IGN's impressed with PS3 Unreal Tournament 3

IGN writes:
"After a few hours tinkering around with Epic's PS3 version of Unreal Tournament 3, we have to say we're very impressed. Epic has, at least upon initial examination, done a great job making sure PS3 users get the full Unreal Tournament experience. Not only does it control well with the SIXAXIS, but the game features fully customizable mouse and keyboard support, along with the ability to load in mods. Perhaps most impressive, especially considering the number of PS3 versions of games that run poorly when compared to their counterparts on other platforms, this version's visuals are brilliantly detailed and run, at least as far as we've seen, as a very smooth clip. We have experienced a bit of slowdown on larger Warfare maps with the maximum number of bots loaded in, but it wasn't anything to get worked up about."

Hope sales turn out to be impressive too. Can't wait to get my PS3.

ddldave5987d ago

am i the only one waiting for Mark Rein: "The 360 version of Unreal Tournament 3 has been cancelled" ?

MK_Red5987d ago

Why would they cancel that? The code is there and many sites tried and previewed the 360 version. The big problem is mods and Microsoft's tight rules when it comes to mod community.

Yeah you're the only one.

Gears of War sold over 5 million discs in no time. Everyone knows earning big bucks and profit is on the 360 and not on the PS3...

Marceles5987d ago

I have it in my office right now and I'll play it in a couple of hours when I get home. Oh, the torture...

Bathyj5987d ago

Maybe thats why they would cancel UT3 on XB, to get to work on Gears2. If you want to see it this year that is. Epic isn't EA you know. They arent very big at all. Making UT3 on XB (which most Bots will and have been shunning anyway for not getting it first) will delay Gears2. They only have so many hands.

And I like you Mk Red because you don't write like a pre-pubescent illiterate chav like most people on here....
Be sure to add me as soon as you get your console.

no does it have online splitscreen or not i need to know well im gunna pick it up in like 30 minutes from Gamestop but anyone help me?

MK_Red5987d ago

What do you mean online splitscreen? Isn't split only for offline play?

Kleptic5987d ago

I think he is asking if it supports online split-screen play like Warhawk...as in 2 or more local players on one TV, while playing others online...

and that I am not sure about...got the game today...my wife got it for me for christmas today...but I am not allowed to touch it for about 14 days...boo...

Tech Focus - Motion Blur: Is It Good For Gaming Graphics?

Opinion is divided on this one for sure! Is motion blur good for gaming? Why do developers include it?

TheOptimist2138d ago

I hate any game that has motion blur and the first thing I do is switch off the motion blur in games. It just makes me nauseous.

XentaJones2137d ago

motion blur makes me sick... so its off.

OpenGL2137d ago

I agree with Alex here, many implementations are terrible but when it is done right it improves the experience.

TheSplooge2137d ago

I always turn it off. Along with depth of field.

Mr_Wilson2137d ago

Those plus vignetting, chromatic aberration, and film grain.

Let’s be Honest, DOOM Looks like the Best First Person Shooter We’ve Seen in Ages

Alex from GamersFTW writes:

“In all seriousness though, I feel like DOOM’s success will be measured by how much the game has to offer. Graphically it’s looking spectacular, and I’m sure the latest multiplayer trailer caught all of our attention. Personally, the game is beginning to remind me of those late nights playing Unreal Tournament 3, which is totally a good thing. This, in addition to the promise of user-generated content, is making DOOM look like the best first-person shooter I’ve seen in ages.”

The campaign looks brilliant, like a true nostalgia trip to the original DOOM titles of old! The multiplayer equally looks like a trip down memory lane to fast-paced and frantic arena games a-la Quake, and honestly the MP REALLY makes me want to the get game at launch to capitalise on the hype. Problem is I'm not overly fussed with multiplayer typically in games, they can get weary after a while, and buying a game solely for its MP is risky - especially on console - as it's heavily dependant on the community!

Rock to my left, hard place to my right..

EDIT: On the MP note, does anyone know if it'll have bots available, similar to Unreal Tournament 3? I still give that a quick play time to time with bots (and all the mad mutators).

c00lvilKid692968d ago

I’m exactly the same, usually multiplayer games are of no interest to me. But DOOM has sparked my curiosity, especially as someone who used to enjoy multiplayer first person shooters like Quake/Unreal. Totally understand your concerns about it being heavily dependant on the community, too. Which is just another reason they should include bots, in case the numbers need to be made up. I’m hoping the community will be good, considering the creative freedoms they’re handing over with the SnapMap thing.

Its basically a "console" ahead, in terms of graphics, of another shooter called Homefront thats getting ready to release. LOL

wakeNbake2968d ago

Well thats just a low budget turd, no comparison at all.

mezati992968d ago
