Mappers, read!

OK, Its a question from me, not some new piece of news or anything.

Will you be making your maps such that they run well on the ps3?
Or will you focus on mapping solely for the PC?

Also, its time to start laying out rules for a mapping contest!!!! Like ps3 compatibility!

YOU CAN VOTE MORE THAN ONCE

edit:dont mind the grammar on the poll.......haha
By ps3 with restrained versions, I meant that after the PC map was finished, you would do a harsh optimization to make it run on the ps3.

What is a ps3?

now i want the battle between the king of mapping...... me and jebus.
ok lord we are looking for game play between you and me in the maps we put out when UT3 finally gets out. hands Lord Simon a beer and cheers.

My computer doesn't have enough gigs to hold a LS B3 comp. Better upgrade.

Having it run on two systems is a bad Idea! This will cripple the maps being made.
The PS3 console owners won't be able to run the fancy maps made for the PC.
While the PC owners will complain of the low grade maps made for the PS3 that is sure to flood the seen.

Mappers will have to have both systems to check compatibility between them.

This one thing could make, or break the game.

Aalexanderrr · 09-22-2007, 08:03 AM

Is it me or I really heard about that maps for both platforms will be made on PC and then will be converted to PS3 via special converter?

phalanx · 09-22-2007, 09:12 AM

lol i'm not playing against PS3 players, unless the stupid console "free auto-aim" is removed, i'm on a PC i make maps for PC not some rubbish overpriced POS console

JoystickMonkey · 09-22-2007, 02:32 PM

I don't really see what the big deal is. Developing for a console is a really good way to benchmark your map. If it runs well on PS3, it will run really well on a good computer.

People should be optimizing their maps as much as possible regardless of their target platform.

I think that it would be worth it to develop for PS3, as long as people actually start buying the system.

Also, it would probably really be worth it to optimize once the 360 jumps on board.

Borat · 09-23-2007, 08:41 AM

Eh, if a map I made was good enough for someone to actually want to play it, regardless of platform, I might go back and optimize it properly.

Also, what might these compatibility issues be?

outpt.co.uk · 09-23-2007, 12:44 PM

I'd be ashamed to see one of my maps run on anything with a Sony logo.

Maybe a Sony PC screen might be ok.

On a serious note though, I really couldn't care about the PS3.

DeadMeatGF · 09-23-2007, 01:44 PM

Sony sucks donkey balls ...
If I could make a UT3 map and prevent it working on PS3 I would ...

Berjj · 09-23-2007, 01:56 PM

I'll be focusing on PC. I don't know how the PS3 file sharing system will work, but if the PS3 can handle those maps I don't see why not make them availble for the PS3 as well? I doubt I would make two separate versions of one map for either platform. If the PS3 can run the map, fun for all PS3 owners, if not, too bad, I don't care.

phalanx · 09-23-2007, 02:13 PM

i got a plan, make a UT3 map of a giant Wii (or remote) bwhahaha
