    Sold!!! Would've been sold anyway but this seals the deal.

    Can you take a pic of your settings? I'm having trouble getting this to run smoothly on an iPad mini retina and the iPad air 1. Not sure why the air 1 can't run this at maximum. One would think that the air 1 has more power than is being utilized for this game.

    Thx. I was able to do all of that but it was specific to my controller not responding. I reset it it, hard booted the phone, and now it's working perfectly ##

    Per the few prev posts, this game does look pretty fantastic, especially considering it's an aged title. The little enhancements have gone a long way. And I'm on 5S, also having no issues with graphics, so A7s (at least) should be running no probs with all sliders to the right.

    That's what I thought but both a mini retina and air 1 can't handle the sliders all the way to the right. The frame rate is so choppy with sliders at maximum.

    Well, I can't tell a lot about the graphics (as I'm still using my ol' 1st Gen mini and I had to tweak countless times the performance options to make it run at ~30 FPS) but, God this game is absolutely fantastic, no questions about how it was a GOTW, heck, this could even be a GOTY, I love the fact that you can approach as you want every encounter and how my Dishonored playstile fits wonderfully (as it allows me to shift from a stealthish way to a old-school FPS at the moment I'm spotted :) ), I love also the aesthetic of the game (yeah, been using low-res configurations but I can still appreciate the look of the game) as it feels outlandish and bizarre enough to play Knights of Cydonia and see it fits.
    Just buy it already, it's a steal for $6.
    BTW: Never played the original one, a friend had it but I never felt interested about it until a few months back.

    I got subtitles to work for a bit but no subtitles when I went to cash my first bountys or in the General Store. I have to play with sound off most of the time. Is not knowing what characters are saying going to stop me or present a significant problem in playing the game? Or should I wait for a bug fix?

    This game looks awesome. I haven't played the original on xbox, so I might buy this...But I also want to get Exiles and I don't have space for both. I guess I'll have to choose between this and Exiles once Exiles is released.

    If I choose Exiles I'll definitely buy this if/when I upgrade my device and choose a model with the storage I need.

    Edit: I deleted some stuff and managed to make 6.4 gigs of available storage. Hope that's enough for this and exiles, either way when I upgrade my device all should be good.

    Thanks for the info, I think I'll wait for now.

    Edit: I have 6.4gig of free space so I think I have enough space for both. I might just buy this for now and buy Exiles when its released.

    Re-Edit: I'm buying this :) Before I buy, I have a iPad 3 so I hope I don't need to lower the settings to much to run this. Anyone played this on iPad 3? I can't find videos or screenshots of this game running on iPad 3 so help will be very appreciated. I really want to know If I can play this game while enjoying the graphics. ( They don't have to be the best, just good enough )
    Thanks!

    I have an IPad Air and the game is very choppy maxing things out. With the resolution turned down about halfway it runs fine. How are people with iPhone 5's able to max out the settings?

    Can you post a pic running on your device, It might be the resolution of ipad is very high.It runs perfectly on 5s so that's puzzling.

    After buying the binoculars, tap on the reticle in the middle of the screen to activate the binoculars. To deactivate, tap the reticle again or tap the camera button. When active tap the bino icon that appears to change zoom levels.

    The slider is a resolution scale based on the max resolution of the device.

    well on my iPad 3 I have to put the resolution down almost to nothing to run it smoothly, but it works well otherwise. Can anyone say how it runs on iPhone 5 maybe I should put it on my phone...

    I am stuck on the third bounty he keeps murdering me I can't figure it out... :/

    Great game though I love having a full game like this on the go.

    Can anyone explain the usefulness of stunkz (how to use him, when to use him, etc)? It's a cool concept but it rarely ever buys me any time when I use it on a group of enemies. Typically I try blasting them with it and end up getting slaughtered. Playing on Normal, if that helps.

    Despite some V-stick quabbles, this is an amazing port.

    Wow!!! Loving this game!!! I don't like fps much, but this is truly a gem!!!! From what I read, after the bounty, there are more things to do, so, yeah~ love it!!

    To kill him, use use thug bug and fully charged fuzzers.. Knock him down using thug, and after that, hit him with fuzzers.. Rinse and repeat, and there you go~
