Re: First pic of Lunar for ios

What is the difference? Traditionally, a port implies the code and/or assets have been updated/reworked for the new platform. An emulated title is typically just the game's ROM with an emulator, thrown together and shoved out the door. Compare Square Enix's Final Fantasy iOS ports (especially FF3 a...

Re: Portal 2 is awesome

It's really a great experience. I know several other people IRL who have played it, and everything thinks it's a strong candidate for Game of the Year. I don't like FPSes personally, but it's just THAT good. Although not strictly necessary, I think you will enjoy Portal 2 much more after having gone...

Re: "Lunar Makes Its Way To iOS Devices Out West"

That was the one thing a lot of people didn't like; I've heard the art team had no real reference art and decided to experiment. They were appropriately beaten. As for the stretching of sprites, this was done to be accurate to the original -- most emulators don't do this, but parts of Vay were displ...

Oh, that's all there is to it, really, though I think Parish probably makes good points about touch control problems, too. And what would you preferred they had done? A virtual d-pad?

Re: "Lunar Makes Its Way To iOS Devices Out West"

Well, the vast majority of the reviews the port of Vay were quite positive, but that said, if you're just referring to the graphical changes, then I agree they don't match.

But were there other aspects you didn't like? If so, what were they?

Re: "Lunar Makes Its Way To iOS Devices Out West"

Even a cursory look at the Vay port should make this statement a cause of lamentation. Haters gonna hate. But, you know, Vay was the first RPG on an iOS device, and it had no precedent to go on as for what people liked and didn't like; many of the subsequent RPGs that have come out used Vay as a gu...

Re: "Lunar Makes Its Way To iOS Devices Out West"

And yet for those with iOS devices, this may translate into the most inexpensive investment.
