UT3 PS3 ships without PC mod support

Posted on December 13th, 2007 at 07:49 EDT

Epic Games has revealed that the North American PlayStation 3 release of Unreal Tournament III has omitted the use of PC mod support due to various “legal/release issues”.

“The PS3 mod tools aren't quite ready yet”, stated Josh Adams, programmer for Epic Games. “We are working through some final legal/release issues."

Adams revealed that users would have to download an update in order to receive mod functionality in the game: "When it's ready, you will need to download the latest PC patch and another PS3 Mod Tools 'patch' that adds the full PS3 mod support to the PC version”, he said.

”PC mods will then need to be processed for PS3 use. You will have to cook your mods for the PS3 specifically. You will also need removable media (memory card, USB drive, etc) to transfer the mod from your PC to your PS3."

As for when the update would be available for consumers to download, Adams could only reveal, "We will have the tools ready ASAP!!" Epic is also flirting with the idea of implementing splitscreen play in the PS3 version of the game, adding, "We're aware that some of our customers wanted splitscreen for the PS3 version of UT3. We hear you and will evaluate the feature for possible future updates to UT3."

Stay tuned for more information on Unreal Tournament III as we get it.

This news must be a shock for those getting it this year!! I guess there are a few more things to wait for with this game sometime next year! I wish we could perform the mods on the PS3 itself somehow!?!

Babiloo if thats the case, then find new friends in real life, or on PSN to play with. Personally i cant stand split screen, i paid all this money for a next gen experience. Not to play in 12inch square on the tv.......

Eh,until the patch is released,there's plenty of fun filled maps on the ps3 version as it is.

I picked up this title day 1, the visuals are awesome but...I'm not overly impressed by some of the audio. Anyone else feel that way..?

No split screen? That's weird. I guess it doesn't matter since I usually play online and would rather have the entire tv to myself  :p

My only worry is that the mod makers wont take the time to actually make the PS3 specific mods.

RETITLE THE ARTICLE. It's is NOT a problem with PS3 UT3. PS3 UT3 is perfectly capable of importing mods, it's the UE3 TOOLS that don't have PS3 exporting functionality yet. Re-read what he said. PC UT3 get's a patch, and the UE3 toolset gets a patch. PS3 doesn't need one.

Split screen functionality on PS3 UT3 will require a patch, yes, but the mod thing is a UE3 toolset issue. Not an issue with PS3 UT3.

If UT3 can do split-screen with an update, so should Motorstorm.

Come on Evolution (and Midway). Make it happen.

I hope they add split screen not only because a ton of people, including myself, want it, but also because it would shut up all the idiots that are saying, "It sucks because they'res no split screen." And Epic, take your time with the mod patch because I want that sh'' to be 99.99% perfect.

split screen would be much appreciated, also thankyou for including mods and the hard work of getting them out there.

I should imagine that pc gamers wouldn't be worried yet, because they have the single player but if i were a pc gamer i i'd want them mods lol.

eh, too bad actually but I can't see this taking too long before one can import a mod - too bad tho as I am sure people have already come up with some crazy shlt

Dunno why Unreal didn't have spilt screen support from the begininng ... rather upset to find out that it wasn't available ...

Good to know epic is at least considering implentning the feature

i think split screen would be an added plus i dont see why its so bad dont invite your friends to play if you want the screen all to your self. I actually think it's a must because i know i wouldn't be a gamer wanting to just watch my friend play all day and take up all the fun.

ASAP is good enough to know, EPIC isn't going to panhandle the mod group's when this is finally finished.
