Get hype.

Angry Birds: Space was a good game, so here's hoping. I love Star Trek.

 

[Sir Alemeth]

Day 1....at midnight hopefully

 

[VALIS]

As a fan of the original Angry Birds and AB Seasons I've been getting tired of the formula and the franchise lately. Rio didn't feel the same, Space was pretty clever but I never got that into it, and Bad Piggies is fun but really takes a while to get interesting. But seeing this trailer, yeah. This looks like the good stuff. And I don't give a rat's ass about Star Wars.

 

[goldenticket]

Will buy it for kindle fire for sure and maybe iphone

 

[fernoca]

Where are my midnight launch pics, guys!?

Where are my midnight launch pics, guys!?

I've been sitting outside the App Store in a deck chair for hours already, but there is nobody else here waiting with me to take pics of.

Oh you clever bastard...

 

[dr3upmushroom]

What the hell is going on in those trailers? Like in the Luke and Leia one, I guess Luke is trying to impress Leia with his lightsaber skills, but she's unimpressed, so he feels ashamed and puts the saber away, and then... Leia-bird takes pity on him or something? She smiles at him all of a sudden, did she just not notice him before somehow?

I realize no one expects an Angry Birds game to have great storytelling, but I don't even get what's being conveyed.

Not often that you see two properties jump the shark at the same time.... Liked the original Angry Birds, love Star Wars. But this? Uggh...

First reviews are in??

 

[cRIPticon]

Don't need it. Just the application of Star Wars to Angry Birds is enough to be a deterrent for me.

 

[Corran Horn]

Star Wars you say?

 

[Fusebox]

cRIPticon I don't think you know what jumping the shark is.

 

[Baconsammy]

Yeah, like Star Wars didnt jump the shark 10 years ago.

 

[cRIPticon]

cRIPticon I don't think you know what jumping the shark is.

Indeed I do. And I know that it's not as if Star Wars hasn't been slapped on a ton of crazy stuff over the years, but this... Just not for me at all.

Star Wars jumped the Gungan.

 

[cRIPticon]

Cringe worthy to be sure! I don't know, I guess Angry Birds was always just ok for me and to see SW slapped on this....just not for me.

yep.

Android one is out as well.

Any other ones out?

Gonna sleep soon.

 

[cw_sasuke]

Downloading the Android Version.

 

[dc89]

Game costs £0.69. I only have £0.67 in my App Store wallet and can't be bothered to update my card details. It will have to wait until later.

 

[chickdigger802]

reviews seem good.

Am surprised that the progression of levels is loosely tied to the story of the films. That's pretty badass.

 

[Dynamite Shikoku]

Rovio not doing universal games on iOS is starting to shit me

 

[zoukka]

lol it's done very VERY well. I don't play AB games (I find the gameplay a bit lacking), but people will go fucking nuts over this.


And let's face it. A few yeas into the future, people will always remember Star Wars and associate it with Angry Birds. Deal with it GAF DDDDDD

LEVEL UP YOUR BIRDS - Keep playing and level up your birds to improve their skills!

What angry birds can learn from call of duty.

 

[Fox Mulder]

Maybe I'm an rare person that actually prefers to buy android games, but it's stupid how they only have free ad based versions of their games in the android app market.

Even Gameloft do universal now

 

[Addnan]

Bought, because Star Wars. £1.99 on iPad

Yes you are.

 

[SmokyDave]

Had a real job finding it in the App Store but the links in the OP worked. Downloading now!

 

[StoppedInTracks]

Bought, as I own all AB games.

Here's my ranking:

Space >>> Seasons > OG >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Rio

Rio is utter, tie-in branded crap.

 

[chickdigger802]

It was due to piracy right?

Even Gameloft do universal now

True. Which also makes games like 2gb downloads. which is fine... until the patch comes out and you have to redl the whole game (think you can do something in ios6 now... not sure).

It's still just $4 total. Not like SE selling each version at like $20.

 

[zoukka]

I felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if billions of dollars suddenly cried out and vanished into Rovio's pockets.

Will they? Really? :-s

Can't say I'm too surprised to only see windows phone and windows 8 compatibility mentioned :-s lil odd

AB is like the #1 brand for little kids right now. My friends son has two favourite IP's and now they have merged into a fucking videogame... imagine your two favourite fictional worlds merging into a videogame in your childhood... accompanied with an avalanche of merchandise. Then you will start to see a glimpse of this phenomena.

Wario posted correct links. Rovio bless his angry, feathered soul.

 

[chickdigger802]

can't find it on win 8 store or the phone one.

found this Angry Birds Star Wars hangout of the launch countdown lmao.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=UHd6G0GjURQ

haven't watched it, so beware.

 

[chickdigger802]

holy shit, they made an animated short film based off this game

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=UHd6G0GjURQ#t=2278s

The short film reminds me of the lego star wars cutscenes due to no VA. It's not bad!



btw: I found a $3 HD version of this on android store (linked in OP). Is that a tablet version? No clue how android store works.

Ah ok. That makes a little more sense. Had no idea they were that popular. I enjoyed maybe a couple of hours on Angry birds in the past. Not compelled to play em again but they're fun so all is good.
When I was a kid I remember Turtle action figurines being sold like crazy and supply could not meet demand making the craze crazier.

iirc, with the last few Rovio games, the paid ad-free version was an Amazon Appstore timed exclusive...

 

[RedAssedApe]

Bullshit non-universal games...arghhh

 

[Rootbeer]

grabbed it for iphone. wish it was universal :/ Not that I own an iPad... but i'm considering getting one!

Is this the paid premium one? Not familiar with android.


Also, added PC and Mac versions to OT.
