Unreal Tournament 3, which is already a year behind when we originally expected it, might not make the estimated November launch date.

Quality > quantity.

I will remind everyone of UT2003 which Epic don't recognise as a game.

wuyanxu · 12th Sep 2007, 09:45

shame....

but i sure hope UT3 sill be THE UT3, so no more UT3.5 need to be bought like UT2004 to UT2003

I agree, lets let them get on with making an awsome game.

they aint the only ones who doesnt

Quality over Quantity for me pls....

As many games as there are out at the moment I am only interested in a few of them.
What I dont understand is how can there be loads of games on the UT3 engine out already and the game that the engine takes its name from isnt completed. I would of thought Bioshock( i think that was the unreal3 engine) was more complecated than UT3. Since the design of UT has been around for years, the concept of the game has been around for years and the programmers of the game did the engine too.

I am happy to wait as long as the developers are as honest as they can be with whats going on with the game.

That's a pity, I've loved every iteration of UT so far.

May I copy paste this post because it reflects exactly my thoughts

It better not be delayed ...

DXR_13KE · 12th Sep 2007, 12:54

i am ok with the delay as long as they don't screw this one up....

yakyb · 12th Sep 2007, 14:52

i would much prefer they spend an extra couple of months getting it right and release almost no patches after release. that way i won't become disheartened the first time it crashes on me

aggies11 · 12th Sep 2007, 16:36

A delay is better than a buggy game. But NEITHER is ideal. I'd much rather game developers be able to either A. Hit their deadlines or B. Learn how to properly estimate how long it takes to make a game.

Imagine if the car companies said "The 2008 Honda Civic has slipped a year, it will be released in 2009 ..."

Oh well just as long as it's out for holiday break I really don't care.

We got enough mileage from the current crop of titles to entertain us till this puppy turns up. Take all the time you need. Like a fine wine....sometimes the wait is worth it

Clearly not an EA game if this is true

I didnt know we were so close to UT3, i can allmost smell the lack of sleep

benjamyn · 12th Sep 2007, 21:59

I heard it was to include a Hi-def Relix character model!!!11111oneone

kempez · 12th Sep 2007, 23:59

Man I just can't wait for UT3, god knows how I am going to get time to do play UT3 as well as my day job and my home job :eek:

Breach · 13th Sep 2007, 00:15

Bummer. But it's ok, I prefer a polished well made game over something I have to install a giant patch right for after install.

devdevil85 · 13th Sep 2007, 17:56

I wonder what's holding them back? 360 maybe??????????????????

benjamyn · 13th Sep 2007, 18:54

xbox 360 version isn't getting a release this year anyway as it's a timed exclusive on the PS3 (And PC)
