[Shipping Out] December 10th
Midway gets an early jump on the week with one of the biggest shooters of the year.
Published: December 10, 2007
Welcome to Shipping Out, our weekly notice of all them thar games that ship from publishers to retailers in preparation for their street date a day later. In many cases, these games won't be on store shelves until tomorrow, but in the interest of getting the word out, letting the PR departments have their fancy quotes and saving us sanity as the weekly releases pile up, we're going to be consolidating everything down into one handy little news story at the end of the day, along with this description. Neat, eh? And lazy!
[PlayStation 2]
Nada, duder.
[PlayStation Portable]
Nuttin' honey.
[PlayStation 3]
[BlackSite: Area 51]
The aliens aren't coming, they're already here. Dun dun dunnnnnnnnnnnnNNNNNN! Midway's next-gen update to the FMV-based light gun shooter has finally arrived on PlayStation 3s nation-wide. Why the gap between the PC/360 versions and the PS3 one? Because it's the hip thing to do these days!
[Unreal Tournament 3]
Epic Games' stunning multiplayer-based shooter is finally here, arriving on our lovable black behemoth months before it'll hit any other console. Witness, one and all, the power of the Unreal Engine properly chugging along at a smooth framerate and with all the fancy-pants bells and whistles that only Epic can provide (it is their engine after all).
"Unreal Tournament 3 sets a new benchmark for graphical quality and what a first-person shooter gameplay experience on the PlayStation 3 system should be," boasts Midway CMO Steve Allison. "The game is a must-have for a PlayStation 3 system owner this holiday season."
"We are thrilled to put Unreal Tournament 3 in gamers' hands before the holidays," adds Mark Rein, Epic Games' VP. "The game plays so amazingly, and I think this is the pick-up-and-play shooter people have been waiting for on PlayStation 3. In addition, UT3 is the first game ever to allow truly robust user-created content - we call them 'mods' (as in 'modifications') - on any console platform, and we can't wait to see what the mod community creates for this game. User-created content has always been the remarkable backbone component of the Unreal Tournament series, and we think PlayStation 3 system users are in for a huge treat when the mods start to appear."
"We are excited about our continued collaboration with Midway on Unreal Tournament 3, exclusively for PS3," finishes Riley Russell, SVP of third party relations at Sony Computer Entertainment America. "Unreal Tournament 3 is sure to be a hit this holiday season as it allows gamers to embrace the creativity of user-generated content utilizing the power of the Unreal Engine 3 on PS3."
