On the PC at least, I thought the Necris vehicles were a bit annoying.

"I'm going for nine on PS3. I could fob you off and claim this is because the context is different. In fact, I probably ought to, because it's true: Team Fortress 2 isn't as effective in the PS3's slightly disappointing Orange Box release, although it's still a better multiplayer game outside of the platform question, and the alternatives (Resistance, most notably) don't do as much as well as this does. This feels like the PS3's new online FPS benchmark."
I take issue with this TBH, So you're saying that this game gets a 9/10 for the simple fact that other games in the genre on PS3 are a bit pants... If that's how EG reviews games then shouldn't Blue Dragon have scored a 10/10 ? |

Interesting when PC version is clearly the best in its wholesomeness as being the real thing only get an 8, whereas PS3 is benefitting from this as one of the best online game of its kind despite minor disadvantages compared to PC get an 9!
So the score does matter in content of things, if Civ 5 get realised on PC its already crowded genre would be appreicated but for on PS3/X360 it would be a godsend/nirvana?! Still pleased that PS3 get a highly rated game that performs very well and do a good job. Warhawk is a great online battling game but needs more variety on PS3. |

It's great to see an old school style FPS on PS3 but typically these types of games don't do that well with the PlayStation crowd for some reason.

I have PS3, 360 and Wii and my conclusion is that the PS3 is really capable, however some games run slightly smoother on 360 (but not enough to make a fuss about to be honest). There's too much attention being made towards comparisons IMO, which I don't mind so much in Head-To-Heads etc. but I don't see why so many reviews of PS3 games have to compared to 360... I think even the Uncharted review had to mention the 360... /peter kay voice "What's that all about then?" |

Hmm.. so it does have keyboard/mouse controls.. but they suck? What an odd little tidbit of information. I thought keyboard/mouse was THE default control scheme for UT3?! Couldn't they just have left it in from the PC version? Or is that what they did but the PS3 somehow screws that up with its implementation of keyboard/mouse? I'M CONFUSED!

It should get a nine simply because it's the first console game that officially supports mods, that in itself is a major achievement that should be shouted from every rooftop.
Agreed, and the fact that it supports mouse and keyboard should definitely be praised too. Epic have done a really good job with their transition to consoles. |

Well i shall be buying this. I was hooked on Unreal tournament 2004.
See you all online (when it out in the UK? - all the online shops have dates varying from Jan 08 until April 08) |

oHHH yeah.... bring it on!!!!
----- @NatAttack "I thought CoD4 was the definitive online shooter on PS3. That's why I bought it, like." You did a fine purchase my friend..., COD 4 is indeed the best on-line experience you can get... But Unreal Tournment should be just as good in it's own way, Ps3 keeps getting better and better.

Nice to hear it's good... I'd buy the PC version if I had one up to the task.
As it is, I might go get Warhawk instead. How do you lads fancy the COD4 online longevity? Does it also run well? |

Certainly not because of Crysis, the sales for it were pretty bad too.

"Certainly not because of Crysis, the sales for it were pretty bad too. "
Crysis sales were actually higher than predictions and more than twice that of UT3 in November: Crysis : 86,633 units sold versus 68,600 units predicted Unreal Tournament 3 : 33,995 units sold versus 70,600 units predicted http://arstechnica.com/journals/thumbs.a... |

"How do you lads fancy the COD4 online longevity? Does it also run well? "... Yes, COD 4 is just perfect, i was never a big fan of on-line but these game changed my mind about it, the pace/gameplay is excelent... great "improvement ranking", nice gadgets and weapons to achieve, great maps, no lag whatsoever... it's simply the best in my opinion. |

"Crysis's sales are still awful. "
Of course they are, it's a PC game! |

It's not the smoothest of ports and having played UT games for 9 years now I'm starting to get a bit jaded.
If anything this feels like a mash up of the best bits of UT2004 with shinier graphics (which look rather jaggy on this PS3 version), bots that talk too much and like to jog on the spot too often when they should be shooting stuff, and some new vehicles. Also, I installed it on the hard disk and still regularly get texture pop in which kinda spoils the mood. It'll be a pleasant diversion this Xmas though, and the Dark Walker is rather cool as is the mod-ability. 8/10

Looks groovy enough, can't see me bothering with it when it finally hits the 360 though, I'm more into games with solid single player campaigns as of late, I mean I hyped up Halo 3's MP for months before it was released, played it for facking hours in the first week and then haven't bothered since :/ And it's not that it was a let down in any way, I just can't be arsed, I think I'm getting too old for this shit :)
PS3 owners will lap this up no doubt, it's a pretty huge release so should do well.

"Texture popup is usually down to lack of memory, so I doubt installing to hard drive will cure that - streaming from disc is fast enough thesedays, as we've seen from the core 360s. "
The PS3 memory architecture is a dog but people get round it by streaming in textures from the blu-ray disc - Resistance FoM would fit on a normal DVD if it wasnt for this. |
