In the US, but not in Japan. Also, to the guy who said tablet versions of games the Vita had were "just as good", I have to remind you many of those games iOS has equivalents of aren't even close to the Vita's level. Especially SFxT.
It's No.1 for best selling hardwares in japan but it takes time to be arrived in the USA like 3DS. 3DS was first a big hit in japan then came to west. It takes time and wait where are iOS games in the chart?
Indeed and don't forget the price,yeah iOS games are way cheaper than Vita's games so more peolpe would like to buy them lol.
We are comparing quality titles available for ios and vita,N64 was a failure for nintendo as well doesn't take away from the fact that it had some of the best games ever made.As far as sales go dr. dre and beiber were among the leading music artists previous year,So yeah.
I was referring to the list of games posted, for instance Fifa is just as good on a tablet as the VIta, we are not talking graphics we are talking gameplay, and even then graphically games on tablets look good if made to. COD on the Vita is rubbish, the tablet version is better and that's saying something. Does the chart that was linked to cover iOS games? Because I bet it doesn't, and if it did it would shame the Vita's games sales figures, also just because a device is successful in one market does NOT make it a worldwide success.
Who said Fifa is good on iOS? Dude are kidding me? I own both iOS and Vita versions of FIFA 14. But I removed the iOS version cause it was not the same as console version. Too tiny players bad graphic no good commentary and no good online multiplayer. The touch controlling is kinda freak and hard to play soccer games. Hold on No way have you played fifa on Vita?
Fifa on iphone is noway near the vita version,The animations are redundant and outdated,ball physics are poor in comparison and the a.i is sub par too.Ios version is pretty much a last gen game whereas the vita version is more like a 2010 version on ps3.Excluding graphics is not applicable while comparing quality they are an essential part of a game and as such can't be and shouldn't be ignored. As far as cod goes,The physics engine and shader effects of vita version is better.The ios version is more of a tactical game than the vita version not necessarily better version. Only game that I would rather have on my vita would be xcom enemy unknown.
Dude they think iOS version of FIFA is better than Vita's Version. LoL let's end it here even new iPhone 6/7/8 with A27 chips could not have the same games as Vita's.
So, the big info coming this week on MC5 is going to be about........ Oh wait, wrong thread. This is obviously the Vita versus IOS thread. Where did the MC5 one go? Don't want to post the info in the wrong thread, dunno why the title is wrong on this one. Move on people. Comparing the Vita to iOS is about as pointless as comparing a people carrier to a sportscar and just demonstrates a lack of understanding of the integration between hardware and software on multitasking devices versus dedicated devices. The whole thing has been done to death on the forum.
Yes lets stop it now considering you lot cannot READ. You need to learn to do that before replying to my comments. Anyway where is the MC5 news?
Yes, any news, anything? Also I'm curious if there will ever be a new NOVA game. Is there anything you can tell us about that? Ryan, Kyle?
Yeah they completely changed the style of the game. Went from Doom to Crysis with jetpacks and rocket launcher spamming. I too preferred the second one. But most people would disagree
3rd one is the most ambitious mobile game ever probably along with aralon,It was diverse fun and overall a big improvement in all areas specially the story and gunplay.I loved it but it lacked polish at launch the framerate was atrocious and it did have a few bugs here and there but overall there was nothing on mobile that could compare to it(neither on psp or 3ds) and it still is an incredible game.The first two nova games were incredible too,I didn't play much of the second one but it was excellent for that short bit.If gl could show the same level of improvement for the next one then we are in for a treat but like I said they've stopped trying altogether.I just miss the old GL they were untouchable.
I'd say it could've been one of the most ambitious games, but they really messed it up. Lack of polish, stability, and balance. The single player campaign had a great start, but just fell miserably the closer it got to the end. And man, that ending was just terrible... But the boss fight was fun. It might have been an improvement in gun play but The story was just something to laugh at. Especially the way it was presented in. Again, it had a strong start, but just crashed and burned. The multiplayer could've been great. But it lacked balanced and some of the maps we're too big. Rocket-packing became the average play style, which really killed the competitive aspect of the game. The jeep turret was an aim bot machine. The terrible net-coding that couldn't support all the traffic on screen. Sure it was pretty and really pushed its devices to their limits, but it was just a massive gamplay flaw. I could see why they discontinued it; it doesn't sell anymore, not too many people play online, and it hogs up servers. It was a disappointing game (competitive wise and story wise, at least the way it was presented). It tried to be something new and it failed. But they did add everything that people asked for: jetpacks, vehicles, ADS, bigger maps, etc. And look what happened, they created something that the devs couldn't handle. They created something that appealed to a different audience. They created something that wasn't NOVA anymore. It didn't have that Doom/Quake-like play style that all the "hardcore-NOVA" players liked. They really changed the flow of the game, and balance, which is really why me and my buds don't play NOVA anymore. I don't know... I was just too much of a fan of the 1st and 2nd I guess. Played them for countless hours. Man, sniping those ALG noobs was fun ... Geeze, can someone say nostalgia...
They stopped trying altogether? Are you serious? So what you're looking for is two new games very month that never get updated or supported long term? Is your memory really that short? There has been huge change in Gameloft over the last two years. Far superior community interaction. Far longer development periods. Long term support for all recent games with numerous content and support updates. Far superior investment in the games they do now release to prolong their lifespan rather than the release as many as possible and forget it formula that was popular not so long ago. You really are looking at the past through rose tinted sunglasses. Any game that Gameloft releases now is guaranteed to get long term support, community feedback based changes and have spent a substantial amount of time and money in development. They even delayed what should have been two of their biggest releases last year in order to improve them based on feedback. Saying they don't even try any more is simply ridiculous and just blind to the obvious serious improvements they've made in house to improve the customer experience. And before you go mentioning some recent mistakes, the old Gameloft would have simply forgotten them, put them in legacy and moved on to the next whereas what they are in fact doing is making changes based on reaction and feedback, actually listening and investing time and effort into fixing anything that went wrong and adding content through updates. Simply because they are not pumping them out every month and forgetting them doesn't mean they have stopped trying, it actually means the opposite. The fact that they have four community managers interacting on here frequently and in recent times, members of the development teams themselves have interacted directly in here, shows the dramatic changes towards prioritising customer satisfaction, in other words quality, over mass quantity. Interaction that would never have happened or even been considered two years ago. A massive change in priorities, a huge investment in effort and time and most certainly a reflection of trying a lot harder.
I really don't understand on how the hate on Gameloft grows from a few bugs in a game and an internet requirement, whereas Gameloft games aren't the only ones featuring bugs, and many developers are switching to always online. Maybe it's because Gameloft is the first big development company to start featuring it.
