Developer president Mike Capps joins senior producer Mike Morris to discuss the woes of releasing a shooter during the "FPS Christmas of All Time."
Epic, it didn't help that you released into a crowded field, but the central fact was that your game was not nearly as fun as the competition, not when it came out. Orange Box, BioShock, and Crysis did not have sales troubles. In fact, I own a copy of all of those titles, but I don't own a copy of UT3...because it's not very fun. I own a copy of every other Unreal title (even that abysmal abortion Unreal 2, which was NOT a proper sequel to one of the best shooters ever released), but not this one. No magic = no money.
