Epic Games showed Anandtech the Unreal Engine 3, the same game engine used to power modern games such as Gears of War 2, running on an iPhone 3GS and a third generation iPod touch. This means, with a skilled development team behind a project, a really graphically high end-game would be possible on the platform.
As usual, there is a catch. This technology only runs on the iPhone 3GS and third generation iPod touch because of the higher processor, RAM, and OpenGL ES 2.0, which these devices have. Any earlier iPhones or iPod touches simply don’t have the computational power.
I’m just amazed they could shoehorn this technology on a relatively limited device such as the iPhone. I can’t wait to see what they can do with it.
