Default Update On un3 for the Xbox360

Over the last few months, we have laughed at Sony for losing lot of exclusives to the Xbox 360 but today they got their little revenge by announcing that Unreal Tournament 3 will be exclusive to the PlayStation 3 and PC in 2007. That means that the Xbox 360 version won't ship before January 2008, at the earliest.

Furthermore, the PS3 version will support user-generated content. We don't know yet if the Xbox 360 version will support such a feature, considering the rigorous rules for content available through Xbox Live Marketplace.

MIDWAY, EPIC GAMES AND SONY COMPUTER ENTERTAINMENT AMERICA ANNOUNCE UNREAL TOURNAMENT® 3 AS EXCLUSIVE TO PLAYSTATION®3 SYSTEM AND PC IN 2007

First Game To Offer Robust User Created Content on PLAYSTATION 3 system

CHICAGO, IL – July 11, 2007 – Midway Games Inc.

Thanks to the open network of the PLAYSTATION 3 system, Unreal Tournament 3 will also be the first game to feature robust user generated content including multiplayer maps, custom game modes and much more. Developed by North Carolina-based, Epic Games Inc., Unreal Tournament 3 is scheduled to be available in November.

The technology behind Unreal Tournament 3, Epic's world class Unreal® Engine 3 will be fully optimized for the PLAYSTATION 3 system allowing game developers to take full advantage of the power and creativity that the engine offers.

We're extremely excited about this and we feel this will bring a level of creativity, innovation and replayability not previously seen on home consoles."

"We expect Unreal Tournament 3 to be one of the most innovative and defining titles of this next generation," said Jack Tretton, president and CEO, Sony Computer Entertainment America. "We are extremely pleased that gamers will only be able to experience Unreal Tournament 3 on the PLAYSTATION 3 system later this year."
