Mark Rein On UT3 Delay

On the official Unreal Tournament 3 website Mark Rein, vice president of Epic Games, was quoted saying the following regarding the PS3 release.

“As a public company, Midway felt an obligation to its shareholders to let them know about the possibility of a delay. Our goal is still to get the PS3 version of UT3 in stores before the end of 2007. However, we will only ship it once it’s ready and is the best game we can deliver.”

“In addition, there is some good news, as a little extra time in development means that now the PS3 version will have all of the same maps as the PC version whereas we previously expected to ship a fewer maps on console.”

So, good and bad news I guess. Official statement to follow.
