People seem to be really uninformed about the power of iDevices, so here goes: In terms of performance: iPad Air 2 >> iPhone 6+ = iPhone 6 >>> iPad Air > iPad Mini 2 & 3 > iPhone 5S >>> iPad 4 > iPhone 5 = iPhone 5C >> iPad 3 > iPad 2 = iPad Mini> iPhone 4S > iPod Touch 5 >>> iPhone 4 >> iPad > iPod Touch 4 > iPhone 3GS = iPod Touch 3 >>> iPod Touch 2 > iPhone 3G = iPod Touch 1 = iPhone Not supported Supported with downgraded visuals Fully supported (I can't guarantee that this is 100% accurate, but I hope you get the point)
WAIT! What about the iPad 12.9 inch model? Or the iBox5? How about the Atari 2600???!! You can only keep supporting old stuff for so long, man... I completely get that my iPad Retina is going to be obsolete soon, if not already... my wife's iPad2 is now "old" ... its just the ways of the times, man..
Not 100% accurate but mostly. It's actually 95,6% accurate. xD iPhone 6 > iPhone 6+. The 6 has a much lower resolution and therefore will perform much better on native resolution. Both of them have the same SoC with equal clock speeds. iPhone 5S >> iPad Mini 2 & 3. Differences in resolution are even more differently in this comparison. Same SoC with same clock speeds but the iPad has to render four times the pixels as the iPhone has to render. 727.040px VS 3.145.728px. In native resolution, the 5S will easily outperform the Mini. It's unlikely the iPad will render at full native resolution but at least it will render still far more pixels than the 5S.
I actually looked at the 3D mark results after I made that post (and realised that I forgot about the iPhone 5C) and for the most part they match what I wrote, although the iPad Mini 2 is listed as being slower than the iPhone 5S and iPad Mini 3
This is such exciting news. H&C is right up there with the original Infinity Blade as my all time fav titles. Everything mentioned so far looks great. What about multiplayer mode? Is it still two player coop and single player PvP like H&C? A moba-style 3v3 would be insane but that may be too much to ask. Can't wait for its release.
Uhhh it could totally go there.... Never thought about that. The only thing I really want is more fluid combat. The first one (in my top 3 ios games of all time ) was a bit clunky when it came down to it. I'm excited for the graphic overhaul and equipment. Hopefully all the weapons effect play stile like monster hunter or dark souls. Man foursaken how do you guys get sooo much better with every single game???!!!
I'll add that iPhone 5s will be better than iPad Air because of resolution as well and it's possible that iPhone 6 might give better FPS than iPad Air 2
It goes without saying... That I will be downloading this on day of release. I have space ready on both my iPhone and iPad, so just 2 months to go...
OH MY GOD! HEROES AND CASTLES 2! INSTABUY DAY ONE! And epic battles... EPIC BATTLES! This might end up being my best IOS game ever, even better than Bug Heroes 2 (Which is in the moment my best IOS game)!!
I'd be very disappointed if it was the best iOS game ever... (I'm ciricising the use of the phrase "best [...] ever" here, not the game)
