Here are some tidbits from the interview:
- Early 08 release for Unreal Tournament 3 in the UK
- No release date yet for Xbox 360 version "as there is a lot of additional work to do to get that completed"
- Both dedicated and peer-2-peer servers available to users.
- More on Mod support and exporting for PlayStation 3
- Epic Games is supporting PlayStation Home, but unsure of to what extent
Quote about Unreal Engine 4:
"Tim Sweeney is a mastermind, and he's going to keep you guessing!"
Opinion is divided on this one for sure! Is motion blur good for gaming? Why do developers include it?
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.
I agree with Alex here, many implementations are terrible but when it is done right it improves the experience.

“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).
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
Great selections as always and they are...
Final Fantasy
Metal Gear Solid
Super Smash Bros.
Crypt of the Necrodancer
Unreal Tournament
Advance Wars
Payday 2
Just because they said damage was in GT5: Prologue.
First, it is said that damage will be included through a downloadable patch for GT Pro.
I'm glad the ps3 is getting it's games collection up, but the Unreal franchise is old and needs to be retired. Epic needs to let Unreal go and come up with something that fits with this generation. Not something from the '90s! The system hasn't really had a dramatic upgrade except for graphics.
In the future I would like to see something extremely new from this series!
Dedicated Servers would be nice.
