PS3 UT3 to have cross platform play

Posted on August 7th, 2007 at 03:24 EDT

According to Mark Rein from Epic Games, the PC and PS3 versions of Unreal Tournament 3 have the possibility of being enabled for cross platform play.

To what extent this will be included, still remains a mystery.

Now UT3 makes for a complete experience, including mouse and keyboard support  thanks to the beautifully crafted FragFx. PSU can't wait to see the mayhem of PS3 players and PC players duking it out this coming November, however it is implemented.

First... I think... Anyway, It will support USB keyboard and mouse, the frag FX isn't needed and won't work as good as a real mouse anyway. Also, it was said that cross platform play isn't a sure thing, just the use of mouse and keyboard for the PS3 version is confirmed.

Very nice. Now I can buy the PS3 version instead of upgrading for the PC version

Last comment again muwahahahahahaha. I heard the Frag FX thing works great so wouldn't it be just as good? I've never used it so I wouldn't know. Wouldn't cross playform play give more room for hackers?

psn id: gingo.... this will be very good but players using controllers will get owned off people using keyboard and mouse so most people will have to purchase them

So, unless the X360 version screws everything up, we'll be expecting some pretty Epic PS3 vs X360 matches, right?  Awesome!

The reason it isn't probable that UT3 will be cross-platform with the Xbox 360 is because of Live.

Live is a closed structure with strict regulations to follow. The PS3 however, is open, just like a PC.

If anyone read the article that came out 3 DAYS AGO, it said PS3 owners would have to option to play in games for just controllers or a mix of controllers and KB/M.www.psu.com/UT3-PS3-to-feature-keyboard-and-mouse-support-News--a868-p0.php

There's the article. Read.

Usman Ihtsham, did you just add that part in about the FragFX, because I know for a fact not very many people want to have to buy the FRAGFX when we have a perfectly good keyboard and mouse already, from what I saw Mark R post he said keyboard and moue support not FRAGFX.  FRAGFX is not mouse and keyboard it is a analog stick put on a ball.  Anyways please clarify and fix the post if it is not ocrrect.  Thanks
