Ever since I received my iPhone for free from freebiejeebies, you can usually find me playing some sort of game on it. I’ve always admired the iPhones capabilities as a gaming platform and thought that I recognised it’s true power. That is, until now…
I have just seen iPhone tech-demo for Rage, a game originally for the current generation games consoles but is also getting an iPhone version. As soon as the video started, I found it hard to believe that this could be the iPhone’s footage, assuming that this was the console version being shown first to show a direct comparison. The game is being developed by id soft, a well known company, responsible for such titles as Wolfenstein 3D and the Quake series.
The graphics used in the tech-demo are fantastic, the textures are to a standard above when you’d expect to see on an mobile gaming console and even that of the Nintendo Wii. A truly breathtaking video and well worth checking out.
