PS3 UT3 modding to see improvements, nothing new for Xbox 360

Though Epic Games may be optimistic about Unreal Tournament 3 modifications on Xbox 360, they’ve recently claimed that they haven’t made and headway into making that happen on Microsoft’s next generation console. While its all just sad news in the green front, Epic Games did address shortcomings in modification support on the Sony’s PlayStation 3. More on that at the full story.

Epic Games‘ Mark Rein revealed in a recent interview that progress in the push for user content over Microsoft’s Xbox Live is virtually non-existent. But the vice president did say that Unreal Tournament 3 on the Sony PlayStation 3 (also on Microsoft Xbox 360, Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X) will be given additional enhancements to modification support.

Rein admitted that the current modification system in place for the PS3 wasn’t great and added that improvements to that system will arrive soon. He also said that a definite release date for the Xbox 360 version of UT3 still cannot be set, and there was no mention of how much they’ve achieved in that alley.

The latest developments in the Unreal Tournament mod scene saw the release of UT2k4 player skins for the original Unreal Tournament (UT Classic, UT99) perhaps in fanbase response favoring the first UT game. Close in tow were the recent asset previews of Xen Project, a UT3 mod showcasing an Alien versus Predator theme. More updates to come soon.
