Features are nice, but all the bonus content in the world isn't worth squat if the game isn't loads of fun. Jeff Morris, Senior Producer at Epic Games, offered up his thoughts on how Unreal Tournament 3 will lure people away from the twin headed beast of Halo 3 and Call of Duty 4:
SPEED! UT3 is a zero time to spectacle game, meaning that when you spawn into the world, you're instantly in the action. Vehicles are exploding, robots are blowing apart lizard monsters, just non-stop CARNAGE! We're an unabashedly twitch game. Your targeting reticule doesn't expand when you move, so you can be just as accurate with your weapons whether crouching in a corner or jumping off a bridge. UT3 doesn't have a spawn queue, so when you die, you're instantly back into the action. I think UT3 is just what the doctor ordered for people suffering for the accursed affliction of Tactical Shooter Fatigue.
We'll have plenty more on Unreal Tournament 3 once Midway's Gamers Day event wraps up this week, but we thought you'd enjoy getting this trailer and set of screenshots in the gallery a bit early. Enjoy.
