Forums - Microsoft - UT3 User-created mods on 360? Mark Rein: "Oh, it's going to happen."

Close to impossible - not in the way that it happens at the moment (i.e. on PC).

MS will *never* allow uncertified code, assets or content to run rampant on their network. Sony wouldn't either.

Maybe the game will ship with some form of editor (i.e. a level editor) - that is about the only way that it seems feasible to me.

OXM? the same ones with the new MGS4 rumor ? uhm .. somehow that makes me disbelief them , but I hope the best for you 360 guys , for mods are awesome for UT

It's not like it's in their rumor section, it's the actual game developer saying it.


Nice to see you posting again, Legend.


Thanks :)

Well MS already handed Sony a timed exclusive on UT 3, I don't think they'll make the same mistake twice and not allow mods whenever the 360 versions comes out.



Thanks to Blacksaber for the sig!

dude the 512mb limit wont alow it. You are bringing mods, maps huge maps over 10 times the size of GoW maps, microsoft is grabbing epic by the b#lls with money ever since they threatend to bring gears to the ps3. Then again there is the possibility $$$ talks..

The interview and context is better in this article which puts it into full context...

So what will 360 owners love about Unreal Tournament III?

Rein: It rocks. It's so much fun to play on console. There's a little bit of auto-aim like on Gears... what I like is none of our success on console has affected our games on PC. We have mods on UT for PlayStation3 and...

What about the 360 version?

Rein: To bring mods to 360, we're going to have to make some serious changes.

So you're not going to include them?

Rein: Oh, it's going to happen but 360 is a closed system so we have to work with Microsoft on that.

Can you tell me the reason why Unreal Tournament III became a timed exclusive for PlayStation3?

Rein: I just did.

The mods?

Rein: Yeah, the mods. That's what makes it sell for so long, what keeps it played years down the line. I can understand the frustration from 360 owners but it's not going to go away. Five or six months down the line, Unreal is still there. Are they going to come late to the party? Sure. But the game will still be there and that's when the best mods will start coming out too. We've had talks with Microsoft about it but I don't think they're ready for it yet. Sony's been ready. Don't forget we only announced UT was coming to 360 in... January, so it's not that big a surprise.
