First Infinity Blade Update Coming

The update will include a higher level cap, more gear, and a new enemy called the Marrow Fiend. The Marrow Fiend is an orc-like monster with a sword and shield made of bones. We're hoping that this intimidating-looking sword and shield set are going to be among the five new swords, shields, helmets, and single new ring that will be arriving in the update as well.

Another, goofier update is the antler-like Holiday Helm, adding Infinity Blade to the long list of App Store games that throw in a little Christmas cheer this time every year.

Finally, Infinity Blade's level cap has been raised from 40 to 45, you can now purchase virtual gold with real-world money, and the game now supports playing your own music.

[Nirolak]

There were some new screenshots with the announcement.

 

[neojubei]

Thanks Nirolak, I'll put them in the OP

 

[shwimpy]

I'll give it a whirl for 6 bucks.

 

[MNC]

Consider me fucking amazed with these screenshots (Though bullshots? What's the native res for the iPad?)

is this a game proper or a sucky gladiatoresque game? I remember there being an awesome engine but nothing done with it.

 

[V_Ben]

My 3G sits, crying in the corner. Gonna have to upgrade soon :lol

1024 × 768 is the iPad resolution.

 

[Shalashaska161]

Cool, I'll buy it when it comes out. No idea what the gameplay is like, but its cheap and pretty enough that I don't really care.

1024-by-768-pixel resolution at 132 pixels per inch (ppi)

Edit: beaten, although I want to know at what framerate it is running before buying.

 

[neojubei]

Totally buying it and will buy again for a gift to some friends.

 

[itxaka]

that looks too good to be real screens.

 

[McBradders]

Fuuuu-

Will buy. Day 1.

Fuuuu- dem polygons

 

[commedieu]

"Screenshots" from epic..

meh. Interesting art design though.

 

[Dabanton]

Amazing. I can't wait to try this out.

 

[Linkup]

this man should be shot

If it's anything like Epic Citadel, it should run like a dream. Though I'm gonna assume that Infinity Blade will be pushing significantly more polys, so who knows.

 

[markatisu]

I am there! Love to support things that push the hardware

 

[Thunderbear]

Want this game. IGN's coverage of this game has left me very excited! Especially for such a cheap game!

 

[lordfroakie]

Can't wait! Will buy day one

 

[dallow_bg]

So cheap! Must be short.

 

[Dreamwriter]

They are calling it an "action RPG".

that looks too good to be real screens.

Lotta people saying this, but they already released the tech demo the game is based on, and that game runs perfectly smooth with awesome graphics.

 

[Skilletor]

How does it play?

 

[bernardobri]

My iTouch 2g definitely won't run this at a decent framerate :lol

EDIT: Oh god, it won't run at all. :lol

...

 

[donkey show]

Wow, that's a lot sooner than I had expected. This is perfect as it'll be out right before I head on vacation.

 

[Talon]

that looks too good to be real screens.

That's what I said until I ran Epic Castle (or whatever) on my iPhone 4. Granted, it's a tech demo with nothing but art assets, but it looked incredible.

 

[mattiewheels]

Thanks Nirolak, I'll put them in the OP

But it's the next post up... :lol

Is this like a brawler with swipe controls? I don't see gameplay details anywhere.

 

[loosus]

They're going to end up making me get a fucking iPad. I can feel it.

How do you control this game? Touch screen only, or can you tether a Bluetooth controller?

 

[user_nat]

Hopefully there is some free trial.

Might get it anyhow.

 

[Tobor]

Cannot wait!

And supposedly their porting Shadow Complex next.

 

[Skilletor]

Can you do this with any iOS game?

Epic had a demostration when the game was code named project sword

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dZRr3FT7H-Y

And this is the official trailer

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MLWDVJERemA

 

[brain_stew]

No dynamic shadows confirmed then.

 

[Wallach]

I fear for the battery life of any iDevice running this... :lol

 

[lupinko]

And supposedly their porting Shadow Complex next.

DO WANT!!!!

 

[mattiewheels]

No dynamic shadows confirmed then.

:lol

Anyway, hope there's a trial version of this.

 

[LCfiner]

cool.

I hope it doesn’t suck!

Rage HD left me disappointed, let’s see how Epic fares.

 

[Dreams-Visions]

Day one.

 

[Plasma]

Cannot wait!

And supposedly their porting Shadow Complex next.

I wonder if they'll be porting this to the 360 for kinect, controls could work I guess, swiping motions.

Will be picking this up day one looks really cool.

 

[neojubei]

Cannot wait!

And supposedly their porting Shadow Complex next.

Yup that is the rumors. I bet if Infinity Blade sells well, we might see Shadow Complex on the iOS.

 

[A Human Becoming]

My iTouch 2g definitely won't run this at a decent framerate :lol

EDIT: Oh god, it won't run at all. :lol

...

Glad I just upgraded to 4g.

 

[indigo-cyclops]

God damn this looks AMAZING. So happy I'm hanging on to my 4G iPod. Even though I haven't used it since I got my Droid, I will be pulling it out to play this non-stop.

 

[sixteen-bit]

looks really impressive

 

[Boards of Canada]

Can't believe this is from a cellphone / iPod. Quite impressive.

 

[Technosteve]

Noo Preorder Bonus?????

 

[Doodis]

Super excited for this. And I don't normally get excited over mobile games. :lol

 

[neojubei]

Noo Preorder Bonus?????

Don't give apple any ideas

 

[Dreamwriter]

My iTouch 2g definitely won't run this at a decent framerate :lol

Yeah, unlike Rage, this game takes advantage of the new GPU Apple put in the 3GS/third gen iPod Touch and above, and probably the extra RAM as well.

 

[neojubei]

Probably not since it supports the iphone 3GS and iPad, both of which have 256MB of ram

edit: oh yeah the GPU forgot about that. The game might be better on the iphone 4 because of ram.

 

[Lonely1]

Well, 2G had 128.

4th gen ipod touch has 256 MB of ram, not 512
