According to Epic Games tech support, the Xbox 360 will get this too. I hope so. Because as much as I'd hate to upgrade, I'd hate to buy a PS3 just for this game. But I do believe it'd be cheaper for me to upgrade than buy a PS3.

I like the War of the Worlds-esque tri-pods. I can just see the UE3 mods and movies coming from this game.

Thanks for the link RAZ, I feel a bit more confident that it will hit 360 too. Maybe not at the same time as the PC, but atleast it'll be around. Now if only we could get Crysis...yea I know...I'll sit down now...

i'm getting this for pc cause this type of gameplay is ment to be fast and frantic and mouse and keyboard allows for a way better control over the fast action....

yup, after seeing it on the 360 press site it must be coming

2006-05-10 21:44:31

I'm watching an interview live from E3 right now, and asked about the control methods on PC and PS3 they make no mention of mouse input on the PS3. Instead they go into how pads are better for vehicle control so they're making some changes to the PS3 version in that regard.

Did Sony look at the different factors involved and removed mouse support from ps3 games? That'd sort of.. save singleplayer FPS games on PS3.

I don't think this is coming to 360. Could be wrong though.

2006-05-12 23:31:34

This interview seems to indicate, very subtly, that UT2007 will be coming to the 360. Not a full or blatant confession, but between UT2007 appearing on the Xbox.com game release list & comments like this, well, draw your own conclusions...

2006-05-12 23:35:19

yea its coming to the 360, but watch cliffy b's gears of war video on teamxbox and find out why people that get gears of war are the true lucky ones ;)

UT2007 wont be as great a game as gears of war will be.

But he brought it up in relation to Microsoft not supporting an open network, which really makes me wonder how Huxley is going to work.

This is part of the reason i guess why Microsoft want a Live for windows so they can have cross platform and still keep an eye on abuse and what not.

I think UT is way too fast pased for console gaming anyway, console gamers would be playing the game totally different to PC gamers.

PS3 gamers would be hiding in the shadows behind walls where as PC gamers would be running around spraying bullets all over the place.

May 12, 2006 - Yesterday was a lot of fun. Mark Rein asked if I had seen UT 2007 yet, I said no. So he told me to meet him at the NVIDIA booth. I was expecting him to have UT2007 there but we just hung out shot the shit. Then it dawned on me that I was like, supposed to be interviewing him but my camcorder/camera thingie ran out of power like 10 minutes before so I couldn't record anything. Oops. Mark didn't say anything new about the release date or reveal any huge new Unreal Engine deals, so it's not like we missed out on anything. The only "newsworthy" piece was that (despite what might be listed on Xbox.com) there are no plans for a 360 port of UT 2007. I even asked something along the lines of "hey, I read on beyond unreal that there's plans to port Ut2007 to the 360." He was like, huh? Turns out that's not the case. He didn't rule out the possiblity of one someday, but it's just not in the cards now. They have high hopes for UT 2007 and think it'll be the best UT game yet. Not just from a visual standpoint, but the AI is tons better and they have a lot of cool new gameplay modes and stuff as well. Personally, I think there's a better chance for a new Unreal Championship game for the 360 than anything else.

And Gears of War will for sure have a better singleplayer. But in my mind nothing touches Unreal Tournament multiplayer.

Interesting. Got a link?

2006-05-13 04:35:23

360 got Unreal Tournament 2007 on its website the day they started thier E3 conferences without even saying a word, just let Cliffy B play the game. There isnt more honor than that. Running Epic's main game (even the epic websites main image is from GoW) on the go with Cliffy B as the first "speaker"

360 = 299 + 100 HDDVD = 399 | Wii = 199
Wii60 = 399 + 199 = 600$

2006-05-13 04:40:31

Think of it this way

Imagine if the game launched on both systems at the same time

PS3 = $500 - $600 vs $200-300 (after price drop) with proven Xbox Live service

It would hurt sales of the PS3 version, Epic stands to make more money with a staggered release so Mark Rein passes off disc space as an excuse (though since I think 3 or 4 levels of GoW = much more gamespace than 50 UT2007 maps that reason is phony)

360 owners happy with GoW
PS3 owners happy with UT2007,
Epic happy with sales
Release GoW on PC & UT2007 on 360 (with a pre-prepped 360 optimised GoW engine)

It would match up with Xbox.com & Midway confirming a 360 version as well as Reins comments about making a 360 version to take advantage of the hardware specific

http://www.theinquirer.net/?article=24161

"Rein confirmed that Epic won't be doing its Xbox 360 game as a launch title, as the company tried that elsewhere and burned itself.

Epic says it's taking its time as it wants to do the great game with great graphics for the Xbox 360."

PS3 gets a straight port due to optimising complexities of cell

2006-05-13 06:18:49

Um not to mention that the potential for FPS type games is probably a lot bigger on the 360 than the PS3, especially when the 360 will have 10 million more units out there.

If they release UT07 for 360 later on people will lose interest in it, especially when you have Halo 3 and Haze amongst the many WW2 games that are up coming.

Maybe the competition on the 360 is too high .. :P

Personally i think they would do more harm on total sales if they held back on the 360 version, sure the PS3 version may sell less well if consumers have the choice of the 360 version but it shouldn't matter which system they buy it on as long as they buy it.

2006-05-14 13:36:11

This topic is now locked until we get an official announcement that the game will be released for the 360, plus I'm sick of the rumors going around.

Future PS3 owners, I hope you know what you're getting because it's going to be fucking awesome!

Now, I'm off to spend a few hundred dollars on my PC, to play it proper.
