Right there with you brah! I am so god damn stoked for this game. Been saving my monies patiently for this title. BRING IT ON!!! "It's about time" *Terran Marine Voice* LOL
On an individual unit or background environment basis the graphics aren't amazing, but being an RTS game that isn't as important. If these reduced graphics mean the engine can handle hundreds or even thousands of units on screen at the same time without chugging than that is sufficiently impressive for now. Especially if the AI, both at an overall strategic level and at the unit level, remains smart despite large numbers of units late game. I wonder if Gameloft will be supporting 2nd gen and older devices in this game? It definitely makes sense here to require 3rd gen devices and up if it allows the scope and scale of the game to be bigger.
Hahaha classic. My favorite voice over was always the bitchy vulture driver xD. 'yeah, what do you want...sarge?' Ahh, can't wait to kick ass in this game :]. nothing better than a good online rts.
Yeah Vultures always made me laugh. I always liked the medic's voices. "Now... Turn your head and cough!" LOL Definitely man. Some of the most competative play I have ever been involved in has been with RTS games, namely Starcraft. The adrenaline from those games outshines any major FPS game battle for me.
Finally it has a release date! time to buy an itunes card...again Anyone dissapointed with dodgy kiddified graphics??? would have preffered a darker look to the game, and i bet it will be the usual £3.99 grrrr Will still buy of course lol
Doubtful. I think the graphics look awesome. Really Starcraft 2 esque, and that's what I am attracted too.
^No competition there. Rts is the paragon of online gaming for me and has been since nearly 10 years ago. Definitely having high hopes right now.
Me too. This is a bold title for Gameloft. If done correctly, it could be a major turnaround for RTS titles on iOS.
I really don't care if it's freemium. Anything to help fight piracy if you ask me. It doesn't affect anything negatively to the average consumer really.
Ah well, this is the end for me. I can't upgrade, or at least I don't want to until this September. I don't exactly have money to throw around either. Definitely getting the iPod Touch 5th gen though. Not going to play Apple's game of getting a new device every year or every other year.
yeah the free with iap model isnt bad at all for regular consumers, nothing at all to complain about as it doesnt affect us really, yes i know all the arguments but they are all trivial. it only affects pirates and even than not that much. with a UDID changer and a little copy and paste of some files, and game is pirated again...just as in sacred odysseys case. they need a better way to fight piracy, something that actually works.
Eff that man, this is my most hyped game since I got an iPod Touch January 2009. Seriously excited for this. $1500 after my first purchase in the AppStore and I finally find what I've been looking for on the iOS. Seriously excited as hell. Lol, I own every GL game to date and have always bought them on debut day, but if they fudge this one up, I think I'll pass on future GL games..not that it matters to them, heh, but yeah. Damn, that's a bummer. I'm guessing this require 3rd gen. and up then :\? Catch you around then I guess before we catch another game... ------------ By the way, that video looks kick-ass!!!
It looks like Starfront will be free + IAP after all... http://www.slidetoplay.com/story/starfront-collision-ipad-hands-on-preview
