    • EPIC’s Citadel on Sony NGP… the future for iPhone 5?

    Check out this comparison video of Epic’s Citadel running on the new Sony NGP (left) and the iPhone 4 (right). While the quality of the NGP video is bad (believe me it looks way better!) The NGP version boasts improved visuals, such as lighting, particle and crowd effects, and is a much larger citadel. Interestingly the NGP utilises an Arm A9 Cortex chip, the same as the chip rumoured to be in the iPhone 5 as the A5 chip. So, will we see a similar quality of gaming as seen on the NGP (similar in PS3 quality) on the iPhone 5? Of course it’s not all about CPU, the NGP features a quad core GPU too, but we could see similar specs on the next iPhone. And with NGP not releasing until the holidays, we may see it sooner when Apple announce the iPhone 5 in the summer.

      ehh. NGP seems cool, but I dont think im going to buy another handheld console unless i change my mind after both the nextgen handhelds come out :P

      The A9 in the NGP twill be quad-core as well, not just the GPU.

      @Jay. The purpose of the article is to state the next iPhone 5 could be the same power as the NGP, and be out sooner!

      I haven’t heard any more rumors on the new iphone 5 but i’ll tell you this i think the ipad2 is what apple is more focused on and that the iphone 5 will be similar to the minor improvement we saw from going from the 3g to the 3gs in the slightly faster approach and probably some miniscule updates to the software. NGP looks about 10x better and the games will be for serious gamers w/ actual creativity (gameloft :( plus it has buttons and dual analogs.

      So the NGP renders games to have snow. BIG DEAL!
