Unreal Tournament 2007 Gameplay Footage

PS3 UT3 is cross compatible with PC UT3. Neither will be slowed down for the other. There are faster paced console games than UT you know. Battle Creek deathmatch on Halo 2 will tell you that.

Has it been confirmed that they are cross platform capable?

I can't find any info that says that it will allow cross platform multiplayer...

Would be good if it is

I don't think it has actually been confirmed yet, but I'm sure Epic did state that they were aiming to make it happen. I would guess that it is still being tested as to whether it can work without anyone being at a disadvantage.

I'm Certain that both Mark Rein and Cliffy B has spoken about it in interviews before.

Let a pc gamer play it for a little while, then see how many consoles compain about "cheating". You cannot be serious when saying the playing fields are equal?

I'm only concerned about the cross platform link up after watching the UT3 videos of the PS3(?) version, it just seems to be distinctly slower. Hopefully though they will sort it out.

There is a competitive advantage to having a higher spec PC though.
Clearer picture, higher resolutions, farther draw distances.

And yeah i agree with smcshaw, i think they will want money for DLC, but i can live in hope

Most of that could be restricted on the server side tho. I know most arma assault serverrestric your draw distance to 1200meters no matter how god ** PC is simply to make it fair.

Same could easily be done with res.. (ie set max res to 720p ish) People argue about this a lot.. but with a PS3 on keyband mouse i cant see there being much difference as the net code would have to be identical.. So no real advantage.

Many years ago when I was at college, we had quake1 put on the network. From that point on all we did was play quake.

From day one I was one of the best players, at the time I was only using the keyboard, no mouse. I was almost unbeatable. My friends who were using kb/m at the time could not understand how I was always winning. They had the better aiming device. I won down to a few things:

An excellent knowledge of the levels
An excellent route through the levels.
Weapon and power-up dominance
But most importantly I had years of practice playing how I played. I was as able to pull off a shot as they were and far more accurate.

At this point I looked at using the mouse, as I recognized that I was limited in my strifeing ability, the mouse would correct this. After a week or two of kb/m play I was the undisputed quake champion of the college. Completely unplayable. So much so that my friends would not play with me unless I used my left hand for the mouse, sadly for them it made little difference to the outcome.


What I am saying is you can be a great player without being an accurate player.

I don't want to speculate the level of FPS gaming I would be at if I had continued to play on the PC. But I imagine it would be quite high. Maybe if ADSL had come out a few years earlier I would have still been playing PC Fps games.

Oddly enough though I always felt there was something in the controller that would be brilliant for FPS games. I remember playing doom on the PS (I have owned that game on every format I have owned) and thinking, "You know there is something to this, there are a few improvements that could be made, but if that happens this will give the KBM a run for its money".

When Halo came out and I played it on the xbox. I knew that the controls and the controller in my hand were perfect for the console variants of this game, it more than annoys me when FPS games vary from the default halo control system.



Bit of a tangent I know. But I thought I'd say my piece.

Put a sock in it.. i didnt want to hear your life story!

And besides they game you really want is Sega Rally.. !! remember that.
