More news coming out from Nvidia during SIGGRAPH 2013 but this time instead of it being hardware related with showing off their upcoming Kepler GPU along with Project Logan which, when their forces are combined, create Voltron… I mean Tegra 5. This bit of news is in regards to software being shown off running on the Kepler GPU and it isn’t some little game engine or anything like that.
A couple of weeks ago we talked about Gameloft and Fox Entertainment who happen to look like they are becoming quite close friends since they keep teaming up for new games to release onto Android. The one we happened to be talking about then is a new game called Epic which happens to now be available on Google Play.
Gameloft and Fox Entertainment seem to have a pretty nice relationship going in regards to bringing movie spin-off games to mobile and the two companies are once again teaming up for another game that will be heading to Android and iOS soon called Epic. This particular game will be based off of the upcoming animated movie of the same name.
For whatever particular reason Epic Games has decided to release a new video showing off Epic Citadel on Android but this time on Intel’s Z2580 dual-core Atom processor. Recently release onto Google Play, Epic Citadel is basically an interactive tech demo where users can move around and explore some of the areas in the universe where the Infinity Blade series takes place, this mostly being a castle and the town inside the walls of said castle.
We’ve talked numerous times in the past how Epic and their games division have not released, nor ever had plans to release, anything on Google Play. It’s been a topic of conversation here on the site plenty of times and how we have always felt that it is stupid that they don’t release anything for Android, only iOS. So imagine our surprise when we got a tip saying that Epic Citadel was now available on Google Play.
Niklas Smedberg of Epic Games made an interesting statement during GDC Europe 2012 citing that mobile is now the new PC in terms of gaming. This is a fact we have been saying for the past year and a half at least but that is besides the point. It is interesting in that this is coming from Epic Games and the statement goes as far as saying that right now mobile is “starting to competing with current consoles”.
We have reported on this numerous times as well as did a little bashing of Epic and Chair Entertainment for their decision to never bring the Infinity Blade series to Android. It is something we have come to terms with. That’s why if you have been following us for any length of time, then you would instantly be suspicious of Infinity Blade II being on Google Play.
We haven’t flogged the Unreal Engine horse enough lately so it is about time we gave it another round. This comes courtesy of Alan Willer, Epic Games’ senior technical artist who has mentioned that the upcoming Unreal Engine 4 won’t be coming to current-gen smartphones and tablets.
While a lot of gaming media may not have heard about Pitbull Studio, a game development company in Britain that specializes in getting hired out for specific projects, anyone who owns a Tegra-based Android device should be familiar with the name Pitbull Studio.
Well here is some news that could very well be of great interest to use Android users who also enjoy playing games. Adobe and Epic have teamed up and announced that the Unreal Engine 3 will now support the new Flash 11 from Adobe. Could we see Unreal Flash games on Android soon?
