[stoner1768]

[Seriousdamagednb]

hey... is it a bad pixel on the display? :(

[PointlessTvShow]

This app has better graphics than my ps3 games on full HD..

[TheRevReviews]

@PointlessTvShow fuc u

[PointlessTvShow]

@TheRevReviews I WAS BEING IRONIC, srsly my PS3 pwns everything else.

Nintendo wii havent even got better graphics tha a tamagochi.

[TheRevReviews]

@PointlessTvShow Well u mpck nintendo now but project CAFE wil pwn

[graveljaw]

And the UDK supports iOS? Say goodbye to any spare time I may have had...

[CyandideExpress]

How am I JUST now hearing about this?!

[KenethAger]

legit way to make extra cash online /watch?v=BMPhsRN19Ms

[1xXD4N13LXx1]

by any chance is the project sword

infinity blade?

[techn0FTW]

not much of a "game" but i loved exploring!

[Visgard6]

This was definitely the basis for Infinity Blade. (:

[itouchfreak94]

is this the demo of infinity blade?

[Neo0101Roblox]

@itouchfreak94 Not exactly. From what I got, it's just showcasing the possibliites of using the Unreal Engine, the same engine they are using for Infinity Blade, so kind of.

[DannoStuff]

@itouchfreak94 yh

[OnlyFoolsAndHorsesHQ]

I'm not one for complaining, but this is set sometime in the Medievel Times right. So why are there contrails in the sky above. I don't think the invention of flight was invented then, but, I could be wrong.

[ATLMember]

@MrOsamaful Ok... so why the hell are you complaining that it can't do console quality rendering?

[ATLMember]

@MrOsamaful 20 FPS? I thought it was more than that. Its a phone too, so what the hell do you expect? In case you didn't realize, this things using a tiny powerVR chip.

[TheAdamena]

Is this "Demo" Out for Ipod Touch 4g?

[ATLMember]

@TheAdamena Yeah, but since the iPod touch 4 isn't as powerful as the iPhone 4, so they had to degrade the texture resolution and other stuff, it's on the iPod touch 4, but it looks worse.

[TheAdamena]

@ATLMember ok thanks, just wondering... may be getting one for Christmas :)

[scruffylittledog]

@TheAdamena yeah I have it: It's amazing. Get infinity blade aswell.

[TheAdamena]

@scruffylittledog I got it Now aswell :D

Got and Ipod Touch 4g For Xmas and this was the first thing I Bought,

[WillSing4Label]

@TheAdamena Yes it is! I Just INSTALLED IT! :)

[TheAdamena]

@WillSing4Label Well That took a While for a Reply. I already Have a Ipod Touch 4 and I Know it works.

[evoviper1]

Look's so good. When are they making the full game??

[L0zz0]

This proves that we need Oblivion for the Iphone.

[ATLMember]

@L0zz0 It would never run.

[Neo0101Roblox]

@L0zz0 Check out Aralon Sword and Shadow, it seems to be the closest thing, and I can't wait for it to come out!

[L0zz0]

@Neo0101Roblox I just tried to look for this and it couldn't be found :(

[Neo0101Roblox]

@L0zz0 That's because it hasn't come out yet, it comes out on December 16th for $6.99. I'll send you some videos of the gameplay if you want.

[treebush]

@skrbicdu countless andriod and windows.., htc...

[08MANNY23]

@skrbicdu ANDROIDS

[shakin2009]

wow, this is better than my pc :P

[GamerSonny]

@skrbicdu yeah but people these days are using phones as mobile gaming the iphone is one of the best monile gaming next to ipod touch so the graphics on iphone isnt the best. so its necessary that graphics should improve since so many people use the iphone and ipod touch for gaming purposes. which it has now with epic cidatel

[GamerSonny]

@skrbicdu yeah but compared to every gameg console handheld. yeah not so much exept this video

[Lillajohan123]

WHAT THE FUCK =O

[xbuster17]

woops looks like there will be no ut3 engine for 2nd generations … hehehe evolution suxs ^^! now i know how the first generation must feel… although, in 1 or 2 years the 1st ipad generation will join the "rejected ones" and that will really suck since the ipad is way more expensive… ipod 2g still rocks to me =) ! apple is really nice making recyclable devices (hope some day they make them affordable too ! )

[kroen]

iphone 4, ipod touch 4 and ipad all have better hardaware than the Wii

[M3iscool]

You can't have this game on the 2nd gen Ipod touch?! LLLLLLLAAAAMMMMMMMEEEE

[DevilmanAltair]

@M3iscool lol?

[iPodTouchTapp]

@M3iscool Want your iPod Touch 2G to fry within 10 minutes? No.

[M3iscool]

Hahahahaa, yeah. I sold it today actually. I'm pretty excited.

[taekwondo20062000]

@UnarmedSnowman not really, it might have the best graphic amongst any portable gaming device, but playing with no buttons to press, it wont be the best.

[iPodTouchTapp]

@UnarmedSnowman The engine will have to be scaled down (graphics anyway) when it's used for actual games on this platform...

[LukaKotar]

ps 3 graphic! wow

[GuyofSpades]

At this point the iPhone is a Pocket N64/PS2/GameCube/XBOX/Wii but when this game comes out its going to be a Pocket PS3/XBOX360/PC

[TeamEclipZ]

This game is already out and it's free :3 It's also known as infinity blade or Project Sword.

[slipperybacon]

That is fuckin awesome

[PunkyF00l]

I want this gam so badly!

[MemoOnUtube]

my fucking god! amazing! D:

[pdPOINTnCLICKbq]

Fuck, it just occured to me: I can't make fun of the iPhone's graphics anymore...

[pdPOINTnCLICKbq]

Mind=blown

[CollMomo1]

OMG !!!!!

[Harrypotterpuppetpro]

Looks better on iPhone that iPod touch 4. 

[BestOfFamGuy53]

Danm!!! that some good quality!!

[asdandria91]

very good

[Boogieeeeeeee]

@skrbicdu I know! I'm such an apple fanboy for agreeing with you but.. it's true! :D

[primtous]

I can just imagine steve jobs going 'The future of gaming'

[TheSlushy]

@primtous Haha, I was thinking just that! Well...similar, but it stillhad to do with Steve Jobs..

[stophthecomputerwiz]

It does help that it's running at a (comparatively) low resolution (ie not 720p/1080p)

[Troo44]

Oh my. now they just need to add some shoulder buttons.

BTW,, who here from the Yahoo blog?

[Blastbox4]

looks like fable 2s bowerstone

[cobbfilms22]

iphone is Da King of phones



[texjoy86]

Finally, an Apple product you can play games on.

[pianomatteo]

goofs bumps just walking through it.

[sven209]

Anyone else find it sad that this iPhone game destroys anything the Wii has ever done, graphically?

[Randomninja47]

@sven209 Except you know if Epic so choose, they could put this on Wii easily.

And apparently you haven't played many of the Wii's AAA titles as they're pretty fantastic looking.

I'm playing Metroid Other M as I type this (on pause) and it's pretty fantastic.

[ahmadkurabi]

@sven209 every one does ... lol

[infernapeawsome15]

@sven209 Too bad it doesn't have anything that can even remotely come close to beating out truly great games like Metroid, Donky Kong, Kirby, Zelda, Mario, etc. Angry Birds is good, but not that good.

[TheAznmofo]

@sven209 i think super smash bros. brawl is 100 times better than this.. just saying

[iPodTouchTapp]

@sven209 Nintendo has been shit at graphics since ever ;p

[shakin2009]

@sven209 yeah but, wiiiiiiiiiiiiii

[ATLMember]

@sven209 No, because not only does Wii have games that are this good looking, but this is a tech demo, so it means nothing.

[PGN30h]

@sven209 Im not a wii fan but the wii does have better graphics, think of it this way, stretch out the screen size to be the same size as a tv and the wii will better graphics

[millarmax]

@sven209 Yeah but its gameplay that matters not graphics... this is just moving around with no ai or npc's. The wii has a lot better than that. If the game had npc's and ai they would have to sacrifice the graphics a bit :/

[Logue42]

@millarmax Yeahhh, but it is just a demo made to prove that the iPhone can run off Unreal Game Engine :/

[Kyorere23]

@millarmax its just a demo. they're making project sword, and that's the real game.

[DannydXL]

OMFG iPod touch keeps getting sold out here in missisauga.  I've hit up Future Shop twice already. Anyone know when Future Shop restocks?

[Oriandu]

Shame it'll control like a brain damaged chimpanzee.

[36393837987]

@skrbicdu i think he meant compared to consoles?

[prittydolly]

if this is possible. Bethesda, give i-Blivion

[Phillakied]

HOLY SHIT the iPod puts the iMac to shame?!

[iDontJailbreak]

Shut up about Android. iOS rules the market. Learn to live with it.

[topster88]

@iDontJailbreak lol you're kidding, right? WHat does this have to do with the OS? What matters here is processing power

[toycrush]

@iDontJailbreak iOS is the best system if you want to be apple's bitch...which seems like you do...

[Roxaspwns360]

I love walking around through this when I want a portable picture to take with me.

Free in the A.P guys. Cant wait for the full game. This is a tech demo.

[jampotkwl]

Only iPhone?

[royalapplepie]

@jampotkwl HELL YES!

[funkymaniak]

It's games/developers like this that make the iOS devices so exciting and revolutionary, I cannot wait for the new iPod Touch 4th Gen and that amazing retina display to be in my hands!

[Drybones5]

You also forgot to mention Epic and ID software are making an Android version because my Galaxy S phone has a 3x more powerful graphics processor than an iPhone 4.

[phat007]

@Drybones5

Yep, the iphone4 is already out dated by some of the android powered devices.

cant wait to see what they area ble to do.

[draper3000]

Nice. Downloaded an it looks amazing. Anyone found any secrets in the free app?

[IphoneDevver]

WOW! Looks great! I'll definitely buy it - want at least sometimes play not in iRoach)

Great work!

[darkkclovers]

holy shit..

[WhiteHawk137]

it pisses me off that i just bought a Touch 3G 32gb a few months ago, and now theres coming a fucking 4G... ohwell at least i got it for a good price :) .. + i don't really need a stupid camera or a few more pixels on the screen.

[masterYOUtob]

danm tats nice

[easterlingderek34]

And for people who says this is a game and its boring.

it is not a game it is a Tech Demo.

They allowed you to Walk through.

[easterlingderek34]

seen it, tried it ,WOOOOOOW!!!!!!

I will buy this game.

Been hearing stuff of Elder Schrolls coming to idevies.

if it is not as good looking as this. This will be an absolute replacement.

[jamstok]

another something too feel good about after spending €640 on an iphone 4 :D

iphone's cost very much here in Belgium :( not fair!

[08MANNY23]

this show that the ipod and iphone can handle the hardcore graphics if only its true potienal was unleashed then this would outrank ANY gamesystem by a long shot in EVERYWAY and gained some real money by doing so

[VideoGamerGuy1000]

I want this game so bad but I got the 2G as a gift at the beginning of Summer. Totally bummed!

[SebaPee]

@VideoGamerGuy1000 dude, this "game" is soooo boring, ur not missing anything

[VideoGamerGuy1000]

@SebaPee Yeah but it's just a small piece of Project Sword, which looks amazing!

[cheeseymonkeystudio2]

why did i get the psp doh!

[mattdabrat96]

what a gay kid



[jacobnoergaard]

This outperforms the PSP totally. Hell, it even outperforms PS2 games. On the iPhone 4 with the retina display, resolution is much higher than any game on either of those and it still runs well. Now, adding actual gameplay will of course mean minor downgrading of a few things, I'd imagine. However, does any of us even know if this is really utilizing the iDevice fully?

[CubanRevival]

it makes the iphone super freaking hot

[coconuts830]

holy snap

[heatblade11]

I need a iphone :(

[ridiculusforwwe]

thats f'n crazy i think thats better than a psp

[Toedoog]

Playing this on my iPhone 4... thank you Epic for making us amazing game engine's.

[TravMcTavish]

WOW this looks amazing! WOW! review it when it comes out I will get it if I decide to get the iPhone 4! To be honest my 3G iPhone lags SO much since the update that I'm considering not getting the new one when my current contract is up in November.

[Clambake01]

@TravMcTavish Apple says 4.1 should fix that.

[najma50000]

holy shit,,, this is amazing

[2ThaBam]

Woah! This beats the PSP!

[KalterspiegelFan]

@2ThaBam

The grafik of the PSP is not really good....

[2ThaBam]

@KalterspiegelFan But, PSP is purley made for portable gaming.

[TheYtml]

@2ThaBam so? doesn't mean it's good. plus that just means you can do more on the iphone

[tdark987]

Requires 3.2? Fuck off. Seriously, there's so little difference between 3.1.3 and 3.2 that the only reason they did this was to shut out 3G owners. Assholes.

[dwagothegod]

@tdark987 i have 3.1.3 all because of jailbreak >.<

[Killingglorie]

Project sword?! When's that coming out?

[Tis4Tony]

hey man, im a inspired app reviewer here and i was wonder what kind of audio set up do you have? The audio is great! and i love how you talk about the apps.. Maybe ever a video on what you do? and how you prepare? idk get back to me thanks

[GhostofSparta54]

holy shit! that completely blows away any portable device!

[armyman736]

I play this on my iPhone and it doesn't wear out my battery life at all, and the gameplay us smooth. Yes there is no point to it, but it's just a tech demo to show off what Epic has planned

[greend614]

i heard this game is multiplayer with the game center on 4.1!

[YCCA9K]

Wow! Looks like console graphics.

[nicolasmarinus]

Where will it end!?

[MrMicrocompactsystem]

Fucking waste

[522viper]

Yeah, it's nice. But if there was AI in it, it would be pretty sluggish.

[Dahlheim]

@522viper how'd you know? are you an iphone developer, have you tried it yourself? or are you simply assuming .. because they've already showcased the same engine with ai and 3d character models running at the same time, so you sir, fail.

[Sc105299]

@Dahlheim If you knew anything about the programming aspect of it you wouldn't be jumping up and down saying that - there is no slowdown and awesome graphics in this tech demo because there is nothing else having to be executed. Add self-aware populating that city and the engine will be put under serious strain on the device. The A4 chip is the only processor in the iRange to stand a chance at keeping up and even then there are going to be major hurdles

[Dahlheim]

@Sc105299 it's funny how you're giving me advice about not jumping to conluscion while you're just doing that yourself. assuming i don't know about programming when you don't have a clue about it. i've been developing games using the esenthel engine for years. i simply claimed that epic games, which still stands true, showcased a live demo of the game-play on the actual apple music event that included meshes, sketeletons, animations and ran m.m, which ran perfectly smooth. check it out

[Sc105299]

@Dahlheim I do have a clue about it actually since i've got apps available on the App Store thank you very much. Oh and the demo you talk of was actually just the Epic Citadel game with a combat scene they showed against each other. If there was some magical demo which wasn't broadcast like then could be so kind to point me it?

[Dahlheim]

@Sc105299 you claimed following, i quote "If you knew anything about the programming aspect of it you wouldn't be jumping up and down saying that". basically you're doing exactly that, claiming i do not know anything about it, which is jumping to conclusion, you don't have a clue about my knowledge in the matter.

and you're now claiming you do have a clue about my knowledge? since you're clearly biased, i'm not gonna continue this pointless conversation. i stand my claims.

[Sc105299]

@Dahlheim "and you're now claiming you do have a clue about my knowledge?" - Where do I claim I have any clue about your knowledge? Please, quote me.

"since you're clearly biased" - biased? How did you come to that? Exactly what am I biased towards?

This is a "pointless conversation" which you started by discrediting somebodies completely valid, if not spot on opinion/analysis.

Since you havent shown me this magical video with "meshes, sketeletons, animations" i'll assume it doesnt exist

[TheBizarreBurrito]

Almost as impressive as Rage on the iPhone...

[YCCA9K]

Beast

[upgang99]

@xRonaldoNanix

there is 3g with 8gb, thats only on 1g, 2g and now 4g ipod touches...

[RolandVeasey]

Looks cools, I plan on getting the new iTouch later on.

[XRonaldoNaniX]

oh damn... too bad i have an ipod touch 8gb 3rd gen :(

[XxCrientxX]

When this will come out, I will definitely buy a iPhone 4G , so amazing graphics...

[cheeseymonkeystudio2]

@XxCrientxX or you buy new ipod touch thats wat im doing!

[artin123able]

sya goodbye to ur battery life

[Froggen88]

reminds me of Dragon Age

[TheRCortez]

that looks sick i hope they make a mmo

[thesk8freak]

awesome!!! cant wait to get my ipod touch 4:D thumbs up if think iphones and itouches rock!

[iloverrecon101]

@thesk8freak i got an iphone 4g and now with the ipod 4g that came out i feel like i got slaped in the face by apple

[thesk8freak]

@iloverrecon101 haha dude that sux, i'm glad i waited for the ipod touch 4. it's cheaper to just have a cheap ass phone next to the itouch.

[Punkyemoking]

@thesk8freak FIRST THING I DOWNLOADED ON MY IPOD TOUCH 4

[SynOgnia007]

Wich Iphone are You guys using to test apps?

[TheHabboNetwork]

I'll get it when there's more to it than walking

[xaultimateax]

Hey AppVee, can you learn to put pricetags on the video? Or atleast mention the price? Thanks.

[deeni159]

This is ok

[JacobCM11]

I cant wait to get my iPod Touch 4G so I can get this!

[calumi14]

looks even better on the ipad

[Maj2004]

@calumi14 Nah looks worse. Stretched out textures.

The iPhone 4 holds the best visuals at the moment.

[derogen]

@Maj2004 And ipod touch 4g!

[JeanMichelAbrassart]

Wow! Amazing!

[joshuajmv1]

I downloaded this on my 3rd gen ipod. I am amazed. I dont even imagine how great this game will look on the retina display and the A4 chip WOW!

[wilp94]

I have this on my iPad and was blown away. I watched the live Apple event last night and thought the graphics were amazing then. But now I have this app in my hands, I'm blown away.

[robekert]

it runs on an ipad too

[sharinganforum]

So not fair...I cant run it on my Ipod Touch 2G... Screw you Apple.

[swspartan327]

@sharinganforum it simply cant handle the required software needs. sorry bud. i have a 1G iTouch myself.

[elliotdeeks]

@sharinganforum same, im pissed :(

[jiaweizheng1990]

@sharinganforum did you upgrade to iOS4 yet?

[sharinganforum]

@jiaweizheng1990 Yep,Im on 4.0.
