    Eeww McDonalds is for fatties. CoD is way way too arcady ever since Battlefield 3 came out on consoles.

    I think it's more of a one side gets free updates while the other has to pay extra for the updates sort of thing. Is the HD version going to be universal at least, especially for the newcommers? Seems like a good business model other developers have taken.

    Well yes, usually HD implies universal, unless it's iPad only...

    According to PocketGamer.uk UniWar HD will be universal.

    I understand as an iOS gamer about not getting free updates while say Android gamers get it without paying extra - yes it maybe a few bucks but when iOS users are used to buying multiple apps, it stacks up. But the iOS app is only 99 cents and it was free for a day I think. Though I can understand that it must suck majorly for those who paid $5 for it like Android gamers would have to and not get the update like Android gamers. It's simply more feasable to charge extra money to Android gamers where piracy is much more heavily rampant and I'm able to normally make 4x more on iOS apps because of this. Plus this is a good game, it's worth the extra money.

    Not really. I usually download more iPad games and I have a ton of iPad-only games that have HD at the end of the name that aren't universal. It's becoming more common, but still when I see HD at the end of a game I think it's more than likely iPad only

    Since it's not out in New Zealand, I guess it's not coming today either . . . :(

    If you are watching for the release, the dev's Facebook page is active:

    http://www.facebook.com/pages/UniWar/76517322579

    Here's that PocketGamer.uk article Psykikgmr mentioned in case anyone is interested:

    Edit: An update from the UniWar Facebook page:

    Seems like it probably still needs App Store approval too, so we might not see it until next week . . . :(

    Thanks for the updated info, I'll add it to the first post.


    Well this sucks, apparently it was supposed to be released last November but it's had so many delays. Oh well enough great games are coming out this week so it's all good.

    Hey guys, if you check out the Uniwar website (www.uniwar.com), you'll see an announcement posted by one of the devs.

    Here it is -

    HD version to be released on the Android Market this week
    Posted by: Xavier | Jan 11, 2012

    Thank you all for your patience... We are very close to releasing it on Android. Just after that, we will submit the iPhone/iPad version to the AppStore. It's coming...

    Yeah most likely next week, and that's if they submit within the next day or so, it takes Apple awhile (1 week if not more) for them approve an app.

    Just as an FYI, on iOS, the old non-HD version of Uniwar WILL still be available.

    From the dev's FaceBook:

    Yet another update on the UniWar HD situation:

    From the dev's FaceBook:

    It seems like, if all goes well, we may see the release on the App Store early the week after next (Week of the 23rd). :)

    Given that, from the dev's FaceBook:

    It'd better be since they're making us wait longer . . . :(

    They'd better fix LOTS of bugs they find in the Android version . . . -_-

    Oh well, at least Soulcalibur is coming next week . . . minus my favorite charater, Talim. She's from Soulcalibur II, so at least that makes sense . . .

    Another Update!

    From the Uniwar FaceBook:

    So, they should be submitting Uniwar HD to the App Store before the end of the week! :)

    Well, since there has been no update on FaceBook since Monday, I'm assuming they aren't finished with 1.5.2 yet, so we probably won't see UniWar HD on the App Store until the week after next at the earliest (the week of the 30th) . . . :(

    From the dev's Facebook this morning:

    So, I'm not sure if this means that the iOS version will be submitted next week or that the iOS version will be approved next week. Either way, I'm excited! :D
