Rein wasn't quite finished there, however. He even thought ahead to Unreal Tournament 4, saying "If you think down the road, well maybe the next UT beyond this one, on Blu-ray disc, we might fill the whole damn disc with all the cool stuff the mod makers make." We'd be very excited to see that, really! So there's even more proof that not only is Blu-ray a handy asset, but it'll give us all more stuff down the line.

Cool. Finally Blu-Ray gets the attention it deserves.

I think this is just the beginning. We are going to start to see more and more devs feeling cluastrophobia and going blu.
Though, from reading these boards, Xbox users won't really care about having to download the extra 40Gb since, according to them, BD is not needed this generation

As a 360 owner I am not ashamed to admit you're right about the whole DLC stuff. I wouldn't mind paying for the extra maps. But then again its a matter of how important MP is to each individual gamer and how many COME with the game already. If the 360 version has 20 maps and the ps3 has like say 22 I'm not gonna be pissed about it or feel like I'm lacking something crucial.
So no bluray is not need IMO. However I will admit that the next generation of consoles will all have the winning format's type of disc. Hopefully it will be HD DVD or something even better than bluray.
And Epic/Mark Rein can go to hell after the whole Gears on the PC thing...
I love how ps3fanboy is shameless plugging in bluray advertising in every week in any article that can be remotely connected to bluray though!

I have both systems, plan on getting the PS3 version since it looks like it is going to have more to offer for sure (user mods, key board mouse, more maps). Only one thing would force me to go with the 360 version instead : If this title does 720p only with no 1080i scaling.

Bitter? I'm just bitter about the Gears fiasco...other than that I'm fine.
Anyways later. This article just amused me. It just seems like sony and its fanboys are losing their minds going over things like PGR4 weather effects and now UT's maps in an attempt to justify their beloved high priced yet extremely low value machine.
Thats All. Back to Joystiq now.

I'm wondering why Unreal Tournament III has been available for preorder on Amazon for the 360 and PC for quite some time, yet the PS3 version has yet to show up?

The quote from Mark Rein is:
"we may have fewer maps on the 360 version"
Yet the title to this article is
"will have more maps"
Do you see the distinction between the two, Nick?
You also haven't corrected your story about the Fatal Inertia demo being on PSN today. Do you just hate your job and could care less about accuracy?

ForceUnleashed you are an idiot and personally i think you need to grow up!! What gets me most about all this is when the 360 does something better than the ps3 you fanboys dont stop rubbing it it to the sony fanboys but when the ps3 does something better you can always rely on people like you to be there to put it down!! At the end of the day the 360 fanboys were wrong for sayin blu ray isnt needed, but now more and more developers want more space for the games because the dont think dvd9 is big enough!!! It amuses me that people like you cant admit that you were wrong and just realise that both machines have there advantages but instead you continue to try and justify the argument still!! As for you being pissed at mark rein because of the extras on gears on pc, if you had any knowledge, you would have known that gears on the pc runs on a more updated unreal engine therefore the extras will not run on the older engine on the 360! this has been stated by mark rein himself!!! So judging by your comments about gears on pc it seems to me that you never want the unreal engine to be improved so that we can all play better games?? you are an idiot pure and simple and just so you know before i get told the shit that i usually read like "he must be on sonys payroll" (LMAO this comment always makes me laugh) i only own a 360 and personally people like you make us 360 owners ashamed!! Just grow up!!!
On topic: i for one am glad to see sony finally get some recognition! i plan on buying a ps3 this christmas!!! i just can't wait to play haze and unreal this year aswel as killzone 2(which looks awsome) next year along with MGS4!!!

@ Travis -- fixed and fixed. Thanks for keeping me on my toes!
...Though I'd really appreciate if next time you left off the last sentence (if there is a next time). My priorities are not your business.

@7
You Fail.
30fps is due to developers not creating an adequate port.

I just love it when people can be so one sided and never give credit when credit is due!! Look Sony made a sweet and dangerous move going with Blu-Ray and it's starting to pay off! Face it!! Blu-Ray is better for devs it doesn't limit them like DVD9's and now Microsoft is going to have to figure something out! I own both systems because I view myself as a GAMER not a fanboy! So you can go ahead and keep "troll'n" it actually entertains me!! LoL

im not even sure that the 360 will get 20 maps because of MS. I thingk Gears of war could of been better if they released it a couple months later and maybe compared to the PC it wouldnt look so small and the frames per second and textures up close would of been better but the 360 needed a game to sell the console during the Holiday season. Even if you could fit all the maps on one DVD9 MS would of said no and soled it as a map pack later. judging by how most 360 owners feel that dont really care even when MS is bending the over and..........O yeah 3 warrenty take that sony. What? so you meen all 360s have problems. Halo 3, Bio SHock and Mass Effect is so sweet!!!360 FTW. Ummm? doesnt one of them release for the PC because my PC is pretty sweet and how do you play those sweet games if your system is in a coffin. i cant deal with the downtime i rather wait for the rebuilt sytems to get another one.
@20 Epic, ID, RockStar. idk man quality devs over quantity.
