Epic Games is bringing its Unreal Engine 3 to the iPhone, an endeavor already in the tech demo phase.

The company's VP Mark Rein recently showed off a demo of a modified Unreal Tournament level running on iPod Touch, as technology site AnandTech reports. This version also works on iPhone 3GS -- but as it requires OpenGL ES 2.0, it doesn't work on the 2G or 3G.

I find it werid that instead of focusing on adapting UE3 for wii or making a UEwii they focus on the Iphone. The reason is that the iphone is more powerful the wii as its able to have custom shaders.

Epic told the site it has no plans to enter the iPhone game market itself, but is porting UE3 to the iPhone as one of many new initiatives within the company.

Rein also said that the iPhone UE3 can be made available to licensees "at some point in the near future," but not as part of the free Unreal Development Kit.

Rein also says to expect to see UE3 running on "another mobile platform entirely" as early as CES in January, with further announcements coming throughout 2010.

It isn't weird they aren't porting it to the Wii... they are porting it to the iPhone because they expect to make good money by licensing the engine to third parties... it's probably something other companies have been asking them to do... the decision is clearly money lol

In gaming, the Nintendo Wii is indeed more powerful then the Iphone, so I don't see why they choose to avoid it.

Businesses are in the business of making money. If they think they can make a profit by supporting UE3/Wii then they would do it. I don't get why you don't get it.
