Titan Pack delayed in Europe

**Steve Polge** · 03-19-2009, 06:37 PM

Believe me, we are as outraged and disappointed by this situation as you are. We're still trying to understand how this happened - this entire fiasco starting with the 3/5 delay has been entirely out of our hands.

The Titan Pack will be release in Europe on 3/26.

We're still tracking down whether this delay affected the North American release or not.

Our humblest apologies.

SCEE... I wonder why they delayed it.

**Realdiamond** · 03-19-2009, 06:39 PM

Er Another week, Can't you bye pass SCEE and use the built in PS3 mod browser instead.

Can any of the moderators suggest whether this is a viable option or not please.

I doubt this: why didn't they do this in the first place then? I guess there is much more code involved than what a single mod can execute.

This just went horribly wrong: 1st, they couldn't make the deadline of March the 5th, then SCEE releases the 2.0 patch anyway while SCEA is still waking up and, now SCEE messes up big time and there is a hole between the EU and US community again.

cheers for the explaination, sony really are crap!

**trip62** · 03-19-2009, 06:46 PM

Right, thanks for the info. Waiting patiently again.

**Vortec32** · 03-19-2009, 06:48 PM

Downloading the Titan right NOW!!!!!

America.

**trip62** · 03-19-2009, 06:51 PM

Tables have turned. EU got Patch 2.0 first, now US get the Titan Pack first

Did I mention I'm jealous. Is it worth trying to download the US version?

yay, first we get no competition for a week cause everyone's american, and then they get the pack first, sounds fair.

**nbnz** · 03-19-2009, 06:53 PM

That is really gutting (although I have both EU and US copies so hopefully the US one won't be affected).

I really home Sony get their act together with certification one of these days. One of the best examples ever of developer support for the PS3 and Sony (SCEE specifically I assume) mess it up. Anyway I hope this doesn't leave a bitter aftertaste for Epic - because what you are doing with this pack and for PS3 players is awesome.

US obviously.

Where? I'm in the US and I've searched the Add-Ons section, as well as the New Releases area and it's not there yet. I'm in NC on the East Coast.

**gpat** · 03-19-2009, 07:01 PM

I found it by clicking on the UT3 banner which was up on the front page of the US PSN store. If the banner isn't there, exit the store and go back in because the banners seem to change around randomly.

**ranger_danger** · 03-19-2009, 07:01 PM

It hasn't showed up in Australia yet.

I'm downloading it right now from the US PSN store. Pack is 552 MB.

**KayoticKiller** · 03-19-2009, 06:55 PM

where did you find it at?

**KayoticKiller** · 03-19-2009, 07:00 PM

Found it, i can confirm that it has been released in NA.

**ReverendCrow** · 03-19-2009, 07:00 PM

it was one of the main ads (on the main screen) and this is what all those little impatient people get they dont deserve it lol

**iiwii** · 03-19-2009, 07:01 PM

I just got it too. It appeared in the center section where it advertises games. I'm d/l now too.

And confirmed.. 552MB

**Bleak5170** · 03-19-2009, 07:01 PM

I can't even get into the store now. I was just there 10 minutes ago and there was nothing.

What the heck? Is Canada getting snubbed now too? There's no pack on our store.

Edit: Okay I got it. I had to jump all around the store until it showed up in a banner ad. Unfortunately I'm getting all kinds of network errors though.

**trip62** · 03-19-2009, 07:02 PM

Yep it's in the US store. Not listed except in the center advertisement thing when you go back to the main menu of the store.

Any chance it would be compatible with the EU game?

**Conroy** · 03-19-2009, 07:03 PM

I wonder if SCEE found a bug. They are way more strict than SCEA who tend to "release now, patch later" (I'm looking at you SOCOM and SSFIITHDR).

If there is a bug, you know people are just going to moan about it and demand better bug testing in future releases.

No. As Steve said, this was out of our hands.

**iiwii** · 03-19-2009, 07:07 PM

It's downloading pretty quick. I'm about 60% complete already. I thought it would be slow to start with everyone hitting it.

Everyone hitting it? Jesus if something like this happens again there will be 1 less everyone downloading it. What a joke, if its ready it should be released.

**trip62** · 03-19-2009, 07:08 PM

What the heck, I'm downloading it too. I thought I'd join in since I was waiting most of the night. I will confirm when it DOESN'T work with the EU version lol

**richi902** · 03-19-2009, 07:10 PM

is germany getting it at all? since we dont got the map pack aswell :/......

edit: did you got the mappack in uk?

**trip62** · 03-19-2009, 08:14 PM

US pack doesn't work with EU game. No surprise but I thought I'd check.

Next week it is. Good night.

**totalweapon** · 03-20-2009, 05:27 AM

I can't bloody believe it's been delayed again that will be 3 weeks, absolutely toilet.

Thanks Sony, for the reminder you hate Europe.

Like you guys I'm very disappointed. We can't enjoy Titan alongside everyone else, were a week behind them as we were months behind them in getting UT3. Even worse we can't link up with our clans 'till next week! If Sony Corp. want to know why people think they're not the best anymore then thats because they use words like "innovation" perhaps they should re-phrase to "EU vacation". Really guys thanks for making all those not from N.America in getting a realistic picture of your Sony Worldwide Global community. It is you that we should call "Unreal".
No blame towards Epic imo. Thanks for such an innoavting and inspiring gesture. I will continue to play on 360. As for PS3 then....it can gather dust in my cupboard.

Not unless you have a US copy of the game. I already learnt that lesson with the previous map pack.

Even with that Ps3 UT3 league Xerxes is setting up on iAMgaming?

**Realdiamond** · 03-26-2009, 05:00 AM

just under 11 hours to go.
A reminder the USA is only 4 EDT - 7 PDT hours behind the UK as we are not on BST we are still on GMT till Sunday.
O and you only need the dam TITAN pack to host or play the new maps. Every thing else was in the 2.0 engine update.
I found a TITAN running server yippee. Finaly, but it was VCTF maps.

**ColossusSlayer** · 03-26-2009, 06:24 AM

ok its thursday mornin and the day that the titan pack comes out in the UK. if it gets delayed again i am selling my copy of UT3 coz thats insane and a complete piss take. if it does come out im gonna have a great night tonight : )
