That would truly be the end of the world. Unlikely though, due to the fact Dead Space (developed by the same group) wasn't on rails and for it's time looked great.
For it's time ?.... Dead Space still looks great, I honestly would say it looks better than 95 % of the games on iOS. Awesome graphics.
Yep, those are iOS screenshots! Probably from iPad 2, but I'm sure it will still look great on other devices. And no, it's not on rails. I've read articles by people who got to see a demo and they said you use the left side of the screen to move, right side to aim, same as most other iOS shooters. The screenshots make it look like the game could be on rails, but I highly doubt it will be.
I am super psyched for this as have just started playing ME1 (I know, I know). Reinstalled Dead Space as I warm up. Still looks and plays incredibly well. If they can maintain that standard I will be one happy Paragon Vanguard Am nervous following the whole Battlefield debacle though. EA really squandered that IP!
Yes sure A5 has raised the bar. I just got a 4S iphone. Everything looks so much better graphically, more clear, crisp. Games still look good on my 4G ipod but not quite as good. but as far as games with Graphics go, Dead space is one of the best. Games that rival these graphics imo are Shadowgun, Infinity Blade 1 and 2, Modern combat 3. I think that games don't necessarily need to be on the unreal engine to look good. Just look at Mc3, Dead space or Shadowgun. Right now due to iOS 5. The unity engine runs the smoothest.
Well Battlefield got pulled so they realized it was that bad so don't worry too much. Besides, it's not like the same people that made BF are making this game!
What I am saying is that when Dead Space hit, it was the best you could get. I am not saying it looks outdated, because it isn't, it still looks brilliant for an iOS game. Now with A5, meaning better graphics possibilites, Dead Space isn't the best you can get, because I'm sure this wil become the best to get.
What is utterly terrifying is that someone at EA must have looked at that mess and thought "yep that'll do for our flagship franchise." BTW has anyone else noticed that the Citadel in Mass Effect looks a lot like Milton Keynes shopping centre?
As long as it's not another moronic on-rails crap such as Infinity Blade I'll play the hell out of this one.
BF3 was made, I believe, by Digital Legends. As has been pointed out a billion times, Mass Effect: Infiltrator is being developed by the folks who made Dead Space. Considering that EA pulled BF3 over issues of quality (and the vociferous fan reaction that they provoked), I think it's reasonable to expect that we won't see a repeat here.
Can't people read nowadays? I know it's been published by the folks who made Dead Space. I said It would IF it was made by those, but it's not. And that's why it'll be awesome.
