Probably Wednesday for the PS3.

Weeks ago for the PC.

Rather than umpteen UT3 threads, let's post on one please. It makes it easier for UT3 fans to "one stop shop".

I'm reading that if you disable 720 in the XMB you'll get 1080 on this title, waiting for confirmation tho

Ok I disabled 720P and went into the game, it changed my display to 720X480, then it changed it to 1080i (Where it started). But the game looks like its 480P not HD in this mode.

So how does the game look? It's using the same engine as Gears, is that correct?

so's your face
12-11-07, 06:02 PM
the back of the box only says 720p for supported video...

the game itself seems fun(i could only squeeze in 30 minutes) and the multiplayer is fast and frantic.

So how does the game look? It's using the same engine as Gears, is that correct?
visually, i thought the initial cutscene was "alright", but the gameplay visuals are gorgeous. and i thought gears used its engine. but the initial cutscene did look an awful lot like gears.

the controls seem pretty standard and similar to resistance.

the frames seemed very smooth for 30fps.

that's all i can think of off the top of my head.

I'm playing the game in 1080p and it looks fantastic,games fun as hell. The framerate is also silky smooth.

When I went from 720p to 1080p the visuals increased dramaticly on my 60 inch sony. Remember to load the game to youre Hard Drive.
Also theres post processing effects you can change,I currently like vivid..makes it look like gears of war.

One thing I don not like is all the texture loading,maybe they will fix it in a patch.

Lots of maps,tons of crazy Vehicles and weapons. 3 diffrent kinds of weapon types as well, you come defaulted with a hammer similar to the chainsaw in GoW,a trap/teleport type weapon (think half life portal) and youre standard weapon. You can also Feign Death!! how cool is that..

I can't imagine the mods people will make for this beast of a game. I think this game is going to be huge

it does have co op campaign online (no clue how many players can participate tho). Not sure about the co op offline, never checked,been to busy playing CTF :p

12-11-07, 06:49 PM
From what I have seen posted on other forums, the game has coop online only. No split screen. Please someone elaborate on this and correct me if I am wrong.

Nothing to elaborate... split screen is not in the game. Only online or LAN setups for multi-play.

ign.com has a very postive hands-on preview up before they publish a final review:

A lot of the times, there are errors in the specifications listed on PS3 boxes. So I wouldn't go by that info as reliable.

I too would appreciate more confirmation that this game can output 1080p/i.

OMG, that's terrible. Are they going to recover? That is one of my biggest fears.

UT III is pretty sweet. I was playing a bit earlier and having a great time. I just wrote up a little review in the other "official" thread.

It will output to 1080 resolution only if your HDTV has no 720P option or it is manually unchecked.
