GC: Unreal Tournament gets SixAxis controls

Games Convention this afternoon Epic Games demonstrated Unreal Tournament III PS3's new SixAxis controls - and they look to work really well.

The death-dealing superweapon, The Redeemer is now controlled in camera mode by tilting the PS3 pad from side to side - which in our demonstration looked to work without a hitch. Similarly, hoverboard controls now work using the tilt capabilities of the PS3, twisting the pad to perform spins and tricks.

1 - Nice

Yeah, we already knew that Epic would be featuring the six-axis in the game, but it's really good to know that they pulled off the functionality without a hitch. This game is in my top three most wanted games this holiday!

"The console version itself is looking in great shape; the version we saw today was running at a solid 60fps and looked near-identical with the PC counterpart, which was also running side by side. "

This is all I need to know! This game will rock, it's a pre-order for me ;)

Yep! 60FPS and almost near identical to a PC running at high settings. This is awesome.

edit: this also reaffirms my faith in the game that at least the framerate won't be dumbed down for the console version. I was afraid that Epic wouldn't be able to make the game look that good and still have it run 60fps on the PS3 hardware. I guess my fears were for nothing!

Your worries, and mine, were justified though, when we see games like Madden running at 30fps.

But, I guess it just re-affirmes, what I've always believed/hoped, that it's not a PS3 problem.

Also, it shows that a little bit of Sony-lovin' on the Unreal Engine seems to have worked wonders.

I guess that by the time UT3 is released there will be rumble on the SIXAXIS, let's hope it's implemented in the game also.

Personally, I think the sixAxis was a great way to incorporate new control schemes to the playstation. In RFoM, tilting the controller to see scores and maps was a great way to include even the smallest utilization into the game.

7.1 - It sucks that people are so averse to it

I think it's because it's something new and developers are still not sure what to do with it to make it work effectively. Most games we have seen it in it hasn't worked very well or has actually hindered gameplay, but when the tilt is done right, a game can actually have a new element of play without sacrificing the core mechanic. I think the problem is that it's something different and that people are more willing to b1tch about it and how they want their old way of playing, rather than give it a chance. It's why i'm still open to the notion of playing Lair, because what might be written off totally by a jackass reviewer could end up being something fun for me.

It sounds like Epic thought out the feature instead of tacking it on. It's too bad many people will say "OMG TEH SUXASSES IZ LAEM" once again...

Agreed, Bladestar. I think there should be some borrowing of ideas when it comes to the motion control, and like d3l33t said, having something like maps or leaderboards activated without having to press a button is nice.

Then you have people like Rhezin who only prove my point outlined above...

7.4 - yea

I think Heavenly Sword uses the SixAxis nicely for aerial combats, controlling thrown objects and to catch yourself from being knocked down. I love when devs use the SixAxis for things like that.

out of the game that are out I recon the God Father game has the best implementation so far of the Sixaxis controls. It really added something to the gameplay.

I never seen such Holiday season before, packed with so much games... WTF

This just in. Experts believes that this season, National GPA average will drop .25 and Game publishers to blame. Jack Thompson not happy.

You haven't even played with it yet, so passing judgment like that is a bit harsh.

Personally it doesn't matter to me because they are allowing mouse and keyboard, but it's still nice to have something unique in the game to set it apart from the other versions.

Now that is what the six axis was made for, it doesn't get any better than piloting arguably the greatest weapon ever created with six-axis.

P.S. It does give the BFG a run for it's money.

16 - Good i guess

That`s good, maybe there will be some good use of the sixaxis besides of Lair and Warhawk finally. What`s more important to be is to see a solid 60fps and a high graphics level, as i would take that over sixaxis controls any day.

I only Sony could get the price of the PS3 down in Europe soon too, i`ll pick up UT3 with a PS3 :)
