Gamernode: News - PC UT3 beta demo "within two weeks"

PC UT3 beta demo "within two weeks"

One of the disadvantages of multi-platform development is that versions for certain platforms can get delayed--and no one likes a delayed game.

If you've been eyeballing the PS3 edition or the Xbox 360 edition of Unreal Tournament 3, you'll be waiting till 2008.

But as for the PC version, you're in luck because Mark Rein, Epic Games' vice president, announced that a UT3 beta demo is heading to PC users "within two weeks". Specifically, Rein stated:

"Folks,

Just wanted to give you a heads' up that we're getting pretty close to releasing the Unreal Tournament 3 Beta Demo for Windows. The Beta Demo will allow instant action play against bots as well as online multiplayer. The purpose of the Beta Demo is to test the game on a large variety of hardware configurations and get gameplay feedback from the community. The development team feels they're pretty close to being ready to release this so it could come out this week but for safety sake I'd say it should be out within two weeks."

Much rejoicing ensues!
