Well shit. I bought Edge when it was first released, beat it and then deleted it. I was going to download it again but didn't get to it in time, so now I can't download a game I rightfully paid for and own.

Why don't the developers of EDGE come up with a more clever title? I'd support a game titled Not That Mediocre Edge Game: The Good one for iPhone.

That still has "Edge" in it, and history has shown that Langdell goes after everything with Edge in it.

At this point it'd suck to have to change the name, as the game has made its name (pun intended) already through various positive reviews and word of mouth. Langdell did not pursue the matter when the game first popped up, but only when the game had already made its mark. This is undoubtedly to increase the chances that the "violator" will feel compelled to fork over money.

Same with "Edge of Twilight" only now being harassed, and not during the two years people have been aware of it; exactly because it's nearing its publishing date.

This man isn't in it to protect the games he made/is making (lol), but purely for moneygrubbing reasons.

What exactly is IGDA good for again?

It would be better than not being able to sell the game at all though.

Just downloaded Cost Guard since it's free right now. Not too bad, definitely worth checking out, but probably wouldn't have paid for it.

Still kicking myself for not picking up Edge. The whole situation is beyond stupid.
 
Went ahead and bought Power Pros, I will post my impressions later, let me know if you have any specific questions about the game.

Edge Lite is still up, I grabbed it before it's gone so at least I have a little piece of history. Plus I never played Edge before.

For the lazy... Here's the itunes link

Edge Lite

If you never got the full version, make sure to get this before it too is taken down.
 
Early Power Pro's impressions, it definitely feels like Power Pros, the hitting is fun, you tap when you want to swing, for a big swing you tap and then slide up. Pitching is kinda boring, you just choose your pitch and a location no velocity settings that I can find thus far.
 
Every now and then, I just take a glance at my iPod Touch, and I get all giddy thinking of all the fun I have with it. It's just a love thing.

Cheers. Was going to buy it originally, but for some reason decided to hold off because it wasn't a priority......pleased I can at least give it a go now.

Honestly I think if enough people complained to Apple about this very thing you might get your money back or at least force Apple into having better policies.
 
Is Edge just gone from the US store? It still seems to be up in the Canadian one...at least, I can view the game's page.

Got the Lite version, and I'm tempted to buy the full one if it is going to disappear.

Just bought it off the Canadian store. Needed to grab it before it was gone forever. Hopefully it lives up to the hype.
 
The Lite Version just got an Update today adding like 4 levels. Wonder if they could just update the rest of the game into that if they can't settle into a name change.

how are the customization options or did they get stripped from the game?
 
Glad I bought EDGE a while ago when it was still available. Remains to be one of my favorite games on the iPhone. It's a shame the full version has been taken down.

No customization. Only 6 teams. Maybe you can trade later in the season but I doubt it.

Hitting is killing me. I am constantly fouling. I thought it was just me but I let my friend play and he was having the same issue.

Started a season on normal and I've yet to win a damn game. I'm starting to feel like I'm 5 again, playing Baseball on NES. "THE COMPUTER IS CHEATING!!!" It seems like they're getting all these sweet breaks while my team is always making errors.

Already noticing predictability in the AI. Lots of sacrifice bunts and steal attempts. The DS version had the same problem. And even though the steal attempts are predictable they've mostly been successful because the game's fielding controls are too finicky. More often than not I've tapped to make a throw to second only to have my fielder do nothing.

There are loads between innings that aren't bad on the 3GS but I could see them being annoying on the older phones.

Oh yeah, and it doesn't save if you get a call or hit the home button. You'll have to start the game over. You can suspend save by exiting from the game menu though.

Right now I'm thinking the game could use some patching.
 
Fuck Langdell. I didn't get a chance to buy Edge. :( I second renaming it LEdge.

I recently got a 16gb ipod touch and I'm wondering if my battery is borked? I did a test by playing 40 minutes of games (a few minutes of labyrinth lite than geodefense lite) and now the battery is 2/3 full. Is that normal? Doesn't seem practical for everyday use.

edit: and yeah I did everything to reduce battery usage. (no wifi no push etc.)

App's are the biggest battery eater so yes that is right, but do not worry you still get 30+ hours for music and 20+ for video and browsing etc, just remember that app's are power hungry.
 
Is Edge back up for anybody else? Im on the canadian store and it was gone earlier today but it is now back up. I was pissed I didn't download it before so I just got it now. :D

Ok thanks. When I use safari it eats up the battery as well. Definitely wouldn't last 20 hours.
 
It's on the Australian one, too... I'd never really heard of it before all of this legal mumbo-jumbo, but if you guys reckon it's worth buying, I think I might.
 
Just noticed that Edge Lite has an update.

news [sic] levels:
- Training
- Pushing Stars
- Chase
- Edge Time

I really regret not getting the full version when it was available the second time. I thought the legal problems were over and I was just waiting until I had some time to finish the Lite version.

Also, Harbor Master has a new level!

20+ hours for browsing and video? :lol Please show me your magical iphone that can pull that off.

This is from Apple's own page

Omg how I want this game. Any new screenshot or video anyone finds, it is your duty to report it to this thread.



Well, Ledge is certainly a good name for the game. I really don't get why they just don't swallow their pride and rename the game.

yeah, i'm watching close. supposed to be out very soon. :D

Well apparently they were going to rename it Edgy at one point...but they asked him if that'd be ok first (facepalm) and he refused, then he trademarked that one too.

I'm wondering what he's going to try when the Miles Edgeworth DS game comes to America :/
 
Okay on toucharcade they are saying that Streets of Rage has a severe frame rate problem on fucking 3G:S phones.

Why the fuck did they not just port Bare Knuckle Mobile?

http://www.streetsofrage.net/bare_knuckle_mobile.htm

Bare Knuckle Mobile is a brand new, official SOR game produced by SEGA with music by the legendary Yuzo Koshiro. Currently only available for subscribers in Japan, the game is essentially a remake of SOR1, with higher-resolution graphics, new sounds and musical arrangements. The stages range from completely new to improved versions of those found in SOR1.
