UT3 Won't use Live

Well, the PC version of the game at least unless things change. Here's a post by Epic's Mark Rein:

UT3 does not use Games for Windows LIVE. We have not decided about cross platform play between PC and PS3. We're not 100% sure that users want that feature but if we get time we'll play around with it and see how it works. In the mean time we plan to be able to serve the PS3 from PC servers so that should help us gets lots of great servers going.

I've got Xbox live, it's great for a console. But for PC it's just a BS rip off.

BubblesDAVERAGE6870d ago

paying to play pc games really aint that big of a thing

Way to go Epic and Sony.

Thats what ive been waiting for ages on the 360, dedicated Servers.
damn this L!VE service will ruin everything in the future.....

Watkins6870d ago

Hope they don't do it. keyboard and mouse vs controller is liek wtf

Kleptic6870d ago

PS3 version is rumored to support a mouse and keyboard though too...

as long as not every server is both PC and PS3, I think it could work pretty well...I have a good bit of friends that are getting this for PC...and a good bit for PS3...it would be cool if we could all kill each other over and over again regardless of what hardware we are using...as long as it works right...

DirtyRat6870d ago

The Live service is really crap for large multiplayer games, since the avergae persons upload speed is far to low to deal with anymore than 4 players. It's a good move to stay with dedicated servers, games like The Darkness have suffered badly in multiplayer due to the limits of peer to peer tech.

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

Jingsing10d ago

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit10d ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing10d ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster9210d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
