There’s no doubt that iPod Touch 3rd Gen and iPhone 3GS are formidable handheld console competitors but if you needed another proof, here’s a demo powered by Unreal Engine 3 running on iPod Touch. It’s the same Unreal Engine that powers games like Gears of Wars 2, Mass Effect etc.
The demo makes use of OpenGL ES 2.0 and as you’ll see in the video below, it plays really smooth without any signs of dropping frames.
Epic Games haven’t revealed what games will be powered on by this engine but emphasized on planning to license the Unreal Engine in the near future.
Epic also confirmed to showcase the Unreal Engine on another mobile platform (we presume its Tegra) at the CES.
