Game Videos recently put up this new Unreal Tournament 3 video just pulsing with action. It seems to highlight a whole new deathmatch map and two (at least we think they're two different ones) capture-the-flag maps. Throughout this minute-and-a-half clip, you can see the same old assortment of weapons, although they been spruced up to look better and upgraded.

Although the player's favorite gun seems to be the rocket launcher (still three-barrelled, we noticed), other oldies such as the plasma rifle, the shock rifle and (ooh-la-la) flak cannon will be making the cut for UT3. All weapons seem to have been redesigned from the ground up, looking...err...a little freakier...than the ones in Unreal Tournament 2004.

Keep a keen ear toward the announcer's voice, too. The entire look of the game seems to have gone down a much grimmer road. Epic Game's masterpiece being marketed under Gears of War's shadow is set for release at the later half of 2007 for the PC, Xbox 360 and PS3.

 » unreal 2007

from the videos i have seen it looks like
the same old arena style fps...
also which has of course been done over and over again
and i think most of us are sick of it. this game will be no more fun than doom3's and quake's multiplayer arena style.
you just run around real fast with many different weapons and shoot, respawn, shoot, respawn, yawn yawn yawn

come on guys i see no good things coming from this game
just a *****bag title.
gears good, unreal *****ty

lol most of us are sick of it? you're having a laugh right?

This game is and will be better than Gears of War - the multiplayer is stale and repetitive... Unreal 2007 will easily outsell it and will please fans a hell of a lot more...

Roll on fall 2007 - I can't wait for this game!!!!

I'm a big UT fan, so I'm looking forward to this.

The Unreal Engine is a bad*** piece of software, but why am I not having the eye-gasm I was promised? Yeah, I know that the game will look better at 720p or higher, but even the gameplay looks ... i dunno... 'tired'.

Well, I won't complain if the PC, X360 and PS3 gamers can play with/against eachother. Imagine the balls-to-the-walls grudge matches between teams of console fanboys!!
I can't wait!

ye i hate this style of gameplay where you all run around like hyperactive monkeys it just means there is no stratedgy or cooperation cause the guy with the rocket launcher will win.

"This game is and will be better than Gears of War"

from what ive seen i really doubt it, gears is still on top of xbox live and for good reason with its team work strategizing, flanking and balanced gameplay style. Where as this is still the same old gameplay style as i could have got on my N64 playing quake

 » agree

yep, if they do not end up incorporating some kind of cover system, good team system, or other tactical aspects, then it will just be the same game from before. Though it does look to be the nicest game I have ever seen (minus Crysis)

 » Disappointed

I have to admit I was/am really looking forward to this game and now it seems that the only thing that epic had worked on have been the visuals :(

Eye candy will only carry the game for a few weeks then ppl will forget about it, if their is no fresh gameplay...

 » It's the same.

The announcer is the same announcer that you could use in UT2003/UT2004. Nothing new. Just another person at QJ who doesn't know what they're talking about. Not so much a flame as a reminder to have people that have experience with the software talking about it unless you want anyone who is actually knowledgeable to think you're a bunch of idiots.

 » where is the innovation

gears was new and pushed blood and guts and cover to the edge..
where is it here unreal same as 2004 just looks a little more visual, to be honest it does not even look that much better than 2004. my opinion, you buy this game your a jack ass

"there is no stratedgy or cooperation cause the guy with the rocket launcher will win."

Rocket launcher hoggers will get stomped by Flak cannon monkeys. One order of ionized flechettes coming right up.

"The announcer is the same announcer that you could use in UT2003/UT2004. Nothing new. Just another person at QJ who doesn't know what they're talking about.

There are only two default (and packaged) male voices in the UAX files of UT2004. One is the classic UT voice from GOTYE, the other is the Sean-Connery+reverb+environment-spatial DSPed type voice of UT2003 fame.

Unless you have really crappy speakers (or crappy eardrums) you'd note that the voice took a more husky tone. He's even more hurried with the Ultra Kill phrase. Or haven't you heard someone pretend to be older over the phone yet?

"Gears of War..."

Final word: Gears of War is a great game. But comparing it to Unreal Tournament is kinda out of respect.
