I meant to post about this earlier. Kotaku just had an article about this; it's basically a Saudi-made "knock-off" of Uncharted made with Unity 3D, for the PS3, Wii, iOS, and Android (interestingly, they're skipping the Xbox). I put "knock-off" in scare-quotes because as good as Uncharted is, there's nothing original about the character, settings, etc -- if your frame of reference extends beyond games, that is. In any event, it's all about the execution, and what we've seen so far strikes me as last-gen quality, which would perhaps make it a good fit for the App Store.
There are more videos on http://www.unearthedgame.com/ can't believe I didn't know about this game before.
I think these graphics (from videos and screenshots) are from the PC, PS3 etc. version... i don't know how close the iOS devices can come to this quality by now (and i speak for big games with different landscapes and conditions, not like IB2 (is on rails) or Shadowgun (is on the same environment set up all the time)). I am looking forward for this game but i am not sure how impressive will be the iOS version (maybe on iPad3 we could see better things but is early). Time will show us...
Having different environments is not a device-capability issue but a budget issue (and, to a certain extent a download-size issue). If the assets are being developed for the PS3/PC version, they can be used on the iOS version -- though perhaps with lower-res textures. Keep in mind that the game is being developed in Unity, which is a cross-platform engine. As I mentioned above, the game is looking like a latter-PS2/XBox game, and we've already seen several successful iOS ports from that era (Bard's Tale, GTA 3).
Agreed , i don't see how the graphical quality of shadowgun is because of the not so varied environments .
Ha! I'll support this just for the fact that it's made by fellow Arabs. Also, the EEEEEEEEBN BETEWTA~! in the trailer made me laugh out loud.
Anyone play this game? How is it? I downloaded it, the graphics are great. The gameplay is smooth so far, what's the general consensus?
RIDICULOUSLY UNPOLISHED!!! buggy!! and animations are very bad!! controls arent polished. there isn't anything i could recommend about this but also i haven't play more than the first level sooo...
