If it's limited to 2 real players like in their other games (where the online doesn't work anyway), then as far as I'm concerned, this game has no online. So did they figure out how to make it more then 2 real players online or is that still going to get blamed on OpenFeint (which might be true, but then why use OpenFeint)? Ascensions: Chronicles of the Godslayer does up to 4 human players online, does asynch and live (and the live play is beautiful, as is the asynch, and it uses Game Center for it). Hopefully codito and company got a clue and are passing on OpenFeint.
Puerto Rico version 1.0 supports online multiplayer using Game Center. The app also includes a comprehensive tutorial and in-game help for those new to the game (or anyone who might want to brush-up on the rules).
This is a very wise choice. OF is obviously made of fail; GC will only get better, and is getting some much-needed attention in iOS 5. It plays to Apple's biggest strength: providing all of the widgets, software and hardware (even if some of Apple's 1.0 releases over the years have underwhelmed a bit).
For some reason I thought this was supposed to be out tonight, but I don't see it. Is there a known release date?
There is no known release date, the game was just submitted to apple on the 24th so it probably won't be out until sometime next week.
You're right, I don't really follow twitter, so I was just going by the posts here. I still wouldn't have expected it to be released this week, especially since Ravensburger said they didn't expect a release until August. Ravensburger also hasn't said if they will release the game as soon as it's approved or if they are going to hold it for a release date.
Alright everyone, sorry for the lateness of this post: things have been incredibly busy this past week. Why? Well that would be because Puerto Rico is OFFICIALLY launching August 4th to the App Store. We've got some really fun stuff planned for the next few weeks as well, which we shall keep you updated on, of course. Questions, Comments, Concerns? Post now and we'll try and answer them as we can. Thanks again to Codito for all their work on this with us! Can;'t wait for Thursday!!!!
Multiplayer? Asynchronous? Game center or openfient or proprietary mp system? Pass & Play? Price? Achievements? Congratulations btw, looking forward to this game even though I have never played the board game.
