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.

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.

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.

F*CH

You, sir Joe, are a retard.

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!

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?

That IS a game for sure. It's an N-GAGE game called "ONE". Go on 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...

ICdragon

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

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.

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

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!!!!!!!!
