For iOS.

Bungie founder Alex Seropian has big plans for his first game with new studio Industrial Toys. The company today announced its first game, Morning Star, a sci-fi shooter for iOS devices that aims to "raise the bar for mobile graphics" when it arrives during spring 2013.

"With Morning Star, we're looking to change expectations for what kind of experience core gamers get from their mobile devices," Seropian said in a statement.

Morning Star was built from the ground up for touch-based controls and is billed as a "complete reimagining of the shooter."

It is set 120 years into the future (around 2132) and brings players aboard the MSRV-Joplin, a research vessel equipped with heavy weaponry. Players seek out a mysterious signal, and as is often the case, disaster takes hold and gamers are thrust into the middle of an intergalactic war.

Morning Star runs on the Unreal Engine.

Honestly, I was expecting a workout game where you work your core muscles.

forknknife · Dec 12, 2012

Looks so... like 90s CGI, is that on purpose?

goldenpp72 · Dec 12, 2012

Looks horrible.

BrokenEchelon · Dec 12, 2012

Really misleading thread title.

Buhhhh...the assets are pretty impressive for an iPhone game, but surely the hardware is capable of handling much better art direction? :3

Morning Star runs on the Unreal Engine.

The original Unreal Engine, I presume?

Kuroyume · Dec 12, 2012

Kiiiiiiiiiiinda looks like Halo.

Muffdraul · Dec 12, 2012

Seropian really needs to find another Jason Jones.

Then again Jason Jones needs to find another Greg Kirkpatrick.

Core gaming on iOs.. I'm out.

Pudge · Dec 12, 2012

Game for Core Gamers on iOS is an oxymoron.

Those are some horrible alien designs, Bungie founder.

visually looks like a poor effort too, maybe it plays well.

kittens · Dec 12, 2012

WHAT.

Oh, new studio. Really misleading thread title, though I should have read the OP closer, lol.

Bungie has nothing to do with this.

Derrick01 · Dec 12, 2012

Damn I feel misled after seeing that title. I guess that was the point :lol

vareon · Dec 12, 2012

Core gamers and for iOS isn't a problem.

This is a problem. I don't know the purpose of this image.

ant1532 · Dec 12, 2012

like the art direction. looks like mist/oddworld/halo

Looks like Halo. That's a plus! If course the kicker for phone games is always, "how's it play?"

Wow, that third screen really does not fill me with confidence.

Poker Face · Dec 12, 2012

Holy shit that title is misleading

zeelman · Dec 12, 2012

I was wondering what this guy was up to, too bad its for IOS. I hate touchscreen controls for action games.

Spawnling · Dec 12, 2012

Honestly I think it looks kickass for a mobile game. I expect it to be improved over time per usual. Probably still in alpha stage at this point.

No, it really isn't. This week alone, Grand Theft Auto:Vice City, Minecraft, and Baldur's Gate are all in the top ten list.

Pharros · Dec 12, 2012

Whenever I hear the term core gamers I always think of Reggie. So weird.

rdrr gnr · Dec 12, 2012

Atrocious. And misleading title.

2 10 year old games and a game that looks like its 10+ years old. Impressive.

How does that refute my point?

those are some sexy heels

Izick · Dec 12, 2012

How is Baldurs Gate on the iPhone? I'm thinking about getting a 5 and I always wanted to play BG, so I guess this would be a two birds king of thing.

"core gamers" and "ios" go together about as well as Nintendo and well thought out console design.

It's iPad only.

Mrbob · Dec 12, 2012

Seropian should have waited longer before unveiling this game.

Snowden's Secret · Dec 12, 2012

Do you guys not think it looks like Halo, specifically 2/3? The heavily saturated colors, the texture work, even the HUD all evoke Halo.

Technosteve · Dec 12, 2012

Another game Vita won't get

toastyToast · Dec 12, 2012

Didn't you all get the memo that shooty games = for core gamers?

Title is appropriate. Disturbingly so

Izick · Dec 12, 2012

I guess that answers my question then.

Maybe I should just get it an iPad instead...hmm...how is it on the iPad?

"The shooter re-imagined"

Looks like it plays itself.

because nothing about their success is due to iOS.

Show me a "core" game that went the other way.

He left Bungie and Halo to make a shittier version of Halo. IOS, that golden ticket.
