I was hoping for split-screen... This stuff wasn't anything big.
will never come to the PS3. That's a 360 exclusive feature. We on the other hand get user created content which is far more valued.
Having played UT since UT99, I can tell you that UT is not complete without user created content.
Now with a PC being able to host PS3 games (in a few days time when Epic release the server), the stability of the game online should really improve and the max number of players could increase to 64 like the PC version.
The single player campaign was just multiplayer levels with bots acting as your competitors. This game was just as lousy as the other Unreal tournament games. I thought this was supposed to be next gen.
is it that any game that one person doesn't like, gets labeled as "Not Next Gen". The gameplay is gold, action intense and bots spectacular. I'd like to hear of a title with such specs that another calls "Not next gen enough". Douche.
this game sucks...after a while it gets to be too much repetition and I expect more out of this so called "next gen game"
This game has to be played online to be enjoyed to it's fullest potential. This game smokes every other online shooter the ps3 has except R:FoM. Most of the shooters on the PS3 suck IMO and I've owned them all. This is the only one I still play and the only one I haven't traded in or sold. Imagine Call of Duty 4 but requiring skill, having much better levels, more and better game types, no weak-ass aim assist, keyboard and mouse support, Sci-Fi weapons and characters (it's biggest negative IMO), user created maps (literally over 100 maps), user created characters, user created game types, user created game play modifications (nearly everything can be adjusted), runs smooth at 60 fps, better graphics and more. IF THIS GAME ISN'T NEXT GEN THEN NOTHING IS. This is my first Unreal Tournament game but definitely not my last. Even if Epic doesn't release another one on the PS3, this one will last forever with all of the free content.
Still it seems that some people cannot get into Unreal.....most likely because the game is so fast paced and you really need to know what you are doing to play it well....
I think it's damned awesome, so whatev, but I love unreal, always have....
But the game wasn't unplayable without these updates... So they weren't completely neccessary.
