UT3 not delayed ?

On the official ut forum mark rein answers to the newest rumours.
mark rein: "As a public company, Midway felt an obligation to its shareholders to let them know about the possibility of a delay. But our goal is still to get the PS3 version of UT3 in stores before the end of 2007. However, we will only ship it once it's ready and is the best game we can deliver. The PC version is still on track for a November release."

Well it's very lovely that they want to make the game perfect before they release it but if they leave it till 2008 no one will buy it. It will be completely buried by the big hitters.

jwatt6051d ago

I think if it does make it's November release there will be plenty of shooters out that month. UT3, Haze, and COD4 plus mix it up with Drake's Fortune and Assasin's Creed it's going to be a good month.

unlimited6051d ago (Edited 6051d ago )

I agreed in 2008 Sony got just to many great big hitter game to come out that year..They have to release it this Christmas even though I don't want them rush it out because all they trying to do is make the game perfect for us. I am glad that we are getting all the same maps as the PC version. Even if its delayed the PS3 version will be the best one to purchase..

Douche6051d ago

The PS3 was missing out on some great maps but with this extra time, they will be available. I don't get it though. What exactly was the reason for the delay? Mark Rein stated the benefit of the delay (all the maps), but was that the only reason for it? I'm concerned as to why development went off track. Hopefully Rein stays true to his word along with the entire development team when they promised their best efforts for an '07 release. December is actually better since November would actually cloud UT3 with randomly every game waited for releasing then. At least people would be more able and eager to play UT3 by then with it being one of the few killer titles appearing at that time. That is if those others anticipated games aren't delayed any further. Fingers crossed.

aaquib56051d ago

I really hope they manage to get it out this year. There isn't really a lot on PS3 for FPS games this year, and next year will be jam packed with games like MGS4, KZ2, GTA4, this game will probably get lost.

fenderputty6051d ago

these guys want to miss the Christmas deadline. PS3 price drop, xmas sales, and no competition from Halo on the PS3 means the best sales this game is going to get in a short time. I sure hope they can pull it off.

aaquib56051d ago

If this was EA games or Rockstar, but Epic isn't like that. They'll release a quality product when they feel it is quality. They're not going to rely on expansions or updates to make the game better. If you look at their past games, they haven't really had bugs or issues. Even though Im pissed at the possibility of the delay, I respect Epic for their integrity.

unlimited6051d ago

They can't miss the holidays I bet you it will come out around Dec before Christmas hits they will sell a lot that time..Personaly ill be busy playing Ratchet and Clank, Uncharted, Haze, and Folklore. I just want more games to play during break..Unreal will be one of the great games..

Numark6050d ago

umm, who said epic doesnt release bug filled games? Have you played any of their recent games? They are known for being bug filled and not being fixed on top of that....

Canidae6051d ago

Come on Epic, you can do it. Personally I'm cool if they delay it a month as long as it drops this year.

Apocwhen6051d ago

Agreed,
I'd be fine with a December release. As November has COD4 and Haze I think?

the worst6051d ago

its going 2 be the same old cod1,2,3
haze is going 2 be real good

SubZero6051d ago

Played the beta for this on 360 it is musch better than the previous games. I am looking forward to UT 3 and haze but COD4 is a must buy

UnasFortuna6050d ago

Couldn't agree with you more. The Beta Testing for COD4 was much better than the previous installments. Was lucky enough to get two tokens to play the Beta for most of its availability with my kid and friends. I am eager to get my hands on that game as well; but, I must admit I am more stoked for Unreal Tourn

Mugen Souls Retro Review – Sexy Demon Space Adventure

Gary Green said: We have a juxtaposition of 2D and 3D visuals, flashy turn-based combat, quirky anime characters with cheeky dialogue with plenty of partial nudity; Yes, this is a Compile Heart JRPG. Whilst the engine is borrowed from Hyperdimension Neptunia mk2, Mugen Souls is more of a Disgaea spin-off. It’s not a strategy RPG as such, it merely sits within Disgaea’s ever-expanding universe (Multiverse? Netherverse? Your guess is as good as mine). You won’t find cameos though, since Mugen Souls is a franchise which aims to stand on its own two feet.

Looking Back At 2008, An Unbelievably Incredible Year Of Video Game Releases

Huzaifa from eXputer: "2008 was home to the likes of Call of Duty: World at War, Dead Space, GTA 4, Far Cry 2, Left 4 Dead, and many other hits, which is outright remarkable."

ChasterMies22h ago

Some of these low paid video game “news” writers weren’t born before 2007.

just_looken18h ago

Here here

Those that were around before 2000's i am sure are like me that think we entered a world of non readers or those that follow without question.

I can not wait to see fallout 3 a goty game even though it was about water with non content until you add the dlc/updates then you got the performance/crashing

CrimsonWing691d 9h ago

I don’t think anything can compare to 2023

lucasnooker1d 9h ago

1998 - the best year in gaming! Metal gear solid, crash bandicoot 3, medievil, half life, ocarina of time, thief, tenchu, resident evil 2, Spyro, tomb raider 3, oddworld abes exodus, banjo kazooie.

It was a different breed of a gaming era. You’ll never understand what it was like back then. The aura of gaming, it was different!

KyRo1d 9h ago (Edited 1d 9h ago )

I second this. Gaming was a lot more varied and fun than it is today. I'm 35 so getting on compared to some here but I got to see all the changes from NES up to now but I've never felt so disappointed in any generation than I have this current gen. I was expecting more from this generation rather than prettier versions of games that came before it. Game mechanics have become so refined that alot of games feel the same and has done for a while now.

Maybe it's time to have a break for a while. I love gaming but I don't feel I get much fun in the traditional sense out of it anymore.

CrimsonWing691d 9h ago (Edited 1d 9h ago )

Metal Gear Solid, Resident Evil 2, Abe’s Exodus, and Ocarina of Time are the only things from that list that I liked.

Here’s the 2023 game releases that I personally liked… and big releases that I didn’t care for:

- Dead Space Remake
- Wo Long Dynatsy
- Resident Evil 4 Remake
- Diablo 4
- Fire Emblem Engage
- Hogwarts Legcay
- Street Fighter 6
- Hi-Fi Rush
- Like a Dragon: Ishin
- Octopath Traveler 2
- Final Fantasy Pixel Remasters
- Final Fanatsy XVI (actually ended up not liking this, but it was still a big deal release)
- Baldur’s Gate 3
- Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon
- Lies of P
- Mortal Kombat 1
- Marvel’s Spider-Man 2
- Starfield (Ended up hating this one, but big release)
- Super Mario Bros. Wonder
- Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom (I’m an old-school Zelda fan, but didn’t really enjoy this game)
- Alan Wake 2

I mean, honestly I’ve never seen a year of major IP releases like that, ever.

Profchaos1d 6h ago (Edited 1d 6h ago )

Isn't it just a generational thing realistically.

I've been gaming since way back and I some of my favourite games go as far back as the late 80s for me each generation has a year or two of game changing releases one after another before an inevitable dry spell.

I kind of agree gaming had a different feel games hit different because we didn't have the internet nothing got spoiled and you really had to put in the effort to beat a puzzle which could set entire groups of people looking for a solution. But most importantly games were experimental and not as cookie cutter as today even basics like controls were not universal today r2 is shoot l2 is ads garunteed you can't deviate from that in a shooter back then it could of been square, R1 or R1 and circle nothing was standard.

But as time moves on a new generation picks up their controller they are going to be interested in different things that PS1 demo disc with the t Rex blew our primitive 16 bit brains back on launch but to kids today it's laughable.
The new gen of kids coming into to hobby seem to value different things to us there seems to be a huge focus on online play, streamers, gaming personalities, and social experiences, convience of digital downloads. To me I value none of that but that's ok like my parents not liking the band's I would listen to its just the natural cycle.

Gameseeker_Frampt21h ago

Just about every year in the 7th generation was great and something we most likely won't experience again.

2009 for example had Assassin's Creed 2, Batman: Arkham Asylum, Dragon Age: Origins, Uncharted 2, Halo 3: ODST, Killzone 2, Borderlands, Bayonetta, and Demon's Souls to name a few.

just_looken18h ago

It still amazes me we got over 7 rockstar games ps2/ps3 but 3 for the ps3/ps4/ps5

Dragon age 1-3 and mass effect 1-3 in 7ish years what a generation.

6 Fun Games Where You Actually Play As The Bad Guy

While the mainstream media always sees things turning in favor of the hero, here are 6 games that own being a bad guy.

Profchaos1d 15h ago

Pretty much all of these games listed are based around a morality system you don't have to be bad and you don't have to be good.

It seems to have left out some real amazing games like red dead redemption 1/2,ass effect and true crime la/ny

Tacoboto1d 14h ago

Armored Core VI?

Ok, I'm really missing something here. Just beat chapter 3 earlier this evening, unlocked A-rank Arena fights. I'm not seeing or sensing any branching paths or morality system and I've done every side mission and arena fight available to me up to that fight.

Is something big coming soon to branch the story?

banger881d 14h ago

No mention of Grand Theft Auto? Saints Row (original trilogy), Manhunt? Also The Suffering (depending on the ending you get).

ChasterMies1d 4h ago

Trevor in GTA 6 is a sadist and psychopath who dabbles in cannibalism. Should be top of the list. These game “news” sites should hire people that know games.
