technically galcon is the best RTS for the iphone right now, IMO how is scrolling? i dont like the radar/interface on Strat. Assault... but if it plays like C&C, and has a interface, scrolling that makes sense..i might buy it
Touch the gameplay area, move, and the map will scroll. Touch the gameplay area with two fingers, a selection rectangle will appear. Move your fingers to make it bigger or smaller, let go, and the units within said rectangle will be selected. Works VERY well. I'll be showing that on my video as well.
Hi gents, I'm a developer on Warfare Incorporated - I thought I'd chime in on the conversation. We've aimed to bring high quality RTS gaming to handheld devices - with this release, specifically crafted for iPhone and iPod Touch. Please give it a try and judge for yourself. You can read about awards / reviews here: http://www.warfareincorporated.com/awards.html. There is a lot of content to play - story missions, challenge missions, and "add-on" missions. There is a full blown mission editor so users can create their own add-on missions and share them with the community. There is in-game integrated add-on mission pack browsing and download. Multiplayer is currently in beta (please join the beta team if you're interested in helping). Some detail: it supports 2-4 players over edge, 3g, and wifi. Players meet in an internet game lobby to join or start games. Any questions, fire away. I'll try to answer them.
Hey scott! I'm very excited about WI's release. I'm waiting for the coupon so I can get the game and write a review on the Canadian AppStore Also, I'll be making a short youtube overview of the gameplay, to give people a better idea of the polish of Warfare Inc. Pictures really don't do it justice.
We need a video review Thinking about buying it but reulctant because of the upcoming apps like Simcity, Ronaldo, and NFS.....
My only concern is regarding graphics. Are they the same of other devices or they are better ones to fit iPhone higher resolution? I've already heard the graphics are nice and graphics are low resolution.
here is how i view it, if the gameplay is there..the graphics dont have to be special, cause zi eyes will adjust i would rather have amazing gameplay, then "Krull" style graphics
Yes, I understand. But I just don't want to play a great game with a subpar graphics. And I also don't want to play a boring game with great graphics. For me a well balanced game counts a lot. But that's me.
Warfare's graphics on the iPhone are designed for 480x320, which is the highest resolution of the iPhone. They aren't low resolution.
I was filming my review and got phone calls TWICE during gameplay While you wait for my iPhone-specific review, you can take a look at the Palm-version gameplay here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jeqsgILoAcA It's the basically the same, except now you have the ability to select units via multi-touch, which works AWESOME.
The graphics aren't subpar and the game isn't boring, I assure you Graphics are comparable to, say, the first Command and Conquer's. And the gameplay leaves nothing to be desired. The ability to download user-made maps (combined with the multiplayer feature, which is being beta tested as we speak and will come in future updates) will grant Warfare Inc amazing replay value.
Will you be able to add friends or have a friend list of some sort so you can easily locate your friends and play them (when multiplayer comes out)? Also, when do you think it would be safe to expect online gameplay? If you have/add that to the game, I will DEFINITELY buy it as I love strategy games as well as online games. My final question - it says on the description page that there is a "full mission editor." Does this mean you can edit missions on your iPhone or do you have to create them on your computer and download them into the game? Thanks in advance
Thank you for the answer. I was quite confusing about it mainly because I've already played some low quality ports that used the exact same graphics.
Funny you should say that, I mentioned the buddy list feature to scott a few weeks ago when I started beta testing the game, and I also mentioned the lack of such feature on the Galcon thread here. Being able to play with people online is awesome; being able to find your friends and play with them is 10 times better. The reason I don't play Galcon anymore is because it frustrates me to know that I have 6 friends who own the game but no easy way to arrange games with them!
I'm still thinking about how to find and play friends the best way. Nothing to announce yet, except to say I agree it's important! The mission editor runs on a PC. I didn't port it to the iPhone (at least, not yet) because you really want to author missions on a PC. Laying out the map and units, creating all the triggers, creating the unit groups, entering the mission text, etc - you really want the big screen of a PC to do these.
two questions before you have sold me one, is the mission editor Free? and how do you port your custom missions to your iphone and two, with fear of a sudden price drop in a week, do you think it will stay @ its existing price for at least some reasonable time? thanks
Wait, so what's the "full mission editor" that's mentioned in the description on the app store? I'm confused... I thought it was on the game? So, does the mission editor work on Macs?
One request after playing all day long. Quick keys for your units, so you can play the different types of units with a little stategy, and easier to control big groups of guys edit a few more requests.... the ability to "set to" on the building that build stuff, to get the men out of the way and to a specific spot. and auto attack stuff that is shooting you first then attack buildings (as opposed to just sitting there)
