Improvements coming to UT3 PS3 mods, Still no headway on 360 mods

Silver Mirror | February 20, 2008 | News | PC Playstation 3 
The PS3's version of Unreal Tournament 3 has had great success with it's mod community with hundreds of mods available for your pleasure. And the great news is improvements are already being made to make the system even better! No specific details yet

This success however is mired by the fact that despite months of effort Epic have still failed to make mods work on the 360 version. There is still no set release date for the game
Our prognosis for mods on the Xbox 360 version of Unreal Tournament 3: not so good. In an interview with Joystiq, Epic Games' VP Mark Rein told us that there's no progress with Microsoft on making UT3 mods work with Xbox Live. One would think Microsoft would be more open to community content given the recent Xbox Live Community announcement, but Rein noted that the system is different. Rein said the Xbox 360 version has no set release date.

    Seems to be a given, they don't wanna release the game without mod support and MS doesn't want to open the platform up to independent users since they're used to content management and flagging as well as hosting packs for sale, not just for the greater good of gamer interests.

    Sucks but it's nice to see that Epic is trying to get gamers the most for their money.

    Yes! They listened! Epic has always worked almost hand in hand with the gamer community. I hope they fix the custom map hosting, as well as the mic support.

    I didn't think UT3 was really 'huge' like it was supposed to be. It's a great game, but you don't hear people talk about it.

    Still, I'm betting reviewers will find some reason to rate the the 360 version higher than the others.
