    I really wonder, if the pixelated look on iPhone 5S is meant to be like that, or if it is indeed some kind of bug, considering, that even the iPad 3 manages a non pixelated look..

    I'm having a blast with this game despite its flaws, however, we all know that FPS have their issues in regards to controls on a touch screen, more so, I can't figure out how to -- or even if I can -- change the camera control to reverse y axis. Can the controls be changed or should I expect a frustrating amount of deaths for the remainder of the game?

    Pro tip: take those pictures. Seeing this is a straight port, you'll get some really cool perks if you keep at it ;)

    They look the best screenshot I see,no pixel,and in an iPad 3 that it's not even officially supported..I start to think for real that in the iPhone 5/5s there a bug,with these pixel,they hurt the eyes after long playtrough..

    What? I heard this game supports game controller but when I start playing on my iPhone 5S with Logitech Power Shell controller it doesn't work?

    Much more noticeable on all iphone models as compared to iPad. It's not lack of retina as some are whining about, it's extreme aliasing. Not that there's much in the form of AA on iPad but it's much smoother looking. Lighting effects are also significantly pared back in iphone 5.

    Still having a blast playing it but I'm fortunate enough to have an iPad Air which apparently runs this game the best.

    Anyone else thinks it won't be out worldwide?I mean WTF 2k clearly stated that it will be out worldwide but it is not even out here yet...I know I was complaining a lot but really this feels like a stab in the back.I was a fan of this game for so damn long.

    Just watched sanuku's vid, sooo... The resolution on the 5s is a bug? If so then I should stop playing and wait on an update.

    Looks even worse in motion.

    It looks pretty good on ipad. Awful on iphone. I can feel my eyes focusing on every pixel when I play. My eyes after each play session: ಠ , ಥ

    Yeah I dont think the Iphone/Ipad have enough muscle to really give anything near a while Bioshock experience.

    An ipad 3 which is an unsupported device is able to not only able to run the game better but has better resolution,aliasing and lightning than a supported and supposedly newer device than 5s.Kind of makes it clear that they didn't optimise the game properly or at all,how can they make such a huge mistake?
    It's quite an unoptimized port simple things like graphic settings(for god knows why),Customizable controls are totally missing.While it's certainly a hell lot better than the Dq port it's still below par noway near Kotor or Gta ports,imo.

    I don't really get their attitude one one hand they want to make console quality titles available on these devices but at the same time they haven't put the required time and effort to even make it servicable,Dropping resolution to 240p(lower than ps2)would actually allow you to play any ps3/360 game at 30fps it's nothing to talk about.It's more like they never optimized the code for open gl devices and just threw the game on the devices and decudes that would be enough.A noble cause but the execution isn't there unfortunately.

    Arent the 5S and the iPad Air pretty much on par in terms of power? Also, if the ipad 3 manages better resolution and lighting, then that would also be possible on the 5S - if it werent for some bug. I wonder if there are some config files within the file..

    Yeah it just feels like a lazy port on 5s. Its pretty disappointing. The game is good, the port is... well... not so good. I was expecting some love and care to be put into this.

    I really hope the resolution & frame drops are just bugs. And hopefully we'll be able to customize our interface in the near future. For now, I'm just going to hold off on playing it until we get a clear word on what is going on. But the again, 2k mobile isn't too open with their fan base

    The iPhone 5s is more powerful than iPad 3! Graphics is horrible, too much aliasing! I hope in a update soon!

    You're at the beginning?I mean you're in the water? If yes,it's normal..once you enter in batisphere it works..
    EDIT:I try with Moga,I don't have the Logitech Power Shell,I talk for the Moga..

    No, it does not work on Power Shell. I guess it is because Logtitech power shell does not have dual joysticks. I am now using the touch screen to play the game.
