Here's Epic's Infinity Blade for the iPhone

Maybe you dweebs saying 'hurr durr say goodbye to your battery life' should shut up until someone has actually played it. 

Looks lovely. Shame I've got the pauper's iPhone (3G). *sadface*

Is that stuff running in engine? Hard to believe that an iPhone could put out graphics that good. 

 Wow this looks really (Graphically) impressive for an Iphone, and it's good to see they've at least tried to implement an intuitive control scheme for the touch screen (rather than making a game with a tacked on D-pad and buttons which are just so much fun). Also watching this makes the pain worse when Peggle Nights has trouble running on my generation 1 Ipod Touch

I have serious doubts that this is in-game footage, or in-engine for that matter. Still, could be interesting.

" So... I make iPhone games.   I'm currently working on a fantasy combat game. And I guess this is the competition?  ...Fuck. "

Err, argh, groan. More groaning as I stab you in the head.

" Looks great, but not sure I'm into "finger swiping" mechanics. "

OK then two min battery life. No matter what phone it's for, the phones' battery will die with the quickness. "

Modern electronic devices can last for hours. Portable gaming has actually been around for a while now. At worst the DSi has a life of 9 hours while the iPhone 4 is 6 hours, and that's only assuming you're going out of your way to make the battery not last. Mobile games are usually inherently shorter and with the nature of the devices they're typically charged well within the time the battery is up. Phones have the battery advantage of having much more easily available methods of charging as opposed to dedicated portable gaming devices which are mainly ac adapters. "

Does anyone know if I'll be able to play this on my iPod Touch?

Ok it looks good but ive tried to play games on the iphone and if a pretty simple Tower Defense or JRPG type game is hard to control how the hell am I going to successfully control an action game?

I can kill my iPhone battery in like two hours if I don't watch myself. "

Mixed feelings here, I LOVED shadow complex and would have been super excited to see a sequel. I also kinda feel that chair's so good they should be developing games i can play on my big screen tv, but then again, maybe this game will be a perfect fit for the ios form factor. I for one am excited to play it

wow, that's amazingly rendered graphics - pity it won't look half that nice when it actually comes out on the iPhone

can't believe i just watched a trailer for an iPhone game

Almost as good as oblivion on the 360.

plain and boring

How many blades?

well it looks nice for being on an iPhone... now it comes down to how it plays.

i just don't get why some peripheral company can't make a game pad case that the ipod/iphone snaps into. seriously just a simple case like this -->  (+[       ]::). Bam. Buttons interface with the ipod though the sync port on the bottom.

i downloaded the free app for the iphone called 'Epic Citadel' which was a sort of tech demo for this, can't wait for it, looks beautiful, although the controls do worry me

This is the game that's on the iPhone commercial, for all of two seconds..

Put actual game developers on phone platforms and amazing things happen. THIS AINT YOUR GRANDMAS ANGRY BIRDS. 
  
Sony and Nintendo are going to have a hell of a time. Smart move by Sony to bed with Google though.

It really does look this good and plays great too. Download the free Epic Citadel for the iPhone 4 if you don't believe it.  It also doesn't use the conventional (bad) control scheme that every other crammed on action game has used on iPhone. It uses an all new, very intuitive, very smart interface that WORKS.
 
Also, the guy in that youtube rant is clueless. We know, Street Fighter on iPhone is dumb. Other developers do "get it" though and have given us fantastic mobile gaming experiences like Cut the Rope, Trainyard, and Zen Bound 2 - games which would be either impossible or awful on non-touch devices. And as others have mentioned, I'm not pulling out a PSP when I'm sitting outside a restaurant waiting for my name to be called, and I almost feel bad for those of you that do unless you're under the age of about 12.

ummm...the game looks pretty cool, but you just cycle through the same game over and over and over leveling up...not really worth $6 if you ask me

Who said anything about Outback?
