Mark Rein has described Unreal Tournament III on PC as not "doing so badly" in response to a question on the game's retail performance in launch month.
More than a few surprised eyebrows were raised when data released by NPD Group put the sequel at 33,995 unit sales in November 2007 in the US, which seemed very low for such a high-profile game.
Epic Games have teamed up with Steam to throw a free UT3 weekend kicking off this Thursday.
It seems EPIC really are trying to get people interested in this again. I can just see, "Gets gears 2 done and then we'll have ago at trying to get UT3 popular again".
Buy it at Half Price book store. Get the whole pack (UT99, UT2004, Unreal, Unreal 2, UT3, etc) for $7.99. Some are marked at $14.99 in another Half Price so good luck.
"Greedings," everyone. As you may have heard, the new Titan Pack expansion for Unreal Tournament 3 will be available on the PlayStation Store starting tomorrow, and it's completely free. More details.
...PSN: Freker, catch me at weekend, Friday Midnight GMT, when I will hopefully be online.
Feel free to add me PS3 fans, make sure you send a message explaining what N4G member you are.
Unreal Tournament 3 Black, the fully updated version of UT3 with the Titan Pack, is now available to play for free this weekend.
All you need is a free Steam account to play: Install Steam, Create an account, Play UT3 Black.
Free period starts this Friday at 10am PST and ends Sunday at 1pm PST.
Er, I wouldn't call it not doing so badly. I'd call it, not doing so well right now, but we are working on patching the game and adding Assault so more people would decide to buy it.
Sad to see such a great game not performing so well
Isn't this the exact same story?
