4:3 aspect ratio (why?) and touchscreen controls, haha

Brilliant move, just brilliant.

Is it for humans?

If it is, then the metascore should go from 96 to 69 (yeah, I went there).

Ie. Mount & Blade Warband.

Really? Looks pretty genuine to me. Although there is, indeed, a fake version predating it...

M&B is strictly a not present on crappy platforms title. That's why its PC exclusive.

The only version I saw was less than 10 megs, and according to all the reviews it was just spamming out ads.

Well, the one I'm seeing is 802 megs and has 106 5-star reviews.

So it is and does.

Most importantly it was submitted by TaleWorlds Entertainment, not "Best Apps Assets".

I always feel robbed when devs and publishers create hype about amazing new stuff and then it's just a mobile port.
It makes me miss my old Nokia brick.

So what will this game actually be? Several people seem to have jumped to the conclusion that it will be a direct port, but do you actually have any evidence of that? Personally, I would find it a lot more likely that it will turn out to be an original title, based on Bioshock.


And why are people so intent on calling games on phones "fake games"? Just because the ones that get a lot of attention are rather simple (and just a reminder, simple does not equal bad. Pac-man was simple, defender was simple, missile command was simple, and those were all great games!), does not mean that all games are simple. I've got several strategy games (and World of Goo) installed on my phone, and those could easily be released on PC and considered to be good games (World of Goo was released on PC, and it is a good game).

Actually, devs from the 80s are getting jobs again in mobile gaming because of their abilities to create games with limited resources.


And about the port-yes, it seems it's just a port of the first game. I've seen some articles stating that. You also had this hype about the first Bioshock going on in the past weeks.

Well, the video posted somewhere around here showed very specific scenes from Bioshock 1, including scripts associated with them, so - yes, a port.

Not that it would be a bad thing.
