  2. I like the second game much better than the first. Seems more like a rpg to me this time around. Great fun.

    I found the first one to be a tad slow for my taste. Is this one any faster?

    Nope. It's just tighter in its focus. It also has an overworld map, which the first one (on Wii anyway) did not.

    Wierd. So ultimately it's impossible at launch in some cases to even know if a game had iap before buying it. Thanks for the info.

    I'm confused about that myself.

    It's really fun with impressive animation so far. Getting it and Lost Winds 2 in one day is like Christmas in November. :D

    Lost winds 2 free?

    Just noticed that lostwinds 2 is free right now, nothing in the description says it is free for a limited period and I'm sure it used to be premium. Was just wondering if anyone knows of a promo going on? Anyway it's free for anyone who doesn't have it

    can anyone confirm full retina support on the iPad 4 vs iPad 3 non-full support?
    I updated the game on my iPad 3 and it looks good but not full retina.
    Does the iPad 4 have it like the update says?
    It's weird since the iPhone 4 got it on the original Lostwinds... :\

    I bought this at 1.99 a while back, still haven't had the chance to crack it open. The first one was great though!
     
  11. I see under the update it says iphone 5, ipad mini, ipad 4 bug fixes and support.

    Why do you think the ipad 4 has full retina?

    This game on my new ipad is kind of confusing, it looks like partial retina I guess. The backgrounds and ui seem like retina, but the objects that move seem to have jagged edges, but I don't know if it is from non anti aliasing or from lack of retina.

    But I agree it doesn't quite look 100% retina, but it is pretty close. I kind of doubt they would have spent the time to really make the ipad 4 version better, but maybe a person with both the new ipad and ipad 4 can tell us, cause I too would be curious if there was any change.

    Thanks for your answer.
    I think "support" is suppose to be something retina no? I mean what is there to support? since it works on all these device since they have the same res.

    I wish as well as you that someone with iPad 3 and 4 (Or have seen the game on both) would give his insights.

    It is a very confusing retina support and I have written to the devs as well about it.
     
  13. Hehe, usually support is just a fancier word for bug fixes. Since there are no framerate problems in this game, I doubt it means framerate optimizations either. To upgrade the graphics would first be a major undertaking for the developer, and two would make a lot of old new ipad owners mad and may cause bad reviews on itunes. And if it was a huge upgrade like new graphics for ipad 4, I figure they would use wording in the update saying now full retina graphics in the ipad 4 version.

    In this case, I would say that support just means changes to make the ipad 4 version more compatible, but maybe someone can tell us if anything has changed.

    Just wanted to put a quick word of warning. I've had this game since it first came out but only got around to playing it this week. Serious backlog of games :) It appears to be broken on iOS7. It keeps crashing at 2 particular locations in the game making it impossible to proceed beyond these points so I've had to delete the game. A pity as I was enjoying it despite the finnicky controls.

    Guys? You're bumping a sales thread from over 6 months ago...

    Maybe move the convo into the game's actual thread?
