Midway changes Unreal Tournament 2007 to Unreal Tournament 3 and expands the platforms to include PS3 and Xbox 360...
"Using the Unreal Engine 3 (what other engine would it really use?), Epic's seminal first-person shooter will douse gamers with gorgeous, life-like graphics, arm them with unbelievable futuristic and brutal weaponry, and hurl them into online deathmatches like never before."
We believe this is a great move for Midway/Epic to cover all platforms with this release. Although it is a bit disappointing for those PC gamers that used to have a more "exclusive" game, it won't hurt Midways sales figures to broaden their development efforts.
"Epic plans to provide advanced online changes to suit all three platforms, bringing seamless loading, improved matchmaking and co-operative campaign online play. Yes, cooperative online play indeed. Familiar online modes such as Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch and Capture the Flag will be joined by an all-new Warfare mode among others. And PC gamers will be happy to get their sweaty mitts on the bundled Unreal Engine Toolset, enabling them to build their own levels, game types, rules, mods, and more."
Unreal Tournament has always been a staple fast-paced FPS multi-player frenzy on the PC and Macintosh, will it live up to the 360 "Halo" crowd? A popular title with great features, smooth graphics and undeniable fun could migrate Halo 2 players to a new game (if Gears of War didn't do it) and perhaps lighten the expectations on Halo 3?
