"PS3 is an open system", says Epic Games

Posted on November 15th, 2007 at 09:51 EDT

In something of a favourable nudge to PlayStation 3 owners, Epic Games Vice President Mark Rein has issued a statement regarding development of the Xbox 360 version of Unreal Tournament 3.

“The PS3 is an open system, and they embrace user-created content”, said Rein. “

“But there isn't really a way to do that on the 360. So our job, when we finish the PS3 version, and we've taken a little break, is to sit down with Microsoft and to figure out how we can do mods on their system.”

So the development cycle for the 360 port has not even commenced yet? This could possibly mean that the Xbox 360 version could be a long ways off, giving the PS3 it’s much needed exclusivity.

Unreal Tournament III marks the series first ever debut onto the next-gen consoles. The game will feature many of the classic match types such as Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch, Capture-the-Flag, and a whole slew of modes such as Warfare mode. Over 24 updated weapons and vehicles will be added to give great amount of excitement for players of all skill levels.

good news!! should be atleast 8months exclusive :)

i wouldn't say it'll be 8 months...  The game won't take long to port...  Epic's engine makes it quite easy for them to port games now...  It'll just depend on how long the politics takes with MS...

i wonder if mores games will take advantage of implementing user created content like ut3 and lbp. this could potentially give the PS3 a huge edge over the other consoles.

I really don't understand the loyalty MS has to its fans. People claim that sony craps on their customers yet you can't help but feel raw when dealing with the 360.

I agree. This being an exclusive for a good long while means good things for the PS3. And, knowing Microsoft, they're going to want people to pay to put mods on the 360. MS never does anything for free. Heck, they FORCED Epic to charge for the Gears of War maps.

Cancel the 360 version! Just cancel it and start on the PS3 and PC updates when you're done with those versions!

Hopefully this means that Epic's next title on PS3 will have a lot of user-generated-focused stuff in it.

Eeeh... They never said that the 360 version is gonna take time. Thye just said that they were going to try to figure out how to do MODS to the 360 version. It's even possible that the 360 version is already done.

I agree with Sony1978, I hope the 360 version never gets done.

Yeah I'm hoping it stay's exclusive to PS3 like it was intended to be, but either way it'll be a great game.

What does it mean to "embrace user-created content?"

They dont HAVE to do anything. Just leave it as a PS3 exclusive since M$ obviously blows

Because of Epic's pedigree of high compatibility across PC's and now consoles, it will take not as long as some people think. Nevertheless, UT3 is Epic's golden child and will make sure it stays as popular on the PS3 as Gears has on the 360.

UT has always been too fast paced for me.. i'll skip this one... :P

zarajoe, what are you talking about?! What do you think Xbox fans had to deal with for 4 years on the original console? ports were thrown left and right and people said that Playstation 2 games looked just as good as the Xbox ones. Well gee Beaver, why would that be? PORTS!!!!!

@ XB2B1 ... halo, halo 2 , star war kotor, fable, psychonauts, morrowind, pgr, dead or alive 3, splinter cell, ninja gaiden, forza, jade empire, the best xbox games were not PS2 ports. Know your games dude.

I love the ps3, but as concerns the release of a game like UT3 i will also like to see it on the 360 so that the online experience will be great, since it will be cross plateform. I will not want the consoles to hinder the online experience.

This will never happen but it would be awesome if PS3, 360, and PC gamers could play against one another. I would love watching a Team Sony vs Team Microsoft match with all the taunting, cussing, fanboys expressing their hate of the other teams console. Must see tv for me.
