How do you feel about playing a premium open world pirate action RPG on your mobile devices? Sounds too good to be true, you say? Well, HeroCraft will beg to differ since it’s currently developing Tempest, a game that hopes to do all I’ve just mentioned. According to the game’s thread in our Upcoming Games forum, the game isn’t an MMORPG (so don’t go hoping for that) but there is the option of playing with or against other players. The trailer shows some really fine visuals and some entertaining ship-to-ship-to-monster sea battles, which make me want to go sailing.
If you want to help develop the game, hop over to our forum thread, fill in the short survey, and also apply for the beta test. The game runs on iPhone 6 and iPad Air or higher. Looks good, doesn’t it?
Awesome!
*makes weird noises* Yeees!!!
I certainly hope this is better than F1 2016. The way they talked it up at the iPhone 7 announcement had me expecting something spectacular, but it turned out pretty drab, and at this point there's no excuse for releasing a racing game without MFi controller support.
I have no idea what the complete lack of MFI controller support about was in F1 2016 (though I don't care anymore about that game), or a few games that fit well on a console not having MFi either.
-Ember
-Sparta
Feral Interactive have a good history and porting games to Mac OS and iOS, WITH proper support, and even games that didn't have MFI initially they added them on not too long afterwards.
Another good example are the DotEmu, who do a lot of retro and arcade porting
Double dragon
Raiden
R-TYPE 1-2
are arcade faithful with MFI.
Confirmed on twitter - Mfi support is included
Oh my f****** god <3 <3 <3
I always wanted to play it on mobile but streaming from a bead pc was a very bad choice xD
Love Grid on my Mac. Love F1 16 on my iPhone. I'd easily pay $20 for this!
Its brilliant news - also checked on twitter and its coming with mfi controller support
Feral Interactive are fast becoming my favorite iOS developer bringing AAA gaming to iOS - hoping they bring a AAA FPS next
Oh my god no way!!!! All aboard the hype train! Finally a propert racing game that is not consumed by EA greed.
I miss the glorious days of RR1-2, Fastlane and Asphalt when it was still good
Well, this should completely destroy any other racing games on iOS assuming the port is well done.
Fingers crossed for a great port...in the meantime I'll stick with the fantastic Rush Rally 2.
I'm hoping to have something else up my sleeve in the rush series this year too :)
Hmmmm... I got sucked into buying F1 2016, was excited for it but the controls are crap, Real Racing 3 IMO still has the best controls on mobile, is it really hard to copy them? If they do and they sell this game as a premium it'll be a winner.
On feral twitter page says it come spring
Wish they would all the new cars like mclaren 720 and huracan performante in this game if they could add new cars then bye bye RR3! Hahaha
After many disappointments of big publishers making bad mobile ports I know better then to get hyped about this one.
It's probably going to be a very avarage port that will not use the iOS platform too it's fullest potential like MFI controller support, cloud saves ect.
It's probably not going to see many updates and end up like that clusterfuck BioShock.
Just look at F1 of Colin McRae, they have both plentiful of potential but they were just very average scoring games and saw barely any updates for it. Nothing spectacular. But we will see if they finally going to do it right with Grid
I think you will be presently surprised - they've already confirmed that mfi support is coming and if you check out their Rome:total war port for iPad - it's basically he poster boy for the perfect port of a AAA premium game to iOS - plus they are soon to release the first expansion pack for total war (total war barbarians) so you know they don't just release and ignore the game, Plus the Devs are active on the do forum and answering questions
