Are you going to switch TF2 GAF Server 2 to UT3?
 
im not a halo fan, so if most of the magazines scored a 9 in the graphics department for halo 3, what will UT3 get then? 12?

and the ps3 version looks nearly as good as the pc one, i liked what i saw at GC

Halo 3's tech isn't anywhere near UT3, but the art is much much much more appealing than UT3 to me.
 
My first reaction: My computer can barely handle TF2 on minimal settings, I have no chance of being able to run this :(

My second reaction: TWO MORE WEEKS :lol
 
YES YES YES

I knew it

So, it'll work on my 9700 Pro, XP 2800+, 1GB PC2700. Will have to try it, just to see how it runs and looks. Probably as bad as UT2003 ran on my previous system; Geforce 2 MX400, XP1700+, 512MB PC2700. :lol

Oh... but wait, some people earlier in the thread were saying they could reserve it already at Fileplanet? How does that work if it's not exclusive? Can I do it if I have a Fileplanet login (but no subscription)?

what the hell is a 'beta demo' :\

It's a demo that could possibly change how the final game is handled, if theres huge problems running the demo on different pc's they have to change things.

I think its just a fancy string of words, you know how theres lots of beta's these days.

My 9600se says BRING IT!
 
"And it's not even for the best FPS of the year, imagine if they announced a CoD4 PC beta."

I would laugh at it then go back to playing the best FPS of the year. UT3. Duh!
 
Too bad the beta definitely won't run on my laptop at school. At my home computer it would, but I'm not home. Oh well, at least I know the game will run on my 360:D
 
This would be cool, if my PC was able to play thsi damned game.

oh, TF2 will lick my bitter tears i hope.

Oh teh noes how will this play on my new macbook pro...grr!!!

The new MBP's have the DDR3 versions of the 8600M GT, right? It should be fine (darn my GDDR2 8600M GT.... darn nvidia with such a confusing notebook GPU lineup...)
 
Wow, I'm just loving the amount of quality PC games coming out this holiday season. :D
I can't freaking wait for the Beta...how are they going to do it? Is it going to be another fileplanet download or epic going to host it themselves?
 
This has been a banner year for PC gaming. Let's have a look at the list...

STALKER
Command & Conquer 3
World In Conflict
Supreme Commander
ET: Quake Wars
Team Fortress 2
Bioshock
WoW: Burning Crusade
Lord of the Rings Online
Company of Heroes: Opposing Fronts
DiRT
Oblivion: Shivering Isles
Europa Universalis III
Tomb Raider Anniversary
Galactic Civilizations II: Dark Avatar
Civ IV: Beyond the Sword
Overlord
Two Worlds

...and more on the way. Why do I need an Xbox 360 again?

I just got back from Epic moments ago and thought I'd share this little morsel with you. It looks like the Unreal Tournament 3 demo will be released this Friday. They were putting the finishing touches on it last night; didn't want to release it the same day as the Call of Duty 4 demo (Thursday), so Friday appears to be the big day for the UT3 demo. Stay tuned for the full hands-on preview after I type it up (cough).

Gibfest coming soon to a computer near you!

Also, a few details on the demo.

Beyondunreal said:
The party is over at Epic HQ and everyone is now headed home via plane or car. I do have a few bits of information to pass along and Brizz and I will be writing out more details from the event very soon.

First of all, the demo will not feature a Warfare map. Having played a few of them, I can say that there's a very good reason why: while they all share similar core gameplay, all the maps we played and discussed seem to have a different twist to them. Just sampling one wouldn't give you a very good perspective of what they are like. Torlan_Necris, for instance, is somewhat similar to standard Onslaught, with the addition of the orb. Another we played had one side with a heavily defended base, while the other team had a number of hard-hitting vehicles with which to attack. Still others feature triggerable events to aid in comebacks such as landslides and floods. It's a very versatile gametype and it seems to be much deeper than Onslaught.

DM-HeatRay is planned to be in the demo. It is the destroyed urban environment that features a lone DarkWalker which is dropped in at specified times during the match. The level strongly conveys a UT-like city setting (complete with the occasional train running on an overhead track) is pretty stunning.

VCTF-Suspense is the second demo map. Set on an immense suspension bridge, this level is set up with Axon vs Axon vehicles and the action takes place in three planes: on platforms high above the bridge, as well as on and under the bridge. It has a nice mix of open sniping areas and tight corridors. There's a little water there too if you care to take a dip.

The final demo map may be DM-ShangriLa. This one has been seen in some of the videos before. It features buildings with Asian-themed architecture and the action takes place around a courtyard.

There's lots more to talk about so stay tuned while we all make the return trip.

Nice
 
Holy shit. This is gaming week. It's like going to some sort of sexy drunk party. Orange Box, CoD4, UT3 all in one week.
