With mfi support this is going to be good, very close to how the vita would handle it.

BioShock 1 port coming to iPhone and iPad
- Thread starter McBacon
- Start date
Because using a gamepad and hdmi out is never an option huh?

It's certainly not ideal.

lol Read your post.
I don't see why anyone would play Bioshock 1 on their fucking iPhone. Especially for the first time ever. Kind of sad :[ Oh well. As long as you play it I guess?
Right, because that's why I buy games on mobile. So I can be immobile.
How is that not ideal ? That's exactly how we play games on consoles. :/

Did you miss the part where it supports MFi?

Best part is that this will probably cost more than any other Bioshock sku out there.

And you are the only target for games on mobile devices?
The grand point of it all is to one day replace dedicated consoles. There are people out there who do not on a console who might would like to play a game like this on their tv at home when possible.
If not then gamepad plus mobile device is still viable.

Yeah, consoles. Nobody wants to do that to play a phone game. If you really want to play like that then the best option is to play on a console.
I would be curious to see some statistics of people who use some sort of HDMI-out on their mobile devices. I'm willing to bet that 1) it's pretty darn low, and 2) the people who do use it are probably tech-savvy to the point that they probably already own a console or two.

You're absolutely right. However, that is an apocalyptic future a lot of us would like to avoid.

The port begging in this thread is annoying.
I'll def check out Bioshock on my iPhone. Crazy to think how far mobile hardware has come to be able to play something like Bioshock.

Can't even give the PC version away for free in the Steam thread.
Why would I pay for a version with arse controls?

With controller support it should be fine. If I played mobile games I would rather play stuff like this, XCOM, and Civ Rev than most of the other mobile games released. Still hoping for a PS4/XB1 collection at some point though.

lol, no it looks significantly worse.
I don't think it will play very well either but I guess it's cool more people can play it.

Would you kindly...
Bring this to PS4?

They want it to sell not bomb horribly in sales.
What mifi controller are you picking up? I'm really interested in getting one.

Not a ton of good full sized controllers at the moment, probably wait for Hori version that's supposed to be out end of this month:

I have to wonder how many people will be in the group the game is directed at. They have to comply with all these conditions:
-have a Iphone/Ipad
-don't mind playing a fps with touch controls OR have an appropriate controller for Iphone/Ipad
- will pay a "premium" price App
- is interested in playing a lengthy fps/rpg game, in other words a hardcore experience
-but haven't played it in PS3, 360 or PC, or want to play it again but instead of playing in any of said platforms, in Apple platforms

Yeah, this is only the tip of the iceberg. I can see myself buying a controller in the future.
It blows my mind when someone says it "looks like crap". It's Bioshock running on your PHONE! I remember playing freakin' Snake, and being blown away when one of my newer phones could play Ms Pac-Man. Modern gamers are getting harder and harder to tolerate around here.

If you look at mobile forums (like toucharcade), people like the above aren't all too uncommon. There's a huge thread about the Monster Hunter iOS port at toucharcade for example, with 100s of people really enjoying it and having put in dozens to hundreds of hours.

Yeah, surprised they didn't wait for that + A8 or whatever will be in the next iOS devices over the next couple months.

I'm interested in the madcatz one, let's hope they're not $100.

at least android port begging got nipped in the bud in the OP.
Yeah, this is the one I'm waiting for. If the website prices were correct, it's £50. I'll snatch that shit up.
The steelseries stratus XL also looks good.

That does look pretty decent.
