Why is this in the 360 section? Its UT07. Which still has net yet been confirmed for 360.

"All I know is that this game is gonna rock, be several times better then GoW"



I'm a great fan of the UT games, so to say it will be several times better than GoW is just, well just stupid, since they are COMPLETELY different types of game.



Besides, I will be playing this game on PC, but it should be great for PS3 gamers too.

I'm far more interested in the gameplay than how the textures compare to the PC version. :|



Anyway, it has the potential to be a great game on the PS3 too, but I do have reservations about the control compared to using keyboard and mouse on the PC (and before anyone says, there is no confirmation of k+m support for this game on the PS3).



That said, vehicle support is usually much better with an analog stick, so I think it all balances out in the end.



I'm looking forward to it. :)

When was the size of the game announced? Or did you just pull that one out from your a***?

Can you be a bit more specific rather than expecting someone to wade through months of messages on a forum.



Anyway, I don't see the problem with multiple disks if it were brought to the 360, especially since the online maps would probably be placed on one disk, with other maps available for download later.

...that until UT 2007 is announced for the 360, this is all just meaningless speculation. ;)

...that was back in May, and I believe it was quickly debunked by EPIC.



Therefore David simply made an error (it happens :)).

>"Blue Dragon is an RPG so disk swapping isnt wierd. Have you ever heard of anyone disk swapping with a shooter? No."



What has that got to do with it? Where are the rules which determine which games come on multiple disks and which ones don't? As long as the structure of the game will support multple disks, then it's fine. The singple player game on most FPSs are simply a progression through levels, and therefore would easily work on multiple disks. Stop 'looking' for reasons just for the sake of it.



>"And Microsoft doesnt even support User-mods content. Which is something that will be in UT07 of the PS3 (adding the Mod support to the game is also a rumored reason of why PS3 Oblivion was delayed)."



Well let's wait and see for Oblivion (rumours mean nothing), but user mods for the PS3 are excellent, but I'll wait and see how it turns out on the PS3 before getting too excited.



But going back to Gamez point above, this is really just meaningless speculation, since right now, there is no UT 2007 for the 360. :)

>"Well I did mean they aren't upgradable size-wize (I know you can upgrade your core model)."



But that's NOW. Later there will be larger HDDs available. Space is going to be an issue for many different reasons across both consoles, such as the trend towards dumping 4GB or more of game data for PS3 games to speed up load times. I can't see those with the 20GB PS3 doing that very often (less of a problem for the hardcore gamer who will swap it for a larger HDD).



>"Also many games now have more so the sand-box type set up with hub areas and the ability to get back to old places whenever you want. This is what poses the biggest problem for multi-disc set ups."



And for this we'll have to wait and see. It may surprise you, but developers usually know what they're doing, and can often come up with a solution for every scenario. Hence creating next-gen games for the 360 is only really a problem for those who talk the talk (i.e. gamers on forums), but for those who walk the walk, i.e. developers, DVD is at worse a nuisance in terms of space, but it's not an obstacle.



>"So it's more so a matter of does UT2007 have a completely linear campaign mode or not."



We'll see, but as said already, unless UT 2007 is coming to the 360, it doesn't actually matter.

>"360 storage mediums are already begining to show their age 1 year in."



Showing their age in what way, capacity? We've already discussed that, there are solutions such as compression (which the 360 has been designed for at all levels), and multiple disks. The 360's DVD drive has a faster transfer speed than the Blu-ray drive of the PS3, which is perhaps why developers are offering the option to dump huge chunks of data onto the HDD to speed up load times. On one review I've read (i'll find it if necessary), the PS3 version with data dumped to the HDD showed no noticeable improvement over the load times of the 360 version!



So until developers come out and say DVD is a problem, then it's not. Like I said, it's about those who 'walk the walk', not those who could only 'talk the talk'.



>"Also atleast with the 20GB model you can upgrade your PS3 to 100GB+ easily for under $100."



Really? Have you got a link to such prices? Remember, the PS3 requires 2.5" drives, not the MUCH cheaper 3.5" drives (also, I'm in the UK, so I'm not sure of the price in dollars).



>"While with that same $100 bucks you only get 20GB from 360 and with that pricing structure newer HDDs for 360 will be prices horribly."



No, because I would expect the introduction of a larger HDD for the 360 will see the price of the 20GB HDD lowered, hence the larger HDD should be competitively priced.

>"what r u talking about!? Gears of War is sooooo much like UT, its made by the same *****in people for christ sake."



Firstly, what has both games being made by EPIC got to do with it? LOL!



Anyway...Have you ever played UT? I've been a fan of the series since the FIRST game came out on the PC way back in 1999 and was playing this together with Quake 3 Arena back then.



Gears of War is nothing like UT, it's a completely different gameplay structure, so I have to ask, have you even played Gears of War? Because if you had played both games you would know just how WRONG your statement is. Hence you haven't a clue what you're talking about on this matter!



>"but UT 2007 will still be better than Gears of War, even tho Gears of War is a superb game."



You don't know that until the game is released, and even then, as I said, it's not the same as GoW.



>"without UT, you wouldnt have games like Halo and obviously Gears of War. Both games borrow HEAVILY from Unreal Tournament."



ALL games borrow from previous games, so Halo and GoW have to thank UT no more than they have to thank Quake 3 Arena, Quake, Doom, etc. Half-life for example was released BEFORE Unreal Tournament, back in 1998, so I guess UT has much to thank Half-life for. I know because I'm an older gamer, one who was playing PC games from the late 80s right up until a few years ago when I focussed more on the consoles (but still play games on the PC, the last being Half-life 2).



>"Im not trying to start a flame war here, but if you were smart and looked at Halo and looked at UT, you would see lots of similarities."



And if you looked at Halo and then UT 2003, then you would see Halo's influence there too, such as the introduction of vehicles. So like I said, games borrow from previous games, and the UT series is no different.

I don't dispute the fact that if EPIC were to announced UT 2007 for the 360 tomorrow, nobody would be surprised (just like no-one was surprised about Assassin's Creed), but the fact remains that TODAY it isn't officially announced for the 360. The official word from EPIC is that UT 2007 is exclusive to PS3 and PC.



The interview you've posted isn't proof, so we'll just have to wait and see if the 360 joins the list.
