N-Gage games to equal PC games
Nokia eyes cross-platform titles
Steps to Take Before Choosing a Business Continuity Partner
Nokia has started development on at least one cross-platform game, codenamed "Project White Rock", which will offer an identical experience on PCs and N-Gage mobile phones, Pocket Gamer reports.
RedLynx is, apparently, developing the title, which will run at the same resolution on both devices, and features over 1,000 lines of recorded dialog. Whether PC gamers will be forbidden from using a mouse, or more than a dozen keys, isn't recorded.
The most popular mobile phone games often ape their desktop cousins - sharing branding and parts of the gameplay, though few developers would claim the mobile experience is as good as that possible with a decent screen, speakers, and controller.
Making the game identical on both platforms would seem akin to madness, but having seen Qualcomm demonstrate a phone connected to a dance mat, and state its intention to create phones to complete with the Playstation 3, we're reluctant to state there's anything a mobile phone can't do.
Project White Rock might demonstrate just what the N-Gage platform is capable of, but a PC version is going to have a hard time competing against other titles which aren't hamstrung by trying to maintain a mobile-phone experience. ®

resolution != size
They could both have the same resolution e.g. DPI, but still have different screen sizes.
Or maybe they meant about the polygon mesh 'resolution' in the models rendered to the screen ?
It's all marketing waffle, I dunno why on earth it counts as news.
N-Gage - Available at most Car Boot Sales
I thought the N-Gage died with the Gizmondo because they only sold 5 consoles worldwide Well if Nokia want to throw money down the drain, I'll have a free N95 please, oh and chuck in a PS3 so I can play proper games on.
As above
Run at the same resolution? So I have the choice of:
1) Squinting to play a game (probably crap, from experience) that takes up a tiny percentage of my desktop.
2) Playing HL2, Counterstrike, Prey, F.E.A.R., etc.
Hmmm..... Difficult choice!
