Epic taking Apple’s device very seriously.
Epic believes that it could be possible to put a game the size of Gears of War on the iPhone in as little as two years time.
Donald Mustard, creative director at Epic subsidiary Chair Entertainment, is currently developing the just-announced Infinity Blade for the iPhone the first mobile game to run off the Unreal Engine. Like many gamers, he was reluctant to see Apple’s smartphone as a proper gaming machine. Not any more.
“I didn’t take it that seriously until we started making this game,” he explained. “Now I’m like, ‘Oh my goodness, this is literally going to be the best looking handheld game ever made’. It’s way beyond what a DS or PSP could do.
