Not actually that important
I need to give props to the poster who gave the nod to Super Stick Golf's sale here in the thread a few pages ago.
Dude, you were so right, game is awesome!
I played it just a bit but noticed that with just 6 holes in classic mode I was second in our GAF top list... i look forward to play every hole and to be at the very bottom in the next days as usual
I'm happy to have given an iOS game a spot in my GOTY list, Amd honestly I wouldn't ever thought about that just a few months ago, with Dodonpachi as my #4. I didn't play it much more than a couple of plays since gettin in on my pad, but I played it a ton on my ex-gf iPhone and now that I don't havr access to it anymore ;P I look forward to start again on rackin up some score.
Still, there's a gaffer on my list who's very good at it... Motivation, motivation!

oh, I've also updated the fast-growing NeoGAF's Gamecenter list,
Redshoepaul, Flunkie, RelentlessRolento, Resee015 and Gamecocks are the guys I'm looking up for most of my games, I hate you guys I'm getting some satisfaction only for I Must Run! Damn.
It's also very dumb on Activision's part to keep having a separate leaderboard system for Geo Wars Touch... A system which I dunno why it fails me to register for the one game I'm good at, meh.
IF I remember I'll definitely repost the full list code with the new page.

Yep.
i've never played much of iphone mode honestly, but why sometimes my hyper cannon charges up fast while tilting and sometimes it doesn't? Do I just need to swipe full left and then full right, or twitch like crazy, or... And also, to super charge first level, then second and third, I basically need to charge hyper cannon mode, then fire it and supercharge, and then do all over agaim for up to three times? Should the bee icon at the bottom change color?
[also thanks for the other recommendation, I grabbed Plaintext which si fine for my needs]
Edit:
Grabbed Minotaur, damn you fellow gamecentergaffers how am I ever supposed to get good at a game if I end up buyin' a new one every 6 hours
Also I'll say this once: excuse my typos guys, now and in the future, since I mostly type from the pad's virtual keyboard.

There are a few games that I really enjoy the leaderboards aspect, particularly Fruit Ninja and Flick Kick Football (and a few others like Monster Dash, Super Stick Golf and Real Racing will get some more love from me).
Once Flick Golf and Mad Skills Motocross get their GameCenter updates, those will be the next two I put some serious time into.
I really, really wish Lumines would get a GameCenter update (and a way to play one skin of your choice). I'm starting to think Q forgot it's even on the App Store.
I don't even really think about achievements all that much. Probably because I never owned an Xbox so that sort of thing wasn't ingrained into me. I'll start the achievement quest soon with a number of games.

You need to tell me how the hell did you get all those funky icons in your gamecenter status, like right now
Moral decay seems worthy of attention.
That ninja game you posted, had awesome art and the perfect idea but damn bad bad execution imo.
Still, a proper Tenchu game or clone starting with that nija game at its core could be simply awesome.. In fact I had a design document a while ago, with co-op support to do wall jumping, killing executions and all sorts of things. Money got pulled and hey, gathering dust in my drawer

Mad Skills Motocross is now on the App Store. $1.99 introductory price. Plus, it's universal! It has Openfeint now, but GameCenter update is on the way.
If you liked Excitebike, this is basically the 2011 iOS version (with cool physics) to get.

#RULES:
Post yours in this thread first (otherwise you won't be added) and, **VERY IMPORTANT**, follow the same formatting you see on the list with GAF name = name [GC/OF].
Send me a pm when you want to be added to the list if I haven't noticed your post, the parse code is bit iffy so that might happen.
Send me a pm if you want to be taken off the list or to update your profile.
Don't just wait on others to add you, you should at least add some of the profiles posted above yours if you want to get the ball rolling... It's really up to you.
Shouts for old games getting a Gamecenter update are always very appreciated!
The list will be posted only upon request and once in a while, something reasonable so to not make it redundant.
Ciao, see you on the leaderboards
Game Center & OpenFeint's NeoGAFFERS list said:As support for Gamecenter grows, and Openfeint's not that bad as well, it seemed a good idea to give Gaffers one more reason to check out highscore leaderboards and online multiplayer. Hundred games support the feature now, and more and more are adding it by the day, either out of the gate or with a post-launch patch. Best of the best like Flick Kick Football, Dodonpachi, Bit Trip Beat and Canabalt already have it, and tomorrow your favorite game will too! Steam, Psn and Live friend lists showed us how much friendly competion, or co-operaration, can improve a game we love, and with time iOS will make for great Gamecenter communities as well... The ubiquity of portable platform will make GC a staple of the gaming experience, you don't want to miss on that, right?

Quick impressions:RelentlessRolento said:
+ Cool music
+ nice retro graphics
+ contra style gameplay
- dpad needs to be moved lower
- jump and attack buttons are too close to each other
- some cheap pit deaths that you can't see until it is to late
- shitty animations
- incredibly blasphemous
- doesn't appear to have check points
I will post more impressions later. I'm thinking not worth it without some fixes.
Honestly I'm not sure how it works, I just saw someone else showing it on a video. I think you just spin it around in a circle to charge it up, when the circle turns red I guess it's maxed out, then it fires. You can do it once you fill up the hyper meter in the upper left. The upper right is the slaughter/menace meter. Slaughter is raised by killing stuff, menace is raised by going near bullets. While slaughter is high your weapons boost but your chain counts down, while menace is high your hyper meter builds up fast. Not really sure of the ideal way to score in this mode, someone wrote a guide over on TouchArcade though. Apparently if you launch the cannon while M is maxed out, you fill the hyper meter immediately so you can launch another cannon right afterwards.Dash Kappei said:Yep.

JEFF MINTER said:"Glad to hear people are enjoying the game. Response has seemed to be pretty good on this first day of it being out, I'm pleased about that. I think I will be having a lot of fun on iOS now that I have a nice little engine working and proven .
Regarding Tempest 2000 - yes, it'd be great to do a version for iOS but unfortunately the rights to Tempest games belong to whoever bought the Atari name last I guess. Not to say that one day I might not do some kind of update to T2K, only that it'll have to be sufficiently distinct from Atari Tempest to not cause me any bother.
Anyway I think a lot of you will enjoy Minotaur Project #2 which i have already started work on since I am basing it around a game which i know is dear to many and which I can do a remix of without getting in any bother"

I already accepted your friend request tho. Do you want me to unfriend you?
It didn't show any real name in the request tho, I'm 99% positive about that, it said Dallow on the header and then "Dallow GAF would like..." etc.
but I won't add you to the list unless you say so, so off the list for now and you'll let me know in case you change idea.
I think I have my real name showing up when sending the request but, after that first time, I don't even think there's a way to let anything but the friend's nickname to show on gamecenter.
Edit: or maybe I'm wrong about not showing up your name when you sent me the request, I dunno but I don't wanna vouch for it if that's really important to you.

Understood. if you're the one to accept the request you don't see the name of the sender, vut you do see the name of the recipient when you're the one sending the request.
Not a problem for me either case, honestly the name will never show up after that anyway and as I've stated on the post of the list I wont add anyone who's not on this GAF's list first, but it's fair if you feel differently. Anyway, at least we're gamecenter buddies now

Pointer finger? That's some revolutionary thinking right there, might have to give that a try. I was watching Minter play it in an interview and his technique was quite interesting, working in a little box with lots of right angle moves. I think this is one of the reasons I like it, there's a lot of room to develop a personal playstyle.
I'll send you an invite, anybody else feel free to add me on OF too, I'm Jedeye Sniv there too.

who tried to add me few minutes ago??
I'm sorry I accidentally pushed on REFUSE and I can't see who iit was!
Add me back so that you'll be my new BFF
Is there anything worth to play today?
I hate that Mad Motocross doesn't have a Lite or FREE demo
the new list is posted above, you can read the rules and profiles.
The one time while you accept or send the invitation is going to show your nick together with your real name. After that, you show up on other people's list just with your nickname.
If you're worried about that or the iDevice isn't yours then I wouldn't join.
Anyway, just to state it again, rest assured I won't add anyone to the list who doesn't post in here first, and also everybody needs to aknowledge their GAF nickname in the message when sending friend requests. Obviously when you refuse a request it won't show your name.

Big question for me, is there a way to turn off the damn blurry scaling for iPhone 3 games on iPhone 4?
All these lovely pixels.. ruined. ;___;

It's not blurry scaling. It's exact 4x scaling. That is how low-res the old screens were.Princess Skittles said:
jts
...hate me...
320x480 output will always look somewhat blurry on a 640x960 display, compared to native resolution.Princess Skittles said:
Without scaling, those games would look very tiny and be unplayable on the iPhone 4 screen.
Still, due to iPhone 4 res being 4x the previous iPhones, the upscaling is near perfect, with one output pixel taking the place of 4 display pixels instead, with no distorting, no artifacts. It's just low res.
Best you can do is hope for that specific game to be updated for retina display by its developer.
Diablohead
Member
If you play an old game on iphone 4 it will look exactly the same as it does on older phones, the scaling is exact so nothing will blur, if you do get bluring it's just how the game looks and how it was designed, a lot of the rpg's on the marketplace are mobile phone ports so they are upscaled a little bit, no way around it.Princess Skittles said:
Princess Skittles
Prince's's 'Skittle's
The scaling is not done 1:1 as it could be (since the resolution is doubled on both axises), it's filtered and the image comes out extremely blurry.jts said:
If they simply double the pixels without filtering, you'd get a crisp (albeit low resolution) image.
Ironically, if I take a screenshot and view it in photos, it's clean and crisp.

It is perfect scaling. It is exactly 4 times as many pixels. 480x320 = 960x640. It really is quadruple the amount of pixels with no filtering. You're looking at a blurry game that may have been scaled by the developer.Princess Skittles said:
