One of the next games I make for the iPhone will be a TD game. The over-saturation kinda worries me but I'm pretty sure I have enough ideas to stop it from being another samey clone.
Great to see they pulled this one off well. Been meaning to check it out on PC but would much rather play it on the go.
@ all above. Your comments are illogical and useless.
Arguments levelled against the UE3 engine are pretty much all to do with it not being so great for 360/PS3 due to being outdone by other tech on those systems, but on iPhone there is NOTHING else at that level. MAYBE unity, maybe...
So how is it not a good thing?
They put some hard work in to make an SDK/engine for iPhone dev (and iPad) that'll allow some really cool apps down the line.
I...
This is incredible!
It's as though.....and this is gonna sound crazy...maybe it appeals different to people with different tastes!
Is that possible?
Has that ever happened before?
The ability to show no lag in a demo is miles away from a promise that end users will get the same.
A lot of people are on slow line speeds, and a lot of frequent problems will be created by congestion, peak load times, differing contention ratios, etc...
I think onLive could have legs when the word is upgraded to mega fibre-optics of doom. Present day infrastructure will badly hurt its mainstream potential.
Console Civ was utterly terrible. Hope they increase the scope and bring back some of the better oldschool features if 5 is bound for PS3/360.

^ current (ish) smartphone market share. iPhone doesn't have the "throne" to begin with. Not only that, but Android is what's suppose to be the big new player coming up this and as yet it barely even registers.
Windows phones are going to have to be pants-sh1ttingly spectacular to take a major chunk of that pie in any small timeframe...
All I'll is:
Look for some better HD screens of KZ2 around the internet, because GB's choices are really awful.
Reach does look awesome though yes.
I think the trick is just ignoring fanboys. They rarely have anything useful to add.
What's Gaming Bolt playing at?
They are absolutely the worst captures of Killzone 2 I can imagine. I could take some grabs just out of the MULTIPLAYER levels that look infinitely better than those images. Let alone along the SP campaign there are some insanely great moments visually that would all be worthy of focusing on.
I've still never seen a FPS game that even touches KZ2 graphically. Especially when you see it in motion, the post processing and overall treatmen...
Isn't the PS3 vs 360 fanboy stuff kinda old fashioned now?
Seriously why does anyone still care...
Any time there's an article making points against something, or even just a bit of fun, it's ACTIVATE MEGA DEFENCE SQUAD!
Not enough chillin' out going on.
I didn't watch the vid, but responding purely to the blurb...
I kind of agree.
2009 was such an awesome year for PS3. I'm still completely hooked on Killzone 2 and Demon's Souls, not to mentioned all the time I'm still yet to pour into Uncharted 2, and a whole heap of stuff I'm backlogged with for lack of time.
It's a good thing too, because 2010 looks completely uninteresting to me. Maybe late in the year it'll be good but for probably the first 6-9 mon...
Yes. N4G should be ruled with an IRON FIST OF CENSORSHIP!
How dare you post this article discussing the iPad reaction?
THERE WILL BE BLOOD!
Here's a few things people may or may not realise about Flash:
* Input Differences:
Most Flash sites and games have rollovers based on the mouse position, and input based on key presses. The iPhone has no passive cursor position (only touch and drag), and it's virtual keyboard cannot operate in the capacity as key-presses in any nice way. A whole lot of existing content would simply be incompatible with the device in any number of potentially major ways.
* Reso...
I know for a fact that Halo was made for the DS. The project was scrapped and buried, but there is actual gameplay footage of it. If you search into it you can find it.
Marathon (Bungie's older FPS IP) was also ported to the DS, by a different developer, and that too was scrapped, buried, forgotten, gone.
So, I say this rumour is very very unlikely, but don't discount the fact that there might be some crazy coders out there that have done it anyway, just for fun. Sti...
Love that Killzone 2 is getting some recognition. Superb online play.
I think ME2 will do well. I predict it's gonna be similar to how Uncharted 1 > Uncharted 2 progressed.
Uncharted 1 was loved by many but was also considered flawed and could have done better in reviews, Then UC2 came along and blew everyone away. ME2 is probably an equally big step up on its predecessor and will make a lot of people very happy.
@Traveler, you're missing the point.
The absolute furthest extent a console can be pushed graphically is something that remains to be seen up until the very final release in the console's life.
Maybe the 360 can do better, maybe the PS3 can do better, maybe they're both at maximum. No one knows that.
What I find amazing is that there are so many defensive-sounding people that look at this SCRIPTED CINEMATIC trailer and immediately jump on the "WOW T...
Huh? Can you even decide what you're saying?
Graphics are less important than gameplay. Yes. But then you say PS3 fanboys will be proven wrong by Bungie because they have only seen a trailer. Which you have also only seen.
Failsauce.
I think the issue people are taking is that Hypetrains are just always ridiculous. PS3 has taken its fair share of sh!t for over the top hype too don't forget.
It really amazes me how many people have desperately latched onto the Halo: Reach trailer as a last ditch hope to feel like the 360 can stand up to the competition on a graphics level.
It's been outdone and left behind. The question of whether Halo: Reach can change that situation will only be answered when people actually see the GAME running, not a scripted cinematic sequence. Do people really not realise the difference? If you look at Uncharted's scripted cinematic cutscenes, ...
Well you know how hype goes... No reason to get excited unless all the ideas actually work in the execution :)
It definitely won't be on rails, and it definitely won't be another cookie cutter TD. Hopefully I can make it good.
I work alone too so it could take a year or more to actually get it done, plus I'm finishing a different game first (nearly done).
