New Unreal Tournament 3 details emerge

by Dustin Burg { Feb 28th 2007 at 7:30PM }

Over at the Beyond Unreal forums, Doc Shock translated a German gaming magazine's interview with Jeff Morris about Unreal Tournament 3. From the translation and follow up by TeamXbox we learn that Unreal Tournament 3 will include a co-op option for the campaign, similar to how Gears of War works. They are also implementing voice commands where you'll be able to give a bot simple instructions to carry out, like navigating a vehicle or protecting a base. Morris also confirms that there will be 12 weapons, 15 vehicles, and 30 plus maps to enjoy. And as always, we'll be playing Unreal Tournament 3 on our Xbox 360s "when it's done" ... because that's how Epic rolls.

Wow this is awesome. I hope the weapons are all fun unlike some games where people only use like two or three. and an addition of 30 maps is awesome. i cant wait 'till this game

GUH? 12 weapons and 15 vehicles, that seems odd.
Why would there be more cars than guns?

Either way, I'm still pumped.

Killer @ Feb 28th 2007 8:13PM

I want this game so badly.

J.Goodwin @ Feb 28th 2007 8:22PM

Sounds like they're taking cues from Rainbow Six.

Niiiiice.

BlessedBullet @ Feb 28th 2007 8:26PM

@4, if you're talking about voice commands for bots, Unreal did it before in UT2K4.

"2. GUH? 12 weapons and 15 vehicles, that seems odd.

My Opinion: Five special Weapons per team, vastly different, and each team will have a two weapon default loadout.

Fifteen Vehicles, err...this is probably vehicles that are related to only certain terrains or maps, and then there are probably some that only one team can occupy and so on and so forth.

...like i said, though, its just an opinion.

i can't wait for the mass destruction to begin!!!!

I'm sorry, but "roles"?

Virtua Fanboy @ Feb 28th 2007 8:56PM

I guess we'd better be ready for PS fans saying that they can't fit 30 levels on a dvd. lol

Curious to see this game on the PS3. it is coming to the PS3, isn't it?

Seroth @ Feb 28th 2007 9:10PM

Co-op campaign? So this means there will be an actual campaign mode in UT3? Not just a bunch of tournament matches like in the previous games?

Killer @ Feb 28th 2007 9:58PM

@8...Yes it is coming to the Ps3. What will it look like, well it's pretty safe to say it's going to look exactly like the 360 version, seeing that both systems graphically are equal in one way or another.

gtpunch @ Feb 28th 2007 10:37PM

@10 Exactly the same? Epic have implied that the PS3 doesn't have enough RAM available for graphics to match the 360:

"Preston was also asked if the PlayStation 3 will be able to handle the game, but presumably he dodged the question, but still implied that the answer was no."

It's so funny how long Sony managed to keep people believing that the PS3 was going to be a massive leap up from the 360. Now PS3 owners have to be content with graphics that are "almost as good".

DjDATZ @ Feb 28th 2007 10:45PM

your welcome boys. :D

anything to help out X360F. :D

(i have no clue how i ran across this article...)

DjDATZ @ Feb 28th 2007 10:50PM

scott @ Feb 28th 2007 10:58PM

J.Goodwin @ Feb 28th 2007 11:04PM

They're going to launch this against Halo?

WTF?

DjDATZ @ Feb 28th 2007 11:04PM

@14 scott...you have any sources to confirm this?

Peff @ Feb 28th 2007 11:15PM

Why is there so many insane games coming out? Unreal 3, Halo 3, Half-Life 2. there goes all my money.

Final Light @ Feb 28th 2007 11:17PM

Final Light...i submitted it...but credited it all to you.

for next time...the middle "column" of any page here at X360F has a subsection called Resources under which you have a link to "Send us News Tips" that takes you to http://xbox.joystiq.com/tips/ where you can submit news tips. if the crew here at x360f...thinks its relevant...they will write up about it...and credit you. (as they did with me with this news item)

Final Light @ Mar 1st 2007 1:24AM

To DJDatz

Epic is awesome. I was getting a little burned out by this series with Unreal Championship 2003 or whatever, but I am looking forward to this, especially after seeing what they've done with Gears. Good stuff.

The PS3 fiasco is just sad. 4 months later and they get a 360 port on the PS. It sucks that you can't even talk about that thing without sounding like a hater but Sony has just done everything wrong. I spend a ton of money on gaming and I would love nothing more than for Sony to give me a reason to own three systems again but I can't think of a thing they could do at this point to make me open my wallet for them again. God of War three maybe? By then the PS3 will cost 200 bucks anyway... way off topic. sorry

DjDATZ @ Mar 1st 2007 3:11AM

lets hope thats right scott...cuz then we can all be jolly 360 fanboys and laugh at the ps3 fanboys because we get the game 4 months earlier.

speculation: this could easily be due to the programming of their specific cell processors and how complex it is...
