Forums - Nintendo - Can 3DS handle the visuals form this Iphone game?

Gee, I dunno, can 3DS handle a big UE3 environment with baked shadows/lights, heavily repeated textures, clever load to mask pop-in and absolutely zero characters/interaction?  

The answer is no... and that's because Mark Rein would likely sooner commit seppuku than allow UE3 to be ported to 3DS. ;)


Depends on if he can be convinced it's the "right" system and not magically "backwards".



A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.

doesn´t anyone else hate to have to play all games with the touch screen? specially fighting games? I mean. I feel I´m going to damage it. I love the ds and want the 3ds but what attracks me more of them is that it has the best of both worlds.  some games dont work with just a touch screen

On topic though. I dont know if it can, but it sure looks better than ds and that is good enough for me

Just saw the video, and that's it? Just an empty city? All I saw was that if you make an area with no other characters, you have room in the system resources to make cobblestones look better.

I know it's a demo, but the one viper1 just posted actually shows stuff happening.

It's only a tech demo (they try to sell an engine after all) but they will also release a game based on it. It's using OpenGLES2.0 and rendered in 960x640 pixels. There are however no characters and not using a high frame rate so it's hard to judge if real games can use the same detailed environment.

The iPod touch 4G only costs $229.

Difference in graphics is huge to that tech demo.

If those specs from IGN are right then no it doesn't (biggest problem is lack of RAM). Although it's pretty stupid to compare 3DS and Iphone in the first place when one costs 600$ and other will be 199-249$.


I doubt 3DS will be $199-$249..

considering it's using a very advanced 3D tech that isn't even out for tvs yet..


What is your prediction? For curiosity sakes. 

between 250 and 300

And that iPhone thing isn't a tech demo?
