Not sure I'm liking this update. UI has changed, scores are reset - it looks as though the difficulty curve is smoother. There's also a fifth ship (which I haven't bought yet, "slows time").

My main gripe at the moment though is that it looks noticeably worse than before, unless my eyes deceive me. iPad 3.

Yeah so Sfxt isn't that great at the moment.

I've written up some more detailed thoughts at http://toddhunterreport.wordpress.com/2012/09/19/street-fighter-x-tekken-ios/
with some more screens...but it can be summarised by three:

Would need to try very hard to pick a more boring cast

Oh Capcom

Looks better in motion on a small screen...still

Yep.

Other than that in summary it feels like a step back from SF4 in terms of control, modes, performance and of course IAP shenanigans. The graphics are better though (in motion...sort of).

Wait for updates if they come (SF4 was heavily supported).
 
Just tried SFxT on ipad 3. Ugly as sin this game is. Framerate is pretty low too. Still kinda fun cause I don't have it on any other platform. If i did i wouldnt play this though. I guess they'll add other characters later. Not many to begin with.
 
Yeah, $100 IAP is fairly common, I'm more surprised there's no 10/20G option at $0.99 or $1.99 for impulse purchases.

Btw, what is gold used for?

Is this game like an old cabinet arcade where you put coins to play lol?

To play online, in ranked matches... But you keep it if you win. So to win you can spend money on the "gems" equivalent to power up so you don't lose... And you save money.

It is just so stupid.

Which is about the same size of it installed. And yeah, that's a big file size for a game like this, but once you get into it, you can see why that is. There's a shit-ton of polish and whatnot present here. It feels like an adventure, not just a casual puzzler. I almost didn't get it for that one specific reason (the large file size), but I'm glad I did now.

I'm trying SuperMagical. Whats the deal with the gPotato mobile page.
Is it like OpenFeint?.
 
SFxT is decent enough, I haven't found a reason I'd even do the IAP. If you play online, it's definitely pay to win, though, as the gold buys you powerups like extra damage, etc. The framerate is a little low, but not kiler.

The biggest issue is the incredibly small cast of characters. There is really no excuse for that nonsense. I would be embarrassed to have released that little bit of effort to the public.

Verdict from SSIV/Volt fan: Wait until they update/Volt edition.

So its basically like in the arcades. You lose you have to pay coins...
It's sad that home gaming has come to this.
 
I love the new Phoenix HD update. New ship, backgrounds, patterns, Special powerful bullets, rebalanced dynamic difficulty, and a new Armory shop for spending coins.

I just seen the new design for the ipod touches, I am glad that they are using a more scratch resistant back then the uber reflective chrome, about time we had one with more power too even if it's not using the A6 but a dual core A5 from the 4S, it's all welcome.

Only thing I dislike about it is that the base is 32GB and that it's £249, granted I paid £229 for my 4g 32GB but there was an optional £150 model everywhere else, it makes me think that maybe apple are pushing luck a little bit too much.

I should also add that Generations will be 4inch compatible :D

what is the name of game the screenshot ?
 
ATTENTION

THIS IS NOT A DRILL.

For some reasons, bug or just Apple prepping up for the iOS6 release, all games are out worldwide NOW.

Getting Lili and Lunar in Italy as we speak, waaaaaaaay before the usual time.

I do not know how long it will last, so check your download if you are interested.
 
I used the direct nz link, they do not appear in the search strings tough.

Maybe it's just a bug, but I managed to download those (well...still downloading...I hope it do not mess up).

Never heard of this.

You just have to replace the region code in the URL to get the link for your region
 
I just bought:

Rayman (Im going to delete any games similar to this, ITS THAT GOOD)
The Room
Fieldrunners 2 HD!!!!!!
Super Hexagon

Im waiting for Lunar tonight in the US. Hoping the same songs from the PSX version is in. They did say this version has a remastered soundtrack and voices.
 
Holy shit, I almost impulse bought SFxT as soon as I saw the first screen for it, but I scrolled down and luckily read it was pretty bad. Bummed that Law isn't it in but I'm not too surprised at the roster!

I wonder what the chances of these purchases staying in your account history are? I'm trying to get iTunes to "buy" jubeat plus, REFLEC BEAT plus, taiko no tatsujin+, etc, so that buying IAP songs in my native currency becomes theoretically possible.

Asking myself the same thing. It looks stunning, but it is good?

Haven't played it just yet but here's the description in any case:

Description
★★★ AS SEEN ON STAGE AT APPLE KEYNOTE EVENT! ★★★

Lili is a quirky adventure RPG hybrid with stunning visuals, silky-smooth graphics and a cinematic storyline. Tuned for new devices, Lili is one of the most visually-stunning games available on iOS.

On the mysterious island of Geos, Lili will meet a number of hilarious locals, explore beautiful environments, solve some puzzles, and even challenge an oppressive regime or two along her way. Lili uses an amusing "non-combat" system for dealing with enemies, and sorts out a few personal issues along the way.

Is this still happening? Just tried this with a Japan-only app and got this:

I need details. I lent my iPad to my sister during her vacation overseas and I've been itching to play the game so bad. =(

The game is auto-run, you press any part of the screen to jump, thats it. Deceptively simple, but the level designs really sell it. You have to try it.

Well I honestly do not know but I can't replicate this on my iPad anymore :(
I do not see them in my history too (but I do not know if I must finish downloads on my iPhone first).
Was probably a bug.

EDIT: sorry to have hyped people for nothing, my bad.
 
Downloaded both Rayman Run and Street Fighter X Tekken this morning. I'm really enjoying Rayman. Kinda like the Canon levels on New Super Mario Bros 2 so far. As for SFxT, I'll wait for some updates to make it better.
