Unreal Engine 3 Loves the iPhone 3GS
0
AnandTech has reported that Epic Games has ported their Unreal Engine 3 game engine, the same one that runs games like Gears of Wars 2, over to the iPhone 3GS and third generation iPod Touch. At first you might think, "I bet its laggy and crap", but as you'll see in the demonstration, its actually pretty damn impressive.
It's quite demanding graphics-ise, and requires OpenGL ES 2.0, so the iPhone 2G and 3G won’t work, nor will the iPod Touch 1G and 2G models. This is totally understandable though.
Check out the Demo video below and be impressed.
Looking back to the amount of people who laughed when Apple announced the iPod touch to be a gaming console, look who's going to be laughing soon enough. :P

The demo is both playable and has a flythrough. It’s using a modified Unreal Tournament level previously shown off at GDC. A virtual thumbstick on the left side of the screen controls your movement, while tracking your thumb in the lower right corner of the screen controls the camera. Just tap the screen to shoot. Mark said this is a tech test bed and they’re experimenting with several different control schemes including ones with tilt...

Its ok and if it is anything like natzi zombies it would hard to controll since the D-pad is the touch screen

It's definately an interesting development.
But I doubt people will pay that sort of money for a games console when they can pick up a cheap PSP or NDS which both share a huge number of games.
Anyway that video doesn't tell me how well the ipod will perform when there's more than one enemy on screen and the map is just a one room map not a multi-level map like a normal game.
Also how will the games effect my battery life?
Never the less it would be great to have if you're bored with music.

I don't think anyone pays money to buy an iTouch or iPhone just to play games, so that's not much of a worry.
Indeed it doesn't. We have to wait and see.
The Battery Life will probably be the same as video playback, based on my experiences with current 3D games. 5~6 hours ish.

Still waiting for the phoenix wright remakes on the iphone. I tend to avoid fps's on it though because of the huge strain on the battery
