Unreal Tournament 2007 for 360, new name
Speculated but never officially confirmed, Midway has finally announced that Unreal Tournament 2007 is bound for the Xbox 360, albeit with a new name. Entitled Unreal Tournament III, the game is expected to hit the 360 in the second half of 2007. UT3 (obviously) runs on the Unreal Engine 3 and should delight deathmatch junkies world wide. The game will feature the traditional deathmatch, team deathmatch, and capture the flag. A third mode, entitled Warfare, will be available as well (perhaps it will function something like Warzone on GOW?). The game looks to feature an expansive campaign mode, too. IGN has the scoop, as well as the first official trailer.
Seriously, we like other consoles. We do. We just can't afford anything else with so many outstanding titles hitting the 360 this year.
UT 2007 screenshots are unreal
Strategy Informer has released some new shots of Unreal Tournament 2007. The (mostly confirmed) 360 title is looking silky smooth. These are the kind of visuals we would have doubted before Gears of War showed us what our curvy little white box (and the Unreal Engine) is capable of producing. It makes us happy knowing that we don't have to spend hundreds of dollars upgrading our PC just to play it. As of now, we're still left with a vague 2007 release date, so soak up these screenshots for all they're worth, because you won't be getting much else any time soon. Hit the read link for more new shots.

UT '07 is so relatively plausible, man [update:1]
Midway announced today that Unreal Tournament 2007 will be delayed until...um...2007. That in itself is no big deal. The big part of the news is contained in this snippet from the press release:
"The next gen version(s) have yet to be tagged with an exact ship date yet"
The parenthetical "S" says it all. Not version, versions, folks. When asked directly whether or not this confirmed the oft-rumored development of a 360 version of UT 2007, an
"Nothing is yet confirmed ... [but] I would say that your assumption is relatively plausible"
Sounds like a yes to me.

Update 1: Midway spokesman, not Atari. D'oh!
Unreal Tournament 2007 coming to Xbox 360
Not sure if this wasn't planned all along, but the above image from the May 2006 issue of GamePro magazine clearly says Unreal Tournament 3 will be coming to the PlayStation 3 and the Xbox 360.
During Epic's press preview at GDC, Mark Rein said that UT2007 was being developed on both the PC and PS3 platforms; however, Gears of War is obviously being developed on the Xbox 360. Since the Unreal Engine 3 middleware is built for both systems, there is no technical reason the games couldn't be cross ported. GoW is still a 360 exclusive ... for now.
