Re: Unreal 3 Engine on the iPhone 3GS - one other platform yet to be announced............ can we dare hope?
 

hey thanks, would be sweet to know definately...just a simple yes or no...
both to PSP-4000 and Maemo 5... hopefully yeah...about NDS2 i don't know..i don't play Nintendo....

btw, i work in the team working on the game Eclipse...for CryEngine..formerly for UE3...

Why hasn't anyone suggested the Droid yet?

Also, I think that the lack of DRM on the N900 is going to be a turn-off to Epic.

Re: Unreal 3 Engine on the iPhone 3GS - one other platform yet to be announced............ can we dare hope?
 

I think they'll be heading for the DS2 as well as it will also feature a nvidia tegra platform, so my guess is nearly same platform, same chances it'll be running on it as well.

Eclipse looks like a fine mode, keep it on :)

I did mention Android which is the DROID's OS.

anyway chances are a lot slimmer, because there are a lot more Android Phones on the Market - with hardware specs that differ a lot - which makes consistent development a lot more problematic for the developer of the engine. thus I'd say if they'll port it to android they'll definitely should give us a maemo version

Re: Unreal 3 Engine on the iPhone 3GS - one other platform yet to be announced............ can we dare hope?
 

any platform that doesn't have a consistent hardware base of Arm8 and Opengl ES 2.0 probably won't be considered. so that knocks out Android. i think they made a grave mistake not mandating Omap3 as a minimum platform requirement.

it also knocks out any platform whose OS is abstracted away from the the hardware such as PalmOS, which although it has capable hardware is completely unable to access it. this is also a problem for Android.

Zune should be ok.

drm on the n900 shouldn't be a problem as surely nokia must have a solution for the Ovi store? the addition of the samsung linux mobile platform should only make maemo more tempting.

Tegra2 as rumoured to be used in the DS2 should be a dead cert, as will the PSP 4000 rumoured to use the OpenCL enabled PowerVR 543 gpu.

i think there will be porting to android not maemo.. its basic business..

androis has a bigger market share and is growing- it is more consumer friendlya nd is stable.. they wont care about older phone models that run android- they just wont be able to run the engine, they will otimise it for the higher end phones running android..

i love the n900- but lets be honest i cant compete on this level at all.

Re: Unreal 3 Engine on the iPhone 3GS - one other platform yet to be announced............ can we dare hope?
 

i would say the number of droid phones running Omap3/Snapdragon doesn't greatly outnumber the number of n900's that have flown off the shelves.

i admit that the maemo communities open source love of "free" will be seen as a barrier by commercial developers, but you must also remember that those same developers are having trouble monetizing the android platform too.

That would make it more powerful than the Wii (not that it's powerful). ;)

According to Tom's Guide, the next PSP might have an enhanced PowerVR GPU that is more powerful than all today's netbooks' counterparts. [http://www.tomsguide.com/us/sony-psp...news-4194.html]

Actually, Google provides great relationchips with companies (and customers as well). As a small company it's sometimes difficult to not rely on Google, and still make profit. With Google, money can be easily gained. Especially compared to the 1M$ requirement to publish in Ovi Store.

Nokia has alot to learn from Google, but at least they got one thing right: their philosophy.

Re: Unreal 3 Engine on the iPhone 3GS - one other platform yet to be announced............ can we dare hope?
 

I think a crucial problem we have on N900 is the amazing resolution 800 x 480 pixels versus 3GS's resolution of only 320 x 480 pixels.

Point is that even if 3GS is a joke of a smartphone and internet device, the small resolution has the advantage of lifting very much of the burden laid on the GPU.
