'UT III' Delayed on PS3, Slips to 2008?

Posted by Brian Leahy - Wednesday, October 03, 2007 7:00 AM

Unreal Tournament III was a timed console exclusive for the PlayStation 3 in 2007. It appears that it might be in 2008, with the 360 version.

The PC version is still expected to ship in November, but Midway's financial report shows that it could slip to 2008.

Epic's Mark Rein has posted on Epic's forums, stating:

"As a public company, Midway felt an obligation to its shareholders to let them know about the possibility of a delay. But our goal is still to get the PS3 version of UT3 in stores before the end of 2007. However, we will only ship it once it?s ready and is the best game we can deliver. The PC version is still on track for a November release."

The PS3 also makes a great door stop and some people have converted into a BBQ grill.
It's good to see the PS3 coming to some practical use since it's use as a gaming machine is apparently not a priority due to a severe lack of games.

BBQ GRILL?!?!?! NO FACKEN WAY!

hey as long as the game is the best it can be, i can wait.

If it slips to 2008, then the PS3 won't have any real flagship titles for the holiday that will convince people to buy one now that 80GB model is going to be the standard SKU. It doesn't really matter though. The PS3 version will identical to the PC and 360 version, except the 360 version will be much, much better with Xbox Live and achievements, etc. But no matter what system you get it for, it's sure to be great. Unreal rules.

You didn't hear that midway is putting more maps on the ps3 because of extra space with the bluray?

Posted by neonchez - Wednesday, October 3, 2007 9:36 AM

Posted by cascade - Wednesday, October 3, 2007 10:12 AM

warheart the xbox 360 version is gonna be a dumped down port of the pc version cuase its a weaker console

Posted by neonchez - Wednesday, October 3, 2007 10:24 AM

@Warheart1188

yes, i heard about the dlc but the ps3 gets it for free because it fits on the blu-ray disk. do you really think ms is going to just give it away for free, i doubt it.

and according to the gamestop website the 360 version is also coming out in 08. the release date is listed as 02/01/08.

Posted by OBAMAISBUSHpart3 - Wednesday, October 3, 2007 10:26 AM

I just dawned on me why the PS3 version (not surprisingly) just got delayed until next year just like GTA 4,you feel me?Frame rate issues own the PS3 unfortunately,you feel me?The (Time Crisis 4) gameplay trailer i just watch on here clearly illustrates the consistent frame rate issues (Madden 2008) that plagues the PS3 just like an innocent person's computer that is hacked by a hacker thru these social networking websites,you feel me?

in a perfect world, 360 players vs. ps3 players online. wouldn't that be sweet?

Posted by santjnthn - Wednesday, October 3, 2007 11:15 AM

Okay, for those who keep talking about Bluray, it does not matter, the game will be the same on PS3, Xbox 360 and PC. Xbox Live is better anyways because of the achivements and new downloadible maps. I'm sure they will sell the maps on both systems or maybe give out a map for free like they did on Gears - this is for those who don't own an Xbox 360. I hope you know your holding your self back... For some reason, and I might be wrong, I got a feeling that they game is going to look a whole lot better on Xbox 360, since many games that have come out on both systems seems to look, play alot better on Xbox 360. (Madden and all EA sports games)(VF5 with online play) hey, but the way.. $50.00 a year for Xbox live is not bad, think about how much stuff some of us are taking advantage of. I think this is why Sony's online service is not working for them, these companies are about profits, not just givig things away..

PS3 mistake... Bluray.. Space is really not a factor... Developers are not complaining... What they are complaining about is the development issue just trying to make a game on a PS3... GTA 4 was ready for the Xbox 360, look what happend now... Not good... UT III. I bet it's the same issue... Development time a problems with the PS3... I put my money on it..

Posted by Spike47 - Wednesday, October 3, 2007 12:15 PM

you guys are just a sad bunch.


the ps3 version was delayed because of of hardware problems, so what?


the game was on the 360 anyway? Did we lose an exclsuive?NO.

IT'S STILL GONNA BE IN 2007, with the 360 version arriving later.
atleast whenI buy the game I don't have to face rrod problems.

you xbots are just worthless, you bash the ps3 for just about any reason,


why are'nt you playing halo3?

Posted by Spike47 - Wednesday, October 3, 2007 12:17 PM

man ofteal why did u get banned?



oh since g4 is'nt gonna post the news since for some reason they never post the fact that the falcon 360s are having the same rrod problems or that foklore just got a 9.0 from ign.


yeah, foklore a ps3 exclsuive just got a 9.0, which makes it another AAA after warhawk.

Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune.
Hey there everybody! Wanted to let you know that Drake’s Fortune hit Beta on Sunday, September 16th!

so some good news for PS3

Posted by undeadforest - Wednesday, October 3, 2007 12:30 PM

How can anyone argue that the 360 has better graphics. I saw Halo 3 on a big screen 1080p through HDMI and there were jags and pixelation on the edges of the animations during not only gameplay but the cutscenes too.

Posted by realitysux21 - Wednesday, October 3, 2007 12:43 PM

^^i gotta play through it again to see it
cuz i ddn see ny problems

but newayz i wuz gonna get dis for the ps3 but now i gotta think abt it
suld i go w/ the 360 or ps3

i hv the original ps3 60 gig biyatches (which i personally thinks is better then the 80 gig)
ps haze looks lik crap
drakes fortune seems kinda retarted but ill buy tht for my holiday season and the rest is guna b for the 360

but i cnt wait for next year wen my deserted ps3 wll finally be able to play games for once (besides rfom)

Posted by Jedihunter15 - Wednesday, October 3, 2007 1:02 PM

Posted by HALOscorpian - Thursday, October 4, 2007 8:24 PM

yet another game a 360 game is being held back because of the PS3...but anyway i think that when it says the 360 version of the game thats being held back is not Unreal Tournament, i think it means Unreal Champianchip

Posted by Fuoman - Thursday, October 11, 2007 2:34 PM

Ive just stat here and read ll the BS what half of you people have typed up. 360 fan boys get your facts right before you try to argue what systems are better. Blue ray does make a big difference in making games with higher capacity a developer is able to ad alot more to a game whether it be maps more intellectual AI or better character mapping. 360 users argue that live is better, I beg to differ they may have achievement but PSN is a more reliable service they offer server based game matches and p2p where as most of the xbox live games use p2p. PSN has a store just the same as the xbox live does. Xbox live uses a points system for currency, PSN uses the actual American dollar. Playstation 3 network is upgradable an there is room to grow like the ps3 in korea has tv over IP and the upcomming release of HOME in 08 will be another step forward.

Posted by Fuoman - Thursday, October 11, 2007 2:35 PM

Xbox also had a year up on the realease of ps3 so there is obviously more games for it. what where the big games in the first 6-10 months of it's release? oblivion, that is about that would have been considered amazing. In this case with UT3 it will look much better on the ps3 due to the power behind the hardware, xbox does look good (gears of war) but UT3 will be more intense requiring more disc space. games in the future 6-12 months will look much better on the ps3. It is all because of the difference in time release of the systems. Xbox has had many issues with the red ring deal and the halo discs being scratched.
