    I'm not an expert, but I don't think the iPhone has the processing power to handle this game. I could be wrong though.

    The 4s is more powerful than the iPad 2. The only reason it isn't seeing the game is because of the screen size.

    This mirrors how I felt about Lost Cities being available only for the iPhone...but I digress...

    I'm guessing the screen size is the only reason why this is being released as iPad-only. For some reason, while smaller, I still think it'd work well on the iPhone. I'd love to hear from any app developers on this forum regarding this or even better, any developers from Bastion itself!

    If it's a full port, then yes it has much more to do. First of all, there is multiple endings. After that, there is a New Game + mode with additional skills to be found. Also, all missions may be replayed with modifiers to increase the difficulty (and rewards) in various ways. And yes, there is some lengthy challenge/endless maps.

    Did I mention there is several unique weapons each with multiple upgrade paths and skills to suit your play style?

    Sorry no. It says so in the FAQ and the AppStore description. Gaming with the original iPad is a recipe for a poor framerate anyway, unfortunately. Apple really should've given it 512 my of RAM instead of the measly 256, then it would've held its own much better.

    It's a full port plus some DLC:

    "Bastion for iPad includes the Stranger’s Dream sequence, which was not in the original releases of Bastion for Xbox 360 or PC but later released as a downloadable extra. The visuals are updated to look best on this platform, there are a couple of new lines of narration relating to some minor gameplay changes, and numerous little fixes, as well as rebalanced Proving Grounds for all the different weapons. Further, we converted the “No-Sweat Mode” added to previous versions into an Infinite Lives toggle setting, for less experienced players who might be enjoying the story but having a tough time with some of the encounters. On the other hand, experienced players can still engage the Shrine system for some very challenging and fast-paced battles. On the whole, though, the content of the game will be similar to what you remember if you’ve played previous versions. That said, the experience of playing should feel quite fresh on this platform if our playtesters’ feedback is any indication. Also, all of the game’s menu screens are re-created from scratch for this version, so they have a different look and feel."

    (from their FAQ)

    I emailed super giant the second I saw the news about this game about an iPhone port and they said they haven't ruled it out. From a developers stand point, all the image resizing could take a couple months so I wouldnt get too excited with this coming soon.

    I really hope this has cloud saving, I am getting increasingly tired of losing saves on large games that I eventually have to delete for space but would like to be able to come back to.

    Though it would probably mentioned if it did.

    Really excited for this to release.

    I was hoping the devs would pull a Pixar and keep the 16:9 aspect and simply add more to the top and bottom to fill in the black bar areas but from the screens it looks fantastic either way.

    You're awesome! Thanks so much for doing that. Hopefully they'll work on an iPhone port.
