The guy talking is called John Carmack... Founder of id Software! He is allowed to brag and he sure do have the right to tell how great he is... Thats my opinion anyway

You should go look him up...

Its a shame it costs to much to develop a game like this for a phone because developers will simply not see a return on the investment. I can't see somebody shelling out the cost of a PSP game for an app especially when games feel downright wrong without any tactile feedback.]]>Aug 12th 2010 9:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/12/carmack-blows-minds-with-id-softwares-rage-running-on-iphone-a/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/12/carmack-blows-minds-with-id-softwares-rage-running-on-iphone-a/Aug 12th 2010 9:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/12/carmack-blows-minds-with-id-softwares-rage-running-on-iphone-a/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/12/carmack-blows-minds-with-id-softwares-rage-running-on-iphone-a/Aug 12th 2010 10:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/12/carmack-blows-minds-with-id-softwares-rage-running-on-iphone-a/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/12/carmack-blows-minds-with-id-softwares-rage-running-on-iphone-a/Aug 12th 2010 10:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/12/carmack-blows-minds-with-id-softwares-rage-running-on-iphone-a/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/12/carmack-blows-minds-with-id-softwares-rage-running-on-iphone-a/
Why not?

He probably did more than anyone to invent first person shooters one of the most popular genres of gaming, he also pushed hardware to the limit, got hardware makers to keep up and made many of the innovations we take for granted now.]]>Aug 12th 2010 10:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/12/carmack-blows-minds-with-id-softwares-rage-running-on-iphone-a/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/12/carmack-blows-minds-with-id-softwares-rage-running-on-iphone-a/
Because no one wants to make a super awesome game for the iPhone. Apple might kick you out of the app store and all your hard work might disappear.

To add to your point, ATI and NVidia will and have made changes to their graphics drivers in response to Carmack's comments and feedback.]]>Aug 12th 2010 11:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/12/carmack-blows-minds-with-id-softwares-rage-running-on-iphone-a/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/12/carmack-blows-minds-with-id-softwares-rage-running-on-iphone-a/Man... nVidia and ATI have modelled their graphics hardware in order to be able to improve the speed on the software implementions by Carmack. Normal bump mapping was implemented for QuakeII while ATI and nVidia were still fighting on supporting larger textures. Programmable vertex shaders were there first on QuakeIII while ATI and nVidia were still fighting over a faster fixed transform pipeline.

I would be proud to go and learn from the master.

I have no sound so I don't here the comments, but I don't see any evidence of that.
Anyway, to me it looks more like really really beautifully designed textures than like technical breakthrough.
