No telling how really real this is because it’s just a teaser video, but we have what appears to be a Mario Kart-like game for the iPhone. It’s apparently being developed by France’s int13, but I found no mention of the game itself on the company’s site. The steering wheel looks interesting and the little cursor appears to perhaps control your kart’s acceleration depending upon whether it’s positioned higher or lower on the wheel.
The game looks pretty nice. The iPhone is supposedly going to be a premier gaming device due to superior graphics, hardware and interface. I find it hard to believe since it doesn’t have dedicated buttons and such, but I still hope it comes true.
Nice way to spend your time running the juice out of your iPhone battery. There should be some power management program that doesn’t allow you to play games or videos when you’re below a certain battery charge percentage. Just so the battery doesn’t crap out when you need to make an emergency telephone call.
What about Wii-like motion controls, like those that were previewed at the iPhone SDK Roadmap event (http://www.apple.com/quicktime/qtv/iphoneroadmap/)? Instead of using a multi-touch steering wheel, they could use the accelerometer. This game’s pretty useless until they add that capability.
