'Hill Billy' (First Person Shooter) Looks Impressive
posted November 15th, 2008 11:08 PM EST by arn in Upcoming GamesForum member fusionXdeveloper points out an impressive looking preview of an upcoming iPhone game called Hill Billy.
Hill Billy is a first person shooter that uses the accelerometer for movements. The Mahatma graphics engine support full normal mapping lighting for a result never seen before on a mobile device. This is a sneak preview of weapons and scenarios graphics. Coming soon on the App Store…
While we've seen a few example of first person shooters being demoed for the iPhone, but none have made it to the App Store yet:
all I can say is like wow!! But when it's comin out? When is all this fps demo ever comin out!!?
(
cool!
but everyone keeps announcing these FPS but i have to see one.
chances are, we'll never see this. Its a japanese developer, so it will most likely be bound only to japanese appstores, so only way would be either to have a japanese account with jap credit card, or a jailbroken phone/ipod with hacked ipa
If this comes out it will be sweet. But, please tell me it has outdoor environments as the corridor shooter is very confining.
I'm highly skeptical of FPS games on the iPhone. I don't doubt it's possible, but I'm very used to the high-precision setup of dual sticks on consoles. If it's kept simple (a la Doom) it could work better, but even then … I'm still doubtful.
I'm not skeptical because of the lack of controls compared to consoles, 'cause I never really cared for the contemporary console dual setup, but I'm highly skeptical of FPS games on the iPhone because I can't browse more than 3 webpages without Safari crashing on me.
seems ideal…tho why ya would wander around abandoned buildings with heavy firepower and nothing to shoot at is beyond me. Maybe the red pepper is useful tho…
I think it was a carrot……
Yeah, what's with the Pepper? Are you supposed to be like "Back off Man! I am WAY too spicy for you!"
