Unreal Tournament Coming to PS3 and PC, Crossplatform and Equal
08.07.07 - 05:32pm
A few weeks ago Microsoft released their crossplatform first person shooter Shadowrun on both the Xbox 360 and the PC. What could have been a great game and perfect merger between the platforms but Microsoft tweaked the game to help give Xbox 360 players a slight performance advantage to make up for the differences between the 360 controller and the PC keyboard. Sony and Epic have included mouse and keyboard support on the Playstation 3 for Unreal Tournament 3 rather than use software modifications to equalize the field. This is a huge move for the Playstation 3 as it puts their players on an accuracy level with the PC players and it doesn’t alienate the PC players from the game. Now all we need is Microsoft to release a keyboard and mouse for the Xbox 360 and make all the platforms equal. I eagerly look forward to slaughtering some PS3 players now and not having the excuse of “my thumbstick got stuck”.

Just curious, does anyone play Shadowrun? It looked interesting, I just didn’t fancy being purposely penalized for using a PC.
Surely the xbox and 360 have keyboard and mouse support?
Perhaps this is a move to make the 360 look better than a PC in an attempt to improve sales?
I had never heard of someone using a Keyboard and Mouse on the xbox 360 to do gaming. I know the PS2 supported a keyboard for the Final Fantasy MMO but that’s as far as I knew. Anyone know if Microsoft has introduced Keyboard/Mouse controls in Xbox 360 games?
