E3 2007: No Unreal Tournament 3 for Xbox 360
During the Sony press conference today, it was announced that SCEA, Midway and Epic have entered into a deal with Epic for Unreal Tournament 3 to be exclusive to the PS3 console. It looks like the PC and PS3 will be the only options to get your Unreal fix. (at least until the timed exclusive deal runs out)
“We feel very confident that Unreal Tournament 3 will continue to deliver on Epic’s promise to gamers to develop only the highest quality titles using our cutting-edge Unreal Engine 3 technology,” said Mark Rein, vice president and co-founder, Epic Games. “The game takes full advantage of the power of the PLAYSTATION 3 system, and Unreal Tournament 3 will for the first time allow users to create robust user created content, known as “mods”, on the PC version and play them on the PLAYSTATION 3 system. We’re extremely excited about this and we feel this will bring a level of creativity, innovation and replayability not previously seen on home consoles.”

I was surprised to see that Unreal won’t be coming to the 360. Man that Metal Gear looked nice.

It’ll probably come out in January 2008 =D
Gamespot “That exclusivity will remain until “early 2008,” when an Xbox 360 version will be released.”

It’s coming in 2008…
No one would have been playing it until then anyway with Halo 3 and Call of Duty 4.

I was just going to bring that up. Timed exclusive isn’t the same as exclusive. It just helps me to not have to spend more money on games this holiday!
Surely, there’s a game that’ll take UT3’s position in my gaming library until it releases.

Unreal Tournament 3 is a timed exclusive and if you watched the Sony key note he even says “Exclusive this year” meaning it will be on 360 next year, and i believe that Epic had already said that they where working on it for the 360 …
