Portal Unofficially Ported to iPhone?

Fake.
Why?

1. Frame-rates
2. Visual details

3. As stated by others; media player + disabled touch = fakers wet dream.
Don't you kids remember when they mentioned Halo for Nintendo DS? Xbox 360-quality Splinter Cell: Double Agent on PlayStation Portable?

It's when sites, like Shacknews and all others, bring this obviously fake materials up as news the interest of gaining attention by faking footage grabs a strong foot-hold.

I'm calling fake.

1. I've played my share of shooters on the 3G. They do not have that level of detail, nor do they approach those frame rates.

2. The control inputs don't reflect the motion properly. Watch the thumbs and how the game reacts. The second movement in the video is the right thumb moving straight down rather quickly, yet the game interprets this as a slow pan down and to the right?

Most likely a jail broken phone with a custom icon setup to load a video. Nice trick though. Enjoy your 15 minutes of fame.

Clone perhaps, port not.

I was listening to the Stack Overflow podcast on the way in and they were talking about Unity on the iPhone.

I don't think the Unity engine running on the iPhone is the same as the Unity engine that runs on PC's but apparently these guys actually have Mono running on the iPhone. Problem is, Apple won't let bytecode/interpreter-based apps onto the phone, since there's the possibility that you could use the interpreter to run other bytecode and that circumvents their App Store. So what the Unity guys did was get a JIT interpreter to export ARM-specific code and that's what they're releasing as apps.

Bottom line - once they get that working you could write games for the iPhone using C#/.NET (if I follow it correctly).

And apparently there's about 150+ apps on the App Store using Unity technology (for example, ZombieVille USA).

So I think this video is real - these guys know their shit and all it is is one room in Portal. Some dude implemented that in ASCII.

I don't think it means we'll ever see Portal on the iPhone but it probably will have the same attention that Ghostbusters clip from Zootfly did 3+ years ago - gets a lot of attention thrown their way.

Watching this video reaffirms my belief that this kind of gaming on a 3" widescreen that is partially covered with your fingers to control SUCKS.

this post is a disgrace to this site.

Ahh I don't think so. Make an app to launch video and disable touch screen = done.

Wow, someone can load a video of portal on his iphone, may as well toss final fantasy 13 video on there too

loooks hella fake.
it boots up uber quick. hes just randomly touching the screen making portals and moving shit. i dont buy it

Probably real, but there's no way you could adequately play that on an iPhone. Look how slow and how much this guy is struggling with just 2 portals and a cube.

That nice, too bad it will never go to the apple store unless valve actually made this.

looks real but there are parts of that game that would be close to impossible on iPhone I reckon.

Looks real.

Looks real to me.
