| Unreal Tournament 3 Integrates GameSpy Technology IGN Entertainment's GameSpy and Epic Games announce a licensing deal to incorporate GameSpy's multiplayer technology into Epic's Unreal Tournament 3, the immensely popular first-person shooter franchise. This partnership comes on the heels of a recent announcement between GameSpy and Epic Games that included a licensing deal to incorporate GameSpy's online technology into Epic's Unreal Engine 3 and GameSpy joining Epic's Integrated Partners Program. Under the terms of the agreement, GameSpy's multiplayer technology - including multiplayer matchmaking, in-game and out-of-game messaging, deep player statistics, VoIP communication and a robust leaderboard and ranking system - will be incorporated into both the PlayStation 3 and PC versions of Unreal Tournament 3. The new agreement expands on GameSpy's current relationship with Epic Games, which created a one-stop solution for game developers by incorporating GameSpy's online technology into Unreal Engine 3. Unreal Tournament 3 marks the return of the industry's premiere first-person shooter franchise. In the latest installment of the Unreal franchise, players assume the role of a futuristic warrior engaged in contests of intense warfare against dedicated and skilled opponents, controlled either by human contestants online or by A.I. These brutal contests are fought with the most powerful military weapons and vehicles known to man. In Unreal Tournament 3, players can go face-to-face with devastating close quarters weapons like the flak cannon and rocket launcher, or pick off their enemies from a distance with a high-caliber sniper rifle. Players will also be able to fully access the universe's most capable and advanced set of vehicles in their quest to dominate and overwhelm opponents. Unreal Tournament 3 will also be the first game to feature robust user-generated content on PlayStation 3 including multiplayer maps, custom game modes and much more. Unreal Tournament 3 is scheduled for release November 19 on the PC and is coming soon for the PlayStation 3. write your comments about the article :: © 2007 Game News :: home page |
