UT3 360 Gets Exclusive Maps, Compared to PC/PS3 Inifinite Mods

pwnsause - 630 days 8 hours ago

you do know people are going to redo these maps and mod them, and cook them for the PS3, its bound to happen

@CViper again:

yes it means no mods for the 360, blame XBL's Closed network policy

exactly what I was thinking. They shouldn't really be called exclusive when someone else will mod them.

I know mods are why Ut3 isn't dead.

Also how ironic how Epic screwed the PS3 fanbase by not making a splitscreen patch. Mark Rein said it was highly feasible.

Mods vs. Split screen.

This game will still sell well on the 360 since no great games besides Ninja Gaiden 2 will be out this summer. UT3 will be all by itself this summer as far as shooters go ( Battlefield Bad company sux IMO).

the arguement is over how good the game is/was...its over how MS wont let user created mods/maps drive the community. PC gaming has done that for years and its quite surprising MS isnt letting the 360 community partake in it.

It was amazing.

It was released the same time as COD4.

Nobody's computer could run it.

Negative.

Epic mighht and I mean MIGHT include some Home functionality. And splitscreen is the last requested thing on thier list to do. They have to unlock a harddrive mod install option first.

lol, it doesnt matter if Epic doesnt send us a patch. some modder is going to make a mod for it.

A 2D Mod was recently shown
FPS Mod was already shown
Even a LEGO Mod was shown

And about the maps pfft Modders can build better ones

They'll release a split screen patch and a map pack later for the PS3, I am pretty sure about that. Epic has to offer something new for the 360. I mean it took them some time to get it out. I would have been very surprised, if it would have been the exact same game.

id rather have the choice of 2000 maps over 5. you dont like "said" map...join another. not every map is awesome. not every map is crap. the professionals arguement is a weak one at best.

All the maps I've downloaded have all been on par with any of Epics. The deathmatch ones anyway (only mode I play). These always plenty of comments from other users and info to help you know what your getting.

You really dont know the UT community if your bashing their quality. The PC community is massive and filled with many skilled individuals, any of their mods are easily converted to be compatible for the Playstation. There really is no other way of spinning it, 360 gamers are going to miss out on what many would argue is UT best feature. Mods.

for once id love to see you live you fanboyism to the side and see that what fishy and Cviper said....the community drives a game like UT. it always has and always will. and it sucks the royal big one that you 360 guys wont be able to enjoy the craziness that user created content can spawn.

So I see you've finally decided to actually drop the cash on a PS3 then huh MR. 360 fan ...

It's just so ironic that you're using an argument that PS3 fanboys used a year ago while the 360 fanboys laughed. blah blah higher quality blah blah ...

It sucks that UT3 doesn't have MODS and you know it. Stop trying to dance around it. Modding is one of the reasons the game is so liked. Loosing that feature for 5 "exclusive" maps that are going to be copied by some "amature" isn't a good deal.

I know you actually believe this crap you spew out too. It's almost funny to watch you twist reality into an easier concept for your one track mind to grasp.

The best mods are those that are totaly custom and look totaly different from what epic makes those textures we see enough of. User mods with custom content are refreshing.

Custom characters are superb. Total Conversions and gametype mods , mutators etc. You are sadly mistaken if you think 5 epic maps can equate to everything the mod community has and will make.

With your logic, I guess you would rather have real games for the 360 as well instead of not having XNA games...I'm sure the Xbox community is praising XNA and even trying to compare it to LBP. Now the 360 is getting praised for not having mods??...good thinking blade...good thinking...DLC is evil unless it's made with XNA right?

Break even.... hello unreal engine 3 says hi. Development cost covered in middleware and for your knowledge most games break even at about 200,000 copies i wouldnt be surprised if this one did it at 100,000. Epic is not begging to release on the xbox 360 its called they already had a version working along with Ps3 and Pc so why not release it. They were only seeing if they could convince microsoft to take one for the community and the gamers, but then again by the way your venting your ideas here you must be a detractor of XNA oh wait your not...

The point was that this game without mods is utter crap and if people didnt buy it in massive quantities before why will they now? The addons are just glitter over a turd comnpared to mod support. As pointed before epic would be better off adding the resources they are spending on gears 2. I can assure you for all hte talk you make the game is gonna sell less that its counterparts be sure of it.

i couldnt even make it thru have of your second comment before i realized how much of an idiotic arguement you are trying to make. consoles are becoming more and more like PC's every generation. Modding is a HUGE part of PC gaming...always has...always will be. Sony letting Epic join in on the fun for consoles is a treat to those who are taking advantage of it.

there are endless amounts of mods for even WoW.

i would have a lot to add to this but it seems like just about everyone has covered the basics.

if i had waited for the 360 version and gotten it and never experience the PS3 version, i would be a pretty sad person. i love using the mods that the guys make. they're pretty awesome. they add unlimited amounts of fun to the game dude.

Marceles - 630 days 5 hours ago

you're reading into it too much Blade...you're saying nothing should be made for any game unless it's content made from the devs themselves, even if it is free...and you're saying having a few maps is better than having people who've created mods for years be able to have people access play their stuff and share with the community. XNA is isn't for a specific game, whatever, but nonetheless it enables people in the Xbox community to share their projects with other people...now back to the point I was making...maybe they should scrap the XNA program since MS or a real developer isn't making the game? I want a published and manufactured DVD certified by Microsoft to play the game on my 360, not something someone else made because anything less than the real thing should be scrapped all together, even if it's free?

I agree with Lord Vader and here is why:

1)Lag, its still there and there are only a few good conections. I know it wasn't just "me" either.

2)FEW and I MEAN FEW servers with mods. If you are lucky to find one, you might be sh*t out of luck if they have mods you haven't gotten yet.

3)Mods again. Epic recently released a map pack on the PSN. Epic or Sony should do this with user created maps.... Yet...nothing.

4)Weapon Selection. The redeemer is cool, but most of the weapons suck. The biorifle,Laser Gun?, and duel pistol suck. The rest are Alright.

5) When Ut3 first came out almost every mod actually made the PS3 freeze. This turned down alot of potential owners who rented the game to not buy it.

6) No one plays with mods, and not enough people actually play the other game types, i.e. Vehicle CTF, and

7) We were promised new game modes since December along with splitscreen and a site to get mods from in the game itself. Still Waiting....Epic, can you put down Gears of War 2 for a Moment and... Oh screw it, they moved on already.

8)Single Player was rushed, and the game lacks alot of Polish. Ty Epic for bringing it out 2 months ahead of schedule so you guys can make profit. Epic basically pulled an "EA Move"

Ps3 fanboys care because they can rub it all over xbots in denial such as yourself and bladestar. If either of you would accept the fact that modding in UT is way more important than 5 extra maps made by the developers (which will probably get modded with at most a minor variation)or splitscreen (which is cool but then again epic said a patch was coming to make this happen on ps3 and even if it doesnt once again Infinite variations and maps owns 5 maps and splitscreen).

And i can think of plenty of companys that get attacked more than microsoft. It all depends on your definition of attack if it only includes virus and cybernetic attacks the yes if it includes damage to property and viral marketing Macdonalds (just one example) has suffered more attacks kiddo.

If you can find a link that says that the game looks better runs better or anything better than its counterparts i would believe it but then again as always you are damage control mode and hte only way you can survive the day is believing the nonsense you spout.
