Anyone heard anything about UT3 PS3 reviews?

I've heard the frame-rate is good on the PS3 version. Is this the real deal? As in locked 30fps? Any screen-tearing?

Its been noted that the framerate is locked at 30. 1UP has mentioned that its rock solid and "very smooth" as per Garnett...
 
It accepts input from all devices simultaneously, so you can even use the left side of the controller for analog movement and the mouse for aiming, though it would take some creative remapping.

I might have to do this until someone can confirm one of those 'half gamer keyboards things' work on the ps3.

I cant have a full keyboard work in my setup.

Exclusive Gears characters & weapons man!

That would be rich. Hell, some of the characters already look like they are straight out of Gears of War. I swear a few of the armor sets are straight up recycled from Gears.

I have been playing it.

Looks great on PS3. While my PC isn't the fastest, I was able to make a direct comparison.

Does anyone know if the PC demo supports the full graphics fidelity of the final game? Based on the demo, the PS3 version is better looking. Some aspects of the lighting looked nicer on PS3 and I love the motion blur effect (especially when used with a mouse). Can you enable motion blur on the PC in the full game? The rest of the graphical areas are the same as the highest settings on the PC. No reductions were made and the game (thus far) has never dropped from 30 fps (with v-sync). Thanks to the motion blur, it actually feels awesome at 30 fps. The texture work is also really really good (better than Gears of War, I'd say, in terms of actual resolution). Image quality is also excellent. No AA (as expected), but AF is in use.

I'm also a fan of the slightly lower play speed. I thought it would bother me, but no, it's very nice and works well. It really isn't that much slower even (just enough to make gamepad play more enjoyable).

The feature set seems to be the same as the PC version all the way across the board. It plays OK with a pad, but I quickly realized that UT requires a mouse and keyboard. As such, I've been using such a config and it feels great.

Of note, I am using a USB hub plugged into the PS3 with the mouse and keyboard plugged into it (this acts as an extension). I was surprised that it worked so well. Heck, the keyboard I'm using for this game is a German keyboard (all I had on hand) and it's just fine (though treated as a US keyboard).

The game does a small HDD installation (takes about 20 seconds) when you first start up, but load times between matches are very short (faster than my PC, but again, my PC isn't that hot right now). It probably takes a good 10 seconds maybe? Regardless, it feels quick. There is texture draw-in when the match first starts up (as there is on my PC), but it quickly fades and does not occur during the match.

So, yeah, it's a fantastic port. It is quite possibly the finest PC to console effort I've yet to encounter.
 
Nice impressions. It's odd to me that I'll have so many first person games. I only had one on ps2 (Timespliters 2, not counting SOCOM 2 and like 3rd person with first person toggle).
 
Picked it up at EB and have yet to play it. The guy working there is psyched to play it and he mentioned that nobody has been picking up the PC version but they had a whole bunch of orders for the PS3 version. So hopefully that is a good sign.

Bad sign for mod community :(.

Wow.

Fuck Midway. I may buy now.
 
This game has the Dark10x seal of approval... sorry Orange Box, my money is going to Mark Rein... at least until the next OB review comes out :P

Gears?
granted that is slower paced but it has a lot more detail and the framerate is 30fps too

Different game type, and I think the guy in the quote means with all the crap going on in the fights. It's paced different from gears, and apparently more open.

The mod fans already have their copy, no doubt.

Modders should care whether the game they're working on sells or not. Look at Dystopia, or the other HL2 (and HL2 sold like a million+) mods. Most multiplayer mods suffer from a dying community and have like 4+ active servers. Why mod for a game no one will play? Not every mod is CS, DoD. I'm just saying, will we see UT3 mods? Of course. But will the mod community be as active as UT04?

Epic's said they working on another MSU contest which was the key factor in mod activity for UT2K4.

Lovely impressions I can trust 100% :)

Well at least this version has online, so 1up has no reason to give the 360 one a 10.

It would be a bit ironic if the 360 version was bumped up for having offline multiplayer in this case, wouldn't it?

Gears really isn't that much more detailed, though. Early PS3 builds were all 60 fps too, but I'm sure it was locked to support the larger game types with lots of players (Warfare mode). They should have offered a framerate unlock option or something for smaller matches.

In the end, I do agree that Gears remains the better looking game, but I do believe it has everything to do with what the game was designed to be.

Thanks. I always trust yours as well, so I'm happy to return the favor.
 
Another review is out.

PSX Extreme: 95

''To wrap things up, if you can't tell by now, Unreal Tournament III is a blockbuster hit. It's exactly what we were hoping for it to be; a brilliantly executed arena-based first-person shooter, with a plethora of depth, speed, and a virtually infinite scope on replay value. User-created content will drive this game and its online community for years to come, just as it has on the PC. It is visually stunning to behold, with superb texture detail everywhere you look. It allows for mouse and keyboard gameplay, and features a sublime online facet. Unreal Tournament III is the pinnacle of first-person shooters. Others: take note.''
 
Walmart's useless and they don't have the game either

"Do you know when you might get the game in?"
"We get shipments everyday, we don't know when stuff comes in"

>_<
 
Yup same here , checked a few stores and no one has it.

I gotta spend money on a coat and a night out with my gf so i dont know if i can afford until after xmas :(

4 reviews on metacritics , one 80 and the rest above 80 . avg 87.

Must-buy for shooter fans , long as you already own COD4.

Damnit i really want this , and im terribly impatient , ill probably crack and put it on my CC soon lol. If so will post impressions! (mostly about keyb+m)
 
Hello!

Would anyone care to inform me on whether or not this game has a Single player campaign, and is it a good single player experience?

Gracious thanks.
