Unreal Tournament 3 For PlayStation 3 Delayed Until 2008
Posted by Paul Hamilton Categories: First Person Shooters, PC, PlayStation 3, Release Dates,
Midway announced today in a press release that the PlayStation 3 version of Unreal Tournament 3, originally scheduled to release with the PC version this November as a timed console exclusive, isn’t expected to be released until the first quarter of 2008. David F. Zucker, president and CEO of Midway, said he regretted having to lose the holiday sales from the delays but said, “[W]e remain confident that our technology strategy and product plan position us to grow both revenue and market share as we move into the heart of this console cycle.”
Developer Epic Games’ Mark Rein said in a forum post that the press release included UT3 as an obligation to investors and said that he was still optimistic about a 2007 release, but that they wouldn’t ship until the game was ready and “the best game (they could) deliver.” He also confirmed that the PC version, due out in November, was still on schedule to ship as planned.

First Metal Gear Solid 4 Gameplay Footage – 15 Minutes Worth!
Posted by Chris Pereira Categories: Action, Konami, PlayStation 3, Trailers,
At the 20th anniversary celebration for Metal Gear Solid, Hideo Kojima presented a 15-minute long demonstration of the upcoming PS3 exclusive(?) Metal Gear Solid 4. It’s all real time, and actually being played – and considering the game won’t be out until early next year, there’s still time left for Konami to make it look even better.
Dare I say it? Gears of War, eat your heart out.
Check out the HD version of the trailer here.

Konami: MGS4 On 360 Is Speculation
Posted by Chris Pereira Categories: PlayStation 3, Rumors, Xbox 360,
They should have just said, “No comment.”
Website Digital Spy tried to squeeze an answer out of Konami regarding an issue that’s pretty significant to the console wars and (much less importantly) the fanboy wars: is Metal Gear Solid 4 coming to the Xbox 360? While they were unsurprisingly not able to get a straight answer out of Konami, they were told that the rumors are “speculation.” That’s not a rounding endorsement that the game will be seen on Microsoft’s console anytime soon, but it also isn’t the typical, “We currently only have plans to bring game X to the PlayStation 3.” This is bound to only add fuel to the flames of the already rampant rumors.
While Hideo Kojima has time and time again said that he wants rumble, the game is also being designed specifically for the PS3. But, that still doesn’t shoot down the possibility of an Xbox 360 port – my guess is that this is an issue of timed exclusivity. The game will be released on the PS3, and then at a certain point – maybe six months – Snake and company will be released on the 360.

Metal Gear Solid 4 No Longer PS3 Exclusive?
Posted by Michael Cardiff Categories: Action, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360,
If Destructoid knows their stuff (and they’ve broken several exclusives in the past!), then Konami has done a 180 on their previous policy and will be bringing MGS4 to the 360, eventually that is. According to poster Ron “Greybush” Workman, MS and Konami have just inked a deal to bring the title to the 360 roughly a year after it debuts on the PS3. The 360 version will supposedly included added extras not available on the PS3 disc. While it’s not the system-killer that some posters are implying, the continual loss of exclusives from Sony’s latest console is not exactly painting a pretty picture for its future.
We’ll keep this story updated as new info comes in, but for now, Ron is fiercely and actively defending his claims, so we’ve got to believe that he’s got the inside scoop.

Virtua Fighter 5 Coming To Xbox 360
Posted by Christopher Sasaki Categories: Fighting, PlayStation 3, SEGA, Xbox 360,
Sega today announced that their flagship fighter Virtua Fighter 5 would no longer be exclusive to the Playstation 3. While the PS3 version launches in February, Xbox 360 owners will have to wait a few scant months until the Xbox 360 version launches some time in the summer of 2007. The announcement knocks yet another exclusive title off the PS3 list. Full details of the Xbox 360 version have yet to be announced, but one can be sure that when it ships, dedicated devotees of the series will be dissecting both console versions to determine which will be the definitive one.

Assassin’s Creed For Xbox 360 Confirmed
Posted by Christopher Sasaki Categories: Action, Ubisoft, Xbox 360,
1up is reporting that the October issue of Electronic Gaming Monthly will officially confirm that Ubisoft’s next-generation action game, Assassin’s Creed, will be coming to the Xbox 360. The post on 1up indicates that word from Ubisoft’s PR will come soon to fill gamers in on all the details. The latest issue of the UK’s 360 Magazine also features Assassin’s Creed on the cover. The story behind the game’s exclusivity, or lack thereof, has been curious. Ubisoft has been very evasive about confirming the title for platforms other than the Playstation 3, but now in the past couple of days, the game gets announced for both the PC and the Xbox 360. It is possible that Ubisoft might have been negotiating exclusivity with Sony and things fell through. It is also possible that the title was never intended to be exclusive and Ubisoft had other motives in keeping the other versions secret until now.
