AnandTech is reporting today that the Unreal Engine 3, the technology behind games such as Gears of War 2, has now been successfully run on an iPhone 3GS and a 3rd gen iPod Touch.
Says the editor: "The demo is both playable and has a flythrough. It’s using a modified Unreal Tournament level previously shown off at GDC. A virtual thumbstick on the left side of the screen controls your movement, while tracking your thumb in the lower right corner of the screen controls the camera. Just tap the screen to shoot. Mark said this is a tech test bed and they’re experimenting with several different control schemes including ones with tilt."
There is obviously more to be added, but the news is impressive to say the least. CES should bring more answers as well, says Epic, the company behind the engine.
