iPod touch 4th gen has retina. 3rd gen iPod touch (one flamesfan originally played on according to his post) has not. "Display 3.5-inch (diagonal) widescreen Multi-Touch display 960-by-640-pixel resolution at 326 pixels per inch" From apple support page. http://support.apple.com/kb/SP594 The lag did get worse and worse with updates though. Considering the polish that's going into this one, lag might only be a problem on pre a5 devices (a5 being the target devices for optimal performance I'd imagine).
Does K/D matters.. Lol. Long as you have fun who cares. And to have fun, we need to play in good smooth framerate... Which comes down to having latest devices :\. Apple is like of gaming, getting updated so fast. So either they starts to putting graphic adjustment or something. That will probably work the best
It's not that bad Jin, your turning into a device snob, ( jk) From the reviews I read its a great device and a perfect tablet for gaming on iOS. Much better than the iPad 2 for gaming because of its size. It has the same specs as an iPod 5 and iPhone 4S which is alright and able to run high end iOS games ( which is fine in my books)
From what I've heard, playing on iPod 3 is actually WAY easier and lagless, because it doesn't have the retina weighing in too. And first 6 months of Mc3 were golden times. Almost no lag on iPod 4 either. We're all complaining of how it turned out after updates. Device does determine skills a little. Well I mean you can play better on a newer device and, because of the older device you can't play to your full potential. Haha! Yeah. K/D doesn't matter if you're having fun. I am with MC2 nowadays cause I don't get lag
It might lag , it might not??? We don't know that because mc4 might be fully optimized and more efficient than mc3. IMO, I think it's going to play well.
1. Nova 3 lags on A5 devices 2. Does mc4 looks better than nova 3? 3. Here comes lag fest Not trying to be negative, I really hope this game works well on my iPhone 4S. But I still can't forget how I stayed up until midnight for nova 3, paid full price and found out it was shit and lags all the time. So this time at least, I am going to wait on my purchase until I see proper gameplay on iPhone 4S
Actually, MC4 and NOVA 3 look about on par graphics wise. Both have better-than-console retina resolution, both have dynamic lighting and ragdolls. MC4 adds to the mix radial motion blur (strangly present for NOVA 3 on ONE level on my iPad 4) and realtime shadows, plus motion capture animation. I would honestly say that MC4 looks only marginally better (biggest diffence being the realtime shadows), and because the maps in the MC series have always been very small (compared to the ginormous NOVA ones) and there are typically very few enemies onscreen (max of perhaps 5-8 whereas I've seen upwards of 20 for NOVA) I think the performance will be the same or superior considering that the MC series has always been well optimized. And besides, seeing as how there are very few people with A6 or A6X devices compared to those with an A5 chipset, GL has a huge incentive to be sure it runs acceptably.
no it doesnt..ive had nova 3 since day one and it never lagged not once since i got it ..on my iphone 4 or my iphone 4s not once..and the same for all my freinds the only ppl i know who get lag are old ipads and ipods..
Then how come my 1 week old new iPhone 4S lags when I try to play nova 3. Don't lie, there are all these videos show that what you are saying is not true... Unless you don't understand meaning of lag
Doesn't matter much about all these things. Biggest thing that is going to make it lag is real time shadow And also hope no tanks and jets.. Those thing will make the game lag too
BTW guys if you go to the website you can see a new concept art from the first level. It looks pretty awesome. On another note, I just had this crazy idea that is most definitely not true but it is worth a shot. I thought that maybe the guns shown on the website are just the NEW guns, and some of the guns from MC3 will make a reappearance. I say this because on the specializations pages you can see the MC81, the TZ Compakt, and the KR600.
Different people have different concepts of lag, also, I know how much of a difference a really good connection makes, (I get a ton of lag playing mc3 in my bedroom, away from the router, and almost none playing in my living room, right next to it) also, I get lag if I'm running ANY apps in the background, and I have definitely had experiences where restarting my device fixed crash issues. I have an iPod touch 4. Once again, accusing people of lying isn't appropriate, and is childish. One can challenge what they are talking about, but do not challenge the person themselves. Sorry, it's just one of my pet peeves (especially when the person is obviously NOT lying, he does not think he gets lag, so he says he doesn't get lag, an outright lie would be saying your device runs at 120 fps and has full effects on an iPod 4, when in reality you've never played the game.)
