Nice - now that it appears feasible, maybe I'll be rockin' CoH as Matt X once again! (but in sweet, sweet, 50" HD goodness this time!)

Will this include the new Unreal or just future games using the engine?

IIRC, Unreal 3 is PS3 exclusive, I would imagine it would be included. I've never played this franchise, isn't it kinda like Duke Nuk'em or Doom?

statikcat · 08-16-2007, 06:39 PM

? Unreal 3 is Xbox360 too. A compressed graphics version with less maps that is

it is a PS3 timed exclusive. Xbox 360 gets it later

Oh ok I did not know about the date. Must be to scale it down

phranctoast · 08-16-2007, 07:33 PM

this is for all unreal engine 3.0 games, but Im sure UT 3 will be the first to utilize it.

EvanX · 08-16-2007, 07:37 PM

That's friggin' cool!

If cross-platform play and cross-platform modding are allowed, then PS3 version > Xbox 360 version of UT3.

I know I'll be buying both the PC and UT3 versions.

I dont like gamespy, then we mayby has to pay to play online.

ToonyLoons · 08-16-2007, 11:27 PM

PlayStation games have used GameSpy before as their way to play online. The first online game for PS2, Tony Hawk 3 I believe, ran off of GameSpy servers. There was no charge then. So hopefully it would still be free.

I think this is a cool idea. I know Xbox360 is supposed to have something like this too with their Games For Windows intergration of Xbox Live. I just like the idea of console gamers being able to play with PC.
