WHAT IS THIS BULLSHIT????

I completely agree, it should be on Android first.

 

[Hadrian]

Expect a bullshit price point for it too.

Did any of people think that by releasing the game on IOS they were merely doing market research to determine whether there was enough interest in the series before they decide to invest in a sequel

I hope no one would make such a game, even if there are enough characters to pull it off.


Anyway, I hope this is a double troll and there is something better.

Of all platforms, though?

It was a thought.

I don't see why they couldn't put this on 3DS eShop or something. A lot of developers should port their DS titles to their, some already have to DSiWare (the cheap shitty games like Commando: Steel Disaster) but I think a lot of these high profile publishers are missing out on some good sales.

What's wrong with iOS? It has a bit of a different demographic, it can work for the game, and it's available across a wide variety of devices. Why release it on the 3DS when people can just play the DS version, the Vita which is selling poorly, the Wii which is dead, or the Xbox 360 or PS3 which are just honestly too large for a game like this.

If anything they're testing to see how far the appeal of the franchise can go and may help determine if it's worth expanding.

On that crap platform? I doubt it.

If they were wanting market research then they would release it on everything from PCs, to PS3 to Xbox to Wii and Android not just icrap.

 

[Hyro-Sama]

Not that it means much but you guys saw this correct?

 

[Just Another Gamer]

So there might be a sequel after all of atleast a port with more content.

Oh hurr hurr I hate Apple their so dumb hurr hurr. The iOS hate train stopped being cool to ride years ago.


The issue with those platforms is that odds are the same people who bought the game already would just buy the game again or not bother to buy it at all. They're almost all the same demographic. Or the other issue is that the console is dead (Wii) or has shit controls to use with it (Xbox 360 or PS3).

Square Enix isn't going to invest in a brand that can't expand. When was the last time Square Enix kept going on a brand that can't go multiplatform and reach millions of sales?

 

[boktor666]

Um, kotaku and the twitter post are denying anything defenite.. Keep waiting a little longer... but I'm certainly dissappointed if this were to be iOS...

They could still do things with the DS or 3DS like an extended port or something instead of doing a rerelease on the icrap and I don't do it because its "cool" I want to do it because they're a bitch of a company that doesn't deserve anything after what they did to Samsung but that is a conversation for a different thread.

Ok you have proved that you're fucking stupid. Wii? WII? You know how many people would buy it on there? Hardly anyone, it's a dead platform for these kind of games and most people have a DS anyway so they can play it on there. Other platforms, it would not work well and then we just have 3DS and other than eShop it would be dumb to release it any other way.

iOS is a huge platform, even for types of these games they have a market.

You do know that I only ran down console names with little regard to if its dead or not but my point stands that they could've done something on the 3DS or DS atleast and give it some life like I said earlier an extended port or release it on the eShop.

but that still doesn't guarantee a success. I mean, come on, how would you have TWEWY on an iOS device? How would it play But im 2nd'ing the Wii part, nobody wants that anymore etc. etc.

Of course it doesn't but they're reaching out to a wider audience. How would it play? Don't you have an imagination? I can easily picture how it would play.

I'm not defending iOS, it does the job and nothing more but it's an attractive platform for developers like SE and their previous success with the platform has led them to release this game onto the service. They're not stupid, they have obviously done the research.

Except they'd have to sell it for damn cheap on the iOS platform, I don't know very many people that pay a lot for games on there. And let's be honest, Square has never sold anything cheap on the store.
