Nova4Phone 3D engine for Windows Phone 7 shows what the WP7 GPU is capable of

August 18, 2010 | By Surur

French developers Vertice and Bewise have developed an application that allows 3D models from a variety of applications, including industry standards like Maya and Blender, to be imported and viewed in the device itself.

While that application by itself it a bit esoteric, it does show what is possible using XNA on Windows Phone 7, and shows that the quality of games will not be limited by using this higher-level language.

The possibility of having a Halo game is looking more possible. I can't wait for this phone I might just have to freeze myself like Eric Cartman when he could not wait for the Wii!

My god, if games can have graphics like that then PSP, DS the lot are all blown out of the water!

Am I missing something? The graphics looked pretty basic and not exactly smooth. And that's without all the stuff an actual game has to do, such as AI and keeping track of everything.

Hopefully MS will allow CPUs other than the SnapDragon pretty quickly, such as the HummingBird. And when the A9 hits things will get VERY interesting.

Doubt it just read this – "We're partnering really closely with Qualcomm so they're going to be the chip of choice… It will be a good experience with developers," says Brian Seitz, senior marketing manager for Windows Phone 7. http://www.gamasutra.com/view/news/29969/Intervie…

Actualy, you miss something : This is still a beta handset and the game engine has been created in a record time. It actually looks really smooth to me. About AI, this just a handful of conditions, not a lot of job to do for 512 Mb of RAM.
And again, it is a real time thing so in my opinion they did a really great job and they're gonna keep on increasing its quality as the phone becomes final release.
I send my best wishes to this development team, that might become the "Epic games" of he mobile platform.

Moving away from the original subject, I think xBox live mobile is a really good move from Microsoft since it brings a quality gaming, a controlled experience like on a psp. They are bringing the real video games market to phone.
