Totem Arts Staff [NE]Fobby[GEN] Posted July 21, 2007 Totem Arts Staff Share Posted July 21, 2007 In an interview with 1UP Microsoft's Shane Kim says a few words about the possibility of Unreal Tournament 3 user mods making it onto the Xbox 360 version of the game. 1UP: At the Sony conference yesterday, Epic announced a multi-stage deal with Sony about various things, starting with optimizing the Unreal Engine 3. They announced that Unreal Tournament 3, originally an Xbox 360, PS3, PC game, is now at least a timed exclusive for the PS3. But, something that was a very big bullet point and something Epic's talked about far back with UT is the mod space. At the last TGS, Tim Sweeney, Epic's CEO, said they were frustrated because everything Sony was telling them was that the platform was open, but Sweeney was quoted as saying they were frustrated with Microsoft because it was a closed network and Microsoft wasn't open to user generated content. When, and if, UT3 arrives on 360, how are you going to address that huge feature difference? Kim: Yeah, it is - on one hand. In general, a) we're bringing user generated content to our platform. Look at what's happening with Forza Motorport 2 with the auction house and the livery editor, that's just taken off huge. It's not the same kind of user generated content model that Epic is going to do with UT, but it is user generated content. We have just as much interest in that space as anybody else, but I will tell you that there is a lot of value to managing the service and system the way we do on Xbox Live, versus the wild, open, supposedly open PlayStation Network. You're going to have to be very careful about what happens and we'll see how much responsibility the platform holder actually takes there in terms of managing that stuff. Shane Kim talks more about Xbox 360 and E3 2007 in the rest of the interview. http://www.1up.com/do/newsStory?cId=3161418 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totem Arts Staff [NE]Fobby[GEN] Posted July 22, 2007 Author Totem Arts Staff Share Posted July 22, 2007 Yeah, this leaves a possibility that Renegade 2007 might actually be played on Xbox 360. And I have an Xbox 360, which means I can play it on my awesome screen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saga Posted July 22, 2007 Share Posted July 22, 2007 Personally, I have my doubts about Unreal 3 on xbox vs pc. Nice idea, but we will see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MightyBOB Posted July 22, 2007 Share Posted July 22, 2007 PS3/360 versions have larger hitboxes and speed changes to compensate for the inaccuracies of a controller. We'd have to make 2 versions if we were to make an "official" version for the consoles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saga Posted July 22, 2007 Share Posted July 22, 2007 What i'm concerned about is the fact hitbox's are bigger. Seems like it would be harder to spec a player for cheats due to this variable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R315r4z0r Posted July 22, 2007 Share Posted July 22, 2007 It would be harder to cheat in the first place.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MightyBOB Posted July 22, 2007 Share Posted July 22, 2007 The console people can't play against the PC people. So it is regular hitboxes vs regular hitboxes, and large hitboxes+auto-aim vs large hitboxes+auto-aim. Although EPIC has asked the public if they'd be interested in cross-platform multiplayer, they haven't said they will try it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saga Posted July 22, 2007 Share Posted July 22, 2007 Hm, they must have changed their minds then. Months ago cross platform was something they were shooting for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Titan1x77 Posted July 22, 2007 Share Posted July 22, 2007 360 needs to finally get some KB+mouse support, I know theres a way now, but an official patch thru the 2 usb ports would fix that problem. that way they don't have to nerf the hitboxes. and yes I know, people want to sit on a couch, but they can get one of those lap table thingys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Posted July 23, 2007 Share Posted July 23, 2007 That is so cool! 8) My friend is getting a Xbox 360, So making a .ISO and burning it onto a playable disk would rock so much! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkz Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 Note, the 360 does NOT work like that... would have to be completely reformatted... *sighs at stupidity* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Totem Arts Staff [NE]Fobby[GEN] Posted July 25, 2007 Author Totem Arts Staff Share Posted July 25, 2007 I have an Xbox 360, which means if this were to happen, I'd be able to play Renegade 2007 on a large screen. Whether or not the gaming is cross-platform, I'm sure there'll be a few people playing the mod over X360. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saga Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 Reins maintained Unreal 3 will be out in November. He also address some of the Xbox speculation. http://www.gamespot.com/video/928117/61749...eo-feature-2008 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
