoa whoa. Spilt screen??? wasnt people talkin straight SHIT about the PS3 version because it didnt have Split screen??? guess they cant say anything about it now as the PS3 version really IS better than the 360 version
at any rate Trophies might make me pick this up again.
Chris D.(PSN: Aggie_CEO | XBL:The Aggie CEO | Steam: Aggie_CEO @ Mar 5th 2009 7:28PM
never noticed any of that when I played. not to mention the PS3 version allows for User generated levels. that ALONE is what makes it better on the PS3
McWilly @ Mar 5th 2009 7:53PM
It would if people used it. Which incidentally no-one does. That and the fact there's only around 10 people playing at any giving time. I liked it though it's just a shame about the community.
Baby J Penn (PSN johnnynumber5) @ Mar 5th 2009 8:11PM
But to be fair the 360 version release around 4-6 months after the PS3 version.
dustingthomas @ Mar 5th 2009 6:17PM
I've started the game on PS3 and the update didn't start? where is it? (it's 6:15PM EST) am i just impatient?
Lee @ Mar 5th 2009 6:18PM
You missed the bit where it said the PS3 version has been delayed. It's kinda in the title.
Chris D.(PSN: Aggie_CEO | XBL:The Aggie CEO | Steam: Aggie_CEO @ Mar 5th 2009 6:22PM
did you not read the last paragraph Lee??

Europe definitely has the patch already. If it doesn't arrive today in North America, then it looks like we might have to wait the whole two weeks.
PSN: Erdie (Now equipped with 360!) @ Mar 5th 2009 6:16PM
Cool, cool, can't wait for the real patch though!
biggrapp @ Mar 5th 2009 6:18PM
people are still playing this shit? this game was/is a joke.
Anticrawl @ Mar 5th 2009 7:31PM
You're an idiot. Unreal Tournament is one of the best FPS series. It just translates terribly to home consoles because one of it's biggest aspects is the speed at which it is played.
PC version of UT3 is awesome, glad I own it for PC.
Lee @ Mar 5th 2009 7:45PM
It wasn't awesome. It was nothing more than 2004 with a couple of new modes and a lick of paint. It's awesome if you liked UT2004 but don't expect much more. Depends how you like your shooters. If you want innovation go elsewhere.
biggrapp @ Mar 6th 2009 6:15PM
totally agree with Lee.
@ Anticrawl
this shit ain't awesome, dude. if it translates terribly then doesn't that mean it was/is terrible, dumbass.
Morisato06 @ Mar 5th 2009 10:20PM
and exactly how many shooters today are "innovative" ?
SirFishouse @ Mar 5th 2009 6:21PM
This new is so old... Kotaku scooped this story yesterday. Nice going Joystiq.

Nathan @ Mar 5th 2009 6:30PM
Does the Kotaku post say the Trophy/Split Screen patch is still out today? No. So this is new news.
SirFishouse @ Mar 5th 2009 6:36PM

Go rape Lila with your aliens
Smoke_Dawg_187 @ Mar 5th 2009 9:55PM
@ Sony Boy
I don't know what I dislike about you more... that you joke about rape or that your name is Sony Boy.
NyghtcrawleR @ Mar 5th 2009 6:30PM
@Big
What makes this game a joke? The problem was the online was never supported properly but the game is from from being a joke.
I wonder when this update for trophies will go live?
ChiTownRuler23 @ Mar 5th 2009 6:39PM

ChiTownRuler23 @ Mar 5th 2009 6:40PM

Baby J Penn (PSN johnnynumber5) @ Mar 5th 2009 10:39PM
I believe it's free.
blakepro @ Mar 5th 2009 6:40PM
Can someone please confirm the split screen addition to the PS3 with a link? I have not heard that anywhere and thats been the whole deal breaker with me and this game from the start.
Majed Athab @ Mar 5th 2009 6:57PM
blakepro, the patch is definitely out in Europe right now. If UT3 doesn't update today in North America, then it looks like we might have to wait.
Wat up Homie!! @ Mar 5th 2009 6:41PM
