Exit Games’ Neutron online multiplayer gaming platform comes to Apple iPhone

Wednesday, August 20, 2008 - 03:21 PM EDT

Exit Games has announced that its cross-platform multiplayer gaming service, Neutron, is now compatible with Apple's revolutionary iPhone. This new compatibility update allows game developers to integrate online multiplayer and social gaming features into iPhone games by using Neutron technology, as well as cross-platform capabilities between an iPhone and other mobile devices, PCs and game consoles.

Features of the Neutron multiplayer and social gaming platform include, among others:
• Real-time, turn-based and tournament multiplayer options
• Game lobbies and various matchmaking capabilities
• Buddy lists, leaderboards, profiles, etc.
• In-game voice and text chat
• Billing and in-game microtransactions

"The iPhone presents a very unique opportunity for mobile online gaming as it is both specifically designed for online services and comes with the App Store, an already successful and accessible distribution channel," said Christof Wegmann, CTO of Exit Games, in the press release. "Neutron’s support of this new and innovative mobile device will ensure that iPhone game developers have a means to take advantage of its wireless connectivity and add social gaming features," Wegmann said. “The iPhone will surely establish itself as a dominant mobile gaming platform and we’re pleased to support multiplayer and social features in games developed for the device."

So what does 'very unique' have that unique doesn't I wonder.

Aug 20, 08 - 04:28 pm Comment from: Scabby the Sailor

it's like unique, only very more.

Yeah, I'm automatically suspicious of any company executive who uses ungrammatical language like, "very unique." ugh.

I'm like, really super excited about this really, really very super unique service from exit Games for my iPhone. Really!

Roberto,
Really?

There's unique, uniquer, and uniquest, everybody nose that!

It sounds extremely unique but is it different or just uniquely unusual or unusually original or remarkably uncommon or simply quite unlike anything else?

Gaming terms like 'very unique' are simply lost on Mac (no games on this platform) users.

Wow, that sounds extremely unique. I like having games with matchmaking possibilities, it takes dating to a new extreme. I mean why go through the mess of real dating starting off by talking to someone face to face when you can play your games off the iPhone, send a text and go on from there.

I am glad to see Apple easing off the porno with this software's matchmaking capabilities. I am confident with new distinctively unique software apps like iVibe, the iMoan will be coming to and with the iPhone making for some of the most redundantly unique sexual experiences ever.

Maybe "very unique" is what you get when you cross "snappier" with "Enderle" in a blender. Oops... caffeine must've worn off. I'll go reboot my brain now.

Aug 20, 08 - 11:04 pm Comment from: iDon't

Its unique just like everything else.

"There's unique, uniquer, and uniquest, everybody nose that!"

And don't forget "uniquity"! It's everyone's favourite!

How do you catch a unique rabbit?
Unique up on it!
