Put it on PC/XBLA/PSN and all will be forgiven, Eidos/Squeenix.
This is only the beginning guys. This is where a good amount of the industry is going this gen.
So I feel there's an important note here:
So it sounds like they're making a series of shorter games at a more reasonable price point with high production values.
Gotta' maintain that post count!Is it really worth posting anything if you've nothing to say?
Ah, I took that to mean there were more Deus Ex iOS games coming, but I reckon you're right, it's probably episodic.Sounds like it's episodic based on the OP quote. So it's more like $7 for the first episode.

The game actually looks quite good. But I do not understand the logistics of making this iOS exclusive. You take a franchise that's built its fan base primarily on PC, along with consoles. You spend time and money replicating that gameplay formula pretty accurately for a smaller, side-story mission. And you release it exclusively on iOS?
It makes perfect sense to stick a touch screen controlled game like this on iOS for a few bucks. By why not release digital versions on PC and console to? I simply do not understand the business there. Not restricting to one platform, but expanding to many in order to maximise revenue across an assortment of platforms.

... why is this only on iOS? Have they dumbed it down or something to such a degree that it wouldn't be worth playing on other platforms, because it looks just like the original game.
Is clearly loking at the video that there's quite a few assets from the console game. What will happen when there's no console/handheld game to port/grab assets to keep it cheap?
That's just the nature of platform exclusives. Why can't I play everything on my Vita? Well, because life ain't fair, that's why.... why is this only on iOS?

They could port it to Android in a few months like most other SE titles...if you mean that.
Also, that dislike bar. =0
I apologize if it sounds too close to port-begging, but I think I'm allowed to be disappointed that instead of a full new PC/console experience in a PC game series I love, I'm getting a technically competent game on a platform which I don't own and which is extremely poorly suited to first-person action games. I have no one but myself to blame for expecting anything else from Square-Enix Eidos, even if it is the Eidos side this time, but that doesn't make it sting any less. Touch screen controls are not a suitable substitute.You don't have to greatly accept something to put some effort into replying to a thread though. If there is unhappiness about something, it should be more directed. If this is a stupid Deus Ex minigame for iOS where you play endless hacking minigames to compete on leaderboards, then it doesn't really deserve much effort or attention. But if it's an actual Deus Ex game simply for a platform some people don't like, there is no reason to be so childish about it.
They can go to hell. Many of their mobile games would've been great on handhelds and most likely would have paid off in the long run. Yet they keep neglecting them for quick cash ins for an audience with a minute long attention span. Seriously go to hell SE.Does anyone actually even like Square Enix the company any more?
