Unreal Tournament, Epic’s online (mainly) FPS frag-fest is still coming to 360, despite earlier reports that the title was having problem due to Microsoft not wanting user generated content (new maps and mods) on their system.

Mark Rein, the head honcho at Epic, has posted an entry on the company forums stating the title is ‘coming along nicely’ on the 360 and that members of the press will get the chance to play the game for the first time in a couple of weeks when Midway holds it’s gamers day event. However, there’s still no word on an offficial release date for the title. Maybe they’ll announce it at the Midway event?

I recently (very recently, still waiting for it to be delivered) bought UT 3 on the PS3. As listeners to the podcast will know I was waiting for the game to be available for a lot cheaper than the usual £40 price tag, and I managed to snag a (nearly) new copy of it from Ebay yeseterday for the discounted price of £19.99 - not bad at all.
It will be interesting to see how the game perfoms on the 360, compared to the PS3 version as Microsoft’s console is associated with online play far more than the PS3 (at least for us here it is).
