While cloud-enabled gaming has the potential to deliver games like Crysis to smartphone screens in all their glory, owners of Palm webOS phones can do with far less for the time being. Palm is tying up with Epic Games in a bid to bolster the entertainment value of its webOS platform.
Epic has successfully ported its insanely popular Unreal Engine 3 to Palm's webOS just like it managed with the iPhone. It today demoed the game engine on a Palm Pre Plus at the ongoing Game Developers Conference in San Francisco.
This means that developers will be able to leverage Epic's popular game engine in combination with Palm's new Plug-in Development Kit (PDK) to develop more powerful games for webOS phones. Unlike on the iPhone, games running on a webOS phone can be pushed to the background as the user engages with other apps.
