The Unreal engine looks much better on handheld than it does on console.

That does look pretty impressive. Although I hope they don't make the games too epic. Or at least give an option to either save anywhere or have very regular autosaves, just because handheld games will always be about playing shorter bursts.

Very impressive, yes, but graphics aren't everything. It would be nice if Epic could be bothered to modify UE2 for 3DS, but they won't, simply because it "isn't powerful enough". It'll still be far better optimised though, so the 3DS will manage a hell of a lot on its comparatively minuscule tech specs (look at the Wii, and remember that it's running on a much-rumoured 729 MHz, single core CPU, and has only 88MB RAM, and compare that to the 360's 3.2GHz triple-core & 512MB, and either the Wii should be capable of a lot less, or the 360 should be doing a lot more).

That's the same tech demo they used for the iOS, 'Epic Citadel'. It doesn't look any different either though I'm sure it makes full use of the capabilities of the NGP.

This has got to be the daftest comment I have ever viewed on these threads! Compare the likes of Crysis 2/Gears of War2 to what...Super Mario Galaxy? No difference really is there

Who cares about graphics. Ive got this awesome heldheld called an Etch A Sketch. That renders out at about 60fpd (60 frames per day), but it's great fun.

LOL yeah. Maybe AJDarkstar is playing everything on a 14inch SD tv. That could possibly explain such a mental comment.

I wonder if the PSP 2 is more flexible in using it's processor cores compared to the PS3 and it's cells?

if only Epic was this interested in the PS3. when was the last decent Epic game for PS3 ?

You really can't use SMG as a comparison to Crysi s2 and Gears though. That's like comparing Van Gogh to Monet. Totally different styles.
