Just do what Firemint did with RR2 and support 2nd gen while still making it appealing for the higher gen owners.
I'd like to add: Not only are there plenty of 3GS, iPhone 4, iPod Touch 4, iPad , iPad 2 owners...but soon there will be an iPhone 5 (next month). This iPhone will add the dual core A5, bringing top performance parity alongside the iPad 2. Remember, 3GS owners will upgrade, new Verizon customers will jump in (from February, having held off on the 4 for the 5), Android defectors and overall more audience wanting the iPhone 5 will be huge. It's time to move past the older gens and look toward the future. Think, on this: Which path in development will age the game better and have it stand a test of time, visually? The 2nd gen owners have had over 2 years to save for a recent gen. 229 USD (iPod Touch) divided by 36 months (3 yrs. This September, 5-2 = 3 yrs) equates to: saving up 6.36 cents a month allowance
Make "paper monsters" the best iOS game it can possibly be. 2nd generation gadgets are slowly becoming fossils just like the VHS and cassette items.
I thought developers wanted to create the best game they could, not downgrading so that an Idevice that is not even selling could run it.
Pushing it would be for the best idea, 2nd gen is really outdated, with more games being unavailable for them they have no choice but to upgrade, which is inevitable especially with 5th gen approaching soon. As the appstore get bigger anyways it would be good to have your games stand out so you can have a bigger fanbase and better sales. Please push the game as far as you can.
I say push it. if you really want 2nd gen support, make a graphics toggle option. 2nd gens, 4th gens, and ipad 2. considering it's universal of course. (is it? I don't remember)
Definitely don't scale it back to accommodate outdated hardware, people with second gen devices need to face facts that their system is old and due an upgrade, while this may not be practical For everyone it's a fact of life. You don't see them scaling back call of duty to run on PS1s do you?
Sorry it's been a while since I've posted any new screens. However, that doesn't mean we have slowed down at all. In fact we just brought a new person on board with tons of experience to make sure we get this out by our fall deadline. And of course, make it super fun! James
you're a liar a big fat liar!!! Your pants are burning!!! Quickly, rip them off before you die!!!... .... .... .... so bored, can't wait til this game comes out so I've got something to do... =oD
Nice, that's good to hear. Hopefully you guys can make this into a classic like mario. Then you'll have to make a 3D planet based one
Why isn't this out yet? Why isn't this game out yet? Just anticipating... It's a first day buy for me.
