Iphone graphics vs 3DS graphics

Alright so we know when it comes to handheld graphics, Vita is pretty much king. But Iphones and Ipod touches have incredible graphics chips capable of beautiful visuals.
As I own an ipod touch 3G and Iphone 4 I am looking at the best looking games on them and comparing them to that of my 3DS.

The best on the I devices are

Infinity Blade


I shall compare this game to Kid Icarus.


Straight off the bat you can tell that Infinity Blade looks better. To be fair there aren't any screens of Kid Icarus that do it justice and in fact, Kid Icarus performs better than Infinity Blade. Infinity Blade runs fine on Iphone 4 but on 3G you'll encounter slowdown from time to time. Kid Icarus runs smoothly without any noticable lag at all.
Kid Icarus' gameplay is also a lot less linear than IB which plays like a minigame. Kid Icarus has inferior character models, certainly, but at points in the game you'll be fighting enemies 20 times your size and have loads of enemies flooding the screen at once in large well detailed areas.
So Infinity Blade looks better immediately, but in the long term Kid Icarus truly juices the system a lot more and performs more like a console game. Also the special effects are beautiful.

When it comes to shooters, the best looking one on i-devices (that isn't stripped down to bare bones like RAGE) is no doubt shadowgun. The game looks beautiful with its HD graphics. I shall compare it to one of the best looking handheld games ever... Resident Evil Revelations on 3DS.

The character models look more "realistic" than those on RE:R which have a more distinctive style

That being said, the texture and effects quality of Revelations blows Shadowgun out the water in this area.
In terms of the environments it is harder to compare

Resident Evil Revelations looks stunning but I think overall the quality of some parts of the environment in Shadowgun looks better. But Revelations also has much more interesting/varied environments with more clutter and such.

It's hard to decide a winner in terms of environment but overall Revelations wins.
Aw dont worry Shadowgun, you beat Resident Evil 4 iphone at least!
(but then again even resident evil mercenaries wins against that )

Infinity Blade looks amazing on the iPhone.

Epic Citadel impressed me more because it didn't feel so stripped down (ironic considering it is just a graphics showcase).

Why are you comparing a phone to a gaming device? The iphone doesnt have the best gpu of the phones, and the 3DS isnt the most powerful handheld gaming device either...

Currently on the market the Vita is more powerful. And the most powerful phones are HTC One X and Samsung Galaxy SIII.

3DS: 400x240

Iphone: 640×960

You cant really compare them in anywhy when it comes to graphics. Its like comparing Xbox/PS2 to Full HD.

I know vita's more powerful ^ I wanted to see which has the best graphics of the two handhelds I mentioned as they are both pretty close.

I've never seen any HTC One X /Samsung Galaxy SIII games in action so it would be entirely pointless for me to do this.

As for the Galaxy

Processor
The iPhone 4S is Apple's first dual core smartphone running on a 1GHz ARM Cortex-A9 based processor with Apple's own A5 chipset and a PowerVR SGX543MP2 graphics processing unit (GPU).

Running iOS, this setup glides along without a care in the world. That's partly due to the fact it's a powerhouse and partly the excellent optimisation of iOS, but either way, you're not going to see any chugginess here.

Just as the iPhone 4S is Apple's first dual core, the Galaxy S3 is Samsung's first quad core device. It's ARM Cortex-A9 based and runs Samsung's latest Exynos 4212 chip clocked at 1.4GHz with a Mali-400MP GPU.

Like its opponent, this processor build runs very fast and we didn't encounter any stuttering when we used it at Samsung's unveiling.

Samsung may have crammed a more impressive sounding processor into its handset but the performance output is, relatively speaking, comparable. They both offer excellent performance on their respective operating systems.

Winner - Draw

Wow it has about the same graphics standard. Like I give a fuck. I have an iphone 4s so I might as well make a comparison. I don't have a galaxy or whatever else you want me to use.

Lykos, Why so many comparison threads? Just go play your 3DS if you love it so much.

^ True words. ^

Because if you make a thread it means you aren't playing your system? :what:

Fail logic much?

EDIT: Just checked my 3DS software "hours played". I've played approximately 300 hours in total on my 3DS. Considering I got it just 5 months ago and have been extremely busy with university assignments (and getting drunk almost every day) and of course making "so many comparison threads", that's pretty fucking good.

When they cant be compared? Like the iphone and 3ds...

When you compare the same thing to something else, like, every fucking time.

:areyoufuckingk Lykos, I never said you didn't play your 3DS. You just make too many comparison threads, you've basically run out of things to compare it with the PSVita and now you're comparing it to the Iphone. :fuckthat:

If you don't like my threads, don't go on them.
:derp:

If you think the iphone is a handheld games console then you should be executed. Clues in the name people, iPHONE.

Dual core processor. Need I say more?

100% of people who own iphones do everything but phone people. Plus all of them are complete tools.

I moaned about the iphone for ages, then I got one for nowt and have found more reasons to moan about them... Fucking apple.

I never said I didn't like them. It comes off like if you're trying to justify your purchase of your 3DS, you compared it to the PSVita in about everything and now you're comparing to the iPhone.

Even though I show games on a phone that looks twice as good :derp:
