Midway has said that Unreal Tournament 3 may be delayed on all platforms, pushing the game back to a 2008 release. Or not. It isn't sure yet.

with gears of war and halo at my disposal, i'm not really that bothered. but i'm sure this will hurt the PS3 fans, as they are serioully lacking in any thing remotely near halo or GoW.

They explained the PS3 UE3 problems rather well I thought.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooo ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

[naokaji]

theres a certain box with the name of a certain color due to be out soon... that will have to keep me busy then... atleast until mid nov when next eeq2 exp pack comes out and i'll have to blow through the stuff there quick... once done with the initial rush it'll be 2008 and ut3 will my schedule perfectly...

sucks to see games getting delayed and delayed, especially with highly anticipated ones like ut3... maybe they should all just put out a its done when its done instead of unreliable dates...

Not strictly true for there is RFoM and Warhawk which are very good on PS3 plus a couple of multiplatform titles that will provide enough FPS to be getting on with, UT3 will be nice but its not like the PS3 is as starved of games as people on here think.

sandys: quick question (follow on from the cheapo PS3 thread.) do you have a keyboard and mouse for your PS3 for RFoM/Warhawk and if so what type/how much? What are they like?

this is actually good news with crysis also coming out in november and hellgate london just before that it means ill be able to spread my gaming a little although i hear assassins creed was also delayed until jan

Unfortunately you cannot use Mouse and Keyboard in those games (although I have not tried, perhaps I should) the PS3 like the X360 only uses controllers unless the game has been programmed otherwise. I have my Logitech G15, Razer diamondback mouse and Logitech webcam (only mic works on PS3) on a switchable 4 port USB hub between PS3 and PC and PS3 picks all devices up fine and they work in XMB for messaging etc.

So you have to use Sixaxis which takes some gettting used to as the analog sticks aren't as tight as 360 but once you've got used to it the games are great, large open maps like 32 player BF2, no dodgy pop in or slow down, all very fast.

From the demo video, i didnot see any stunning physics effects.
A physcard is not necessary for me.

Would this game's sys reqiurement be higher than Crysis?

[DougEdey]

Ah, so it's not custom mapable per game? (i.e. Square to G and so on)

[sandys]

Nope that would have to be programmed in the game I guess, UT3 is one of the first to do this for a console.

they explained their problems with the 360 too.

But still this might be interesting, they still need to hold contract with Sony meaning that the 360 version will be released even later.

Just to let you all know that I've adjusted this article to more fully reflect the fact that its ONLY the PS3 version of the game which has been delayed and that the PC version is still on track.

Sorry about that!

Yes it is, I've got one

Sad to see, but I'll pick it up on PC anyway so meh


More worried about GT and GTA

[devdevil85]

I too have played Warhawk and RFoM (played Warhawk last Sunday night actually). Both games are amazing considering they're 1st-gen and they DO fill the void of any Halo(esque) or GoW titles right now for the PS3....UT3 will be the first AAA FPS title that will really show off what the PS3 can do, but I agree with sandys both of those games are available and they are very fun and do fill the void atm. I can tell you this, if I had a PC and a PS3 and I knew my PC wasn't capable of running the game at around what the PS3 could do, the PS3 version would be my 1st choice even with this delay.....and considering you already have a Bluetooth M+K setup you'd be in luck......

Oh thank God. Been waiting for UTIII since early 2005 .
(Of course I'm now likely to be disappointed when I find out it's been over hyped etc. etc.)

no you won't. just don't think/read/watch anything UT3 related until it's released and you'd be fine.

thank god PC version isn't delayed.

No it has Plenty for a machine that hasn't even been out a year. Sure if you have both 360 and PS3 then there isn't a lot to differentiate between them bar there exclusives but not every one has both and reading these forums you'd think the PS3 had no games when in fact that is not the case.
