UT3 PS3 release

Mark Rein · 10-02-2007, 08:46 PM

(sorry folks but the thread on Midway stating that they "expect" a delay in the PS3 got accidentally deleted when one of the forum admins was trying to delete a particular post so here's a repeat of what I posted on this subject)...

As a public company, Midway felt an obligation to its shareholders to let them know about the possibility of a delay. 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.

In addition there is some good news as a little extra time in development means that now the PS3 version will have all of the same maps as the PC version whereas we previously expected to ship a fewer maps on console.

The PC version is still on track for November with a downloadable demo to be made available prior to retail release.

Thank you for clearing this up, Mark.

Hmm...i would have thought there would be an obscene amount of replies already on the slightly more confirmed release date.

Is there a demo coming for PS3 this month or the next? When you say it is on track for releasing by the end of 2007, does that mean that you guys are still trying to get it out on the planned november release? I thought the reason not all the maps were coming to the ps3 wasnt because of time, but because there wasn't enough RAM in the PS3. This is a timed release, so the xbox 360 verion will be delayed x amount of months depending on how much the PS3 one is delayed?

No, the PS3 will not get a pre-launch demo.
And no, we won't see a November release of the PS3 version however it will ship with all maps and nothing being cut.

there was a quote about them not having enough resources... in light of what mark said, my guess is the "resouce" was time.
