Mark Rein, VP of Epic Games, says that player made content for UT3 on PC will be fully compatible with the PS3 version.
The Rein, as no one likes to call him, in an interview with Gamasutra, said how the main difference between the PC and PS3 version is the controls, as obviously while the PS3 allows for more analogue movement then WASD, using a mouse to aim is a totally different ball park. Because of this, player made maps and mods that are made for the PC version should have full compatibility with the PS3 version.
There will also be a system in place, whereby mods that might be deemed 'offensive' will be blacklisted. No one wants a repeat of a 'goatse.cx' map (don't ask if you don't know...seriously, you're better off not knowing).
Mark Rein defends the PS3 and Sony quite strongly in the interview, and even gets a bit worked up over the mere suggestion that some games running on the current Unreal Engine look similar.
The Rein has always been a strong supporter of the PS3, and hopefully this means that more Epic games will be gracing the Sony box in the near future.
He also stated that he expects Sony to enjoy a prosperous holiday season, provided they take advantage of PS3’s capabilities as a Blu-ray player, in addition to the software available.
“When I said they were going to have a good Christmas, I didn’t necessarily mean because of our game”, said Rein. “They’ve got a lot going for them right now. It’s a great Blu-ray player. They’re going to push that really hard.”
“….And a great DVD player, too. They did a really good job on that. It really feels like it was designed for that kind of thing”, he added.
Stay tuned.

Mark Rein is the man. Always liked the cut of his jib.
I put down my preorder yesterday. One more awesome PS3 game to add to the collection for this year.
^Indeed there a bunch of game out there that worth every single penny. UT3 its one of them of course.
ok soo for some reason i cant post on the forums soo if anyone important reads this they need to get on the fact that the ps3 outsold the 360 in overall sales last week. Also this game is gonna b sick and i'm def. gettin it
Epic has always been one of my favorite companies. They just climbed up the ladder with this interview.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goatse.cx#Goatse_in_popular_culture
i was just about to ask what the goatse.cx map was, thanks for the link.
I just went to that link and I really would have been better off not knowing. Really! Don't follow that link.
Oh snap, I should've listened, DON'T GO TO THAT LINK, I think Im gonna hurl....................... (I Did) No man should ever lay eyes on something so sinister
In one corner, we have Gabe from Valve. In the other corner, we have Mark Rein.
ROUND ONE BEGINS
Oooooooh!!! Rein knocks Gabe out with one punch! WINNER.
psn id: gingo.... i like epic becasue they are a company that just want to make good games instead of complaining about this and that they get on with what they've got and get the best out of it
Okay,what is the goatse.cx?Nevermind,i was really off better without it.Man i think i'm gonna puke!,too late!!
Yea, I think I'm gonna vomitt now. Nobody look at that site!
I like him, He is smart and cool
Out of the interviews regarding Epic, he's the most approachable (besides Cliffy B). At least he was man enough to say that "he loves all there children" regardless of what platform there games is in one of the interviews.
Mark Rein your the gratest! (http://goatse.cz/ wasnt that horrifying :P )
Mark Rein is FTW!!!
i should have listened to all of these people saying don't go to it. Curiosity got the best of me and OMG i wanted to throw up... DON'T GO!!!!!!!!!!!!
The leming train of horror continues to murder innocents as they let their curiosity get the better of them... tsk tsk. For those that dont know: The Goatse.cx image has to do with a photo of a guy who's ANUSwas stretched so huge you could fit a medium size dog in it. If you've ever seen the image of it you'd know it, pray you never do, If there was a map designed around it It most certainly would not be one you want to play... Try NOT to view that image, please... seriously.
To that one dude that didn't seem to mind the pic: you are one sick puppy.
hahahaha goatse ew that was so gross when i saw it hahahaha
the pain, ooooooooooh the pain, it's unbearable, i wonder why ppl never do what they're told... goatsee is a f****** nightmare.....well back to topic, i'm just gona say that these are great news, altough i do prefer a mouse over a joypad in this kind of game....hmmm multiplatform content just sounds awsome.
