Asm.js needs fewer demos and more finished production applications. Apparently Epic isn't excited enough about this technology to release one of their games on the web.
- pcwalton 13y agoThere aren't even any native Unreal Engine 4 games out yet that I'm aware of: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Unreal_Engine_games#Unreal_Engine_4 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Unreal_Engine_games#Unr... That's the purpose of this demo: to show that the Web stack is ready even for upcoming AAA games, not just ones from a few years ago.
- Touche 13y agoBeing ready for games doesn't mean games will come, just as U3 games haven't come (except for the one that hasn't shipped yet). Would be nice if Epic shipped one of their games; why haven't they?
- zxcdw 13y agoDoesn't matter who ships, as long as it can be done without reasonable tradeoffs. The nature of the Web as we know it gives so many benefits in form of e.g. ease of deployment that it'd be outright wonder that there wouldn't soon be a rush of games exploiting the platform.
- rhelmer 13y agoThere is a link in this blog post to one from late last year that describes the first commercial game powered by asm.js being launched: https://blog.mozilla.org/blog/2013/12/12/first-3d-commercial-web-game-powered-by-asm-js-unveiled/ https://blog.mozilla.org/blog/2013/12/12/first-3d-commercial...
