Computer and Video Games has posted a new interview with Epic Games' Mark Rein. The Q&A covers a range of topics including Unreal Tournament 3, the gaming industry, and what's next for Epic.

The latest entry in the Unreal Tournament first person shooter series, the game features the fast paced multiplayer action fans of the series have come to expect as well as a campaign mode for those who prefer to frag the enemy in a single player environment.

We remember seeing UT III at an E3 show years ago. You must be pretty damn relieved to finally get it out the door?
Rein: (laughs) Well it's a labour of love so you take your time and do it right. That's the only way to ship games these days. The users demand so much out of games; they really want a great gameplay experience, everything to work well, they want it to be fast - and especially with UT.

Our players have such a clear idea; they want a weapon to work like this, and the firing rate like this and the flak cannon to do this much damage. They have very clear ideas of how they want everything and it's up to us to get it right, do a good job and make the right decisions.

It just takes time. Plus there's a lot of content in this game; there's something like over 40 maps. It's insane how much is actually in this game; we have two complete sets of vehicles now, we have new weapons and most of the levels are completely new designs. It just takes time to put that all together.
The Mac version of UT 3 is still in progress. Head over to the site below to read the rest of the article.

Midway has announced that the PC version of Unreal Tournament III has started shipping. I guess it's just a matter of time before the Mac version comes out... how much time? who knows...

Not just shipping - it's on sale since last monday. Concerning the Mac (and Linux) version: Ryan Gordon seems to be hard at work. His webpage is updated even more tersely than usual.

There appears to be a typo.  It says Computer and Video Games: SC II Preview, not UT3 Preview.
