A cell phone game can look like this?

By Spencer . May 17, 2006 . 11:10am

Nokia is serious about bringing the N-Gage platform back. Just look at this video from Who’s Next, the sequel to the recently released fighting game One. The footage is not pre-rendered it is real time on a new Nokia phone. Who’s next took advantage of motion capturing technology to make a realistic 3D fighter. The designers are proud that every move in the game can be performed in real life, if you’re an expert martial artist. Who’s next adds in weapons like nunchucks as seen in the demo along with fighting styles like Jeet Kun Do. Still in the works are customization options. Players will be able to customize their character to some degree by adding on accessories. Nokia hopes that players will be able to use texture mapping to design their own costumes. However, that feature may or may not be available in the final build.

    OH. MY. GOD. This looks awesome! I can’t believe my eyes, amazing what they pulled off. I do wonder how the controlls are though, since playing with the buttons on a cellphone is not that great in my opinion.

    Who wants to play on a little tiny screen on the phone.

    Not bad. Kids will love it.

    MAD GRAPHICS FOR A CELL PHONE, THATS FOR DAMN SURE. WHO WOULDN’T PLAY IT ON THE TINY SCREEN IF NOTHING ELSE WAS AT HAND.

    AWESOME, NEVER KNEW N-GAME HAS GAMES LIKE THIS. GOOD WAY TO PASS THE TIME IN CLASS. MOTO RACER 3D FOR NOKIA ALSO HAS GOOD GRAPHICS.

  • Cluff

    oh great another reason to pay 200+ for a cell phone with a 3″ screen at best!

  • benjamin

    that is quite good indeed, I would consider purchasing an n91…. if they sold them here!

    This cant be a in game video clip. The camera moves around way to much and is at really bad angles for actually playing the game. (good for a cinamatic view though) and the colision detection is way too good. looks almost better than some of the xbox 360 games. IF it is really in game graphics then i will admit it does look good, sound efx seem solid. lighting and shadows are great. you even get the sun glare! and thats why i dont think its real in game footage sorry guys im a little skeptical.

    You, sir Joe, are a retard.

  • Ronnie

    Better than xb360 ? wtf!! are you stupid or something?

    camera moves around ?? are you stupid ?? this is not a GAME presentation, might not even be a game at all, this is just to demonstrate the speed and kind of quality to expect from the gfx chip.

    Tip: don’t host quality/detail performance videos on YouTube, because theu’re always choppy streams and deliberately less quality than a downloadable file. Just give me an mpeg or something.

    I’ve never really seen the good in playing games on such a tiny screen, people who do look like they’ve got nothing better to do than to get their fix on with a freaking cell phone outside of the house. Go to a bookstore, strike up a conversation!

  • mr. x

    i’d like to know more about the music in this promo. googling for “rodriguez oksanen ibuprophet” doesn’t reveal anything. anybody know anything about the song or artist?

  • Francesco

    That IS a game for sure. It’s an N-GAGE game called “ONE”. Go on http://www.n-gage.com and you’ll see. If you look at the latest Nokia phones’ games you’ll see that nokia is converting a lot of the N-Gage titles on the N-series phones…

  • matt

    can’t help but to wonder how you’re going to control all those awesome looking 3D games in the tiny space constraint of a cell phone.

  • ICdragon

    Damn that looks much better then the DS, almost up to par with PSP graphics…

  • nokiafanboy

    This is a real game. The new N series phones are about 3x more powerful than the N-Gage. Take One for N-Gage and imagine three times the polys on each model, three times the lighting, better shadows etc..

    Yea this looks about right.

    there’s actually a lot of cell phone games like this outside of the u.s. it’s funny I was just reading Jon Carmack’s comments on developing elves and orcs for u.s. cell phones and was thinking of the games I saw in korea which are similar to what you have here. There’s a lot of competing platforms for who will be the next gen cell gaming platform and cell games are 10X or more bigger outside of the u.s. in europe or asia.

  • Guruma

    Its on next generations of Nseries that will be out in 2007 year! For now its only for N93 (google it) – it has really good design for playing, u play it like GBA SP or DS. Why camera movement is weird… maybe coz game is in early stage of development and its only press material. Its renderred in real time on N93 – thats how game look now and to its premiere gfx will prolly be even better. Its actual fight played and camera angles is changed for purpose of creating cool trailer.
    Its no fake!
    For now only on N93

    you are all retards gaming features like that will not fit on a phone with a maximum of 50mb so dont believe this load of rubish!!!

  • gah

    hey monkeycrapforbrains:
    The Nokia N93 features large internal memory of up to 50 MB, which can be further expanded with a hot swap miniSD card of up to 2 GB

    also:
    3.2 megapixel camera with Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar lens, DVD-like video capture and 3x optical zoom and up to 20x digital zoom, as well as autofocus and close-up mode

    Folks,

    A.) This is real footage
    B.) The N93 has a TV out socket. This means you get to see and play this game not only on the built in screen on the phone (which is already large) but on whatever size screen you plug it into
    C.) The N93 really does record digital camcorder quality video, at 30fps, has a full web browser, 3.2 megapxiel camera, plays any sound format, has full Symbian OS (so is a multitasking computer) – plug this baby into a TV/monitor and use a bluetooth keyboard, and the built in QuickOffice for Symbian and you can edit MS Word, Excel, Powerpoint etc.
    D.) Yes, this really is a full computer in the form of a cellphone, and well under 200grams in weight, and the size of cellphone.
    E.) Get used to it :)

  • Zalien

    Well, I’ll believe it when I see it on a camera.

  • dsfargeg

    The >>>footage

  • Kung Fu Joe

    It’s a real game and it will look as good as this clip – if not better. The guy who did all the martial arts is a totally mental guy from Glasgow called tommy carruthers. Who by all accounts it feckin lethal, it would be good to see his stuff in PS3 or xbox, I think he’d make big changes in a tired genre that needs some creative ass kicking moves that really work in real life.

    Let’s see him do PS3!!!!!!!!
