Apple has today moved closer to taking on Sony and Nintendo in the handheld market by placing a strong focus on games at its unveiling of it software developers kit of the iPhone.
At the town hall event at the company's headquarters, Apple announced support for OpenGL, OpenAL, and 3dimensional sound, all standards that gamers currently develop in.
In a move to overcome the limitations of no joystick Apple has given developers access to the mobile phone's accelerometer, a technology that allows the phone to sense were it is on three axes and response accordingly. The move will allow gamers to move the iPhone to move a character or vehicle on screen.
Leniu Games has started taking pre-registrations of its Nordic fantasy open world MMO, Flame of Valhalla. This game features the War of Gods erupted in the mystical realm of Asgard, known as the land of gods as seen in various movies and TV series. The game is expected to release in first half of May 2024.
PAGA GAMES has come up with a new addition to the famous Dark Riddle series of games. The newest addition, Dark Riddle 3 – Strange Hill, is released in early access for Android devices. Its global release and iOS release will occur at the end of this month.
The new Nintendo-focused emulator for the iPhone is now available with support for several classic systems.
Sued for what? It's just an emulator no ROMs are with it. ROMs are easy to get anyway, but with iPhone you can't just copy and paste like Android unless it's jail broken I think. Anyway Nintendo should be more concerned with their ROMs up to torrent for years for all of their concoles, but then again they can't do nothing about it, they never will and I love it. 🤣
Won't belong before Nintendo bangs on Apple's door to have the emu removed. Like I say you take down one six more take it's place. Problem is people are putting emu's on such stupid platforms. The good emus are the ones not on stupid platforms like a red target. The good emu's are word of mouth and keep a low profile.
I see... Visions of the Apple Newton flashing in my head...
Accelerometer access????
AWESOME.
Can't wait for the june update, when all these beautiful apps that I bought the iTouch for will finally be available without worrying about cracking/bricking issues!
nice bonus to the iphone but compete against the ds? never in a million years.
but here we go again Sony and Nintendo fans..lol
of innovation. Apple is doing the right thing, but it probably won't do anything to loosen the PSP or DS stranglehold. However, 3D games on the iPhone will be another reason for me to pick one up, especially after it gets the 3G network.
