Seems reasonable, Geoff Keighley twittered this:

I wonder what Epic Games has been up to? Haven't heard much from them lately....

Gears 3 duh! That's what they're up to.

What were the sales numbers like?

I know they have "HouseHold" appeal when it comes to Xbox 360.....But you can't rule out exclusivity....

Why are people saying this won't happen?
Microsoft doesn't own Epic, they can do whatever they want.

The Xbox 360 has a higher userbase, Microsoft is more willing to pour in a lot of advertising and the differences between a PS3 and Xbox 360 game in terms of result are marginal so they have more incentive to give this hypothetical game to the 360 than PS3.

So the PS3 should get no 3rd party exclusives....and the 360 should get all of them, is what you're trying to say?

OT: More refined than the Unreal Engine in Gears 2? Ouch. That's the 360s most graphically intensive game and it's already getting usurped by the PS3...again

How many notable 3rd party exclusives for the PS3 do not come out of Japan? I can't really think of at all that many.

That doesn't really mean anything Squil.  You're still saying 360 should get all exclusives, basically.

And combating a rumored exclusive with 'it's likely not true and more likely to be exclusive to the competition' is trolling.  Except you won't get banned because they're too selective with enforcing trolling.  Kudos, ninja. 

Accusing people of trolling can also be considered trolling, its almost like the famous Eminem line of 'I find you offensive for finding me offensive'. Furthermore these kinds of statements pretty much go the other way whenever an potential Xbox 360 exclusive JRPG is announced. I did say outside of Japan afterall.



Tease.

0.56 million for the PS3 and it was released in December 2007.

I remember it had a reasonable level of hype as well.

I cannot remember the level of hype for the game, but I will say that the game was definitely made with the mouse and keyboard in mind.  UT is most certainly not console oriented.

Unless Sony paid them, I don't see a fiscal reason for EPIC to make a PS3 exclusive.

Reasonable Squill?

Having the Nvidia guy at the 2005 E3 swearing it could not be real time is reasonable?
