PS3 version uses Texture Detail 1; World Detail 2

[Uzi Downes]

And Epic did ship UT3 PC with a lot of bugs, it's just that the PC version plays infinitely better than the PS3 version, which, as this topic has already said, plays at texture detail 1, world detail 2 at a whopping 30 FPS.

I wouldn't say infinitely better at all, even with the bugs. Just FYI I do own and play both.

The thing that worries me a little is you sound like you've had no experience with the PS3 version (based on some pretty basic queries), yet you're quite happy to accept anything slightly negative as fact and re-quoting it. On the other hand, you seem quite reluctant to accept anything that goes against one of your reiterated PS3 flaws from people who own the game (or both). preferring to argue over multiple posts still unconvinced.

It seems you have quite a slanted view on something you have no real practical knowledge of. Instead preferring to feel you know better then those that actually have the game themselves.

Re the initial topic, rather than listen to someones opinion and being quick to jump on it, how about going and finding out the facts yourself. Download the source and have a look. Actually back up what you want to report as fact with some facts.

It might be correct, it may not... but at least you'll have some credibility to go along with your comments.

Mutators mean nothing because in the end, about 95% of the servers will use stock settings.

But since you very obviously don't have the PS3 version and probably never will why are you bothering complaining about it? Just enjoy your PC version and let those out there with the PS3 version do the same. Honestly, some people just don't know when to quit!!

In all honesty I couldn't care less that the PS3 version looks inferior to the PC version, this is to be expected, how could a £300 console match a top end PC? Come on be realistic. For a console game it's still **** good looking. For me it looks like UT, and more importantly it FEELS like UT. People like you let the PC gaming community down with your stuck up attitudes towards console gamers. I have UT 2004 on my PC and still play it, and while it's near impossible to get those same fast paced controls translated through a controller Epic have done a commendable job. Yes it's buggy, but name any game that doesn't have problems? Nothing is perfect, and for Epic this is a learning curve and for doing such a good job they should be applauded, not criticised.

Well it is an opinion that the PC version plays better. IMO they probably had to slow the game 20% for their default settings otherwise it would be too difficult for people to play with a control pad. (It would be at an uncomfortable speed for most console fps gamers).

Yeah most servers would use the stock settings and that is fine...but hey, at least the option is there for people who want to make the game fast like the PC version.

And yeah the graphics aren't as good as the PC version--that's obvious but wow, it looks fantastic on the PS3 and plays just as well as the PC version. I mean the dodge is missing and a few other things here and there but for all intents and purposes, it's practically the same thing.

Hopefully when the PS3 patch comes out things will be about the same as the PC version. (in terms of gameplay)

By the way, 30 fps never looked so good in a game Seriously, it is very very smooth and looks good.

30 fps on my laptop when playing the ut3betademo looks horrid compared to the PS3 version.

I do agree with and understand the reasoning for doing it, it'd be nice though if somewhere along the line they did add in the proper speed as an official option. Check my sig and give it a whirl, even on a controller it's pretty playable.

Some people will like it slower, but choice is always a good thing

i use your PCSpeedx mods in my bot games and it plays perfectly, although i do use keyboard and mouse =) (my pc is no good and dont want to upgrade it until the new mbp comes out so im ut3'ing on ps3 for the next year or so

PS3 version plays really, really well, there are some issues that really do need fixing (imo most important is allowing PCs to host PS3 servers and voice chat/dodge). It also looks really good. my pc, which used to be upper-midline 1-2 years ago cant get half the fps that my ps3 gets, at similar graphical settings.

If UE4 is going to focus on consoles, then I hope someone makes adult entertainment games - seriously. Then maybe I'll buy a console

[Harmatia]

The best way would be to download the source and actually see what is set at what, anyone can get it and anyone can check. Would be a lot better than presuming anything.



You're a curious person, you requested a mutator to downgrade the speed to that of the console (which I did for you).

Too many 'probably's', unless you know for sure or have experienced both long term then rather then assuming things you should go and download the source, if you're genuinely interested in making factual comments.

I have almost no idea at all what you're trying to say.

I just checked my PMs and tried out the mutator. Thanks =) A little slow for my tastes, but probably better for convincing friends to buy the console versions than letting them have it at full speed.

+ the:

I enjoy playing with the gamepad sometimes, and UT IS a little too fast for me with it.

But no worries, just found it weird you were trashing consoles in here and had asked for the speed to be emulated elsewhere a week ago.

Cheers mangaroo, hopefully they do something offically themselves so we can get the experience more online too. Agree with the fixes, would be good to see.

FYI it doesn't take a high end PC to max out UT3. It only takes a mid-level PC with mainstream components to play at max settings 60+ fps. People like to toss around the words "high end gaming pc" which connotes a $1000+ rig - stop being irresponsible.

offtopic but if your referring to me, then my pc was upper-mid like i said, but it was 1-2 years ago, and things have really changed since then.

It's called a bug, you know the kind of thing both versions have. Even if you'd like it to be, I doubt very much it could be considered a PS3 specific 'feature' and will no doubt be fixed. And that had absolutely nothing to do with the post I replied to, I feel sorry for people who feel so strongly about differing platforms. Get over it, get on with it and spend more time playing the game (or at least try to bring something positive into a conversation).

Enjoy what you have as opposed to trying to rubbish other platforms.

I don't see how that's a good defense of your point. "It's not a negative about the PS3 version, it's just a bug that only happens in the PS3 version".

It's not made to be used with a mouse and let's face it, who does? Do YOU even use the mouse to play?

Furthermore, if you would rather use a mouse in the first place, just one more reason you should have gotten the PC version.

I lol'd at how accurate your description of Halo truly is.

Haha so did I, I can't stand Unreal Tournament 2004 Lite and how popular it somehow is.

Er, Halo I mean.

You mean someone else out there gets this?

As I said I'm running UT3 MAXED OUT in every way on a HD2600XT, a $100 video card, and I can run anything else out there (even STALKER Shadow of Chernobyl at near-max settings not including AA and making some sacrifices with draw-distance. Everything else on, including motion blur which is a config file tweak and not even accessible in-game). And that's at 1680*1050.

Of course a few months from now I'll be Crossfire-ing two HD3870s and then I'm gonna LOL.

"high end gaming pc" which connotes a $1000+ rig

Not sure exactly who said what you posted but re the above part of it, that is really not 100% true, it depends greatly on your locale, the markup on computer components in your location etc...

Where I live you'd probably want to spend around $2000 (at the very least) to $2500 for something semi decent. My current set up cost $2000 7 months ago and it won't go anywhere near max detail.

Just saying you pricing is relative to where a person lives, and a straight money conversion is usually a bit simplistic due to middle men and so fourth.

WTF? Well if it's that much of a price difference (do you live in Australia or something) why wouldn't you just buy from a site in North America and have it shipped, it would still cost less than half of that after shipping and everything else. My PC right now I'd estimate at a total of $500-$600 CDN and as I've said, there's nothing it can't run (I got my dual-core Intel 3ghz CPU for $50 at Tiger Direct, lololo)

Hmmm, I can only play UT3 on world and texture detail 1. Why? Because if I put higher I lag too much. Heck, even on 1 - 1 my FPS is only 30.
