PS3 UT3 still in Sony's '07 lineup, Epic 'confident'

By Brendan Sinclair, GameSpotPosted Nov 8, 2007 12:14 pm PT

[UPDATE] SCEA's near-100-game holiday roster lists console edition of shooter; Midway says to expect game in '08, but developer says it may still arrive in time.

With the November release calendar jam-packed with big releases, Sony Computer Entertainment America this morning released its full holiday 2007 lineup of expected games and add-ons for the PlayStation 3, PlayStation Portable, and PlayStation 2.

While many of the nearly 100 retail and downloadable games listed for Sony systems are already out, these are the titles Sony is using to demonstrate "a continued commitment from both SCEA and third-party developers to the PlayStation family of products and aims to appeal to enthusiast and casual gamers alike." Divided by platform, Sony's latest console gets the most attention in the holiday lineup with 34 retail games and 13 downloadable titles. The PSP list includes two dozen games, slightly behind the PS2's showing of 27 titles.

As with Nintendo's first- and third-party release list from last month, some of SCEA's entries didn't fit with what had previously been known. For instance, SCEA lists Unreal Tournament 3 for the PS3 as releasing this year, when Midway has told its investors the game shouldn't arrive until 2008. A Midway representative told GameSpot today that the company still expects Unreal Tournament 3 for the PS3 to see release next year.

[UPDATE]: Epic Games vice president Mark Rein told GameSpot that Unreal Tournament 3 was in "really good shape," and might yet make it to shelves this year.

"We did a pre-certification check last week and came back with a surprisingly small number of issues," Rein said. "But we don't want to be over-confident and say it is a sure thing. We still have to do a more thorough certification and things might not flesh out quite as well with a deeper test but the game is truly fantastic on PS3 so our fingers are crossed! Whether we make December or not, the good news for us and our licensees is that we've leaped a major engine hurdle on PS3 and we've hit that solid 'version 1.0' state we hit with Gears of War at that same one-year-after-console-release time frame." [END UPDATE]

Likewise, Capcom's Harvey Birdman: Attorney at Law for the PSP appears on SCEA's lineup, but that game was officially delayed until January specifically to avoid the crowded holiday release window. The PS2 version was also delayed, but is not included on SCEA's holiday list.

[UPDATE]: A Capcom representative has since confirmed that Harvey Birdman is set for release on the PS2, PSP, and Wii on January 8.

    I am interested to see professional and player reviews of the PC version when it comes out. I'm sure at least a few will run it on a 360-identical spec PC...so we will get an unbiased view of how it SHOULD run on the 360. That will be a useful comparison for when the actual release version for 360 comes out. Comparisons between the PC, 360, and PS3 versions may help to sort out how much of Epic's fanboy PR is true...and to what lengths they will go to support their biased assertions.

    @puppiemaster

    i don't know what your talking about but my ps3 connection (which is wireless also) runs way better then my wii connection, expecially for online gamming, mario soccer almost always lags, and my warhawk almost never lags

    it could be one of there marketing ploys to get everyone talking about it so it free media, i love me PS3 and have played it more that my xbox 360 only thing i wish that would come to the PSN is being able to awnser messages while in a game i get alot of fan mail and it get rather annoyign while your trying to try out them new uncharted demo for the first time @.@

    i love the new line up and can remember xbox having a harder time having this kinda line up when it first came out kudos to you sony and epic always said they will never realese a game until it fully finished so when ever it comes out it will be the real deal

    @People saying PS3 is getting more games now blablabla.

    Yeah its getting games, getting games late. The fact its got games doesnt mean theyre going to run good since ALL 3rd party ones are on the 360, and by fact run better. Just go look at some 360 to PS3 port game comparisons.

    And all the first party titles (Exclusives); i have no interest in them, they look boring stale and gay.

    Ill rather play UT3 on my pc Thx, and if i didnt have a PC i wouldnt buy it for the PS3.

    360 / PC ftw.

    I play online with my PC, no problems at all, but I have a good speed broadband, I think that the worst online connection is actually the PS3, even the Wii downloads and updates at a much faster rate, (this is using a wireless connection)

    haha user mods will make this game great for ps3! not to mention K/M...
    the ps3 is the console to have this on, no one even knows when the 360 version will come out. It seems likely that it could come out late 2008 or even 2009. By that time ps3 would have the likes of Killzone 2, FFXIII and GT5. Just something to keep in mind!

    To: NeoNavarro,


    You obviously don't own a PlayStation 3. Microsoft is letting you pay for a service which is the same on the PlayStation 3 but the PlayStation 3 is better (Home, Information Board, mods, Yellow Dog Linux...).

    I'll cross my fingers. I have to say I was really disappointed when I heard it was being delayed.
