I actually disagree. Playing on 3 inch screen is pretty comfortable once you get used to it. Also, all of those IPhail shooter games have optimized controls that make the game much smoother and fun.

That's a really smart move that Epic is making by the way, since mobile entertainment industry is where all the consumer money go nowadays, not to mention that the engine will be definitely licensed by game-developers. Hopefully something goo comes out of this one.

Something also tells me that this is they bail-out plan given current economic crisis. :tongue: But that's a totally different topic...

Looks good but at same time gimmick. Maybe because I haven't played any shooters on such handheld devices.
