Watching the vids of Ravensword made me think of it and so I installed and patched it and played until I got to Brittania and met LB. If I now pop-in Morrowind, Oblivion or [please because I can't wait any longer] Ravensword I am sure they will feel amazingly contemporary by comparison!

With a two finger swipe, you can keep moving forward with the stick so by the time you spin around you've gain a couple steps distance away from the enemy. Also, since it's done with the same hand as the camera it keeps casuals from getting confused. That's my opinion on it.

Perhaps icons would have worked as well, but I guess I come from a school of UI design that thinks that buttons should be labeled for what they do, not according to an arbitrary scheme. In any event, one of the great thing about the iDevice is that it has brought gaming to an audience who have never seen A or B (or triangle/circle/square/x) buttons.

But other wise, completely amazing. Ive said it before, seems to be something iDevice devs have not realized yet. Gamers for years have been using A B Y X buttons, and do not need big words on our buttons. Once again, Amazing otherwise and cant wait. I agree with the words on the buttons looking 'tacky'.

People, it´s an RPG, it´s about story and exploration. What does it change if the trees I walk under, the enemies I kill or the people I talk to have a shadow. There is always a point when you stop admiring the graphics and start playing the game. At this point the gameplay must keep you entertained. If it doesn´t you´ll be pissed, even if it has a decent framerate. Yeah, some people seem to think games are all about graphics. People, it´s an RPG, it´s about story and exploration.

Such a buggy broken piece of software. It is a shame that the Avatar went out on a bad foot. Actually Ultima VIII was pretty bad as well. They should have stopped at VII.

But it also looks pretty fun and the controls look really smooth! I like RPGs for when I'm waiting in line for stuff, they keep me entertained pretty well.

The new controls look fantastic. Incidentally I was playing Ultima IX yesterday and Ravensword looks so amazing by comparison it isn't funny! Again, the video today was stunning and you cannot release this soon enough for me! Cheers, --Howard Wow, this gets better and better, I simply cannot wait to play this!
