Unreal Engine 3 running on iPhone

Epic shows tech up and running on Apple platforms
Gears Of War developer Epic has been showing off its iPhone version of the Unreal Engine 3, though it says it's not announcing any games for the platform just yet.

Epic boss Mark Rein has been showcasing an Unreal Engine 3 tech demo running on a third generation iPod Touch. It's the same Unreal Engine 3 that powers Gears of War 2. Rein says it'll be seen running on another mobile platform at CES next year.

"The demo is both playable and has a flythrough," says AnandTech. "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."

And here it is running:

Looks even more awkward than moving the camera with the shoulder buttons in the PSP...

It will probably feel tedious having to constantly slide the finger across the screen and having to reset the thumb to the corners to keep moving the character and camera...

The control scheme is the key and I'm not sure that the iPhone has a happy solution for FPS. Duke3d is ruined by the control scheme on the iPhone.

However, if the U3 engine is used for non-fps games then things could be interesting.

Check out Nova. Admittedly a shameless Halo clone but it's amazing (and the controls are great).

Nova (app store link)

Well the URL worked in preview :*)

Search on iTunes for Nova.

The iPhone is one thing but I don't think they can downgrade it THAT far...

The juice they're squeezing out of the iPhone makes me feel very happy about my upgrade decision.
