No PS3 demo slated for Unreal Tournament 3

We’ve got some bad news for PS3 users hoping to get an Unreal Tournament 3 demo. Whereas PC players will be able to experience three levels of UT3 goodness, it seems PS3 gamers won’t have the same luxury.

The news was announced during a recent press event, where Epic Games VP Mark Rein confirmed that there were currently no plans to offer a PS3 demo of the game.

According to Rein, the reason for the decision was that Epic Games was focusing on finishing the game. He explained that all games have to go through Sony to receive a stamp of approval before release, with demos requiring the same certification before they can be offered to the general public. According to Rein, it would take too much time to develop a demo that would also get Sony’s certification, so they decided to focus on finishing the game first.

That being said though, expect us to have some impressions on the PC demo of the game when it comes out. For PS3 gamers though, they’ll just have to be patient.
