Just read that the new iPod Tuch 8g's are going to be $199, damn that is so nice especially that you get the newer VR cores and such, my touch 2g feels out of date all of a sudden.

What is the current NA price for an 8gig touch? around £169-£175 here and I wonder if we will see the new ones at £139 with the lower prices.

Apparently the new 8GB iPod Touches won't have the improved hardware. Only the two higher end models. This will be the first time in the last 4 years that I don't upgrade. I really wanted the more powerful hardware, but if I'm going to pay $299+ then I want an iPod that can hold my entire library of media. They aren't quite there yet. Think I'll upgrade next year. Hopefully I don't miss out on too many good games with my 2G Touch.
 
Is anyone else having trouble syncing apps in iTunes 9 and 3.1? iTunes just hangs up when I click the checkbox to start bringing my apps over and won't do anything..

edit: nvm it works now

I'm with you, sticking with my 2g touch for a while yet, I don't even use half of the 8gig I have as it's mainly an app player then a music storage device for myself.

I will feel the need to buy the next wave once we get app's that oush the VR setup, right now all the latest games which still look good are all running on 1g iphones still.
 
Downloading Madden right now...I will gladly give them my $8 in support, of their support for the platform honestly. And from what little I've seen today, it's well worth the full $10. They've seemingly really tried to adapt the gameplay to the device's strengths and weaknesses.

CANNOT WAIT for Fifa and NBA Live. Seeing what they're doing with Madden and Fifa, I have a feeling NBA Live is going to ROCK on this device.
 
Just installed iTumes 9.0 and wtf, where did the left side of the app store go? it's just a white void of space. Using the new drop down at the top I can't go to what was once a games section...

This is still being tweaked right? right now it's worse!

The Touch 2G has a much nicer CPU performance than the iPhone 3G, and the iPhone 3G remains the target platform for a while. I think iTough 2G owners will be okay for a while!

Wow...those upcoming games look insane. The Gameloft FPS is exciting because they make good games so we know it'll deliver. I can't believe how great the graphics are looking on all of these games, it's awesome to be able to show off how powerful the iPhone is now instead of playing the in theory game when people question it.

Need For Speed Shift..day 1!

The first thing I thought when I saw Riddim Ribbon was Trailblazer on Gizmondo. Doesn't seem they have that much in common though, as that wasn't a music game.

Assassin's Creed 2 seems to be a step back technically, but everything else looks so, so awesome.
 
Ugh, I'm not that impressed with Madden so far. Maybe I'm just too used to the full Madden experience from the consoles (and to some extent PSP).

Options are 3, 5, or 7 minute quarters. Players look extremely blocky. Playbooks dumbed down considerably. Framerate not too hot on a 3gs (if I had to guess it's around 25fps).

First game I played was Giants vs. Eagles (me). On the first drive Eli connects to Steve Smith for roughly 80 yards, but then it was called back due to offensive pass interference :lol

On my drive I went 3 and out, ending with a fake punt that results in a dropped pass by Celek.
 
I just refreshed the app store area in iTunes 9 and now I am seeing a completely new layout, was I just behind or did the new interface only just get enabled? Icons in the store are now slightly bigger. Still missing the ability to go to a "games" area though, now when I look at the top 100 it's a mixed bag of game and non game related apps, instead of games only.

Click on the little arrow next to App Store on the menu bar.
 
The new store layout is awesome, I love it. I also love the updated look of iTunes itself.

Not positive what you mean but if you can click Apps on the top and choose games there.
 
you can have as many apps on your phone as you want, regardless of what page you're on.
you'll just have to find whatever game you add through the spotlight now
 
Anyone else unable to install the new iTunes? I had it installed, got an error when I plugged in my phone telling me to uninstall/reinstall. I uninstalled but now when I try to reinstall I get "installer encountered errors before itunes could install."

Fuck the what.

Try redownloading the installer.

Try reinstalling the downloader for the redownload of the installer that you should reinstall.

Can't believe I wasted my very first Gaf post on that...
HI! I'm a former lurker! I love iPhone games! I agree with most of your opinions!
 
Has anyone picked up Gameloft "Alone at War"? [itunes]

Touch Arcade barely has anything to say about it. It's not so much the price, just whether or not it's worth playing.

Looks like it could be pretty fun.
 
Sort of OT: whats the Giant Bomb app like? Getting sick of not being able to watch videos on my work pc due to firewall, and cant watch anything on my iphone that's flash based.

Edit: new I Dig It update!

Something that isn't a shameless ripoff of another game from Gameloft? :O

:lol

Oh man, what Gameloft has become...to be fair, this was probably just a quick job for the interns to fund their bigger projects. Don't get it twisted, they're still ripping shit off all day.

It's okay - the videos work as advertised and are easily the best part. There's also News, New Releases, and the ability to find the wiki pages for individual games.

If you really enjoy GB's videos, it's worth picking up.

I don't know, I may be a RR bigot, but it's a great mini sim.. It will be hard to topple.

The more I play it the more I find it awesome, which is the opposite of any recent NFS game I've played.
