Unreal Tournament 3 preview by 1UP - Comparing the PS3 & PC versions

marinelife9 - 748 days 3 hours ago

Think of how many copies Epic will sell once someone makes the Gears of War mod.

I wonder how easy it would be to move the assets from the PC version of gears into the Unreal editor?

To me the faster the better because if you're getting shot you always have a chance, but in COD4 if you don't have juggurnaut and your getting shot in the back you're dead. I think they should have made it an option for PS3 to have it slower or the oringinal speed. Most people will end of using mouses anyway to try to gain an advantage and espcially the higher rank people that will play basically every day. Screw the casual guy.

"One of the first sentences they say includes "frame-rate issues"

its fine, they didn't mean Mass Effect type frame-rate issues.

no pc runs at 60fps while ps3 runs at 30fps no issues jst pc version has a faster framerate. would be really funny if 360 version ran at 60fps. we would really have a fanboy frenzy over that.

Actually the PS3 version runs at 30 FPS, but it's gorgeous nonetheless.

Actually don't mean to sound rude, but unless ur an utter retard buying pc off a scammer or another retard, you can get UT3 on highest with 600-700 bucks

how?
x1950pro 130$ can play on HIGHEST at 1280x1024
E4300 90$ can be OCed to 3.2ghz, freakin fast
P5k PCI-e MB 120$
250gb hd 60$
DVD, sound, case, power, everything else 150$
OH what thats only 550$

And WHAT? pc monitors = 300$? and hdtvs are 800-1500? Oo

I have all consoles and luv them all... but I can't stand ignorant people who can only prove they know nothing, absolutely nothing about pcs... and don't even deserve the one they are typing on

edit: lol 6 disagrees because I stated a few facts... denial much?

u dont buy an hdtv just to play games. you buy it to play games, watch hd movies, and hd television.

at winter 47th am gonna check the developer walkthrough again but i honestly dnt remember the 60fps but am gonna check again. If its 60fps cool nice to see unreal engine games running at 60fps.

Thats not my point, if you had nothing to start with, you'd have to spend more money entering the console arena... ofcourse once you've got an hdtv its relatively cheaper

Also the focus is the false interpretation that to game for pc you'd need more then 1000-2000$. And @ people who like to scream but but but you need to upgrade every year... you don't HAVE to upgrade every year, only if you want to play the game at max max max, which is a luxury for the rich... the videocard i mentioned x1950pro will last you 2-3 years and if games that requires better video card comes out, you wouldn't be able to play them on consoles anyways

I respect other people's opinions, but don't report false facts as truths

Lastly, staying on topic with the news post, PS3 should run the game very very well... the magic of UE3 is that you can run it beautifully without amazing speed (for pc) PS3 should be able to handle it like butter

While I'd love for that to be the case, Mark Rein has said several times that though it was running faster on some floor demos, it was going to probably end up being locked at 30fps.

From October: "Rein confirmed that Epic's aiming to have the game running at a steady 30 FPS on the PS3."

( http://ps3.advancedmn.com/a...

You search. There has not be a definitive answer on this since Rein said "in the final game they’re going to lock frame rate at 30fps and you’ll be so happy playing the game, so thrilled with how amazingly it all comes together".

I'll be happy to have that detail at 30fps, but of course I'd love to play it at 60fps if they can sufficiently tune it. I'm hoping that their recent silence on the issue means they've managed to squeeze out a few more frames/sec.

edit re: below --

It *has* run at higher framerates, but the release version is on track to be 30fps locked. I'll still hope for 60fps, but the verifiable info that I've found doesn't give me much faith. :)

Sorry my bad, it's the wrong vid but it's been confirmed a while back that it runs at 60FPS, google it if you doubt it though or we can all wait for the reviews stating it couple'a days from now.

It states it runs at 30fps and 720p. If you look mark rein says it runs at 30fps on ps3, and 60 fps on pc.

You forgot memory. 2GB would be nice.

If overclocking you either need better case or extra cooling fan/heatsink, maybe better power supply.

What about OS/Windows. Do you own full ver. or you got pre-installed on your previous PC.
What about good gaming keyboard and mouse, speakers???

@ percy: So I dispell the myth that you need thousands of dollars to buy a gaming pc and list a bunch of recommended parts and I have NO clue what I'm talking about? Ironically the other way around ain't it?

@ 4me2: I did infact forget the ram. But right now 2gb ddr800 ram is only 35$. check it out at www.anitec.ca if your in canada, great deal
Lemme spell out the parts for you: DVDRW 25, Ram 35, Case 50, Power 45, M/K/speakers assuming you have it already considering your probably posting from a computer... so total = 150$ still
If you want to OC, feel free to add a custom cooling fan for your CPU, case doesn't matter much, you can get a good one on sale for 15$
Also note a lot of these components you should already have, so its even cheaper still

@Tikku: I'm not saying you should get a pc just to play UT3 DUMBASS, I'm trying to tell alot of console gamers here that won't accept the fact that you DO NOT NEED OVER 1K or even 600$ to get a nice gaming rig!

@dantesparda: Yeah people can't take in fact they can't get over... but I'm not saying consoles are slower than PCs... remember PS2 only had a 300 something mhz processor? but it still kicked ass in a ton of games. Some games, ie. fps, rts, MMOs are suited for PCs, while some games like RPG, Adventure, Racing and Sports are more suited on consoles

They actually said the ps3 version is better :)

The only advantage i see in the PC version is the mods tools but since i suck at programing i think ill prefer the ps3 one :)

pc version will definetly be better they only say ps3 version is better cus its a little slower so less chaotic. However most unreal fans appreciate the faster gameplay however i prefer it slower cus all that chaos cnt necessarill be good.

That's not entirely true. The Unreal franchise has always been a perfect example. UT players (along with Quake, Painkiller, Wolfenstein players, etc) have always been obsessed with not just modding, but completely tweaking the crap out of their games. There's a lot of stuff outside the game, such as legit modifying of game files, that you simply won't get to do on the PS3. You can't access the game's files on PS3 unless you have some experience up your sleeve. It's really nice once you've become and avid fan of the game.

Not to mention, if you want to get into map making, just open the editor in the game's System folder and minimize to Epic's forums to find the answer to just about every question that you could ever think of. And trust me, if you have no experience in level design, you WILL be lost. That or you'll be figuring things out on your own for quite some time. Time that can be used making maps!

"1) ...i wonder what Halo would look on 1080p"

Actually I wonder what it would look like at 720p. (Upscaling aside, the game will be running 720p native AFAIR. Whether that's "true" 720p or really "640" 720p, who knows. We'll have to wait until Beyond3d gets its hand on it. ;)

"Guys question if Gears of War for the pc is made with the unreal engine could i export objects and information from it into the UT3 mod design tools? (Critical question if so will i be able to export it to ps3?)"

I don't really know how the mods are actually getting to the PS3 as I haven't really been following that, but meshes, textures, and probably even entire levels from Gears of War can be implemented in UT3 on PC if desired. Or vice versa. They were built on almost the exact same version of Unreal Editor in almost the exact same way. Just two very different games.

Rgr that man. They've never played UT before...

I am ready to drop another $60 into Epic's wallet once the PS3 version comes out.

I bought the PC version because I've always played UT games on PS3, but my friends have PS3s, not gaming PCs, so I will be buying the PS3 version too to play with them. Unless, of course, they add PS3/PC cross multiplayer. :) But, I can't wait to see how the KnM work on the PS3 for UT3
