ugh, why did so many of you bashed the game based on some unofficial video? I didnt see it but from the looks of it, it was just a simple gameplay video with nothing else but just the combat part and that too from one of earlier/simpler levels. Every iOS shooter is going to look repetitive/boring if you make the video like this. All the FPS, TPS games are the same - run, duck, aim, shoot, die, rinse, repeat. If you think that part is repetitive, then all those games are repetitive and none are meant for you including shadowgun. What else did you expect in a shooter? Some line drawing / match 3 gameplay to kill the enemies? Of course you're going to have to take cover and shoot the enemies using a gun. As talented as the Madfinger team is with pumping out great graphics from iDevices, they arent magicians. You cant expect it to be as varied as a console shooter. If you dont like the cover part, feel free to act like a superhero and shoot them anyways. Just dont complain when they take you out in 10 seconds! Here's why I like shadowgun. Its a third person tactical shooter with awesome graphics, nice enough story, in game cutscenes, dialogs (agreed nothing groundbreaking but still a lot better than GL offerings) and lots of action. Now if you dont like the shooter part, this game will be repetitive and boring for you. DONT buy it. Its not for everyone. There will be official trailer soon enough and quite a few impressions/reviews for the game to decide if its worth your money. No point in bashing it based on some video. If you are looking for a shooter, you cant go wrong with this one even at 10 bucks (or w/e they'll be charging for it). And if they manage to get the multiplayer working with this engine, you're in for some real treat.
wrong, what about desert zombie? dungeon wars of whatever? applied properly UE3 can run smoothly on the 4th gen.
yes, they can run smoothly (although if you mentioned Dungeon Defenders, that game doesen't (or only on the lowest graphics settings, but then it is really pixelated)), but they don't look as good as this.

Yeah that looks awesome but I guess we won't be able to see things exploding rather things will just disappear like a wave?! I am assuming it's already in the process of approval by apple, so aside from breathtaking graphics and character animation, I wish it had unique features like diving (9mm by GL) when taking a cover.
That looks like fun, the "explosions" are a bit disappointing, I'm guessing explosions would've been too much for current gen devices to handle?(just a guess of course) Either way I don't see it getting in the way of the overall experience. Haven't been able to play Gears of War 3 yet, so this will tide me over until I get my 360 back.
Wow, that was a kickass trailer, the production quality of the cinematics is unbelievable for a mobile device. I wish the explosions had more of a fiery kick though.
I see what they were going for (Mass Effect 2 has those type of shockwave explosions too) but without that satisfying fiery, concussive blast in the middle of it, it just looks like the enemy got delightfully teleported somewhere else rather than utterly destroyed. Edit: actually, reviewing using my iPod Touch, this trailer had a little more of what I was talking about, the IPGN gameplay vid was the one that had the shockwave with no fiery blast. A step in the right direction. Hopefully they've added more of a kick when killing other enemies, especially those huge robots. Overall I'm very impressed.
oh no man, i think they look great now that they added the flame part I'm buying this the second it comes out. Anyone understands the line he says at the end of the video ? It's killing me ^^ "I shouldn't ******* for this job"
