Epic Gameshas announced that Unreal Tournament 3 will not have support for cross platform play. This announce came from Epic VP Mark Rein wich has finally confirmed that the game will not feature cross-platform multiplayer ~ at least at launch.
"The
biggest challenge in doing cross platform play is syncronizing the
builds such that the build on the PC is 100% compatible with the build
on the PS3. Unfortunately (or fortunately) when you develop games on
console you have a lengthy certification process to go through each
time you release anything new."
"We looked at how this would impact
our ability to respond quickly to things happening at internet speed on
the PC side of the equation and realized that this would not be in the
best interests of our very loyal PC userbase, because we would
constantly be holding on to updates to wait until they passed cert on
the console platform."
