Unreal Tournament 3 PS3 Quick Impressions


Recommended Posts

I just called my EB Games to confirm, and my pre-order is indeed waiting for me. 2 hours left until I leave work, have to go visit my parents after I pick it up, so approximately 4 hours until game time.

Better yet you can choose when your online to only play with keyboard and mouse people, or only controller people, or if you don't care you can set it to both. I think it's great that they did that.

Oh this is nice. I have an MX5000 for my computer. I wonder if I can just pull the dongle out of my PC and then use it for double time on the PS3.

So a bluetooth keyboard and mouse will work with this game? If so, SWEET.

It does not even have to be Bluetooth, my cordless KB&M just has a USB dongle.

Wait, and RF keyboard will work if it has the dongle? Oh god, this is awesome. I have an old one of those too.

Ughh, can't wait until this game comes out for 360... Lucky PS3ers ;)

Thats a first :laugh: but thankfully there will be more of that to come in 2008

Yeah I should of said any USB or Bluetooth will work. That includes USB receivers for wireless mouses and keyboards.

Yep. (Y)

As I said earlier, my KB&M currently works within the console system itself.

I will verify it works with UT3 tonight, but if I do not post back right away in this topic tonight, take that as it did work and I am playing it.

You can enable 1080p upscaling by turning off 1080i/720p in the PS3 options.

I dunno if this makes it look better or not? It runs natively at 720p...

Phone?

:unsure:

The above image ISN'T of my TV... It's from another forum.

All I was saying is ironic is the fact the TV looks to be the same, if not similar to mine (both are Sony)

**** YEAH!!!!

I never thought this day would come, but I am playing a First Person Shooter on my console with a MOUSE & KEYBOARD!!!

So my cheap $30 Logitech combo works fine as can be. The game saw the mouse right away but not the keyboard. Unplugged the USB dongle and plugged it in again and then it saw the keyboard no issues at all.

So far have not got online, just the SP "Campaign" but this game is a perfect example of why I abandoned PC gaming for consoles. Graphics look amazing, frame rate is solid as can be which is huge for a game like this, and I am finally getting a similar experience to playing on my PC. Just really no complaints yet at all and I am ecstatic if you could not tell, this is what I envisioned Next Gen to mean personally, replace my PC fully.

So I will hop online and see if there are any issues with lag or anything like that, but seriously, I am very excited the day has finally arrived.

Also, I have to say already just playing with both really quick, it is without a doubt an advantage using the KB&M, at least for awhile.

For those familiar with Unreal, the Shock Rifles Alt Fire lets you shoot an energy ball, which you can then shoot with your Primary Fire to cause it to explode. I pulled this famous combo off no problem at all with my mouse (in all fairness I had done it 1000's of times with UT2K4), but it took me 5 times to pull it off with the controller.

Now yes, I am sure I can get used to it on the controller and pull it off, but the fact is I was able to pull it off literally right away very first attempt for not playing UT2K4 in at least 2 years, and this again was with the KB&M. So for seasoned PC gamers such as myself, I cannot help but think using the KB&M gives is a slight advantage, at least for a little while until people master the controller.

having not played Unreal in years, i was taken back at first by the speed of the game. i simply did not remember how fast and twitchy UT was. After a few games, i'm getting the hang of it again. i don't have a mouse and keyboard to try the game with, but i think the controls are just fine on my DS3. i'm loving the rumble as well.

Rumble? How? Import?

And I have no doubt the game can and will be enjoyable with a controller, I am just that happy that I can use a KBM combo again.

I also say I have to agree with you, I too did not remember how damn fast paced the game is, it really is quite a change of pace to get used to.

yes sir. imported 2 dualshock3's when they first came out. i can honestly say that i haven't touched my sixaxis controllers at all since i got them. ratchet, uncharted, resistance and now UT3 all feel great with rumble.

how's the campaign mode so far? i jumped right into multiplayer and have been playing it this whole time. :p

Oh I have been looking at this on Ebay, it looks really good played the PC version but I have a better feeling about the PS3 version. Would people recommended this to me then ?

I know it's from another forum and not your tv. If you check the image properties of the image you'll see it was taken with a Sony Ericsson W810i. You have the Sony Ericsson W880i. That's why I brought up the phone thing :p :laugh: You've got confused.

I'm impressed :o

FPS on consoles are getting better and better!

Sadly, people that don't have a Mouse and Kbd on the game will want to cry...

Campaign Mode is Bad. I recall them saying it was going to be more like a actual campaign mode, like a true SP game, but it is the same exact thing as past Unreals, Matches with Bots, with cut scenes trying to flesh out a story in between. Really do not know what crack they were smoking saying the Campaign would be any different this time around, unless I actually missed something I was supposed to click on, all I saw was Matches with Bots.
