Last month in Tokyo, Tim Sweeney presented Unreal Engine 3 for Sony's next generation portable system. That build is now available for licensing.

"We were very proud to be onstage with SCE to give the world just a taste of what Unreal Engine 3 can do on NGP," said Mark Rein, vice president of Epic Games. "NGP raises the bar for the performance of handheld platforms with its multi-core GPU and shader-based, multi-core CPU. This makes Unreal Engine 3 a particularly advantageous fit for NGP. Furthermore, multiple UE3 licensees are already working with NGP, some of which have indicated they intend to release their games for the platform's launch."

"We see NGP as a true game-changer with a perfect combination of performance, innovative controls and gamer appeal that make it truly a high-end console in your pocket," said Sweeney.

Not too surprising an announcement (plus the change to UDK licensing) with GDC starting in a couple days. Sony's supposed to be doing a lot of talking about the NGP during the conference too.

You can tell Sony handed over Sweeney's presentation to their marketing team before they handed it over to him for the presentation.
I love the part where he has to sigh. :lol:
