Several reasons why 360/PS3 owners (if you own both) should get it on the PS3

This isn't trying to incite a flamewar (this isn't gamefaqs, and when I'm here I don't feel like splitting my head open). But...for 360 and PS3 (multiconsole) owners who are considering buying UT2k7...I suggest you buy it on the PS3.

1. PS3/PC versions of UT2k7 were announced in 2005. Obviously....these are 2 vastly different platforms, so epic probably had 2 seperate dev teams for it. In other words, PS3 is 1 of the lead platforms for the game. Obviously, lead platforms are usually the best versions, and there don't tend to be any other cases (only rare ones...like sega and Armored core 4. But, I'm not 100% sure that the PS3 was the lead platform).

2. PS3 allows for use of a USB [wireless or wired] or a bluetooth keyboard/mouse combo. Also, there is the 3rd party periphal which is a controller like keyboard/mouse combo. http://gear.ign.com/articles/799/799262p1.html

3. You have to consider that the 2 games are released in the same month (Halo 3 and UT2k7). It is.....well, very likely that most players will be playing Halo 3 for a long time to come. Yes...people can buy 2 seperate games and play them, but 2 games of the same genre.....and most people would prefer to play halo on the XBOX. In other words...you'll probably see more people playing UT2k7 on PSN rather than XBOX live.

4. The PSN mic problem will be fixed. With SOCOM, Warhawk, Home, and the Playstation Eye coming into play, games will have alot more people with headsets. I say HOME, because it introduces (to some people) the fact that you can use a bluetooth headset on the PS3.

5. PS3 version of UT3 will support user mods, created on PCs and downloadable to the console. http://www.gamasutra.com/php-bin/news_index.php?story=10974 (This is the main reason, and will add tons of replayability on the PS3/PC version).

6. PS3 version has some (optional) sixaxis uses. With the air-superiority vehicles and hoverboard. Dev says it runs very, very smoothly and natural.

7. By the time this game is released, I believe the "shockaxis" controllers will be released (force feedback and sixaxis). Force Feed Back will be better on the PS3 controller....because it will be able to emit from different places (on the D-pad, the joysticks, hand area, triggers, all, etc) and emit in different magnitudes (getting shot once would cause less than a nearby explosion).

8. pure speculation. A comment was made by a member of the UT2k7 team...on the subject of space. He said that next gen games would be taking 20-30gb of space at the least. He said they'd have no trouble at all with the PS3 and blu ray discs, for the PC they have massive HDDs to install data to. But he said the 360 would be a problem...limited to DVDs, and no HDD standard (because they have to consider the core and the 64mb memory card), and he said he didn't know how they were going to fit it on. Anyway, maybe since the PS3/PC have so much space left they'll give each of them some exclusive maps to play on.

9. Lemmings cannot use "DLC" as an excuse. It will most likely cost money, and DLC has nothing on mods. Also, it won't be anything huge (just maps, weapons,vehicles, skins, etc which the PS3 versionwill also have).

10. PS3 will have HOME whichwill enable people to launch games with friends and new friends very easily.

11. PS3 owners get it a year before 360 owners do.

But, if you have a high end PC, definatly get it forthat.

i was going to get it on the ps3 anyway due to it coming out ealryer.

Here's a better idea; Get it on PC.

Well, I'm willing to bet those who have both PS3/360 will probably buy the PS3 version. Why wait if you don't have to? Factor in Sony is helping Epic out with getting the engine going on PS3, and going by the playtests... the PS3/PC versions are on par with eachother.

Either way, I think most people who own both consoles will buy the PS3 version this november. I'll be getting it for PC and PS3 personally.

Once Sony decides to become rational and actually lower their retail price on the PS3 to more market-friendly prices, I will get a PS3. Until then, every PS3/360 game that comes out that I want, I will (by default) be buying for the 360.SpruceCaboose

No thanks, all your blah blah blah blah blue-ray blah blah blah the cell blah blah blah... Bro don't try to wash my brain, im not a 15 yrs old kid.

In the end UTk7 will have more features on xbox360 just like happened with Virtual Fighter 5, and everyone here knows that x360 and PC's are like brothers, what Runs here runs there too...

X360 has enough games to be played until UTk7 comes out.

Guess PC doesn't exist anymore to Cows...

Money Bags talk more then anything else and Sony has been generous with those with Epic ^_^

Congratulations, Sony fans. You finally have a game worth buying on your platform instead of ours.

A couple of notes though:

UT3 isn't going to be a "year" later on 360 than on. Only a couple of months. As soon as 2008 hits it'll be close.

And, if the HDD thing is a problem for any developer they can make it a HD required game. Other games can do it, and have done it, there's an official logo Microsoft has for a HDD required game for them to put on the box art and everything. The issue of non-standard HDD really, really isn't a problem. I don't know why people keep saying it is. They can make it HDD required, and everyone has a HDD anyway, so it isn't actually limiting the market in anyway. And if people DIDN'T have a HDD, Microsoft would WANT games to be HDD required to sell more of their 360 hard drives.

10. PS3 will have HOME whichwill enable people to launch games with friends and new friends very easily.LastSamurai14

I think this is a no brainer if you ownboth.subject117

Indeed, lol. I own both, and I sure as hell am not going to wait a year to get a ported version for the 360 when I can buy the superior version on the PS3 this year. Even though it will be coming to the 360, I personally feel that UT3 should in a certain sense be considered more or less PS3's game as far as consoles go. Same with Haze.

i own all 3 and i get all multiplats on 360 because all the reasons the TC listed are pure BS. that and the 360 controller just destroys the sixaxis (i hate even typing the name - so stupid).

LastSamurai14

1. First of all you used the word "probably", which means that I've pretty much disregarded this one because it is only your personal speculation. But if the game did have two separate teams, how would that make the ps3 the lead platform for the game? If there are 2 teams, why need a lead? Besides, Epic is great at what they do and they of course will be using the unreal engine...any differences between lead platform and the other one are going to be minimal...especially with extra 360 development time headed into 2008.

2. true...but personally I own a console so that I can use the controller. If I wanted to use the keyboard and mouse than I'd be a pc gamer. That is my opinion though.

3. This point is weak, very weak. First of all, xbox live has more users than the ps3 has consoles sold. There is no way there is going to be morepeople playing this gameon PSN than xboxlive, especially when the game will have been released on the ps3 already for several months before. Halo will also have been out for almost half a year...i'm sure it won't pull a significant amount of gamers from unreal, especially if unreal is as good as it's hyped up to be. And if you want to be unbiased, GTA is a huge game as well...GTA is a huge game and is going to be coming out closer to unreal than halo 3 is. According to your theory, there will be less players playing Unreal because they'll be playing GTA. Again, I don't agree with this theory at all, but i'm just pointing out your failure to see both sides of it.

4. How is this a reason that people should get it on the ps3? Every premium 360 owner already owns a microphone. If you are going to compare the number of people what have a microphone that came free and the number of people who actually go out and buy one, i'm pretty sure the free microphone is going to win every single time...especially when the 360 has many more consoles sold. I think this is clearly a reason why people should get it on the 360...since there is MUCH stronger mic support.

5. very true.

6. Personally, so far I've been unimpressed with sixaxis, and it's use does not seem to have given it any advantage in reviews at all. 360 owners can argue against this by saying that they will have arumble feature. So I call this point a draw.

7. Another weak point. Again...completly speculation, and http://www.totalgamerzone.com/story-534.htmlsays to me that Sony is not as close to this controller as you think they are. Again...the "possibility" of a new controller is not a strong reason to get a game, especially when ps3 gamers are going to have to buy another contoller.

8. You are right...that is complete speculation. Games like Oblivion and Just Cause have some of the largestmaps ever...and both were fit onto a single disc. You are definitly going to have to come up with some more proof before I give you this one.

9. The 360 having DLC is not a reason to get the ps3 version. And you've already used the mods reasoning...so this point is pointless as well.

10. I don't know how familiar you are with XBOXLIVE..but it is already very easy to start up games with friends and new friends..especially with Live'scross game invities (which I believe PSN currently doesn't do). Again, I think this point goes in favor of the 360 version, although Home isn't out yet so we will have to wait and see what that feature brings to the table.

11. Not a year. It comes out in Q4 2007 on the ps3 and "early 2008" on the 360. I'm no math expert...but that certainly doesn't sound like even close to a year to me. (note, the 360 version is currently listed as q42007 as well).

i've read on a few sites that the release difference is only about 15 days.

UT is due out around holidays (xmas) for PS3, and right after new years for 360. lmao.

yay for an exclusive for 15 days, i guess the 360 has had dozens of unofficial timed exclusives what with all the PS3 ports being delayed.

bah, UT games have always been best on PC, end of story.

"Bah", opinions do vary, friend. Not everyone wants the game on PC, or else that would be the only platform that it would be released on.

This is an interesting point:

3. You have to consider that the 2 games are released in the same month (Halo 3 and UT2k7). It is.....well, very likely that most players will be playing Halo 3 for a long time to come.

Also, big games like heavenly sword, uncharted, ratchet and clank, and haze are all going to be out around the same time. It is completly biased to assume that Halo will pull away online players from unreal tournament on the 360, but these games I named won't pull online players from UT on the ps3.

you can do what u said about the 360 already with the ps3. home just another optionarm9218
