    New thread here: http://forums.toucharcade.com/showthread.php?t=248064

    If anyone has any opinions on the separate app/old version being pulled, please leave them in the new thread and let's keep this one on the topic of the game itself. Thanks.

    Not happening - XCOM:EU barely ran on the touch 5G. They've improved the graphics rendering (regardless of the complaints by some) that there's no way they'd be able to make this one run on a device with the hardware of an iPhone 4S.

    Unfortunately, we saw no update to the touch again this year. If you're looking to game on mobile but not looking to tie it to a phone, consider getting a refurb mini with retina, 32GB is cheaper than the 32GB touch was at launch. I switched from my 5G touch to the mini retina last year and couldn't be happier.

    Super excited for this. Was bummed out when they said they weren't going to release EW.

    Yeah not happy with this game, 8 pound for an add on. I still have too go thru the game again too. Oh well EU was fun.
    Cloud save doesn't work on my iPad 4 8.1 either..

    Yep! The textures have been upscaled - I'm loving the improved look on the armor, the faces, and even the weapons which in the last version were all pixelated and low-res. And - there are shadows now! :)

    Hmm, one thing I noticed though is that they went back and took away the "alien closeup views" that happen when you discovered aliens on the tactical map. Initially with Enemy Unknown this feature was not on iOS but then got added in with future patches. I liked seeing those aliens up close so hope they include it again.

    What cloud saves do you mean?Between EW on two different devices or between EU and EW?The second cannot work for obvious reasons.

    And what is so bad about starting a new game?I played EU 3 times and will play EW as well on ipad,even if i recently finished it on console.The gameplay is just fun and there's so much to explore...even much more with the Cyborg and gen mod stuff now.

    Don't ask for a spoiler as it's also the same ending when you start and finish on Enemy Within - as far as I know, the additional storylines are independent of the main storyline so you will still get to experience it here. Think of this as a "much more improved' Enemy Unknown rather than a new X-com...

    Why can't I choose Asia as HQ. Only North America and Europe?

    If you selected to run the "Tutorial" on your game, it restrics continent choice to these 2. On your next games, if you don't select "Tutorial" again in the options, you can freely select any continent as your starting base location.

    99% sure this info is false. You can disable all add on content in the advanced settings when making a new game, creating vanilla XCOM.

    Can someone with the game test this?

    No it can't disable any add on at advance option..there is second wave option under advance option which only enable randomness results option in gameplay ( which disable by default ).
