UT3 on 360

yaboy · 19 Apr 2008 at 14:08

a lot has been said about this by Mark Rein

Ive been reading that hes confirmed it it does have mods (lets hope they remain free) This is apparently the achievements list. Mark also said it also has some hidden reference to GoW in the game and its also got 5 exclusive maps, 2 new characters and split-screen for the 360 alone

so this game might be worth buying afterall.. ;o

If its Epic that convert the mods to play on xbox, then they'll want paying for it i recon

It will be free. Epic have made some for PS3 (think there was a map pack containing 3 maps last month) as well and they are free on PSN.

Edit: read yaboy's links now. Now I am confused. Sounds like they are proposing that Epic pick the best user created mods, pay the user, then sell them as DLC? Or something like that?

They can't charge for someone elses work so it will have to be free still - you just won't get the real benefit of mods since you'll only have access to the ones Epic/Microsoft approve of.

True, I wouldnt pay for mods but I would love to have them for free

It all depends on how much work it takes to make it, I've worked for people making DLC and you'll be surprised how much work it takes to make even the littlest things.

That article mentions its possible they could charge for it, perhaps pay a little royalties to the original modders.

Yes but mods are free, for any game why should these be any different?

Because its on the 360 and microsoft dont really do "free"...

There'll be an uproar if the mods aren't free. I can't even see the title selling well on the 360 even if the mods are free or not.

It won't be possible, simply because of the legal repercussions. You cannot take somebody else's work and charge for it. Epic and Microsoft would have to give some of the money to the creators.

split screen gameplay in HD :-o

looks like some great fun!

Sounds like the 360 mods will be as free DLC much like the map pack they did a few weeks ago on the PC and PS3. Not quite the same as the PS3/PC versions but at least its a start, hopefully though it will be kept free by microsoft. Still no keyboard/mouse support info as yet though?

Don't think they'll bother just for one game, Infinity Ward just removed recoil from CoD4 for consoles, luckily some of the guns don't require precision aiming.

The 360 version is once again the most social
