UT 2007 Might Make The PS3 Launch

Gamespot reports that despite earlier reports, Epic plans to ship UT 2007 'when it's done', and not before. Additionally, the PC version is likely to be shipped first. From the article: "'Do you know when the PS3 launch is? Neither do we,' said Epic vice president Mark Rein. 'but we know when UT2007 will be done: WHEN IT'S DONE! ... The question of whether we're a launch title or not is unanswerable because we don't know if the PS3 will be out before we're done or not. ... We won't ship the title on any platform before it's done, and it is too early to say when that will be.'"

You can see why Sony would want UT2007 to be available on launch day. With all the attention Call of Duty 2 (Xbox 360) is getting, they also want a high-profile FPS shooter to promote the machine's capability.
Looking at this list, Final Fantasy PS3, Metal Gear Solid 4, Tekken PS3, (and maybe maybe Devil May Cry 4) are the only heavyweights... I know there are sh*tloads of other games to come (Gran Turismo PS3... raaahhh), but IMHO they do need a little more than this.
