E3: Mark Rein talks Unreal Tournament 3 |

As we all know, the game will be a timed exclusive hitting the PS3 this November. According to Rein, it will also come to the PC on the same month.
After Gears of War put everyone in awe with sheer graphics, Mark Rein was very happy to report that UT3 will surpass the game that came a year before it. The Epic guys are going to utilize the full power of the PS3, along with some help from SIXAXIS to deliver the best UT3 experience yet. From Rein himself, SIXAXIS will be used in driving hoverboards and it will be a blast.
PS3 and PC owners going head to head is technically feasible, but Rein highly doubts that it's necessary. Being a company known to be strongly supportive of their fans, Epic doesn't see users wanting such feature. Asked if we'll see interconsole carnage between the PS3 and Xbox 360, Rein said "We'll have to wait and see."
Unreal Tournament was always about crazy mods, and this installment is no different. "PlayStation 3 is the only home console that's gonna let us bring mods," said Rein. Free downloadable content will be available on both the PS3 and the PC, but Epic is also looking at charging players for some stuff. No need to worry though, this could only mean something like user-created mods going on sale.
Take it from the jolly man himself, here's Mark Rein:

if his words are true and PC mods are available to the PS3 only [and i believe him....the PSN is an open-source network in the end unlike MS closed lag-fest netwrok]..this is a yet another lethal hit to the 360
i dont need to tell you all....UT3 is the most addictive multi-player FPS in the PC,and should they manage to port the controls well to the PS3 version,it will do the same to consoles
hopefully they will allow Key-board and mouse controls....this is so great
looks like the PS3 version will be the one to own.....watch out for november

"this means that Gears COULD be done on the PLAYSTATION 3"
Well duh! Let's see, it's generally agreed that both consoles are similar in terms of power with the PS3 having an edge with Cell and the 360 an edge with it's GPU, but overall about the same. So remind me why this would have meant Gears of War couldn't be done on the PS3? Or should I say, why are you surprised? I don't get it (unless you spend all your time argueing with 360 fanboys instead of seeking out the facts).
