So, according to IGN, an incoming update will add the following features: - iPhone (4S and up) and iPod Touch (5th gen) compatibility; - Improved visuals, with shadow effects and bloom lightning (on A7 models); - Widescreen support; - Controller compatibility. Source: http://uk.ign.com/articles/2013/12/12/everything-you-need-to-know-about-the-big-kotor-update Speaking only for myself, I'm thrilled to see that KOTOR will make its way to my iPod Touch, though I'm very curious to see what (if anything) will be lost on the transition. All in all, I think everyone comes out of this one a winner, eh?!
I'm just thrilled they're adding shadows. The game looks so off without even just a circular blob underneath them.
Yes! I knew it would be universal at some point! San Andreas,and now KOTOR will be on my iPod! Oh this will be magical to pick up once the update drops.
Any word about updating the touch controls? I know that the actuall control scheme is not as akward as it looks but I would really like the option to have some virtual analog stick. If GTA that is a much more action oriented game than KOTOR managed with virtual sticks can't see why this game can't!
Dammit! I've bought it two weeks ago and played through it in three or four days...with crappy graphics D-; and now they implemented enhanced graphics. That took so long?! Anyways, one of the best RPGs i'd played in my lifetime...and i'm old...i mean, yeah, old.
The update is scheduled to go live this Thursday, December 19. Read more: http://www.148apps.com/news/knights-republic-update-inbound-includes-improved-visuals-updated-interface-universal/#ixzz2ng956vqr
The info still says updated visuals only for the latest devices.I would be pissed if they leave the shadows out of the iPad 4 version.Since i don't care for universal support (i have a 4s but my iPad always with me anyway..),the update would be quite useless for me.
Ya if this doesn't look better on my iPad 3, don't need shadows but higher res graphics would be nice, then this update is kind of useless for me.
I've a fifth gen iPod,I don't much care for shadows and graphics though. I own the steam version so I'm kinda almost in the same boat but I do plan on buying this when the update drops
For shadows and graphic improvements on A7 devices only, I wouldn't be surprised, as I see it as a straight port of a retired PC engine that probably requires more horsepower to do less things. Either way, I hope Dantooine finally has grass again...
I am not wild about going to small screens (but I am curious how the UI and text would be). I am not entitled to the new visuals, but some how, I have a gut feeling there are other elements which would draw me into restarting the whole thing just to enjoy them... Tomorrow is a big day.
