Could you imagine exploring Rapture or scoring multi-kills in an iPhone game?

I expected the video to be a demo of what the article was talking about.

It's an AT&T ad?

 

[randerson]

wrong video. They need a video edit button

 

[kyeana]

Epic also said that it will be demonstrating the Unreal Engine on another mobile platform at CES, so stay tuned!

Can i hear an Android? Hopefully?

 

[randerson]

wrong video

Ok so my question is why is there a AT&T ad in this article when that has nothing to do with it..

 

[Guest]

For a moment I thought youtube was using ads in their video's...
What a lame article, AT&T sucks anyways!

Well, Soldier37, since you asked so nicely:

I guess the postcards symbolize whatever is left of Luke Wilson's career, as he throws it away...

(though frankly I couldn't care less about AT&T as I don't live in the US)

if it will run on the iphone, then it will run on the palm pre. they run on the same hardware under the shiny cases.

LOL I have to join many others by saying I can't believe how many video links have been bad lately.

 

[Abrahm]

I'd rather see it on Android. Wonder if that is in the future?

 

[fonzy]

I imagine the next iphone due out next year will have better hardware and be able to run it pretty smooth.

As for at&t I hope Verizon carries the iphone by then.

 

[scurvywombat]

Controls look similar to the COD Zombies that's out for Iphone.

 

[rambo117]

Well, the video was pretty Epic fail

 

[griffed88]

I hope the new platform they show the unreal engine on is the psp. If the ipod touch can do then the psp should definitely be able to

the droid has the same setup as the iPhone apparently, should be easy to put it on that. if its got a c++ api...

Surely it would take decades to port a whole engine to java? not to mention all the game developers would die a bit inside.

doesn't it use some sort of web api? like java script or something? I'm sure game devs would quit before trying to port to that...

FPS on a phone - fail, no interest whatsoever.

 

[darkknight22]

Anyone surprised? You shouldn't be. I don't know how you can possibly make a post and not even glance at it once to make sure it was done correctly. You don't even have to read it, just look at the video screen cap and you can clearly see that it doesn't jive with what you just wrote.

I mean honestly, this is your job here, do you not care?

 

[ViPr]

putting games on a system which shuns a decent control system is sacrilege to gaming. this has just reinforced my boycott on Epic.

 

[SchizoFrog]

Doesn't this just prove that the engine was lame to start with and was never fully developed for decent hardware even for the time? I mean come on, a mobile phone is supposed to have the same power as a gaming PC thats a few years old? Even at lower resolutions that doesn't stand up.
The so called death of PC gaming isn't anything to do with piracy, just look at the success of WoW and Steam... No it is developers who produce mediocre releases because they are too busy trying to just cash in rather than concentrate on quality.
