Unreal Tournament 3

So you guys know, Icculus updated on 9/18/2008 with the following post. He is still diligently working on the Mac and Linux clients as you can see from the screenshots.

Just.... don't hold your breath.

(Also, 100% ignore any retailer's release date they put. They're just placeholders they make up in hopes that the product will be released by then... should be stopped if you ask me.)
 
^^that it possibly won't ever be released. There's been to many legal problems, the reviews hardly set the world alight and anyone who wants it is already bootcamping the PC version.
 
Macsoft still has the same posting they did from 2 years ago, either no one is home or they forgot all about this one. You would think someone at Macsoft would have the brains to say something to its customers. :rolleyes: just yank the advertisement from 07 you knuckleheads.
 
I blame Microsoft.. They're probably paying them to keep it hidden. :p
 
I blame lack of interest and the fact that Icculus is a single guy with a lot of clients and projects to work on all at once. Look how only recently Prey came out with a Linux client, and that game is over two years old now. (Icculus did the Linux Prey port.)

I haven't seen, read, or heard any evidence in the past year to suggest UT3 is being held up by any legal reasons as well (not that I'm the sole source of information, I just pay attention to this game series). The only 'recent' thing I've heard is my earlier post here back in november.

So, in sort, It'll come sometime, just need to be patient.
 
Is it possible to run unreal tournament in CrossOver Games instead of Bootcamp? I would rather not have to restart to play a quick game before dinner. What has everyone's experience been with this?
 
Which UT game are you talking about? There are four now, so if you aren't talking about UT3 I'd start a new thread for game-specific help.

Either way though, I can almost guarantee that UT3 wouldn't run in Crossover due to its requirements with shaders and whatnot. According to the Wine AppDB (which Crossover uses), the game barely runs. Better off booting into Windows and running it natively.

So much for the fecking simultaneous release they promised, bet there won't be any tools for Mac either.
 
I saw the PC version for $12 today at GameStop. I already got the PC version for $19, the collectors edition even, and I've been enjoying it ever since. I gave up on the Mac version and I'm running it through bootcamp. :)

I'd suggest if you have an Intel Mac, find yourself a cheap copy of XP and UT3 and enjoy the game. I wouldn't hold my breath for MacSoft to release the game, or even speculate when they may finally release it. :rolleyes:

I wish I could run it under Virtualbox + XP, but there's no way something so graphics-intensive would fly. Rebooting into Windows is too painful for me... guess I'm stuck on UT2004 for a while, or perhaps forever.

Rebooting isn't that bad, if your machie is new and quick enough to run the game and you have XP it's much better then waiting for the Mac version, which will probably never come out at this point. :p

Rebooting is too painful for you? I feel sorry for you every time there's an important OSX update.
