Forums - Nintendo - Mark Rein: 3DS is below our specs

psrock said:

I just read this on GAF,  Epic Don't make Nintendo games, what do people expect?

The Iphone is very powerful, I haven't used the 3DS yet, but please don't underestimate the Iphone.

Its not a matter of underestimating the iPhone, but clearly the 3DS is capable enough on that point. Certainly in the effects department, and the raw power department is one that is hard to assess pound-for-pound (especially against a multipurpose device with a stronger persistent OS, and one with a far less resource-consuming OS)

But it's not powerful enough for one developer who doesnt do any games for Nintendo anyway.

This shouldn't surprise anyone.

I don't know why he thinks Nintendo would come to them with a proposition, though.

It's merely spectacle. We let Rein make a mockery of himself.

Well those specs 3DS IGN released didn't blow anyone away... Im sure Epic could port Unreal engine to it but whats the point?  Doing what tey do on PS360 and PC have bought them ferraris and they don't need to make games they don't want to make and milk the "cash cow" for the sake of getting paid.

Lets see what Crytek has to say...lol

Crytek hasn't gone out of their way to make such statements, while Epic has on numerous occasions.

You keep talking as if these statement hurt you or something. The Iphone has much higher specs than the 3DS from what we have seen or heard. It doesnt maen the 3DS is not powerful, it certainly is, but don't expect mind blowing either.

Fail on those calling fail...

Seriously people, grow up.

If you call fail, you are fail and that is all there is to it. Mark Rein has a hell of a lot more credibility than any of you.

This comment has been ignored for some strange reason.

I think I will quote you, just incase people miss it the first time

I've ignored it because i tend to respect Squilliam, though i would argue handily against Mark Rein's credibility.
