    Fix the damn resolution and framerate first and then think about adding support for a controller.Can't they see how ugly it looks or are they purposely ignoring,takes a mere minute to adjust the resolution and you can't even do 'that'.

    For god sake get of your ass and use 'metal',I don't think they even mentioned about it anywhere.No point going "it's a great technology" if you don't even use it.

    This is a New mail from 2k support:

    Hi Luca,
    Thank you for your message and additional details.

    We are currently investigating the problem.
    Please have a little 'patience in this regard, as you know, unfortunately,you're not the only player with this problem.
    The developers are currently working, but can not guarantee a definite answer regarding the timing of the resolution.
    In the meantime, we recommend that you periodically check our website for updates on the game and for all the news!

    Thanks,
    EDIT: This means that they know that is a bug,a issue with The resolution..

    I think they mean 'resolution' as in resolving the problem,It may not be what we're thinking atleast it appears that way from the answer.Or I think the support guy is playing with us.:p

    Does this game have iCloud saves, I need to delete it for space to download iOs 8 but I don't want to lose my progress.

    Has anyone played this on the iPhone 6 or 6 Plus? How does it look and how smooth is it?

    Um. I'm playing it on a 6. Still looks blocky but the bigger screen distracts you from it a bit. I got a refund for it but I changed my mind and downloaded it again.

    One issue though. No sound past the intro. Anyone else experiencing this? I looked for solutions online and the same bug was doing the rounds on steam 5 years ago.

    Anyone got an iOS fix for this?

    There would be no difference. Just look at the ipad air and ipad mini version and you will know how it looks on iPhone 6.

    iPhone 6 is iPhone 5s in a different case. Just a tiny better CPU.

    Yep unfortunately,6 and plus will both struggle with the game just as much as 5s.

    With the whole metal thing on ios 8 i imagine they could make the game look closer to the original version but that would need work, so doubt it.

    I do expect them to work hard for a living just like in every other other profession,they clearly haven't tested the game properly let alone optimize ot.The fact ipad 3 an ysupported device runs it better than 5s which is supported.

    Well, since the game has no iap and a good amount of people who want to play the game already bought it, I don't see much incentive to go out of their way to improve the game by a large amount. Maybe big fixes at best but I wouldn't hold my breath for any large graphical changes.

    That's a pretty shitty atitiude towards anything,The game is worth 15$ and was released in what 2007 that 7 years ago.It's already is a very expensive game and over that they have shitty non customizable controls,Crap graphics and an unplayable framerate,They should be looking to give the players the best game possible not a copout novelty that doesn't work,Try playing the game at higher difficulty it's almost impossible due to the technical issues.

    That attitude right there is the reason why we have such shitty ports on ios(Xcom and the godawful peice of shit Dq8 port),I really hope they don't think like that and are trying to fix the port otherwise it's one less customer for their future releases.

    In other words learn from Firemonkey look att RR3 it has been updated what 25 times till now and is still consistently improved to this day,Same is the case to a lesser extent with asphalt 8.If they can't even give us customizable controls which are there in pc version which you can pick for lesser amount than they should give up on it already and start making angry bird,Candy crush clones and forget about being considered serious game devs and maybe stop ruining the game's legacy with such a disgraceful port.

    There are many indie Devs out there adding new content to their games consistently with new updates and if these multi million dollar earning big publishers can't even bother optimising their games then they don't deserve an ounce of respect from their customers and should seriously give up on being professional at anything in their life.The game shouldn't have released in the state it was and should have deserved better treatment instead what we got is a lazy and downright ugly port which can't be called anything more than 'not that bad'.
    I shoudn't be fighting the fps,Controls or distracting visuals rather than enjoying the game.Look at how Re4 was ported to ps2 from gamecube that's how you do ports.

    Ye, I also doubt they will optimise it any further.
    I've played it for maybe an hour before deleting it completely from my device. I can't stand these shitty framerates.
    I gave up on counting games which I've bought and weren't optimised at all. Complete waste of money imo.

    But hey, all this f2p crap is running smooth at least.^^

    The amusing about it is that it runs at the same or even lower res game that was showcased in that 2008 trailer for iphone 1 seriously the resolution seems to be lower than 120p,It's 'that' bad and people on these forums are like well I can still play it though and have fun with it,Tell you what if you're so desperate that you have that to 'find' fun in the game then you've already lost argument,You can have fun with anything better yet put down your phone and start a tooth brush fight,That would also be just as 'fun' as playing a 120p shooter at 10fps and you wouldn't have to pay a dime for it either.
