News: Mod support is incoming for the PS3.
The epic leader of Epic Games, Mark Rein, has revealed on Epic's forums that the "cooker" to make mods for Unreal Tournament III PS3-compatible should be ready next week. Here's what Mr. Rein had to say:
We're very close to releasing an update to the Unreal Engine 3 editor, that comes with the PC version of UT3, that will allow UT3 mod-makers to cook their mods into the required PS3 format. We've been doing some internal testing and we're hoping to expand to a wider group tomorrow or Friday. If all goes well then we should see the update released next week which is what I expect will happen. Obviously the process works, as we put out a few mods before Christmas and people seem to be playing them, but it is the update to the editor that we're testing.
So it's not a certainty yet (notice the "If all goes well"), but it looks like mod support for the PS3 version of Unreal Tournament III should be ready to go next week. We'll keep you posted.
