UT3 Won't Feature Cross Play Capability

Posted by Zonk on Thursday September 27, 2007 @06:20AM from the stick-to-your-roots dept.

Next Generation is reporting on comments from Epic's Mark Rein, who participated in an IRC chat with some members of the Unreal community recently. In the chat, Rein revealed that Unreal Tournament 3 will not feature the ability for PS3 and PC players to compete on the same servers. Said Rein, "We looked at how this would impact our ability to respond quickly to things happening at internet speed on the PC side of the equation and realized that this would not be in the best interests of our very loyal PC userbase because we would constantly be holding on to updates to wait until they passed cert on the console platform. Our PC fanbase is of ultimate importance to us. They are our bread and butter. We can't let them down or compromise their experience in any way to accommodate cross platform play."

I can do a 360 in midair on a console in a fraction of a second.. don't blink. Oops, you missed it.

*dolt* 360 is facing the same way you started. It's a no-op.

And remember, linux can complete an infinite loop faster than any other OS.
