UT 2K7 Slated for PS3 Launch

Gamespot is reporting that the next iteration in the Unreal Tournament series, UT 2007, has been announced as a PlayStation 3 launch title. From the article: "The game on display appeared to be Unreal Tournament 2007, the flashy-looking, Unreal Engine 3-based successor to the popular PC shooter Unreal Tournament 2004. However, neither Sony nor Epic would confirm when--or even if--UT 2007 would arrive on the PS3. Seven months later, the two companies have broken their silence. The January 2006 issue of PlayStation Magazine proudly proclaims that, yes, UT 2007 is coming to the PlayStation 3. Inside, the magazine also reveals that the game will be a launch title for the PlayStation 3, which is tentatively slated for a spring 2006 launch."

A very good looking game

Personally, the UT games have grown stale as far as gameplay... however, there is no denying the graphical prowess of UT2k7. I have seen the engine demos in person twice and both times I was left in awe of what I was seeing. To imagine a console pumping out those graphics at a silky smooth frame-rate is pretty amazing, now if only some more substance and gameplay would get mixed in... I just might actually play an FPS on a console.

Actually, Epic just makes the UT part mostly to sell the engine to other developers. The game itself is mostly a big advertisement of what the engine can do.

Ooh, if only i'd saved those mod points...
