360 UT3 Will Have Modifications

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.

What is there to work on? the pricing?

Think it's something like Microsoft have said before they don't allow user created content or something. :confused:

does the 360 let you have that much control with external devices?

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.

360 version is coming it has been said from people within Epic and it's already on the 360 so to speak.

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

UT3 is now confirmed 360 exclusive! Just kidding! Plus if you quote this you are a ladyboy!

and you believe that?

It's from Mark Rein, Vice President of Epic Games. :rolleyes:

Also UT3 was in development for PS3 before the 360 version as well because of Gears I reckon. That's probably why they are leading with the PS3.
