UT3 on PC in November News

PC Xbox 360 PlayStation 3
News by Robert Purchese

24 October, 2007

Midway has confirmed that Unreal Tournament III will be released on PC here in November.

And although it has no concrete date, it will apparently be very close to the freshly announced 15th November Australian release.

However, it will no longer launch alongside the PS3 version, which according to Australian distributor Red Ant (reported by GamePlayer) has been pushed into 2008 with the 360 offering.

But Midway was reluctant to confirm this and said there was every chance Epic would succeed in releasing it this side of Christmas. It is simply "done when it is done".

We had recently heard that all three versions had been pushed back to next year, although Epic Games boss Mark Rein clarified this by saying Midway felt obliged to warn its investors that the title could be delayed.

Mark Rein has also previously said that he will not jeopardise the loyal PC following by delaying content to launch alongside the console versions, which is why PC and PS3 cross-platform play will not be supported at launch.

PS3 UE3 in 2008?? LOl that's ridiculous - I thought Sony whole "exclusivity" trump card for this was that PS3 is the only console platform you could play it on in 2007.

Now all they need is Haze to be pushed back to 2008 to launch alongside the PS3 version for ultimate stupidity.

Another kick in the cock for PS3 owners. I'm sure their version will come with lots of extra features which will make us all want to own one though. i.e a lower framerate and reduced texture sizes.

If you ask me the "BETA" Demo was very solid - Some games have been released in worse condition.

The Mac version is being developed in-house alongside the PC version so hopefully it will be an almost simultaneous release, as was the case with UT2004 (and UT2003).

Some big name games are going to perform poorly in November; this might well be one of them.

'If you ask me the "BETA" Demo was very solid '

Is there a process for logging bugs? No. It's just marketing for 'imagine these bugs weren't here and imagine the game was better and the whole imagination enhanced experience will be more enjoyable'.

It's a hell of a lot cheaper than QAing a demo; and on some people it actually works.

The 360 version, is probably more finished than the PS3 version.

Sony didnt pay for exclusivity, it just happened that a few months ago development was further along on the PS3 version than the 360 version.

Why is every damned news story fodder for console fanboys?

Besides, it's a PC game. Sod off and play Halo.

Finally some respect for PC gamers. Somebody out there still cares about us. Also, Epic is releasing an overhauled version of Gears Of War. It kinda annoys me to see so much console exclusive content these days... it's like they're sticking a PS3 or a 360 down my throat. Probably gonna get me a 360 in the end, but everything in its right time.
