Unreal Tournament III Discussion *renamed*

If you choose to assume instead that its because of the "PS3's superior capabilities" then thats fine but I see nothing in the interview to support such an assumption.


What about the last line then? (check the bolding :) )

And the point is that we're more prepared today for PlayStation 3 than we were for Xbox 360 this time last year, and the engine is running a little better

Wasn't that UT3 demo already running @50fps 2 years ago at GDC on PS3 (devkit)? I remember some quotes from back then...

At ~47fps but then it was very small corridor fights with no long-range landscape views. Not shure if they used 2x6800xx GPU's or the RSX back then at E3'05.

It was a quiet large room with windows with objects outside (only a small section of it was a very small corridor)

They claimed at the time it was using a PS3 devkit with 2 6800 ultras I think, but who knows if that was the case.

Rein's comments about it being ~47 fps came from a different interview I think, unrelated to E3 (It was on Eurogamers website I read it).
It looks amazing ...
Indeed it does.

If that is running at 60fps then there really is no need to lock it down to 30. The only time it really stutters is when the aircraft is shooting something on the ground.

I could live with that if it was silky smooth everywhere else (as it seems to be in that video)

I take that to read (especially given the context of the rest of his statements) that the engine is running better than it was in the same time frame on the 360 last year. Not better than it was running on PS3 last year.

The games framerate will fluctuate wildly with circumstances but Reins comments make it clear that it can't acieve 60fps often enough to lock it at that.

Rein has also said that they rank graphics over speed, if they could lock it to 60fps they would add more graphical details and lock it to 30fps anyway. 30fps and 720p is the target for maximum IQ.

The original quotation for that was regarding Gears of War.
 
He comments on both, not one part then the next.

No it won't be 1080p @ 60fps.

Well duh.

He doesn't say it won't be 60 fps or even 1080p, he just said it won't be both.

He didn't deny that the demo currently showing at Liepzig is running at 60fps in his recent forum post someone quoted either.

so we know it won't be 60fps now... the question is will it be 1080p?

No, he just confirmed that the shipping game will not be running at 60fps, if you read that evil avatar thread, he says for all he knows they targeted a wall and it was running at 120fps.
 
It is running good, good framerate but then there is no enemies there, only the player and a empty level!

True, but we have had reports that says it runs well above 30 fps most of the time so it should run just as good with opponents.

About the "empy level" as you say, after seeing the KZ2 walkthroughs with the atmosphere and stuff KZ2 levels holds, the level in this game seems very empty.
 
Very nice. The weapon and vehicle designs look fun. That's more important than the amazing visual. Is there going to be a player-beta ?

Not an open one me thinks.
PS3 won't even get a demo before the release. PC demo will somewhat be the open-beta.
