Something tells me that on June (macworld) we will see the new 1ghz iphone with an announcement or demo from Epic bringing Gears Of War Touch lol

the iPhone 4G is going to have a dual-core processor in it.

that should open up a few new function's that some developer's may want to exploit.

 are they still going to stick to

a Samsung Arm core?

http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/01/iphone-processor-found-620mhz-arm/

ya, its said to be the Cortex-A9 Dual-Core CPU, down-clocked of course.

wow, the cortex can get very Hot..

that should give the Iphone some great boost in computing power..that's pretty cool

iPhone is a hardware beast, I'm sure CryEngine 3 will be running on this in no time!



Odd. Future. Wolf. Gang. Kill. Em. All. OFWGKTA Don't give a fuck!

Fuck Steve Harvey. FREE EARL!

Final Fantasy Versus XIII will be the GREATEST game EVER made!!!

I'd take a bullet for Square-Enix! 

 

The iphone is not more powerful than the wii.

vlad to you anything without keyb/mouse is terrible :)

the controls are awesome if i judge from gameloft's nova/sandstorm i dare to say that you are not missing physical buttons at all

and they are definitely better than psp (no 2nd analog) or ds (playing with stylus or finger strap)

its the best "fps" portable machine at the moment by far

This is even worse than a dual analog set up. That's just how bad that is. Also I'm sorry but did we watch the same thing? The thing where you can only doe 2 of the following 3, aim shoot move? That's a bad control scheme.

lol..well it's a beast of hardware for a handheld platform that is, but it would require a retool of the engine no doubt. prob. a big one.

there are limit's to handheld platform viability for certain function's due to size constraints of the handheld, and what can be crammed into them

though it is quite amazing how far portable computing has come. this is something many in the industry 18 to 25 year's ago thought we would not see for quite some time. 

I think its quite amazing how far we have come since then

"It requires OpenGL ES 2.0, so the iPhone 2G and 3G won’t work, nor will the older iPod Touch models. It doesn’t really matter though, this is just a starting point."

It requires the 3G S and newest iPod Touchs. Spec for spec, the iPhone 3Gs is stronger due to it supporting newer programming standards.

 

Edit: spec v spec, the Iphone is stronger then the Wii.

Specs really don't mean anything. In practice, Wii is a much more capable gaming machine than the Iphone.



Vlad the guy in the video doesn't know how to play :)
you can shoot and move at the same time because the fire buttons have usually drag mode enabled
so if u click the fire and you move your hands u can fire at the same time while moving it's so easy

keyb/mouse is terrible for me
it was ok in the mid 90s but now ewwwww only for romantics
first keyb is digital so u are losing analog motion 2nd the mouse can make you spin 360 in ms how can this be real? this can't happen in real life sorry :)
analog controls offer a more realistic way of turning around

yes and no, certain part's the Iphone is, but in other's no its not

example:

Broadway CPU

Broadway is Wii's CPU. Broadway functionality and specifications are as follows.

• Operating speed: 729 MHz
• Bus to main memory: 243 MHz, 64 bits (maximum bandwidth: 1.9 gigabytes/sec)
• 32-kilobyte 8-way set-associative L1 instruction cache
• 32-kilobyte 8-way set-associative L1 data cache (can set up 16-kilobyte data scratch pad)
• Superscalar microprocessor with six execution units (floating-point unit, branching unit, system regis
ter unit, load/store unit, two integer units)
• DMA unit (15-entry DMA request queue) used by 16-kilobyte data scratch pad
• Write-gather buffer for writing graphics command lists to the graphics chip
• Onboard 256-kilobyte 2-way set-associative L2 integrated cache
• Two, 32-bit integer units (IU)
• One floating point unit (FPU) (supports single precision (32-bit) and double precision (64-bit))
• The FPU supports paired single floating point (FP/PS)
• The FPU supports paired single multiply add (ps_madd). Most FP/PS instructions can be issued in 
each cycle and completed in three cycles.
• Fixed-point to floating-point conversion can be performed at the same time as FPU register load and 
store, with no loss in performance.
• The branch unit supports static branch prediction and dynamic branch prediction.
• When an instruction is stalled on data, the next instruction can be issued and executed. All instructions 
maintain program logic and will complete in the correct program order.
• Supports three L2 cache fetch modes: 32-Byte, 64-Byte, and 128-Byte.
• Supports these bus pipeline depth levels: level 2, level 3, and level 4.
Reference Information: Broadway is upward compatible with Nintendo GameCube’s CPU (Gekko).

Hollywood GPU

Hollywood is a system LSI composed of a GPU and internal main memory (MEM1). Hollywood is clocked at 243 MHz. Its internal memory consists of 3 megabytes of embedded graphics memory and 24 megabytes of high speed main memory. 

Hollywood includes the following. 
• Graphics processing unit (with 3 megabytes of eDRAM)
• Audio DSP
• I/O Bridge
• 24 megabytes of internal main memory
• Internal main memory operates at 486 MHz. 
Maximum bandwidth between Hollywood and internal main memory: 3.9 gigabytes per second 
• Possible to locate a program here 
Reference Information: Hollywood is similar to Nintendo GameCube’s Flipper and Splash components. 

External Main Memory (MEM2)

Wii uses 64 megabytes of GDDR3 (MEM2) as external main memory. Like internal main memory, MEM2 can be accessed directly from Broadway and the GPU at high speed and has a peak bandwidth of 4 gigabytes/sec. Programs can also be placed in MEM2. 

Reference Information: Nintendo GameCube ARAM is used as auxiliary memory for the DSP. The CPU and GPU did not have direct access to it.

well spec's do provide a upper ceiling that the developer can gauge from in what direction he or she may take for their software.

as for much more capable of a game machine that is pretty subjective to the person by person basis.

for example would you say the 

Wii is more capable as a game's machine than the Nintendo DS?

both are fine game's machine's

is the Wii more powerful than the DS, yea no question about it, is it a more capable as a game's machine

that's pretty subjective In my opinion.
