Unreal Tournament 3 On Xbox Comes Early To Europe
Europe is happy to be receiving Unreal Tournament 3 for the Xbox 360 a weekend early. Midway confirmed the news that it will be arriving on the 4th of July – which is three days earlier than the game will be hitting stores in the U.S.
They also stated that the Xbox version will be available with all of the downloadable content available to users on the retail disc along with split-screen support, and five new maps. The split-screen support will allow human players in the local area to play.
Though some worries have been voiced about how well the Xbox 360 version of Unreal Tournament 3 will perform, those will probably turn out to be unfounded according to Eurogamer, who point to Epic’s previous experience of porting the game and the UE3 engine to other consoles.
Even with this encouragement Epic is still not getting too excited. They doubt that they will be able to beat out Call of Duty 4:
“I wish we could do that,” said Epic’s Mark Rein “but realistically, and unfortunately, we don’t have the marketing dollars behind our game that those games have.”
“But I think the game is great on Xbox 360. It really rocks!”
