F*** the filesize. With a game like this, filesize is the least of my concerns! Now what i need is a retina screen ipad mini and i will be ready for this.
My favorite game of the last few years on my ipad is just too awesome to think about. I'm gonna have a nap so it releases sooner

Don`t expecting that X-Com will sell for less then that since Maxis/Firaxis has probably seen that Square Enix sell their Games at that Price Tag without seeing anyone bitching about it except the usual Morons.

I was excited to see Enemy Unknown out on consoles and never expected to play it on iOS; amazing news. I have never ever heard any developer lament that there was a App Store file size limit; that will be interesting. Hopefully not too many maps were cut or they can be added as DLC or some other way later. ...+1 to recommending Aliens Versus Humans. MidianGTX Well-Known Member Jun 16, 2009 3,738 10 38 #28 MidianGTX, Mar 23, 2013 Best turn-based strategy game in recent memory. Nothing else matters. Less maps is a shame though, too few maps is a common complaint even on the PC version.

All those that buy the Game ahead of the Launch are getting the PC Game for Free on Steam too and Websites like Green Man Gaming are still having a Sale on it. crex Doctor of Game of the Week-ology Oct 18, 2010 7,679 10 0 Everywhere and Nowhere #32 crex, Mar 24, 2013 Never played an XCOM game, but the fact that 2K is offering a current gen console game on iOS devices is a huge stepping stone for iOS gaming as a whole. Twenty One Well-Known Member Jan 19, 2012 288 0 0 Oil & Gas Engineer Oklahoma City, USA #33 Twenty One, Mar 24, 2013 Sweet! Wow...Great news for iOS gaming!! I've played the console version and its really fun and challenging even if it is a bit "shallow" on tactics. I think this game (and similar games) are actually better suited for the iPad as opposed to consoles with a control pad or even a PC with a mouse/keyboard. Having this and Civ Rev both on the App Store is outstanding and really shows how serious Firaxis is with iOS.....lets just hope more and more Devs take notice! And yes, I agree with you guys, this is a HUGE step for iOS gaming. Lets just HOPE that they do multiplayer....both asychronous and synchronous would be preferable. backtothis im in ur base killin ur d00dz Staff Member Patreon Silver Patreon Gold Patreon Bronze Jul 13, 2009 13,249 1 0 college student (junior) Houston/Austin, TX https://twitter.com/back2this #34 backtothis, Mar 24, 2013 Last edited: Mar 24, 2013 Can't believe a port of a current gen. console game took this long to grace the iOS. This is going to be amazing. It better be priced at $30 minimum considering what SE charges for the FF ports. Edit: I'd pay $25 for it easily. Going higher than $30 would be kind of silly because it's already been on sale for that price. Going much lower than about $25 destroys the value of the game on other platforms. Lost_Deputy Well-Known Member Jan 27, 2013 1,773 0 0 Venue Manager Sydney #35 Lost_Deputy, Mar 24, 2013 Agreed with above. If quality, charge super premium ($25-$15). It will get huge support and give other console devs a bench mark Triscuitable Well-Known Member Dec 24, 2011 829 0 0 Games Journalist Seattle, WA #36 Triscuitable, Mar 24, 2013 I'd love to start seeing simultaneous releases of big-name strategy titles like this on iOS and PC. PC, OSX, and iOS are unique platforms, in that they're highly modular. Making the game for all three wouldn't be incredibly difficult; the iOS version would be a bit of an endeavor, though. scubi Active Member Oct 12, 2008 41 0 0 #37 scubi, Mar 24, 2013 Too little too late for a PC gamer? Having bought and beat the PC version, I am not sure I can sink money into a game I have already beaten more than once. I might.... it would be cool to have it portable... If this had come out at the same price at the same time as the PC game, I would have bought the iPad version without hesitation. Now.... I am not so sure.... If you have not played this game... Get this! It's an awesome game with a good story and a great challenge. You won't regret it, even if it is a super premium priced app. volcanopele Well-Known Member Patreon Bronze Mar 27, 2011 303 0 16 Planetary Geologist AZ, US #38 volcanopele, Mar 24, 2013 Now we just need them to release a real port of Civilization, not just watered-down Revolutions. From their teaser video, I am encouraged by their belief that turn-based strategy makes sense on touchscreen devices, so I have hope. iPadisGreat Well-Known Member Dec 10, 2012 2,390 0 0 #39 iPadisGreat, Mar 24, 2013 Last edited: Mar 24, 2013 Day 1 download, if it can fit on my iPad.
