I came across this video of a supposed Quake 3 port to the iPhone/iPod Touch yesterday. From my quick detective skills, it looks like the work of a Canadian developer from Hermitworks.
This could all be a complete fabrication for all I know, but goddamn do I want to believe its veracity. The framerate looks very smooth and bodes well for the iPhone/iPod touch as able gaming devices, at least graphically. The controls, on the other hand, seem to be pretty awkward for a twitch shooter like Quake 3.
I wouldn’t plan on beating fatal1ty on your iPhone, but at least you can say your phone runs Quake 3! We might have to update the age old tech gadget question to: “Yeah, but can it run Doom 3?”
