E3: UT3 PC Mods Compatible with PS3 Version
July 11th, 2007 Posted in E3, FPS, Online, PC, PlayStation 3
Epic Games’ Mark Rein just announced at the Midway conference that mods for the PC version of Unreal Tournament 3 will be able to “come over” to the PS3. By the way, when Sony said Unreal Tournament 3 was PS3 exclusive, they meant console-wise. The PC version will ship this November along with the PS3 version
“We think it will enhance the console gaming experience in a way no one has ever seen before.”
Since modifying games was made both easy and popular by the Unreal series, this could have enormous potential. As of now, we’re unsure whether this will affect the Xbox 360. We’ll be sure to keep you posted.
Note: The 1Up podcast has confirmed that this feature should be showing up in the 360 version next year in some way, shape, or form.

Microsoft will probably charge for the mod content though. Where as pc owners and I would imagine ps3 owners get it for free.

I doubt it’ll be available for the 360… Epic mentioned that the PC and PS3 were built on “open platforms” whereas the 360 is closed as hell…
