Just because you don't like some genres or style of games, doesn't make them stupid, crap or not worth making. Rolando in my opinion is one of the best games so far for iPhone (and very successful for ngmoco) and fully deserves a sequel. Tower defense games are very popular on the app store so Star Defense makes sense. And as for Touch pets, its also gonna find a market in the casual crowd. Different games for different people, they can't just make FPS's all the time (they are not ID software). Anyway, I hope they spend the months leading up to the 3.0 release optimizing the game, tweaking the controls, framerate, graphics and online capabilities. I got Caster yesterday and the controls in that work very well and are pretty similar to the vids of LiveFire.
It also uses some of the connectivity features of 3.0 (and probably other stuff they haven't shown off yet) such as the push notifications, so I guess it will not launch until 3.0 does. Besides, I'd rather they spend the remaining time making sure the game is great!
This is the game Im most excited for upcoming iphone games I will be so disappointed if all this hype builds up for nothing....
Ok ok, I missworded (im not even sure if thats a word). I'm not saying that Rolando 2 and Star Defense are bad game ideas or not worth making or anything. As a matter of fact, I think its great that they're making games of all genres. The more people that play the better, its for everyone. But what I AM trying to say is, MOST people are waiting for LiveFire out of all of them, and the fact that they post ALOT more about the other games (Rolando 2, Star Defense, Touch Pets) is what pisses me off. I mean c'mon. The front page of their site is ROLANDO 2 COMING SOON! STAR DEFENSE COMING SOON! TOUCH PETS COMING SOON! But no LiveFire??? People need to be updated on what they're waiting for.
LiveFire is not an official game... it was originally a tech demo that they were thinking of making into a game.
that was the aspect of paying actual cash for weapons that isnt official im pretty sure this was officially announced along with touchpets
Rolando 2 isn't even made by ngmoco, only published. To generate hype, I think Hand Circus wants to do it this way and reveal the characters. Plus, there's so much information needed to be released about Rolando 2. LiveFire... what more info do you need? What type of weapons? Seriously, do you think ngmoco would update people on the type of weapons like they do with Rolando? They've already given out all we need to know. It's an FPS that uses iPhone's 3.0 capabilities period. There's nothing else besides weapons and maps that is needed. You have a video on the gameplay of LiveFire, yet we don't even know how Rolando 2 is going to work (although I'm assuming it's going to be just like number 1) but yeah, no gameplay video on Rolando but there is for LiveFire.
im really very very very excited for livefire, i have plenty of first person shooters on my phone but none seem to be very good... whether its controls, lag, or just a plain bad game i have a good feeling and im sure this will exceed my expectations and be the best fps in the app store, not mention the online multiplayer will be amazing! this game will most likely come out as soon as iphone 3.0 comes out, which nobody knows, only Steve Jobs and apple... it is estimated to come out maybe june or early summer, and i think you can expect livefire to come out days, hours, maybe even minutes after.... CANT WAIT!!!
Okay thanks for the answers guys!! Wow i reallly cannot wait.. I keep watching the video (LOL) and it looks INCREDIBLE!! just one question, is the online play where you can play against ANYONE in the world? like iFPS Online (except people hardly play ). And for your wingman, is it one of your friends in the games?? And the in-game chat. Is it where you can talk to someone like with the XBOX Live on 360 with the headset?? Like can you talk to the other person and can you hear a reply from them?? that's what it looked like in the presentation.. Thanks!!! Lol
thanks for making my brain hurt inferi22... haha well you know what i mean, this game will be AWESOME!!!!
My guess is that this (and maybe Sims 3) will be a launch game for 3.0 as Apple will want some cool apps and games to show off their new OS. They are most likely working closely with some "favoured" devs to get some quality titles available at launch. I would assume Apple will show off 3.0 alongside the rumoured new iPhone at WWDC in June. It'll most likely then be a July launch.
