Unreal Tournament 3's GoW2 surprise is a video

by Dustin Burg { Jun 10th 2008 at 4:30PM }

The hipster cats over at NeoGAF spotted the official box art for Unreal Tournament 3 over a UK store GAME. Not such a big deal, right? No, WRONG! You see, Epic has previously stated that they'll be bundling some sort of exclusive Gears of War 2 surprise content with UT3 and this newly discovered box art tells us exactly what the exclusive content is. Look closely and you'll spot the GoW2 circle on the right mentioning the inclusion of exclusive "video content on disc". That's right, no exclusive Gears 2 demo, player skins or in-game Gears 2 goodness ... just video content. We guess we can live with that, but for anyone who specifically plopped down an UT3 pre-order solely for the exclusive Gears goods, we recommend you think about spending $60 on video.

Fine by me. I was going to buy UT3 no matter what. This is just a nice little incentive.

Thats kind of assy, I'm more into UT3 than I am into GOW2 but they could have done better than that.

Before we get the EPIC FAIL pun going around. The video could be in-house behind the scenes footage. Mind you, it'll end up being captured and YouTubed on day one. UT3 was a pretty crazy shooter. Over Live with friends it should be fun. If only there weren't a slew of other great games coming out this year I'd rather play.

can we start the pun now? EEEEEEEPIC PHAIL!!!

No MODs? No Gears 2 skins? NO SALE!!

Sorry better of with the other versions of the game :/

No thanks, I'll catch it on youtube and stick with Ninja Gaiden, still playing the original gears so it'll pass me over till 2.

A video is the big Gears 2 surprise in UT3? Color me underwhelmed.

No thanks. Not even going to bother with UT3 this late in the game and with being the most gimped version of them all and still charging $60.00.

That certainly is a surprise.

....Okay. Does this suprise anybody? Really? It's a pretty simple market ploy. You jsut give people the thought of something potentially valuable (Gears of War 2= nuff said for most gamers) then you get the video and sit there feeling like a dumbass.

Still, doesn't affect me. There's a ton of other games coming out right now that have captured my interest more than UT3.
