Agreed, hope it comes out later this year and is region-free so all PS3 owners can import it.

"“Well, the PlayStation 3 is a funny thing sometimes. I mean, we’ve put in this keyboard and mouse support but I don’t honestly think it’ll get used all that much. Who uses a keyboard and mouse to play on a console? You’d just use the PC version, right? It’s cool because it’s there if you want it, but I don’t think many people do.”"

I think it will be the opposite. Most people I know are getting this game on PS3 because it supports Keyboard/Mouse.

2.1 - I think that they don't have the PC requirement

For UT3.
Only if the game was crossplatform. then I would get the PC version while my friend gets the ps3 version ^^

Yeah, he clearly underestimate the use of keyboard/mouse.
He'll see ;)

Hope there's no lock-on.

Who's going to sit at the coffee table with a keyboard and mouse? Most people I know game and relax on the couch. Are you going to balance the keyboard on your lap and move the mouse on the surface of the couch? Sounds uncomfortable to me, to say the least.

I actually made a little "tv dinner" tray that fits my keyboard and mouse on my lap... its actually quite comfortable. The simple fact is that the keyboard and mouse is the way to go when playing a fast paced FPS like this.

The PS3 version is 20% slower paced than the PC version. The tray is a good idea, but I have a futon so the seat isn't level for a tray :(

that is true...the game isn't any faster on the PC than Quake III or any other UT game...20% slower would probably bring it down to a comfortable speed for a sixaxis...

I will be using both...I recently got a 25" Samsung monitor to for when I dock my laptop...and it has an HDMI input, great for hooking up the PS3 when the main TV is tied up with someone else...

but it will mostly depend on what type of adjustments it allows...I like analog sticks to be pretty sensitive...but like a mouse to be sort of slow, but with normal acceleration (quick snaps to do 180s and stuff)...if there isn't anyway of adjusting the K/M settings just like the PC version, I won't bother...

You kinda tend to forget many PC gamers won't have PCs that can run this puppy properly. For these many PC gamers, the PS3 offers an incredible option of having high quality specs consistantly through the years. So for gamers that love the PC feel but don't have the finances to constantly upgrade (which is a hell of a lot of PC gamers) the PS3 is a great & very viable option. Much cheaper in the long run too.

Even if only some of us use it, the ps3 supports kb/mouse and developers should allways be interested in giving us more choices.

it is the flagship for UE3 right now...There isn't a game using UE3 that will look better, or have more use of the tools that UE3 allows...

a lot of people keep saying Mass Effect..which also looks really good...but even character models don't compare...but the speed, vehicles, size of the levels, weapons, and backgrounds/environments combine to be the most impressive visual onslaught (no pun intended) of this generation so far...

6 - Hope this game comes out when its READY! NO SOONER

Well Mark Rein seems to be the only gamer I can trust these days. Hes always honest and fair.

To see him getting upset about the Ps3 questions kind of blows, but then again knowing the gaming media im sure he is getting drilled.

Cant wait for this game, as of now getting the PC and Ps3 version, depending on how goog the 360 version is I might get that as well but depends on what it has to offer over the other versions if anything.

Games going to be soooo fun :)

Meanwhile, I crept upstairs into the PlayStation 3 room to try the current build of that version. Was it any good? Yes, it was utterly excellent – but you’ll have to wait for the full review if you want to know the specifics.

Says Everything!!
