It should run fine on a 3G... it runs well on my first gen ipod, and the 3g is a bit faster than that, as I understand it.
I think that people have lost the definition of RPG - Role Playing Game. Most 'RPG's have nothing at all to do with role playing. Since Ravensword isn't out yet, no one can really make arguments as to if it is or isn't. But, a true role playing game will put you in a role which you have to play, not just give you a bit of difference in how the game is played. Games like Oblivion and The Quest are true Role playing games, but in ways, less so than old favourites: Ultima which had morals which your character could utterly fail in. I have high hopes that some of the great mechanics of the Elder Scrolls series will come to the iPhone, I wait in trepidation.
With the fact that rockstar announced a GTA for the iPhone shortly after Gangstar came out... It's only a matter of time before Bethesda decides to make oblivion for the iPhone, for now ravensword is as close as we will get elder scrolls.
From what I've heard Bethesda took 13 years to develop Oblivion, and I don't think they have any intention of doing a sequel or any other version. Sounds like they just got sick of it... That being said - there are always suprises on the App store!
Bethesda worked on oblivion for a total of 4 years but they have been working on the elder scrolls series as a whole for 13 years. Todd Howard has confirmed that they do plan on making an elder scrolls V. However until then I'm counting on ravensword to help me get my rpg fix. Btw I think that last batch of screens was the best yet.
Oh wow, I never realised that before. I just had another thought to add, this game is going to be killer on my battery life isn't it.
it will be something more - when we finish it of course. just had to put something up for people to look at until we have time to work on it.
This is coming along really well Josh! I can't wait to see more. P.S. I hope you have remembered my offer.
twitter page I started the twitter page - here it is: http://www.twitter.com/ravensword_rpg when the video is done, it will be linked there.
I really only just became familiar with this, and it certainly looks nice, but I don't want to read through pages and pages...any idea how near this is to submission?
Well, Russ stated last week that they were shooting for submission around the 15th but Josh stated a few days ago that if they go with a publisher then that could obviously change things. BTW, they are releasing a seperate version for the 3GS.
Its the same version for both 3GS and 3G, touch. Heres the preliminary options menu. If you turn the shadows off and set the FPS target higher, it will adjust for best possible frame rate. If you set it low and turn shadows on, it will look better but the frame rate will be lower.
