Confirmation needed from EPIC: UT3 out on 12th in Germany ?

[D2F[Leo]]

As mentioned before: While feigning death you keep your weapon in your hand, unlike really dead players.

Still it can be hard to see in certain situations; you don't always have the time to check if there's a weapon in someone's hand. Anyway it depends on how much feign death will be used online, but still you are handicapped in this regard with a censored version.

I played 2k4 in German for a while before I switched to English and among other things I noticed the disadvantage of not being able to see people's blood "in the air", e.g. when someone moves around a corner. You ARE handicapped with a censored version, even if the changes seem marginal.

Edit: About the compatibility question that came up here: As the uncensored UT3 version most certainly will have an option to turn gore off, I guess that the German version is compatible with it, just as in 2k4.

The first Midway employee I asked said that i will be out by August 2006. Then I think Midway will tell EPIC about the release dates., and it is easier to ask here than to register over there.




Hahahaha, lolololol. The German version includes the English version they said (just maybe with reduced gore). And the bloodpatch for the last game was out before UT2004 was in stores.

Is there a way to change the languages in the US version?

I'd laugh if everyone outside of Germany boycotted the decision and didn't buy a single copy.

Is there a way to change the languages in the US version?

Sure. I had my US copy running in Portuguese at one point. It's a setting in one of the .ini files, don't remember which, something like "language = [x]." Some available values for x are INT (international english), DET (german) POT (portuguese -- I think I had to download that one), KOT (korean), ITT (italian)... you get the idea.

You'll find several sets of files with those values as extensions in your UT directory... open them in a text editor and you'll find things like names of mutators, death messages, announcement text (red flag returned et al), and anything else that might need to be translated.

Let me tell you that the cut german version will not have any influnce on the gameplay and experience at all.

For casual gamers this statement might be true, but blood splats and (with the return of feign death) gibbing dead bodies do give a tactical advantage for experienced players. These help finding out if you actually placed a hit and whether someone really is dead.

I will play it as soon as it's on the torrent site on 12th.
Don't worry I already pre-ordered the CE, I just can't wait to see the maps and vehicles.

I thought there will be a special Austria-Edition for UT3 which will be uncut, so I guess the normal German Edition will be cut, won't it?
But what I am interested in is: Will the Austria-Edition (as well as the German Edition) be Multilingual because I don't intent to play UT3 in German but in English (if it won't be multilingual I will have to buy the English version)?
