Universal N.O.V.A. 3 - Near Orbit Vanguard Alliance - (by Gameloft)

I love that Gameloft released this just a few weeks after teasing it. Much better than before when we had to wait months!

 

Just out of curiosity, does anyone know what the max file size allowed in the app store is? I've heard 2GB, but is that compressed or uncompressed? Either way, we seem to be nearing the limit of current app store size restrictions. Apple is going to need to increase maximum allowed file size before it becomes a constraint limiting developer creativity. Of course, if they double the max file size to say 4GB, they better double flash capacity of new devices and stop selling 8GB models.

And if the limit is 2GB uncompressed, with NOVA 3 currently at 1.9GB, Gameloft doesn't seem to have much room to introduce new maps or graphical enhancements in future updates.

 

If they come out with some true skyrim type game, they better up that limit to like 8gb or something.

 

Hi Guys,

I've played the game since Monday and it's really awesome. If you want to see the gameplay you can watch my video herer: http://www.appgefahren.de/n-o-v-a-3-exklusiver-einblick-in-das-gameplay-video-42181.html#comments

of course, it is in German language, but you can see the game ^^

 

Im pretty sure the limit is higher then 2gb
Idk how much, but at least 2.5

 

Idc how much the limit is ME WANT NOW lol hope to Play against u killjoy and lolavi. also imma start a new group for nova 3 kinda like a subclan so pm me if interested

 

Haha, referring to Infinity Blades: Dungeons are you?

"apps can be as large as 2gb" page 172. So i guess that's uncompressed, meaning that gameloft is very close to it..

Ah, alright. Pretty valid points I must say. However, I'm not as patient as you, so I have to pay the $7 today.

 

How is this game with an iPhone 4? I can't play Modern Warfare 2 there so I hope NOVA3 can be played better!

 

Same. I just gotta wait for a new gift card which fcking sucks cause it may take weeks... I'll join that subclan. Also removing mc3 for this... At least for a while. Dude can you let me lend your account? I'll let u use mine too. Others don't think I'm just asking randomly for someone, me and ajay are very good friends from mc3 community.

 

Did you read through all of that to find it??!!

 

Lolavi pm me on here or pal bro

 

And yeah hopefully It will be epic the subclan that is

 

Yes, I gotta say the gameplay does look very nice. Will definately pick this up eventually (still playing through Shadowgun and it's going to take some serious cleaning house to get this baby on my device).

 

AhAh I was sure someone would ask that XD. Nope, I just typed "file size ios" in google and the first result was this website:

Excited, excited. That's all I can say for now.
