Actually, MC2 was good - superb graphics (still some of the best I've seen on iOS) and good gameplay. You're right, I should have mentioned that as well. Let's hope Shadowgun is as good...
Opinions about gameplay are bound to vary widely. I'm sure a lot of folks are going to love Shadowgun, but I'm just as sure that some people will deem it not-as-good-as-a-$60-console-game (TM) and somehow not worth playing. Where you will land in that range of opinion is a mystery (obviously). But the one thing that I can tell you right now based on several playthroughs is this: Shadowgun is not a tech demo. It's a real, bona-fide game. Whether you'll enjoy it more than Jetpack Joyride is open to question (I'm not a fan of JJ myself). But you can be sure that it is a real game.
Nice. I've been waiting for a real hardcore game for a while now. Shadowgun should satisfy that for a long time.
what? they were talking about having to wait tiil mc3 for the next hardcore experience. but warm gun is coming out alongside shadowgun...
For some reason I just can't believe the hype for this game. Until it comes out and see the reviews I have no plans to get this.
This is conjecture, if Warm Gun was just submitted this past Thursday I'm going to wager it will arrive next week. Not this coming Weds/Thurs. Apple typically takes 2 weeks. I am expecting Warm Gun to be highlighted the week after Shadowgun arrives.
IGN have had a few days hands on with the game and it sounds pretty good so far - good controls and smooth graphics that they say are almost on a par with some of the xbox360 launch titles. Looking hopeful...
Yeah, I think both Shadowgun and Warm Gun deserve some recognition. They are both adding something new to iOS shooters.
It depends. If it is releasing on the 28th (its a wednesday) in the US, then yah it will be out on the 27 in NZ. But usually games come out on wednesday's in NZ and Wednesday night in the US. It'll probably be out on the 28th.
