» Unreal Tournament 2007 Turns Into Unreal Tournament 3

IGN is reporting that Unreal Tournament 2007, the upcoming and latest game in Epic's multiplayer shooter series, has been renamed to Unreal Tournament 3. In addition to the PC and PS3, the story confirms that the game will also show up on the Xbox 360 console when it debuts late in 2007.

Hmm. UT, UT2k3, UT2k4, UT3...

Now, I know I am Canadian, so I shouldn't be trying to count this high, but shouldn't that be UT4? (only counting unreal tournaments here)

I think UT2K4 was supposed to replace UT2K3.

Supplant it, yeah... '04 had pretty much all of '03's content and added a bunch.

For PS3? Awesome, hopefully I'll be able to use a keyboard and mouse.


Spirit was crushed; now is fading, But I want to help make things right.
Because I can see and I can feel, and you can see and you can feel
So why don't we both either stand up and fight
Or at least together we'll call it a night.

Hopefully you won't. I love K/m but if it is allowed online on a console that isn't fair to the other players that are just using the controller. K/m will ruin a gamepad anyday.

Re: UT2007 to become Unreal Tournament 3, heads to 360

Shouldn't the XBox version be called Unreal Championship 3?

Re: UT2007 to become Unreal Tournament 3, heads to 360

Apparently not. The UC games were adaptations; this one looks fairly direct- altho balancing the control schemes will be key, at least if cross-platform play is envisioned.

XInput is the preferred input API for new games (at least by MS, and required to get the "Games for Windows" logo), so the 360 controller will have support 'out of the box' on PC as well. H2V, for example, is getting the XBox version's auto-aim when so controlled, to balance the better aim of kb/m input.

I can imagine UT3 being crossplatform on XBLA.

Now the wonder will be what the delay will be on the Mac version of UT3 after the windows release comes out. Glenda Adams.... you out there??? any thoughts?

Unreal Tournament 3 emerges from Unreal Tournament 2007, new screenshots & movie - Frans

Epic Games has announced that Unreal Tournament 2007, their upcoming futuristic multiplayer first-person shooter sequel, has been renamed to Unreal Tournament 3. We have now retitled our game section accordingly, and added the latest four officially released screenshots for download and online perusal, along with a new movie trailer in medium and extremely high resolutions to introduce the game's backstory in a bit under a minute of in-engine footage.

Unreal Tournament 3 Hands-On

It’s a game that’s been in development for quite a while but this week FiringSquad was one of the lucky few media outlets to be among the first to sit down and actually play Unreal Tournament 3 (formerly known as Unreal Tournament 2007) for the very first time. At Midway’s press event this week, developer Epic Games set up a 4x4 CTF tournament with one of UT 3’s maps and we played several rounds with other journalists while checking out the new vehicles and the revamped weapons.

UT 3’s name change came about because Epic Games didn’t want people that the game was simply a slightly improved chapter in the series but an all new title. According to Epic producer Jeff Morris, the game will have a more cohesive storyline than previous games in the series. You will be playing one pre-set character that not only has to deal with the futuristic and bloody tournament from the Liandri Corporation but also an all out war from the alien Necris. That’s pretty much all he would say about the storyline but it’s at least comforting that the single player portion will be more than just bot matches through the game’s map.

I had to leave some avenues to redemption open, right? big_smile

UT+Storyline...

Hmm... I dunno. I bought the old UT games for the Multiplayer, but if there's single player, well then I won't complain.

Heh, In a delightful coincidence, I discovered Unreal Tournament on The Disc when I picked up Macaddict's 2003 Games issue at a bookstore magazine rack. I have been a subscriber ever since.

Re: UT2007 to become Unreal Tournament 3, heads to 360

Dammit, if UT3 slips to September it'll push GoW PC into '08.

Damn, damn, damn. And H2V is now usually guesstimated for Q2/June, probably to coincide with the launch of XBLA. (So much for using it to hype the release of Vista, Le...)
