First think: "Eve Online clone?", but nuh... the video don't show anything about the gameplay and offical website too. Game will be on PC and Mac... it will be on unity engine, and since is ported the developers decided to make iPhone version too ^^ this maybe biggest iPhone project yet
nice find.
looks very impressive. I'll have to look into it more.

I think back in July there wasn't really any big apps, so Super Monkey Ball was a big deal. The world has changed, hasn't it ;)

did anybody else think "ultima" when they saw Ascension and pee their pants in excitement, only to be disappointed ?

the vid did absoultly nothing for me, what is the point of the game, to scroll around objects in the sky?

as a fan of Elite games myself, i just keep my finger crossed it's not a rts title!
This look insanely good for an iPhone !! (if this is a real iPhone version of course, from the look of the video it looks like an higher res version)

That video is so old...who knows where the "game" is now? No recent info or news about anything on the site either...seems abandoned

I agree with Mek and dannys95: what was the point of that video? Based on that alone, I'd have no desire to buy the game. The video felt like "Final Fantsy Lite" to me, and a little something about the gameplay at the end would have been nice.

This title is coming out on multiple platforms, made with Unity. The artwork and graphics are impressive and I remember hearing something about this game a while back....i don't even know if its in production anymore...
But yes, for all of you people who just picked up iphone and ipods recently (after 2.0), SMB was HUGE.

I know a guy working on this project. They have a studio and everything. First I've heard of an iPhone version, but it's a Unity3D game, so in theory it would come over to the iPhone.
However, there are a lot of shader effects in that trailer. OpenGL-ES does not support shaders (which is what the iPhone uses).

I saw this on youtube about a year ago. You'd think it would have been out by now...
Yeah, nice graphics, but if that's in-game footage...wow. Snoozeville.

OMFFG I have been saying this since day one... Yes UO would be absolutley perfect to port to iphone, i didn't quite think that when i saw the vid, but I freaked when i saw your post (Great minds think and swim alike)....
All i know is since Richard Garriott came back from space,http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Garriott
He said his next project would be medievel and online, and that's all he had to say... but from somone who IS THE LORD BRITISH, he has to want a mobile UO client, he just has to!!!...

I agree. Up until this point I'd never heard of Ascension. So to compare the hype for one game that no one mentions to the one that's unherad of is completely funny.

Um...what the hell does this have to do with Super Monkey Ball?
I understand that it's supposed to "hype up" this game by comparing it to a "big studio" offering like Sega's game...but...it's a bit misplaced, isn't it?
I mean, they're two entirely different types of games (apparently...I dunno how the gameplay in this game is going to go), plus...does anyone honestly think for one second that something like this in any way is "bigger" than Super Monkey Ball?
Unless this is developed and "published" by one of the major dev studio and/or publishers, this is not even remotely comparable in terms of impact.
Y'know what's "bigger" than Super Monkey Ball? MGS Touch. A Sonic game. Y'know, a more recognizable brand from a recognizable developer and/or publisher.
Bad hype. Sorry...seriously bad hype that TC tried to stir up for this one.
This thread wan't made now, it was made 7 months ago, that was before even Super Monkey Ball was released, and it was REALLY hyped.

Found it a while back on youtube by accident, very impressed but never posted it here as I thought everyone knew it already.
