IGN: Unreal Tournament III Delayed

further investigation has Epic saying the PC version will ship on time. the PS3 version Might make it on time, Might make it by the end of the year...or might not.

but the ps3 version will come with all maps that the pc version has.

OH YES...it has been confirmed that:
PC version will play vs PC version and PS3 Vs PS3

no PC vs PS3 games online.

Epic have said "maybe later" for cross-platform game matching.

You'd need your head looking at if you wanted to take your sixaxis up against the KB+Mouse users.

The PS3 version has support for kb+m setups.

It was confirmed weeks ago that there would be no PS3vsPC. They actually gave a pretty damn good reason why it was inprobable. Forgot the location I read it in but it had to due with console build certification.

You can patch a PC version like.... 10 billion times faster than you can a console version. Console makers don't like the idea of a company releasing a patch for a game that would totally fuck up the system.

Yeah, read that also. They said they will wait until the PC has been patched a good few times, until its damn solid and can port that version to console with the hope that it won't need updating much.

Sad news. Wait, I don't care. PC version is the only version.

There's two big reasons for no cross platform play:

1) They slowed down the PS3's gamespeed to better support controllers. It's not a huge difference but it's enough to make them incompatible.

2) Patching, as already said. You don't want to handicap the PC game by making it sync up with the PS3 edition - the cert process is agonizingly slow, even for big titles (much less patches)
