Holy shit....The demo looks better than a lot of console games......amazing.

And it runs at a higher resolution than some games on the 360 too.

 

[Peterthumpa]

And to think that I bought an iPad just for gaming... thanks for making me not regret it CliffyB :lol

 

[Zomba13]

Wow that looks really impressive.
I really want to get an ipod touch or an iphone but I keep waiting for the newest one to come down in price and then they release a new one that's better ;_;

 

[UnluckyKate]

Achievement or burst.

(Hopefully, RAGE will get a similar treatment)

 

[brain_stew]

I took a screenshot.

Nice, it must look insanely good on the Iphone 4's super high DPI screen.

Edit: Its ridiculous how many of the UE3 effects they've managed to retain. The majority of the good stuff is all still there. Incredible!

 

[dream]

The lighting in this is pretty amazing.

 

[StuBurns]

It's pretty incredible in motion yeah. Looks considerably better than Oblivion on the consoles which I'd say was it's closest stylistic cousin for comparison.

 

[Olivero]

Wow. It's amazing that Apple's portable hardware runs games as good if not better than their actual computers, and this is coming from a pretty hardcore Apple fanboy.

 

[subversus]

lol 3 years more and mobile devices will supress consoles in visuals department.

It does! My old iphone couldn't run it, but my friend just lemme try it on an iphone 4 needless to say it was an instant sell for me on an iphone 4 HAven't been that blown away by something graphically in awhile.

 

[brain_stew]

The lighting in this is pretty amazing.

Definitely seems to be using lightmass judging by these shots. Which means the baked lighting is actually better than in the vast majority of console UE3 games!

Baking in high quality GI is such a perfect fit for a platform like the Iphone.

 

[golem]

Nice..

 

[Peterthumpa]

Holy Jesus.

I just can't... believe that my iPad is capable of doing this.
Some framerate dips here and there but... better looking than most of all the games from the PS2/Xbox gen and also from a lot of Arcade and PSN titles.

Simply stunning, you guys are freakin' gods.

I thought lightmass was there from the beginning. I actually went through video lessons on UE3 dated 2008 or 2009 and it was there.

 

[brain_stew]

I guess those that still doubted whether the iPhone could produce better graphics than the PSP will be avoiding this thread! :lol

 

[TUSR]

Holy shit....The demo looks better than a lot of console games......amazing.

was just thinking this, where you cross the little dirt path towards all those tents, there is a bit of slow down. but my god, the scope of the game and distance it is rendering is unreal

edit: and its not even that bad on my 3GS in terms of speed and battery performance

 

[cws]

So iPhone4/new iPod touch are more powerful than the 3DS ?

 

[ILikeFeet]

the texturing is amazing. gods must work at Epic

does this work on ipod touch 3G?

 

[Neuromancer]

This is amazing (playing on a 3GS), absolutely amazing.

 

[Peterthumpa]

On a side note... the virtual analogs sucks

Spoiler

j/k

:lol

The lacks of jaggies is disturbing me. Jaggies are my little personnal thing that makes gaming on the PSP so unique.

Nah, it was added in 2009 I think before that you had to spam a bunch of local lights all over your maps? I don't know of any released third party console titles that use it yet. Some use Beast instead (like Mirror's Edge) which produces simialr results. It was in UDK from launch though.

 

[Peterthumpa]

Indeed. :lol

 

[Cow Mengde]

Sold!

 

[Guevara]

Wonder how it will control

 

[dream]

Lost in all the jizzing over the visuals is how well controls work in this engine.

Both tap-to-move and dual analog feel way better in this tech demo than in any other FPS game I've tried on the iPhone. The precision is almost comparable to that of physical analog sticks.

doesnt work on girlfriends 3G iphone...

also, you dont have to have your fingers on the sticks, it just has to be on the right and left side of the screen and it tracks where it goes from that spot you touch down originally.

I like the tap to move better, it's especially neat how you can turn your head as you're walking. I wish there was some way to disappear the circles for the analog controls.

 

[brain_stew]

Someone get a direct feed video up on Youtube HD stat!

I want to see it in motion!

 

[Neuromancer]

It looks 100x better than Risen on the 360. :lol

 

[derFeef]

I agree. Tap-to-move and looking around while crossing that bridge is great.
Hm, now I want an Elder Scrolls game for my iPhone :lol

This.

 

[Peterthumpa]

Can anyone tell me if there's AA applied when running it on iPhone 4?
The iPad should be able to do it too, but I think that AA is only possible with iOS4.

 

[TUSR]

Can't the A4 chip before it is underclocked run at about the same performance and speed of a netbook?

 

[Stumpokapow]

(Hopefully, RAGE will get a similar treatment)

it has achievements

 

[ILikeFeet]

doesnt work on girlfriends 3G iphone...

I guess I'll just admire the pictures then.

Requirements:Compatible with iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPod touch (3rd generation), and iPad. Requires iPhone OS 3.1.0 or later.

If you read the link in the OP.

 

[sixteen-bit]

tech demo looks so damn good on a retina display, goddamn

 

[qwerty2k]

on the iPhone 4 screen it really is a nerdgasm, just looks ridiculously good with uber sharp textures.

 

[Mik2121]

Hey Cliffy, any chance of "export to iOS" or an iOS alternative of UDK? I will guess most likely not, or at least not any time soon, but it would be very nice. It would remind me of the days of UT99 mapping, making maps just with bsp's and dragging / scaling / rotating the textures around them :lol

 

[Peterthumpa]

Can't the A4 chip before it is underclocked run at about the same performance and speed of a netbook?

This isn't only about processor speed I believe... there should be a lot of effects based on OpenGL 2.0 that wouldn't run (or would barely run) in the average John Doe's netbook.

that I didn't. but I went to the app store and saw that it was 82 MB. I said no thank you. I am very conservative about the space

 

[raviolico]

holy god. what's even more amazing than the tech is the fact that i can dload (part of) this thing a blink after it was teased at the presentation.
remember those times when you walked months through forums like this only to spy some tiny screens/news for cool, upcoming releases that seemed 11.000 years away?
no it´s instant mind melting. :lol

i mean, imagine to download the Bioshock Infinity demo playtrough in interactive form seconds after Levine presented it.



to quote old Steve: it´s amazing, isn´t it?

 

[UnluckyKate]

it has achievements

I really hope all games will have a centralized achievement center, similar to what Open Feint is already doing.

 

[Peterthumpa]

Oh, and also... better grass and trees than Mafia II on PS3 confirmed :lol

Spoiler

j/k again, so excited

 

[ColeTheMole]

i wonder what framerate its going to be.

its on,Epic games vs ID

 

[Struct09]

Loaded up the tech demo on my iPhone 4. The framerate was a little choppy. I started to run around, the analog sticks got stuck, and then my phone crashed

It was pretty though!

EDIT: Loaded it back up after the phone rebooted, and the framerate is better. No freezing/crashing this time either
