Unreal Tournament 3 Video Preview

I thought the SP was going to be a proper SP game and not just an offline version of the online with bots. Oh well.

The game is pretty much finished at this point. In fact, it actually is done on PC, and will ship on the 19th of this month, with the PS3 version to follow at some point. Anyone who's been a PC gamer for any length of time has likely played this game before. UT 3 feels a lot like the last version, UT 2004, complete with a heart-throttling speed of battle and overpowered science-fiction (or is it science-fantasy?) weaponry. Adding another wrinkle to the already intense firefights is the ability to quickly side-step, hop forward or back, and double-jump, allowing the most skilled to truly smother the uninitiated with flak cannon spread and humiliation. It's not an impossible system to learn, but anyone who's never participated in the UT before should know they're going to take plenty of shock rifle blasts to the face before they see their scores start to climb.

I know this is COMPLETELY off topic but is your PS35C DS3R rev 1.x or rev 2.

Again sorry for being off topic guys.

You can see the gears of war influences in that. The characters etc they just look so similar. Even the outfits looks similar. The games look the same but in differnt skins tbh.

Actually I think you will find it was UT that influenced GoW

Just runs faster as far as i can tell, + the special PPU level in the full version, im hoping it will pick up, with most UT3 engine games supporting it, Gears war would b great, warmonger looks ok

Oh, I was really hoping for a proper SP game. Talk about a cop out, on the upside I suppose it greatly shortens the development time of the game.

Cop out? Have you actually played Unreal Tournament single player before?

It's all about the online action, although the vast majority of people that buy it are happy to play the usual gameplay types offline with bots according to statistics.

Play Unreal, Unreal 2 if you want a proper story I guess..

Yes it is a cop out to producing a proper Single Player game. One that requires different levels, storyline etc etc... Its far far easier to just produce some AI and use the MP maps (which are smaller and require less effort). I have thought from the start that all UT single player was a cop out. I absolutely loved the original Unreal. Sci-fi setting, crashed on strange planet etc....
