PS3 version of Unreal Tournament 2007 to support mods

The CEO of Epic Games, Tim Sweeney, has confirmed that the PlayStation 3 version of Unreal Tournament 2007 will allow the usage of mods, user-created software which are able to modify certain aspects of the game.

Speaking to gaming site GamaSutra.com, Sweeny pledged his support to the moding community and said that the online model which Sony will offer for the PlayStation 3 allows for more flexibility. Stating that the moding community was "an essential part of [Epic's] success", Sweeny announced that "We would love to transfer this mod community over to the console platforms."

1 - Exploits

Can't wait until the console is infected with viruses, online is unplayable due to exploits and our consoles get bricked thanks to hackers.

There is a reason XBL is a closed system.

2 - Uhh, ok.

It was actually explained at TGS that developers and publishers have the option of either maintaining their own servers, or relying on Sony's internal servers (i.e. closed network). This is a actually a big reason that so many developers are excited about the PS3's Online Network. Sony's giving them a lot of freedom to do what they do best, and without any restrictions. True, quality assurance is a slight risk, but I'm sure they can handle it. Sony got the assistance of other companies as well for their online network, and on top of that have many, many years of experience.

As for the PS3 version of Unreal Tournament supporting mods, I think it's great. We should be able to have the same amount of functionality and freedom as PC users.

nice to have mods on the ps3!!! and to the virus topic: the architecture is open does not mean it has more viruses. the only reason you are talking about viruses is because you are jaleous about ps3 will have mods and the xbox360 not.

5.1 - What Are You Retarded?

Achira, Linux + Browser + Open Network = Risk Of Getting Viruses. I don't care if PS3 gets Mods if I wanted a game with mods I would play it on my PC.

5.3 - Why is everybody talking about viruses and Linux.

Honestly Linux has far less viruses developed for it than Windows and IE. So I don’t thing that viruses on the PS3 will be a problem. Most people like getting things for free, so the hacker community doesn’t really mess with Linux or Unix for that matter. (In terms of catastrophic failure viruses.) They really only go after Windows because it is so over priced and it is forced down the throats of the PC world. Not to mention that most fortune 500 companies use Linux or Unix for there computer authorization infrastructure. (Security is actually better. Less options to exploit.) Windows just becomes the front-end because people are more accustomed to it. (I.e. because they have it at home on their personal PC)

7 - ps3 is better than 360

ps3 is better than 360, developers are agree
even though 360 will have better online and 360fans said 360 have better graphics, yeah right ps3 will have better graphics and better games than 360, i'm not saying 360 is crap i just got my 360 and i like it but i haven't see anything that can make me say that 360 is better than ps3 and 360fans don't blame me because i know that's whatchu gonna do after read my comment but like it or not ps3 will be better than 360.

by the way (360fans) i don't get them sometimes they said that sony online is crap and when they read that developers are saying ps3 is more powerfull or something about ps3 online, than they said they don't want to get ps3 and than get a virus. I can see it, what 360fans want is 360 to be the winner because they like 360 or they like halo 3 or gow. I don't know y they hate ps3 so much.

7.1 - Why?

360 nerds hate PS3 so much because they don't want to admit they invested in a second-rate console. Every anti-ps3 argument ends in the same way: "Gears of War! Gears of War!"

Xbox 360 isn't bad, per se (like Sega CD bad)
but after Nov 17 it is not going to be the best.

8 - PS3 is better than the 360...

developers are agree.You said it all right there buddy , you said it all right there. Wow you PS3 guys are getting really fired up , it's getting close to launch. You guys keep letting everybody know they invested in a second rate console when they purchased the 360 in record numbers and pace. You guys rock! Your so cool.
