@darktiger070 all you do is walk around and stuff its a cool game as far as graphics go but i was kinda disappointed because there was no objective to the game ...thumbs up if u think that they should make is u can MAKE your own Epic Citadel.
@kelbinxD I shall repeat for you :P, its a TECH demo, not a game, but hopefully they will come out with a game as unreal engine can do wonders, its really optimised, although as a pc gamer, those graphics look shit...
@qazwsxedcrfvg123 I meant PSP 1 is outdated.Its Infinity blade,you people do not know the names of your own apps.Infinity blade is boring and repititive no free roam available and only two actors appearing on the screen at one time.I'll tell you that better commercial games WILL arrive for the PS Vita,check out uncharted golden abyss,resistance burning skies,little big planet,Killzone,Bioshock and many more.These are better commercial games than iOS will ever have,it also has buttons.
There are better commercial games than infinity blade ALREADY, on iOS. yeah, you are right, it is "infinity blade". Played it a year ago, during the first week after it just came out.
Recitative? Which game is not? Tetris?
I had tons of fun 20 years ago playing its white/black version.
What ever you play - enjoy it, even if it is your life.
@qazwsxedcrfvg123 No,every game has better gameplay than this,I mean a game has to have a catch,this has not.Even Tetris is better than this sucky app.But when PS Vita will arrive,iOS will be destroyed as a "gaming console" you have to agree with me on this.
@YOTTR No I don't have to. Because 1) I have never seen PS Vita yet. 2) And I have already seen many products labeled as iPhone or iPod killer. 3) I can not predict the future.
You are entitled to your own opinion. And it is natural to believe that PS Vita is going to destroy iOS gaming platform if you already have PS Vita, never heard about iPhone/iPod killers, can predict the future.
@YOTTR So this is a different class of the devices, as you might agree.
The same is for example iPhone. It is even more portable than yet to come PS Vita.
Some can prefer one device over another based on their needs and preferences. Some people even might say that both iPhone and PS Vita are a joke, because you can't play on them competitively StarCraft a CounterStrike or Crysis.
I hope you are going to get and enjoy your PS Vita as you imagine right now. Good luck and much fun!
@BudzMcgr33n Yeah,a smartphone which plays games as a bonus for $900 will outdo a dedicated handheld gaming console which cost 250$ and has 4 cores of graphics and processing power!You sir,are a dumbfuck!
@magadeth100 It's not a game. It is a demo of the technology. Developers are going to see this and pay to license the technology to create their own games. Basically it is a big interactive commercial for game developers. Infinity Blade is a more practical application of the engine.
geez ya think it looks pretty good on this vid but actually having it looks even more amazing, for an iphone game :) so wens the actual game come out?
@spectressammy The developers are expecting it to be like in the pc, where we have several games made with this engine, from games like gears of war to fps like AVA.
Man, some of you people are whining like lil shit-ass too much. This is a good step toward that horizon of innovation with the Unreal engine. I'm glad Epic can expand their market into the Apple territory.
@Fartmastergb Overall yes but this has much better lighting and by the looks of it model model design as well since it's such a small game. Don't get me wrong, I'll take Oblivion over this any day but this is impressive to say the least.
I think the 3DS should be able to run this, but the game might be a bit shorter. I mean hey guys all standards do rise. DS rosed from having the highest at about 50 mb or so to having 512 mb... So I am sure just maybe the 3DS might rise to have 4 mb maybe by mid in it's lifetime. Let's not judge the 3DS's power just by it's launch games.
@masterman280 No it can't, the devs for Unreal specifically said that they doubted a 3DS port would be possible due to hardware limitations. The iPhone has a better GPU unfortunately.
@Harrypotterpuppetpro The iPhone doesn't even have a GPU, and Epic said "they don't have a 3DS, so they don't know the specs". Research before replying to me. Epic doesn't even like Nintendo, they are just looking for excuses.
@masterman280 Are you serious, the iPhone doesn't have a GPU? What the hell do you think renders the beautiful graphics you see in Epic Citadel? Of course the phone has a GPU it's a powerVR SGX 535 chip, and it trumps the Pica GPU found in the 3DS, nice try buddy, perhaps you should research your facts (seriously, how the hell could you really think the iPhone wouldn't have a GPU). Also, the 3DS has announced its specs, so devs should have a pretty good idea of what will and won't run.
@ATLMember The 3DS is powerful than the iPhone for fuck sake. The Wii can even run this. iPhone doesn't have as much polygons as the 3DS. Yes iPhone has alot more RAM, but thats because the does a lot more than gaming, and when it on a game it use about 24 mb of RAM. Have you notice that this game is completly empty... theirs no AI, NPC's, No charcters (thats why this is in First person). When the add all of that including Physics, i doubt it will look as beautiful as this.
@masterman280 Lol, "the iPhone has less polygons" I believe you mean its GPU has worse vertex performance, which isn't even true. The early estimate of 30 million triangles per second is in fact false, because it was assuming the GPU core clock would be 400 MHZ, and it is in fact, only 133. So at the point, we really don't know how the 3DS stacks up against the iPhone. The texture fill for the Pica chip is incredible, I'll admit that.
@masterman280 Believe me, I agree with you in full about Epic Citadel's ability to accurately portray the future of iPhone games. It's merely a tech demo, and lacks AI and physics and many other elements of a real game, in short, it's really kind of a cheat, and I find it funny that so many die hard Apple fans believe that all iPhone games will soon look like this, because they're wrong, but I think it's too early to say if the 3DS is really more or less powerful than iPhone.
@ATLMember Good comments. I'm not entirely fluent in all this technical talk but as I understand it, in order to produce the 3D effect the 3DS has to render each image twice (one for each eye) which requires a considerable amount of horse power from what I've read. Does that fact not definitively proof that the 3DS is far more powerful than the iphone in terms of it's gaming performance and visual capabilities?
@ATLMember Just look a RE: Revelations Theres Bump Mapping, motion blur, lighting effects, depth, Real life shadow effect ect, their is no way iPhone can handle that, it's going to have to be bump down. Plus RE: Revelations looks better than this game.
Yeah, everything seems beautifull in this demo. No add 3 enemies shooting, and it will be all slowdown, low resolution and frame-rate...and the real crap shows its face
Well the 3DS is touted as being more powerful than the Wii. And seeing as the 3DS' specs don't quite stack up to most of your higher end smart phones; I'd say the graphical capabilities would be pretty damn impressive for the iphone. More capable than the Wii or 3DS at least. And that's saying something. Don't try to argue with me. I'm speaking facts. Just look up the specs of the systems. 3DS is still going to have way better games in the long run but hey, nice to see capabilities.
Most specs are still rumored & it helps the 3DS doesnt have an OS sucking up all its power.
There's way more technology packed into the RE demos than there is Citadel, its really not up for debate. Citadel is missing any character models at all, there's no dynamic shadow maps, no HDR, no depth of field, no motion blur at all & no self shadowing. There's plenty of normal maps, a decent particle system & some nice baked lighting sure, but Capcom's demo has all of that as well.
Yeah it can, if you knock the resolution down significantly. You and many others also don't take the iphone's native resolution into mind when comparing the two. Take your fanboy hat off for a sec and just look at this with a bit more maturity. I don't even think of the iphone as a serious gaming system. Hell I'm buying a 3DS. But the iphone is just a more powerful device.
LOL, your calling me a "fanboy", it's been prove that the 3DS is a more powerful than the iPhone. I bet when they release this, it will not look as good as this. Yes the iPhone has more RAM and CPU thats because it does much more things than just gaming. if you think of iPhone the last thing you think of is gaming. The 3DS is design to play games. The 3DS and even the Wii is capable of doing more than this, and if your're butt hurt and can't accept it thats your problem.
You really don't know what the hell you're talking about do you? Just saw your other comment: "the iPhone has less polygons". Oh boy... I'm done. We're done. lol
@vitormlb Yeah, they purposely didn't put characters in just so they could fool you into thinking it can do full games with this kind of complexity. I refuse to believe it can actually do this in a real game if there aren't any character models to speak of in it, unless the game is Environment Explorer HD.
@DerangedGames well, they can at least do a tenis game lol . 2 enemies is not a number you can be proud of..but developers will have to work with games with no need of many objects. Maybe survival horror may take good advantage on this. It is just a mather of know how to use it
@DerangedGames I guess they are just animated models? Remember how CPU intensive AI and actually animating and moving the characters in a game can be - if there are no calculations other than "give this transformation matrix to GPU and handle the touch screen", well, of course it will be faster.
Not to mock this at all, just being suspicious. I didn't think the iPad would handle this kind of graphical detail, static or not. Looks really smooth and stylish. Big hand to the modelers ;)
"Epic is currently building a mobile version of Unreal engine 3 for iOS devices. It recently released a mobile tech demo, Epic Citadel, on the App Store - a free application which demonstrates how graphics quality in mobile devices has already surpassed last-gen home consoles." - Mark Rein of Epic
Looks incredible, but ofcourse you have to remember that there is actually nothing happening besides river flowing and flags waving so high fps is understandable.
That's just great! I downloaded it for my iPhone 3GS and most of the time it was over 30 fps so it will run great on all of the latest iDevices! I look forward to when you can play games with these graphics on your mobile phone.
I have on my iPod 4. Looks amazing. Eventually in a future update they're adding 1 on 1 fighting where you swipe your finger and tour attacks mimic your finger swipe
It was faster than I expected on my 32gb ipod touch (3G). it does take almost all of your memory (from the about 150~160 mb you have w/o apps running in the background, I went to 12~20 mb)
I want to see it on the ipad, (higher res, bigger screen..)
also sth I noticed is that ur 'look&move' jotsticks move arround the screen when u use them...
if they manage to make an assasin's creed version of this, which runs just a little bit smoother, it would be great! (nvr gonna happen, bust still)
lol a wii ??? iphone 4 and ipad, are more powerful than this, and epic said that it look like more a PS3 , xbox 360 game , with less polygons, but all the effects of unreal engine 3 are there, and a perfect aliasing u can find only on PC or macs, and no its a tech demo of the unreal engine 3 on iphone , that will be released on less than a week , for all dev.

I also thought Id copy the highest rated comments and say
The Graphics on Ipad rival those of next gen consoles, especially the Nintendo Wii, the added bonus of a touch screen interface pisses on the wiimote.. no pun intended (piss.wii.wee?..nevermind)
so does this play on the old ipod touch running 4.1? by old touch I mean 2nd gen I think (the one that looks like the gen that game before the camera version, but less powerful?) if it helps, I got it 2 years ago...
the graphics on the wii could've been amazing if it could be used on a 3,5 inch screen. but the ipod still does an awesome job, it is just sick.congrats Epic Games, u just made a new revolution in gaming.

Just look up the specs of the systems. 3DS is still going to have way better games in the long run but hey, nice to see capabilities.

@ValidusMos
Most specs are still rumored & it helps the 3DS doesnt have an OS sucking up all its power.
There's way more technology packed into the RE demos than there is Citadel, its really not up for debate. Citadel is missing any character models at all, there's no dynamic shadow maps, no HDR, no depth of field, no motion blur at all & no self shadowing. There's plenty of normal maps, a decent particle system & some nice baked lighting sure, but Capcom's demo has all of that as well.

@ValidusMos It can run on the 3DS. ¬_¬

@masterman280
Yeah it can, if you knock the resolution down significantly. You and many others also don't take the iphone's native resolution into mind when comparing the two. Take your fanboy hat off for a sec and just look at this with a bit more maturity. I don't even think of the iphone as a serious gaming system. Hell I'm buying a 3DS. But the iphone is just a more powerful device.

@ValidusMos
LOL, your calling me a "fanboy", it's been prove that the 3DS is a more powerful than the iPhone. I bet when they release this, it will not look as good as this. Yes the iPhone has more RAM and CPU thats because it does much more things than just gaming. if you think of iPhone the last thing you think of is gaming. The 3DS is design to play games. The 3DS and even the Wii is capable of doing more than this, and if your're butt hurt and can't accept it thats your problem.

You really don't know what the hell you're talking about do you? Just saw your other comment: "the iPhone has less polygons". Oh boy... I'm done. We're done. lol

@vitormlb Yeah, they purposely didn't put characters in just so they could fool you into thinking it can do full games with this kind of complexity. I refuse to believe it can actually do this in a real game if there aren't any character models to speak of in it, unless the game is Environment Explorer HD.
MetroidJunkie2007 1 year ago
@vitormlb Why would it? have you seen the Demo at the Apple Conference of this game? They have 2 characters Fighting, no Lag at all.
DerangedGames 1 year ago
@DerangedGames well, they can at least do a tenis game lol . 2 enemies is not a number you can be proud of..but developers will have to work with games with no need of many objects. Maybe survival horror may take good advantage on this. It is just a mather of know how to use it
vitormlb 1 year ago
@DerangedGames I guess they are just animated models? Remember how CPU intensive AI and actually animating and moving the characters in a game can be - if there are no calculations other than "give this transformation matrix to GPU and handle the touch screen", well, of course it will be faster.
Not to mock this at all, just being suspicious. I didn't think the iPad would handle this kind of graphical detail, static or not. Looks really smooth and stylish. Big hand to the modelers ;)

It was faster than I expected on my 32gb ipod touch (3G). it does take almost all of your memory (from the about 150~160 mb you have w/o apps running in the background, I went to 12~20 mb)
I want to see it on the ipad, (higher res, bigger screen..)
also sth I noticed is that ur 'look&move' jotsticks move arround the screen when u use them...
if they manage to make an assasin's creed version of this, which runs just a little bit smoother, it would be great! (nvr gonna happen, bust still)

This is a show demo to show what the Unreal Engine 3 can do on the iDevices.
the full game will be released later this year. I heard its gonna cost about 4-5 bucks, and you can fight with knights against your friends.
