Is it really that bad? I am getting a 5s again tomorrow and was going to buy this game even though I already beat all 3 of the games on the PC. I guess I just love the idea of doing a 2nd play through with my phone. Have any of the devs spoken at all about the games issues that you guys are mentioning? I am going to wait now for a sale I guess or for some fixes.
Imo it's a waste of money,I t could have been something special if the devs cared but sadly they don't so I wouldn't hold my breath for any bug fixes in the near future.Maybe if the temptation of being featured by going metal brings about any improvements then it's fine otherwise fixing the res is amatter of seconds specially on the UdK if they cared they would've fixed them like long ago,Or if they cared we wouldn't be having thks discussion right now. Save your money and look elsewhere.
The vitriol in this thread is a bit crazy... You guys do know that the game hasn't been in the App Store for even a full month, right?! 2K actually has a track record of updating their games (premium or otherwise. XCom alone has had five updates since its release!) so why don't you guys, y'know, wait for 2K to release an update when they're done addressing the known issues with the game before badmouthing them and their business decisions?
Minor flaws can be ignored not major ones which are plenty in this port,Xcom is another crap port which crashes and lags all the time and looks dog shit on my device.I would expect million dollar studios like 2k to give enough time and attention to their games specially for the ridculous price they ask for them.I don't have anything against them personally but their work speaks for itself.
What does UDK have to do with BioShock? It was a big controversy when BioShock was originally released in 2007, but BioShock uses a heavily customized Unreal Engine 2.5 with some bits from Unreal Engine 3 and lots of unique proprietary code for things like water effects. So porting BioShock and making changes to the engine is a lot more complicated than flipping a switch in UDK. Especially now that Irrational Games, the original developers of BioShock, is closed and most of the original programmers who would be familiar with the custom engine are likely gone. If updates are slow it's not because 2K is sitting around twiddling their thumbs. We just have to hope it's not because they've bit off more than they can chew.
It's a shame that an high price game like this doesn't receive a support from 2k! I'm going to buy the new iPhone 6 the 26th September but with my old 5S 64gb the game is a piece of s**t, horrible graphics(maybe 320*480) and lag in high ennvironments!
Speaking personally, I've had XCom on my iPod Touch 5G for a year, and never had to deal with any sort of lags and the occasional - though very rare - crash (usually solved after a short reboot of my device). Obviously it doesn't look as good as it does while running on an iPhone 5S or an iPad, but it still looks good enough for me to only notice any ugliness if I'm actively looking for it. I haven't played Bioshock - not compatible with iPod models - but I'd just advise you guys to be patient. This is a major game in the App Store, it hasn't been too long since its release: I'm 99% sure you'll see an update in the recent future. Again, you do realize the game hasn't been out for a full month yet, right?! Unless something REALLY game breaking takes place, developers don't usually update their apps so soon after release. By now, I'm willing to bet that the development team is aware of the main issues with the game right now and are working to fix them. Add to that the fact that they need to make the game iOS8-compatible and I'm sure they'll want to kill two birds with one stone. Thank you! I'm not defending 2K because I love this game (I've never played it), because they're my favorite gaming company (they're not) or because I'm one of those "who cares? You've got BIOSHOCK on your PHONE!!1!"; I'm just perplexed by the negativity going on in this thread, when you're talking about a major-scale game (any significant updates - graphically or otherwise - won't be achieved overnight) that hasn't been out for long and already people are up in arms, calling for 2K's figurative blood! There are certain devices that are incapable of running GTA: San Andreas without the game lagging. Mine luckily isn't one of those devices, but the people who complain about this issue on the game's thread have a point, since that game's been out for a while and the issue - to my knowledge - still hasn't been fixed. Bioshock, on the other hand, has not been out for nearly enough time for 2K to drop support. I'm sure an update is coming, so just settle down and wait. If the next couple of weeks/months prove me wrong, then by all means, people, carry on as you have been...
Seriously. Bought it and LOVED it. Pricey? Yes. Tough without MFi? Definitely, but one of he beat full experiences I've ever had in iphone (and my 5S)
The "trolls" are most likely eople who experienced the original version on pc or console. If you go from that to the ios version it's like replacing your hdtv with a standard tube (maybe not that bad but you get the idea). If the ios version is your first time, then yes I can see how it's pretty awesome.
There's a handful of INI files with references to resolution. I tried playing around with these but no success (appear to reference PC resolutions). Maybe someone can fiddle a bit more and fix the resolution issues.
Yep,but this happen,but with tris game you're sure when you buy it,that never Will add IAP or go freemium,and for me,it's a garancy,like all ROCKSTAR GAMES..
Not really, I feel it's just a bit close to release for a price cut as a premium game. I haven't got ios version yet and as much as I enjoyed it first time round not sure I'll bother. But it is a great game the story, vocals & atmosphere work together to build a great experience. Premium games require a premium price, otherwise they will become extinct! There are plenty cheap or free games for you out and ready for download.
Too many pages to read back...buttons are not customizable ? And no invert of the y-axis (i read it somewhere), is that right ? Thanks in advance.
