Wanna Know Why The Xbox 360 Isn't Getting The Titan Pack For UT3?

Dale North Writes:

" I didn't want to misrepresent here. Instead, I'll let Epic Games tell you themselves. I've pulled this from an email they just sent:

The file size limitations prevent us from releasing it, not to mention we have things like split-screen support (which 360 already has), maps that are already in the 360 version, the integrated mod browser (which 360 doesn't support)… the list goes on. Obviously, we are big supporters of Xbox 360 (Gears, anyone?) but there are significant hurdles keeping us from shipping the Titan Pack for Microsoft's platform."

1 - most underated fps of this gen

seriously this games way underappreciated imo its the absolute apex of the unreal series. No doubt it will get a lot more hours in our home with the extra maps n trophy support.

I agree, its one of the best FPS this gen imo and definetly deserves to be rose from the grave.

Microsoft really failed on all fronts here. Patch size limit ! WTF(confirmed elsewhere)
And not supporting mods is stupid. They obviously dont want people downloading in game items for free, they want to charge for them instead.

That nobody cares? I though UT3 on console seemed like a lame idea when the game was first announced on PS3, and the 360/PS3 sales of this game so far confirm my belief.

Dont get me wrong, UT3 is one of the best on PC; it is truly THE twich shooter, but its meant to be played with a mouse. Just my two cents...

STFU. If this was a 360/PC exclusive you'd say - "360 version of Unreal 3 controls match the PC's for a good twitch shooter."

URT3 on the PS3 plays fine. May not be at spazzy as the PC version but in some ways that is great. Either way, PS3 owners can use a keyboard/mouse... as for your sorry a$$, NO KEYBOARD/MOUSE FOR YOU!

And I completely stand by what I said...UT3 sales on consoles are crap, especially compared to PC. Is that that hard to believe?

I mean, do you move your PS3 to a desk? I dont see how you could comfortably accomodate a kb/mouse in 99% of typical console setups.

So I say to you Pixel, STFU...

Unreal Tournament 3 just jumped up on my list favorite FPS's this gen. The only thing that really held this title back, in my opinion, was lack of split-screen. Is it true that this patch includes split-screen? If so then I will definitely being putting in some serious multiplayer time on UT3 this year. Woo hoo!! Thanks Epic!!

The thing really holding it back from selling on consoles is STILL missing and that's a playable SP campaign. And not one that should be called "learn the basics of each friggin mode of the online MP" either. If they had a decent campaign to hook console gamers the title would have sold loads and there'd be more people online today.

Personally, I love the game and the mods can be brilliant to frag on-at my mates they were playing UT3 on PS3 on a map of some guys garden that he'd made! The mod was incredibly well done and some are practically retail quality these days so I think they missed a trick by not hooking more people in even now with a better SP cos it's one of my favourite shooters this gen. Sure you have to be in the mood to die a lot and also some dumb run and gun fun but nobody does it as well as UT do they?

I'll be eager to see the new weapons and vehicles but doubt the new maps will be as entertaining or imaginative as the mods are-more games should embrace similar set ups on consoles and I still play UT3 regularly with no problem-there's always people to play with in my experience. Just make sure you NEVER stumble into a KB/mouse enabled game with only a sixaxis in your pudgy mits-you might as well be holding your winky, trust me.

Thanks a lot MS. This will go over really well with gamers. And to think your customers pay for that service and you can't even give them the same things offered one the free on when you have the developer(Epic) in your back pocket.

Well perhaps Halo 3 was a test drug for such things, but considering how in little time at all people started file sharing pornographic pictures, it probably put doubt into their minds.

Although if a service where to be moderated (ie, Epic makes packs available for download of mods they like) I would see Microsoft giving that the green light.

I am going to pick this game up, both Xbox 360 and PC version of the game are dirt cheap, I don't mind double dipping especially when PC games are so cheap.

Just out of curiosity, did Midway or Epic ever reveal how well the Xbox 360 version of Unreal Tournament III did at retail?

i bought the game day 1 and had it for maybe 2 months

when i stopped playing there were barely anybody play still playing

too little too late in my opinion

honestly everything epic is saying is code for "we are too lazy and this isn't going to make us money"

they just dont want to build 2 patches because the 360 version and the ps3 version are actually quite different in the respect that the 360 version actually runs on a new UE3 spec(closer to gears 2 spec) than the ps3 version(closer to gears 1 spec), couple that with UT3 being pretty much dead on 360 why put forth the effort

the whole file size thing is a ruse, if they omitted everything that is already included on the 360 disc filesize wouldn't be an issue they just dont want to

Microsoft need to open up their network a bit more for developers and for their customers who pay good money to use their service. Its unacceptable that these limitations mean 360 owners won't get the same kind of content users of the PS Network get for FREE. Its not like Microsoft doesn't have the infrastructure to do this.

epic could do it free if they wanted, they released free content for gears of war 1, look at everything criterion has done with burnout, ubi with the graw games

everybody says it is MS who makes devs charge, that is just not the case, if a developer really wants to release a free update they can they just don't try

and honestly nothing is stopping these devs from releasing their content online, over their websites etc

if a dev or publisher really wanted they could make content boot from a burned dvd, a flash drive anything

the content doesn't have to be delivered via live, i'm curious why nobody brings that up? its because the devs want the money just as bad and they can finger MS easily because they are the "evil" company

companies make their own way, and the truth is if a company wants to give stuff away they can

UT3 all together kind of bombed. With PS3,PC,360 sales combined it sold like 1.2 million copies. Which is horrible. It was a good game. But didn't sell very well. When the 360 version came out in july, it was $60. You could get the PS3,PC version for about 20-30 dollars. So it was a lost cause. Plus on the PC and PS3 version. theres mods, Mouse and keyboard support. Also it played better on the PS3 and pc.
