Epic games' Project Sword.

I posted it in chat thread and then thought it deserved a new thread.
A new game on Unreal 3 engine is being developed… for a handy and a pad.

And a demo is already out:

That’s pretty fucking remarkable. I think it marks a new milestone for mobile devices.

tries out the demo right now

edit: Ok, tried it out on my iPod touch 3G. I must say, it blew my mind.

It really looks fantastic. The performance only goes down if you go outside and you look completely at the fortress. It also looks a little bit like cel-shading.

Now, let’s see what happens…

#3

Well, I didn’t even expect it to run on 3g.
I thought it was strictly for iOS4 :freeman:

#4

That’s looking amazing, but I keep thinking…

#5

3G =/= iOS 4

iOS is the operating system, running on almost all i-devices

3G meaning Ipod Touch 3rd gen, which besides the iPhone 4 is the only device capable of running this

Also tried it on my ipod 3g, im quite frankly amazed.

#6

It looks awesome, but I wonder how good the games can be. The controls are a touch limited. I’m gonna wait this one out before I get excited, as a do for everything else.

#7

This for PC?

#8

I thought the touch limitation would be severe too, but navigating on the itouch was an eaze. I can’t really describe how it works, you just kind of have to see for yourself in a video or something

#9

Though I must admit it looks relatively interesting, this still won’t persuade me to buy an iPhone.

#10

It looks like it has promise, but I have nothing that can run it.

IMO, Chair Entertainment should stop developing this, and start developing Shadow Complex 2.

#11

Perhaps it works for simple navigation, but I’m thinking more of open combat, multiple weapons, and the like. Its definitely more limiting than a console controller.

#12

That’s without a doubt. With the control system they implemented though it should be fairly simple to move, turn and fire simultaneously with relative ease, but I guess we won’t know until the actual game is released and we can field-test it.

Personally, I’m much more interested in the games that will come after this. The engine performance and appearance is what I really like.

#13

Honestly, it’s only good on the iPhone 4, and it fucking blows my mind.

#14

Runs great on the iPad too.

I came.

#15

I know what you mean… in 1 or 2 years, 11 year old kids will ask their parents to buy them an iphone just to show their friends how awesome it looks… :aah::aah:

#16

Runs amazingly well with no visible lag or FPS-drops on my third gen iPod Touch.

#17

But it does not get a retina display.

Well, I thought you guys meant iphone 3g. Hence :freeman:

#18

awww… doesn’t work on my old 2nd Gen iPod Touch :frowning:
