Let's say you took an NGP phone and made four versions of it. 'If you took the underlying NGP hardware and shipped Android on it, you'd find far far less performance on Android. That's what held us off of Android,' said Rein. 'When a consumer gets the phone and they wanna play a game that uses our technology, it's got to be a consistent experience, and we can't guarantee that. Currently, Google allows mobile networks and handset distributors almost free-reign with the open source Android platform, leading to some performance disparity. Speaking in an interview with Gizmodo, Rein and Sweeney spoke about the need for the infamously hands-off Google to exert more control over their platform to make sure that consistency becomes reality.
Epic co-founders Tim Sweeney and Mark Rein have said not to expect a version of the iOS title Infinity Blade on Android systems yet, as the platform doesn't offer enough consistency to guarantee performance.
