Unreal Tournament 3 X360 info and screens

37
It may have taken a little while longer than the rest of the pack, but Epic Games' other franchise is on its way to Xbox 360 soon. A release date hasn't yet been announced, but you can be sure that the extra time is going to good use. The Xbox 360 release will contain five new exclusive maps those other platforms didn't get, two new characters and will include two player splitscreen action. All that and it also sports all of the downloadable content that Epic has created for the PS3 and PC.

" five new exclusive maps " no mods, so what's the point.

"two player splitscreen action"
Two player are necesssary in driving games, not FPS.
It could increase the replay value, but it doesn't have a singleplayer!

The single player is more like multiplayer with bots.

I really want 2 player split screen, but if I had to choose between that and a platform that allows mods, it's really a no-brainer. I'm sure the "exclusive maps" will be recreated via modding for PS3/PC in a very timely fashion.

since theres apparently no mods, it also sports all of the down loadable content that Epic has created for the PS3 and PC. i wonder is this by download or is it on the disc. because I thought i read somewhere(on N4G) that the 360 version WONT have all the maps that the PS3 version had BECAUSE of blu ray!!. i wonder what happen!!

EDIT
did anybody look at the high res video. I HAD this game on my PS3, I dont wanna sould like a hater or nothing but the PS3 version didnt look that crisp!! epic putting this game on hold my have just been a ploy to get MS to include mods an thats all. because if the PC version was done then there was no reason at all why the 360 version wasnt done! 360=PC

Epic has said that a large reason for the delay was to convince MS to allow mods. I wonder if they have been successful or not. You're right, 360 and PC are easy to port back and forth, but the issue is the mods (and adapting it to Xbox Live with mods, if they succeeded in convincing MS).

Part of me likes the idea of mods (to me Oblivion is practically unplayable without mods), but I like the relaxed approach to gaming that a console offers (as opposed to leaning over a mouse and keyboard), I don't have a PS3, and I like my 360 controller, so I will probably get the game for 360 anyway. Either that or PC.

lol, I have to say I love this quote: "SPEED! UT3 is a zero time to spectacle game, meaning that when you spawn into the world, you're instantly in the action. Vehicles are exploding, robots are blowing apart lizard monsters, just non-stop CARNAGE! ... I think UT3 is just what the doctor ordered for people suffering for the accursed affliction of Tactical Shooter Fatigue."

That sums up Unreal pretty darn well.

I want it but I can live without it. I lived without KOTOR, Halo series and Lost Odyssey.

I am awiting for a Luca Blight skin and an Okami skin. I will be happy with that.

KotoR and Halo don't need an incredibly powerful PC to play it at high settings. Pick them up immediately, or aquire them through less legal means. They are good games.

only a matter of time till someone makes a map mod of the 5 "exclusive" maps the 360, so no biggie.

2 player split screen is good but not as great as mod support would have been. 2 new characters? lol... i have over 5 new ones and counting

6 - The PS3 version is $40 at Gamestop
...and $35 used. Throw in free online and mod support, and I can't think of a reason to buy the 360 version if you own both consoles.

6.1 - Bingo
And not to mention that the release date for it is sooooooo much later than the PS3 version that anybody who really wanted it bought it for the PC or PS3 and are enjoying dozens of maps, mods and mutators that will not be available for the 360 version... Too bad for them I guess.

Xbox 360 - spend more, play less.

Epic had better bring that split screen to the PS3 version as well. Technological issues my ass Mark Rein.
-edit- Disagreers, why do you disagree? Do you not want split-screen on the PS3? If not, say why.

I'm not sure why it's so hard for people to understand that split screen is HUGEEE for some people.
If you game completely alone, then that's fine. it makes no difference.
but if you life or hang out with people on a regular basis, it's huge.

this is such a punch in the stomach.

Exactly. My brother wanted to play me on the PS3 and we couldn't do it which is really annoying. Epic has to patch the PS3 version to allow this. They obviously found a way around the "technological issues" that Mark Rein stated was the reason for the lack of split-screen.

Having no split screen is the biggest criticism plaguing UT3. They better not screw the PS3 owners by not adding an update to support that. I don't think anyone cares about the rest but split screen is huge.

I agree. Epic managed to end up on the PS3 owner's Good Developer List. If they don't patch split screen into the PS3 version, they'll end up on the PS3 owner's sh!t list faster than IW(with their three week late patches and DLC).

The mods, maps, etc, aren't used a ton in the GP with the PS3...not sure why folks are making a big deal about it. I am on nightly with UTIII...and all GP games are standard fare. The only time I get to screw around with mods and various maps are the times I play private games with my friends, but it is a P.I.T.A - everyone needs to have the same charcater mods, same maps, etc (then you can't get into the game without a mod, you get an error...yadda).

So, mods on the PC are nice - doesn't make a lot of sense on the console, and it turns out to be more of a hassle than anything else. Folks coming from the other side of life aren't being clear of some realities based around mods.

Meh, not really that big of a hassle to use mods. It is better to have it than not to have it IMO. Same with M&Kb and same with Split-Screen.
