Last night on the Epic forums, Mark Rein, Vice President of Epic Games, left a message concerning the PS3 cooker for the Unreal Engine 3 editor. Apparently the editor is in the final stages of testing and could be out next week.
The actual post goes:
I just wanted to give you an update:
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.
Happy New Year!
This is fantastic news for PS3 gamers. Some of the most popular games started out as mods, case and point Counter-Strike. Who knows what is in store for the Unreal Tournament 3 community?
