As I was browsing the websites of Wal-Mart and Target I noticed Unreal Tournament 2007 with a release date. I have read that it will be released in the first quarter of 2007, but had not seen an exact date. Wal-Mart has a release date set for January 5th, 2007 and also provides a preview video for all you curious people out there.

Walmart

Target also has a release date set, but theirs is set for January 8th, 2006.

Target

The game is currently only being sold for PC, so all of you PlayStation 3 fan boys out there will have to continue to wait. With the incredible success of Unreal Tournament 2004, I would suggest preordering your copy now. I have personally played Unreal Tournament 2004 and would recommend buying Unreal Tournament 2007 to anyone that drools over a great first person shooter. Pre-ordering it doesn't spit out any errors, so it seems legit.

Not every antivirus software is as good as it claims to be. When using wireless internet with services like startlogic or even bluehost, make sure that you are talking across an antivirus firewall software. Usually zone alarm is used and is the best option too.

      Erm, are you being a bit silly here - that date is 01/05/07. Now, being an American site, that date translates to 1st May 2007 - AND NOT 5th Jan 2007!!! If you were to go to a UK website you’ll find that the date is actually 1st May.

      Check your facts dude!!!

      Erm… I suggest you check your own facts, Plonker:

      en.wikiped..._the_month

      Anthony had the date right. If you click on the “See esitmated arrival date” link DIRECTLY under the date, you’ll see it says in plain text “Wed, Jan 10 – Fri, Jan 12″ estimated arrival date using Standard Shipping.

      Try again.

      All websites including Wikipedia say it’s going to be released in Q1 of 2007. There was no other information on it, so I figured this might be accurate. Maybe there will be a demo soon.

      If you check Amazon.com - the american site, it says UT2K7 will be available March 31, 2007. Because Epic doesnt seem to have anything updated on their site about it, and there’s nothing on the official UT site, I would say this is still speculation. Methinks it might end up the “Chinese Democracy” of games.

    • 14. _Lynx  |  January 2nd, 2007 @ 2:23 AM |  Add karma Subtract karma  +1

      Now Epic said that first, the UT2007 demo will be released at least month before the actual game release. Do we have demo? No. Remember the buzz around Gears of War? I don’t think Epic won’t advertise the game and’ll at least add some content to http://ut2007.com/ No ads, Site’s still only a splash page, so January 5th? Absolutely not likely.

      And as it is said in this thread: utforums.e...p?t=558281

      “There has been no released date announced for UT2007 by Epic. When there is a release date, you will see it here first. It is planned to be released for the PC and PS3 Console. There are no plans for it to be released for any other console at this time.”

    • 15. Beaker75  |  January 2nd, 2007 @ 4:31 AM |  Add karma Subtract karma  +1

      gamestop.com has the release date as:
      June, 1 2007.

      I don’t think that the Jan, 5 2007 date is correct (I believe this is actually and old date), because I havn’t seen anything about it going gold. Until UT2007 is reported as having gone gold I would treat any date as guess by buy the retailer.

      Actually if you go to Walmart.com, it says you can order it now… and it will arrive at your house on Jan 8.

      I posted a blog about it. Thanks Cyber-knowlege for this info.

      The new game “Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six: Vegas” uses the UT2007 engine. It was released 12 Dec.

      This suggests that engine is done, and they are merely finishing maps and testing before releasing UT2007.

      It could also mean that UBI got a deal on the engine by volunteering their users to beta-test the software, since it has more than a few bugs, some of them crashes.

      Modern ‘fastest’ hardware is required for decent framerates on Vegas unless you like playing at 640×480 using ‘minimum’ hardware.

      I can tell you that the only thing you’ll get on Jan 8 is apologize from Walmart that they can’t deliver you one, because their point-blank guess failed. None of the dates can be treated as true until Epic will roll out the demo. Trusting to all those e-shops is the last thing I’d ever do. I guess Epics are quite surprised to know that they’re sent game the to gold already.

      Just my $0.02, and this is not meant to start a flame war, but I think that us PC gamers should not have to suffer just because the PS3 development is going slow. I say release the PC version now, if it is ready, and let the PS3 gamers drool over our shoulders while they wait. It still amazes me that the new Unreal Engine has now won an award 3 years in a row, as stated on Epic’s website. Come on Epic, I want to try out the new, sorry old, engine.

    • 20. ribfeast  |  January 3rd, 2007 @ 1:13 AM |  Add karma Subtract karma  +1

      Umm.. I think there would be information about this on Epic Games or any of the publishers of UT2k7 before Walmart would release the date.

      The same thing has happened in the past where Amazon listed the World of Warcraft Beta being available much earlier than it ended up being released by Blizzard. Why believe Walmart?

      Oh shut your hole. elitest ass. first off, i garentee when he said supirior, he was refering to it in contrast to xbox and wii. if someone wants to get it for ps3, then thats fine, and jesus titlicking christ, stop comparing consoles to pc’s. console = games only, no need to upgrade for every new game that comes out (in otherwords for some of you hardheads out there - easier for…. gamers.). pc = multitasking machine built as much for workstations (non-gaming buisness, etc. yeah, i know its a fuckin system shock to some people that pc’s are used for stuff other than gaming.) as for gaming. both are good for games, and no one gives a fuck if you spent daddy’s money on the latest $600 ubertech every 6 months to get teh omgzlolz FPS in your favorite game.

      Bob is right!!!!!! Excellent comment!!
      So Boys lets upgrade our machines an play UT2007 as well, cause this game will require an extreme powerful machine and VIDEOCARD. I’ve got a Geforce 7900 GTX SLI and I know it’s a very old videocard. I will need a 8800 GTX to play it with an acceptable fps speed :((((

      I’ve finally found a MINIMUM system REQUIREMENTS for upcoming UT2007 (pc), but of course to play it on a high resolution (1280×1024) and with all textures set to MAX. you’ll need at least an Intel core extreme equipped with a double Geforce 8800 GTX (SLI).

      Wrong! Those specs are like last year or earlier. And according to HMV UK, the release date is January 26th 2007. I preordered from them in September so let’s hope for the best.

      UT2007 CAN run on a 6200TC. If you can run HL2, you can run UT2007. It will be able to take advantage of both Dual-cores (and quad cores) as well as PhysX PPU’s. But, if you want settings at max at a ‘decent’ res (ok, 1024×768 or above if you know what i mean), you need a 7600GT or better. Of course you need the rest of the system as well so an AMD X2 or Intel C2D, a gig of ram, etc. But you don’t need an IntelEE or SLI 8800’s. That’s complete bullspit. I repeat, you DO NOT NEED an Intel Extreme Edition or 8800(s) to run it at a decent res (i mean at 1280×1024 this time).

      I run UT04 @ 800*600 and it works fine for me. Currently I have an x1400 Radeon video card with a Core Duo Processor, and a gig of ram. Think that’ll be enough for 07?

    • 29. DJKahuna  |  January 17th, 2007 @ 2:25 PM |  Add karma Subtract karma  +5

      X1400? never even heard of it. I know of the X1300, the X1600, the X1800 and the X1900 but no X1400. You need either a 7600GT or an X1600XT to run at decent settings. And core 2 duo is always gonna be good for gaming, it’s just not essential. A gig of ram seems pretty average for games but it’s gonna become the minimum. I know that when i can afford to, i’m getting rid of these 2×512mb sticks and getting 2×1Gb sticks. But you don’t need a like uberleet souped up rig just to play. Only 9 days to go (if HMV are to be believed).

      Unreal 2k7 looks like just another UT (Not that that’s a bad thing) with necris overtones, super sweet eye candy and the huge Onslaught maps. While I’m certainty looking at buying it when it comes out, I reckon it’s going to be too much like the pervious tourneys.
      But as for the release date, you’ve got to remember that tons of people are still hocked on Gears of War, so epic may not release UT2k7 until the hypes gone off that for profit reasons.

      Hello all. I am not sure what the fuss is about console vs pc. I happen to like both, even though I haven’t bought a console since the first ps. Speaking of pc users having to upgrade everytime a new game comes out. Why is it then that I have to throw away my ps and get a ps3 to play ut2007 for console? At least with a pc I don’t have to throw the whole machine in the trash. Besides, us pc gamers just use the new games as an excuse to upgrade our systems. We know we don’t actually have to upgrade our systems in order to play them. I guess my point is we can aruge console vs pc until we’re all blue in the face. For that matter, we should also be argueing monitor vs tv… No match there.

      Oh and Bob, I think you could have gotten your point off without all the extra language. You don’t see anyone else in here acting like that. It just makes you sound immature.

      Peace

      Bob is right and was always right!!!!
      I think UT2007 (when released) will run on any videocard except those unsupporting Shader Model 3.0 of course (like in rainbow six Vegas), but unfortunately the problem seems to be another: I’m sure we’ll have to upgrade our videocards to Geforce 8800 GTX to play it on medium quality settings and of course there isn’t a videocard yet to let us play this title on maximum quality and good performance. Another problem is Ageia’s physX engine which isn’t implemented yet on Geforce 8800 GTX and that meens you have to buy AGEIA’s PhysX card to play ut2007 in all it’s glory.
      I think Epic will do everythink to run the game on weak videocards (by this way looking at minimum system requirements you will all buy the game, but you will all be very dissapointed with its performance)
      Sad news boys :(

    • 34. DJKahuna  |  January 19th, 2007 @ 4:35 PM |  Add karma Subtract karma  +5

      aCruceSalus is completely right. Us PC gamers don’t have to upgrade our rigs, we choose to. When you consider the price of the PS3, and then compare a gaming PC, and then compare what each can do, the PC is just the better choice. Last January, when PC component prices were still quite high, i managed to get my whole PC for £450 (built it myself). Then a few months later, i added a new graphics card, another £100. Recently, i added a dual-core CPU, another £150. So far, that’s £700. But my PC can run almost any current game and is set for the next onslaught of DX9 games or games that have a DX9 mode. Then if you compare the PS3, it’s price and what it can do (when it finally arrives in the UK), there’s just no competition. The PC wins plain and simple. Can you get game mods that are easy to install for the PS3? I don’t think so. Can you get them for PC? Yes, and you can even make your own. Can you upgrade a PS3? No! Can you upgrade a PC? Hell yes! Can you optimise your settings on a PS3, such as memory and CPU settings? Nope. Can you do that on a PC? Yes. Can a PC be faster than the PS3? Yes, by 10x in some cases. So, who wins, PC or PS3?

      Well what do you think?

      As for UT2007, you can probably run it on an x1300, although it might not be pretty (i mean 800×600 which is a very low res IMHO, with average settings), it will run. You can run it on a single-core CPU, it’ll just perform better on a dual or quad-core CPU. You can probably run it with just 512mb of RAM, but that’ll be the minimum i bet (what i meant by a gig before is for games like Crysis and those that *need* the extra boost). Think of it like Quake 4, most systems can run in high mode, but only a few can run in ultra mode (even though the only difference is that in ultra, the textures and lightmaps aren’t compressed so it loads faster). Obviously, if you have like an 8800GTX, a dual-core and all the rest, obviously you’ll be able to run it at like OMGFTWROFLMAO FPS and mega high res with max settings. But if you just wanna be able to play it at decent settings (such as 1152×768, 4xaa, bloom, medium-high mix of settings), then you don’t need to go out and spend like £500+ on a new CPU and graphics card.

      Things like this have happened before; people wondering ‘will my rig run it’ before a game came out. Remember what it was like in the run up to Doom 3? How everyone was going crazy that they’d have to upgrade to the highest end graphics card and CPU’s they could get just to play at medium, when in actual fact, that wasn’t the case at all. This is just one of the latest ones. You have to remember that the team behind UT2007 have a lot of experience in this area, and as such, they optimise it as best they can for the most amount of different PC configurations they can. There’s some machines that won’t run it (Dell machines ;) ), then there’s those that will (custom-built). The PC gaming world is one where you have to spend money to get the best, but you can half that if you’re just a casual gamer (or one of the ‘overdoers’ like me that optimises their system every other week ;) ). I certainly don’t intend to go out and upgrade my graphics card or CPU just to play it. I may upgrade my RAM but that’s my personal choice since i really want more, but you don’t have to.

      Well, i think i’ve talked it up enough. In summary, PC > PS3, UT2007 will run on the low-average gamer rig, and UT2007 > any current game out there. And Oh yeah, one last thing, SuperBOSS and The Bob, no need to use 2 different usernames, no need to be like “we’re gonna have to upgrade to FTW hardware” and then like “oooooh, lemme pimp my rig EVERYWHERE cos i think i’m so kewl”. Anyway, Peace out people.

      Oh yeah, one addition to what i said. If there isn’t a graphics card out there that can run it on max, how are they making all these videos? Why would they promote a title on medium quality? I don’t know of a single company out there that promotes games that are running at medium quality. It just means possible financial loss. Running it on max settings is kinda like free promotion.

      It’s a fact that Epic and Midway (the people behind it) are 2 of the few companies that don’t use custom made graphics cards, for the simple reason that they don’t want to “deceive” people waching it who could be potential buyers.

      SuperBoss is right!
      UT2007 won’t run on maximum quality even on double geforce 8800 GTX SLI and best configuration ever made, because all these videos are made on low resolution (800×600) and that’s why it seems so good on those trailers. I’ve red on a website that UT2007’s engine will be much HARDer and improuved then in Rainbow six Vegas (i think 5 times harder then in Vegas). So boys lets wait this game with maximum tranquility and look for better card then 8800GTX. I hove ATi will release something better and much faster then 8800 GTX…

    • 37. FanatiC  |  January 22nd, 2007 @ 12:25 PM |  Add karma Subtract karma  +0

      Faster than 8800 GTX SLI? that will be insane but hard to believe lo xD.
      But if you have 8800 GTX SLI which is enough to play Crysis really well then you will have more than enough to play UT 2K7 :P. or not?
      Isn’t the Crytek engine better than Unreal Engine3? I like how it looks crysis, is rally amazing, but im a big fun of Unreals xD.

    • 38. DJKahuna  |  January 25th, 2007 @ 5:42 PM |  Add karma Subtract karma  +0

      Jeez, not listening again! YOU DO NOT NEED SLI 8800GTX TO RUN ON ALMOST MAX! You might need one to run on max, but not 2 in SLI to run it. I suppose you also believe the toothfairy is real and that santa actually dropped down your chimney.

      And Crysis, well that’s another story. Just the other day, the CEO of Crytek said it will run on mid-high DX9 hardware that is 2-3 years old. Just check IGN for the interview video.

      The video’s haven’t been made at 800×600, there’s too much detail in them for it to be 800×600. Plus they’re HD1080p which means they’re at least 1920×1080. And like i said, these will be at maximum settings, because they never promote games at medium quality. It doesn’t make sense. So by saying that “you are gonna need an SLI 8800GTX bcos it pwnzors” is basically showing how stupid you really are. And there’s no such thing as the “best combination ever made”, by saying that, you’re showing how little you know about the architecture behind the chips themselves. There are so many different combinations that could be classed as “the best ever”. An Opteron X2 with 2gig of ram and an x1900XTX could be classed as the best ever. Then again, a C2D 6800 with 2gig of ram and an x1800XTX could be classed as the best ever by someone else.

      And 3 different usernames to say the same thing. Jeez, how stupid can you get…

      I think you do NOT UNDERSTAND ME!!!!!!
      I want to play Unreal Tournament 2007 on MAX settings, I mean with ANTI-ALIASING 16X activated 1600×1200 and have at least 40-45 fps (frames per second) which is acceptable to play it (and of course with all textures on max) - THIS MEANS FOR ME MAXIMUM QUALITY!!!!!
      Now I only Have a Geforce 7900 GTX SLI - and know it won’t be enough to play this game even on 800×600 with all these settings!
      NOW, have you understood???????????????????????

      ahh, and one more thing…
      a single Geforce 8800 GTX will NEVER RUN UT2007 with 40-45 FPS on all these settings activated:
      ANTI-ALIASING 16X
      1600×1200
      All details set to MAXIMUM

      I repeat it won’t run the game on 40-45 FRAMES PER SECOND!!!!

      hmm.. aa 16x, all details set to max… sounds like you will be sight seeing most of the time.
      you’ll be a very easy target…

      I agree with “what”. If you want to be good online, you’re not going to “stop to smell the flowers”. I use to want maximum settings on everything, but that is not practical for online gaming, and UT is an online game. Sure it will be fun to max out the settings in single player mode and see what the new engine can do, but I have found that people with an average card sometimes have an advantage over us with “superior” video cards. In order to improve their FPS, they turn off special effects like weather and reduce their color resolution… Which makes it easier to detect that slight change in textures possibly revealing hidden areas on the map.

      Just an FYI here are my specs:
      ASUS A8N-SLI Premium/Athlon 64 4400+ x2/OCZ 2×1GB DDR400
      2-BFG GeForce 7800GT OC/Maxtor SATA 300GB 7200rpm 16MB cache
      X-Fi Xtreme/Zboard Fang/MX1000

      I have almost everything maxed out including fog distance and max screen resolution, but I have the aa turned off and I get around 80-90 FPS online. Of course this depend on how well the map is optimized for performace. So I don’t know what else you have running on your machine in the background that is hogging up all the cpu cycles. If you like, I can try running it not in SLI mode with everything maxed out and report my findings. I will not be able to run it at 1600×1200 resolution as I have a dell 20″ wide screen with a max resolution of 1680 x 1050, but it should be close enough.
      Peace.

      Agree that Max settings and max settings are quite different depending on player and/or usage.

      I gather nobody got a copy of UT2007 due to the missing posts. So May 2007 is still just a retailer guess, or?

      So… tell me again why you guys are fighting over how well what hardware will be able to run a game that’s not out yet and probably not even finished?

      Why would you want 16x antialiasing? You almost can’t tell the difference when it’s blown up to 10x normal size so unless you have a 30″ screen at that resolution you’re just wasting processing power.

      Considering it’s running on the Unreal 3 Engine it will probably require even more power than dual 8800gtx’s to max out but that’s just how it is with new engines. Only way to know for sure is to wait and find out, yelling what you think at each other doesn’t solve anything.

      Btw, Vegas runs on the exact same engine so I don’t know where you randomly got the “5 times harder than in vegas” idea, it may be affected by what the engine is displaying but that still doesn’t make your comment make any sense.

      Quote from beyondunreal “Published by Midway Games, UT3 is powered by Epic’s new Unreal Engine 3, and is due to be released on PC and PlayStation 3 in the second quarter (April-June) of 2007.”

    • 45. consider this  |  February 6th, 2007 @ 8:36 PM |  Add karma Subtract karma  +1

      Consider that the unreal engine supports more features than are implemented in a single game. For example–stencle shadowing vs. volume shadowing.

      It would only point out the simplicity of your understanding to claim UT2007 performance figures based on other games utilizing the Unreal Engine 3. Furthermore–and similarly to Half-Life 2–Unreal Tournament 2007 will scale to many hardware configurations. Some will undoutably outdo even the powerhouse ps3, others will run reduced resolution (screen and texture)–probably with reduced complexity to the lighting and shadowing.

      Ultimately it can be assumed that if you are not running a powerfull computer (geforece 7 series or higher — dual core cpu — 1-2 GB ram), you will not have the same eye candy options without a performance handicap.

      Bottom line. PC /= console. A console is simply a customized computer that is never more powerfull than tecnology permits, and cannot be upgraded as technology advances. If you feel that a console is the more ideal solution for yourself, don’t critisize it’s roots. And all you hardcore PC enthusiasts–Not everyone enjoys the freedom, flexibility, expandability and functionality–within and beyond gaming–that a PC offers. Some people would rather have an affordable hastle-free gaming experience that doesn’t require any higher level thinking (and I think we can agree that is what gaming is really all about).

      And in short…Cant we all just get along?

      If its any consolation to you guys, I pre-ordered UT2007 back in October 2005 when I first saw it was being done….

      I was told back then that its release date was sept 06… Imagine how chuffed I was that I only had to wait a year.

      The last couple of months were hell.
      The last couple of weeks were unbearable
      The last few days were like being married
      They came and they went but no disk?
      I checked up on the site and it had been put back to march, and then may???

      AAARRRRGGGGHHHHH!!!!

      Trust me lads… Ive been waiting over a year , closer to 2 by the time it comes.

      You have it easy!

      This brings up a fundemental fuck up in all dating … how bout we call it may 01 2007… i cant believe that all computer systems around the world cannot understand that may = 05 month… wtf is up with this shit 05/01/07… 01/05/07… fuck it… its may 05 2007

      In US, the IDTF is MM/DD/YYYY
      In UK, the IDTF is DD/MM/YYYY

      Obviously it needs to be pointed out, that DD is the day, MM is the Month, and YYYY is the year

      However, any PC can set this to any format you desire… I have seen is setup as YYYY/MM/DD even FFS!

      All it takes it a small ammount of common sense to realise the date of any number no matter what country the website is in and what country you are looking at it from.

      Hi Boys! I’m waiting for Unreal tournament 2007 but some says that there will be unreal tournament 3 ???? that’s another game or what?

      No, it’s the same game. Instead of UT07, it’s going to be called U3.

    • 51. FanatiC  |  April 3rd, 2007 @ 8:58 PM |  Add karma Subtract karma  +0

      come on be patient people hehe UT2K7 will came out soon hehe why dont buy crysis while u are waiting for UT2K7 ah, and what about running UT2K7 on a Intel Quad Core hehe UT will run like butter there hehe of course with also good graphic card and stuff…

    • 52. DJKahuna  |  April 4th, 2007 @ 11:25 AM |  Add karma Subtract karma  +0

      Yeah, UT2007 got renamed to UT3 because it wasn’t really a 2007 release as they’d promised.

      And Crysis isn’t out yet, when it is, i’ll be getting it for sure. I don’t want it to run like butter; it’ll fry my computer and make it smell like popcorn. ;D

      just stop fighting about what the min. specs are gonna be and just sit backgrab a beer and do something else other then yelling at each other like 2 pissed of nerds in a slap fight over D&D

    • 54. FatRakoon  |  April 28th, 2007 @ 10:03 AM |  Add karma Subtract karma  +0

      End of the day, UT2K3/4 ran fine on surprisingly humble low end systems, even an MX440 is capable of running the game just fine… Yes, low end settings I know, but it does it.

      It will be the same with this game.

      Its the same with every game. Its always the same with every game…. End of the day, if you can play games on your PC, then you will be able to play the next gen games no matter what.

      The only limit you iwll have, is whether you can keep your 1600×1200 FSAA/AS and still have 500FPS!!!

    • 55. paulandmandy  |  April 30th, 2007 @ 12:47 PM |  Add karma Subtract karma  +0

      Wadda buncha crap:

      May 01 2007 = 01 May 2007 = 2007 May 01 = 01 2007 May = 2007 01 May = 01 May 20007

      But 05/07/01 05/01/07 01/05/07 01/07/05 07/01/05 07/05/01 are all different.

      wal-mart now has the ship date at 8/17/2007
      Thats August 17, 2007 in case anyone is wondering

    • 57. aCruceSalus  |  July 17th, 2007 @ 2:07 PM |  Add karma Subtract karma  +0

      It has been a while since anyone has posted anything in here, so I thought I would spark up the conversation again. EBgames is showing release date of November 1st. While Amazon is showing November 15th. Where would be the best place to get your preorder in? I am just curious as to who thinks they will get theirs first. LOL
      Peace,
