I seriously want to get that game.

Does this really warrant making a whole new thread? General discussion exists for a reason, you know.

There could just be a "Cool games in the App Store" thread. Seems like Locoguy is the only one here who plays games on iOS so it'd be a pretty one sided conversation.

It's not necessarily so if it's about remakes of popular console games.

Edit: Since this game is slightly a platformer, it makes me wonder why there isn't 3D platformers for mobile.

Because mobile controls are terrible for 3D platformers.

I fail to see a problem with touch controls and platforming. If there's any touch control scheme we should be concerned about, it's that of FPS's.

I...disagree completely. You can't possibly have the precision of a controller or mouse with a touchscreen for 3D platforming. Not knocking you or liking mobile games at all, but there's a reason they're not as respected as traditional gaming is. Touch controls for aiming would probably be the best case scenario--works similar to how Metroid Prime 3 worked with motion control aiming of the arm cannon. That still leaves the problem of your fingers covering up most of the screen, and moving your character any physical control input.

What if Spyro got on phones, though? You know that the camera is rarely in need of attention, right?

Paranoia · Nov 30, 2014 9:05 PM

True, active camera mode was pretty great. Touch controls would turn me away personally, but to each their own.

"...but to each their own" what? You lost me there.

The series are so gold on PS1 ^^. I haven't tried the 3D games on Xbox though. I just remember "Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee" and "Oddworld: Abe's Exoddus"

And btw, speaking of new game...

Everything gets remaked tongue or rereleased now. Like "Zelda Wind Waker" on WiiU(Originally Gamecube), WiiU version of Zelda Wind Waker costs the same as a new game. While the gamecube version is cheaper.

Remakes and remakes. I think new and old should be a better term. Too many reharshed games that people love, but it isnt actually new. So to pay for it again is kinda gullible. But i guess they get what they want.

So I actually started playing the game, and so far, the game is very good! Its controls are something that I just need to get adjusted to, but it also has a bit of an active camera for those "roaming" or platforming sections. It's worth the purchase, I promise.

I don't see the problem with remakes or re-releases. I never played Wind Waker on Gamecube, so I got the Wii U version. I no longer owned a PS2, and they released HD Ratchet and Clank trilogy for PS3. They wouldn't produce 'em if people didn't want them. wink

WiiU

But aslong as you are having fun, then i won't stop you. Well trilogy is kinda more for your money, so 3 games in one is kinda neat!
I have Ratchet and Clank on PS2, but i have currently been playing "LR:FF13", i may be planning on playing FF12, due to cool real time strategic fighting.

Edit:
There was one part in the game on Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee that i struggled with. And now i feel so silly, it was so easy. There is one part in the game where you basically give the dog an order to attack a guard through a hole. I tried to roll through the tunnel hole, sneak and pull the lever and run and roll before the guard shot me. I always got shot, but i managed it after many tries.

But to think it was this easy tongue
