So what will 360 owners love about Unreal Tournament III?

Rein: It rocks. It's so much fun to play on console. There's a little bit of auto-aim like on Gears... what I like is none of our success on console has affected our games on PC. We have mods on UT for PlayStation3 and...

What about the 360 version?

Rein: To bring mods to 360, we're going to have to make some serious changes.

So you're not going to include them?

Rein: Oh, it's going to happen but 360 is a closed system so we have to work with Microsoft on that

360 delay:
He also reveals that this is the reason that UT3 is delayed on the 360.

I would prefer if any type of mod available were as bug-free as possible before it was up for download on the marketplace.

Unfortunately some developers just can be bothered to make sure this is the case *cough* COD 3 *cough*.

Thankfully I would also think that Epic, and its third party tools, will mean more or less bug-free mod's for both systems.
 
I heard the interview and I thought it was something they was looking into doing for the 360, not confirming it will happen. They have issues with microsofts control over DLC, like the little falling out over GOW (which theve kissed and made up over), and dont want every mod to have to go through microsoft before it gets put on the market place. Not sure how it will work with reference to your own mods, for the PS3 you make them on a PC convert it stick it on a memory card and install it, does the 360 let you have that much control with external devices? Im not saying it wont happen but will microsoft change there whole control over market place just for this?

Not on the dashboard, but the devices do show up you just can't save games to them or something, they'd have to make a special menu inside UT3 probably.
 
Can't see this happening tbh, the 360 version if it does come will be only between fellow Xbox players.

What do you mean only between Xbox players? Crossplay? Epic already said no platforms will get crossplay anyway.

They did?? when?? AFAIK they have neither confirmed nor denied cross play between any platforms.
 
It's a tricky one, and I think the prominent announcement at the Sony E3 show was a direct shot across MS' bows.

If they have no mods, PS3 will be seen as a better version.

If they have the same system, it 'diminishes' their control over the closed network.

If they have paid mods, then there goes there goes the "no paying for the content that's free on other systems" stance.

They confirmed there WONT be cross platform play in an interview with gamespot at e3 while doing a stage demo for them.
 
I'm curious what kind of mods and who makes them, will anyone be able to make for example a ww2 mod for ut3 (like they did in ut2004) and be able to just upload it so pc ps3 and 360 players can download and play it? for pc i know how mods are distributed but im not sure how it works on console

No one is sure whats going to happen on the 360 yet, but on the PS3 mods are converted on the PC stuck on USB drive / memory card and installed. Also with the PS3 browser you can download the mods off the net.
 
I think if anyone can reverse MS's stance on mods with their closed system, Epic will be be able to, the clout they have as a company is pretty huge, GOW did wonders for the 360 sales and I don't think MS would really want to lose Epic.

I don't think Epic have the clout tbh. They didn't have the clout to make GoW DLC free, think they have the clout to make Live open? I remember when MS and EA where in long lengthy talks about EA getting online with them, and that is probably the biggest games company in the world
