'Apex Legends Mobile' revealed

apex-mobile.jpg

Yet another battle royale game lands on mobile platform and this time it's Apex Legends. Aptly titled Apex Legends Mobile, the title is said to have been "specially designed for touchscreens, with streamlined controls and thoughtful optimizations" that still remains true to the original. The game will roll out with a small series of beta tests in India and the Philippines beginning Spring 2021 on Android devices; with plans to add iOS support and expanding to other regions down the line.

Being designed specially for mobile platforms, Apex Legends Mobile won’t feature cross-play with the console or PC versions of Apex Legends. The mobile version will also be free-to-play and include its own Battle Passes, cosmetic items, and unlockables different than the PC and console versions.

Well, if the Nintendo Switch can run a playable version, I don't think it's that hard to port that version to mobile.

I am curious to see a comparison with the two versions.

The point I was making is that Fortnite runs "ok" on the switch but on modern phones it runs flawlessly. If the same logic is put onto the Switch version of Apex, Apex would run very well on a phone.
I would say that the reason they are making it a completely separate version is the amount of assets and the file size. No one is going to keep a 20 gb game on their phone

Actually, even though the current Smartphones are more powerful than the Switch, the Nintendo Switch version of Fortnite is superior to the Smartphone version in some points, such as in textures and models.

But on the Smartphone you have the option of being able to run at a higher resolution and with a better frame-rate if your smartphone is powerful enough to handle it.

I can't explain exactly why this is, but I find it impressive, recently Epic even managed to improve the version of the Switch even more.

So I can now play Loba twice simultaneously ?
Noice.

Considering the switch being 2015 smartphone hardware, this is not surprising.

It amuses me how I actually like this game.
I blame the epic lore and coop aspect done right.

I mean. wtf. Cool community.

Diseased, rotting platform needs to be put out of its worm-infested, pus-filled misery. Kill it with fire.

Also, battle royale is nothing but another passing trend. It was MMOs, then military FPSs, now BR. It'll shrink soon enough, so don't even bother porting your game to an objectively-inferior and distrusted platform.

  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s

  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    run h2testw on it

    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying
