Mods really increase the longevity of games. That's one of the reasons I have no problems buying this game. People come up with some very creative ideas through the mod community.

And if it's hot enough you can work with Epic to actually sell it not just for PC but for PS3 as well.

2 - I've decided to buy this game

And this is one of the biggest factors. I know it's not on the same level, but I never imagined so many people would be ready and willing to create themes for the PS3. It really shows that PS3 owners are starving for stuff like this. The PSU themes pages adds about a page a day and is growing quickly.

Now while this is on a whole new level, I love the idea of user-created content, and I just hope enough people actually use it to spark interest in others and make great mods. I've never played UT that much, but the game looks great and the possibility for mods is really intriguing.

The ONLY negative I see about this is the fact that you need the PC version of this to make it. I don't know many people that would buy the same game for a console and PC. I wish they could find a way around that.

Also, I'm glad they slowed it down for the PS3. The first videos of the game from the PC version were a little too fast for me. BTW, I will be playing this with a M&K to find out which is better.

5 - User Creation will be redefined on home consoles in 2008 of this generation.

Their are talented gamers out there of all ages. UT3, LittleBigPlanet, HOME, even Echochrome (phil harrison hinted user creation) is going to stay fresh with peoples talents (even lack of) and personalities.

"This tech is only available on the PS3??"

WRONG!!

This tech is only available on the PC. Yes, the PS3 can play them but you have to BUY TWO VERSIONS OF THE GAME.

Mark Rein: PS3 owner, please bent over.

PS3 Owner: Sure, no problem. May I have another.

And of course you better have a very fast PC to create these MOD's and then run them.

And yes you will be able to use them on the 360 as well when the game ships. How many times does Mark Rein have to say they are working with MS to make this happen. Still, enjoy this game PS3 owners you get a nice treat months ahead of the 360. I'm skipping it.

EDIT: @6.1 and 6.2 Please read this article, they are talking about challenging PS3 owners to make their own levels and learn Unreal. You can't do this on the PS3, only on the PC. But yes, you can download them for free and play them on the PS3. But this article is more about designing then just free-loading off the hard work of PC mod makers.

@6.3 - $120.00 for UT3 and the mod tools?? I am new to gaming because I don't drop stupid amounts of money on one game?? You buy 2 versions of games?? Wow, I guess I'm not as "smart" as you are.. LOL

Or you could just download the content that other users have created and enjoy it for free. Or you can just wait for the 360 version, that when its released will have thousands of DLC on launch day.

6.3 - Simple

If you want to play UT3 on a great high-end gaming machine, buy the PS3 version (or invest hundreds more into a new PC and buy the PC version)

or

If you plan on modding, buy the PC version... I personally don't have a problem owning 2 copies of a game. I have two copies of Oblivion and I will shortly have 2 copies of Half-Life 2. I have two copies of Final Fantasy Tactics, Myst, Ultima 7, and more. Different copies play on different machines for different resons.

You're pretty new to the gaming world huh?

They are still trying to figure out how they are going to do mods on Microsoft's closed network. With Microsoft's securities in place the downloads onto XBOX Live are not going to be as simple as the PS3's. Although being the worst case scenario, one of the methods of having MOD content available on the 360 version was to have it on Xbox LIVE, and would they allow it to be free?

Razer comments doesn't make an ounce of sense if you think about it.

Now assuming you don't need two copies of UT 3 to create mods and the PS3 version comes complete with mod tools. But you still need a Bluray player to install the said tools on the PC. The problem is, how many PC users have Bluray drives? Thinks about it, which is easier and cheaper. Buying the extra PC version of UT 3 for about $35-40 or buying a $350 Bluray player for your PC?

In short Razer doesn't know WTF he's talking about.

6.11 - lol at you

Marketing lession 101
- PS3 is in the market of consoles ,and his statements are geared towards this target audience

... at this point of the game this is the FIRST console game to do this sortuv thing. I am a hardcore pc gamer and I can understand why ppl will get excited over this, but I personally see it as one step closer to becoming a supurior gaming platform (PC ftw)

It just shows the evolution of the console market, and it opens new eyes for the console audience.

So yes your right it is found on the PC these features, but you bash it in such a way based on your tone and it shows your fanboyism

I can't wait for the first DBZ game to be made using the UE3. I remember playing some of the Bid for Power games on the old UE and it was sweet 1000 times better then any current dbz game made. They had online battles and it was great. I can't wait this is going to be sweet, the PS3 will get Halo after someone makes it using this. That will be funny when it plays better then the real thing.

I bought the PC UT3 and just paid off the PS3 version. I needed to do so anyway for modding and mod testing, we've been working on some stuff for a few weeks now and I can't wait. I wonder where those two asshats are that bet me we'd have to pay for mods last month. I so love being right.

Seriously I thought I was getting new news here. When I first started reading this I thought that PS3 owners were going to get the ability to mod directly on the PS3. This article states nothing we didn't know already for months.

Oh wells...buying this game the day it drops! See ya'll online! Beware of the Flak Cannon!

I do envy PS3 owners for their ability to fully exploit the mod capabilities of UT3...c'mon, MS, get on the boat!!!

I had a BLAST modding Quake maps...imagine the potential for Halo or BioShock-themed mods on the 360...

At the end of the day buying two versions to have an easy, highly supported system in place to create content for a console system is an incredible deal. You might not know the costs of getting tools to create a console game, but trust me they are high. Even a random video game fan who isn't in the industry (working at best buy doesn't count) can appreciate this, so leave your fanboyism out of this.

Besides, getting UT3 on a PC isn't all that hard. Borrow a copy from a friend, if you must.

There will be a linux installer soon enough, but I doubt it'll work well on the PS3. Unrealed is out of the question, it's ram hungry and buggy enough (although better than the past) already on high end PCs.

Except you dont need two versions for one user. Unless your a hardcore ut fan.

Honestly I am one of those users who are NOT creative and never created mods. There is this concept of leaching off the community.

A modder does not have to really keep the ps3 in mind,yet a ps3 gamer can still download that mod and enjoy the pc gamers creation.

Why would you want to play it on ps3? If you have a beefy pc which can do the modding and testing of the game then why get it for ps3. PC has better online, lots more mods and updates and better graphics etc.

Edit: I'm sure UT3 is not as system heavy as crysis and Cod4. Most systems would be able to run it fine. I will probably go for pc version. The 9xxx series cards are due in Feb 08 as well so lets see how those cards perform. But to get the best experience i still think pc is the way to go.
