Any news or rumours of upcoming games on iPads inc Air, Pro, Mini etc that anyone is aware of?

My M2 Pro is an absolute beast and think with the components it could handle some seriously power hungry games like it has with Alien Isolation, Divinity II and some others.

Would like there to be more but haven’t heard anything for a while, has anyone else?

Capcom has said they want to release more games on Apple hardware. You can subscribe to the !applegaming@lemmy.world community for news.

It’s a pretty small sub so there isn’t a lot of discussion but the guy who maintains it posts pretty much every bit of news that comes out

Hey thanks for the tip, I have subbed now!

Resident Evil Village is expected Oct 30th. That would be a good test. RE4 Remake is supposed to come sometime after that.

[–] Venicon@sopuli.xyz 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Yeah for sure! I just feel like with the hardware available there should be loads more options.

The hardware is there, but the market may not. Take for example, people on console are significantly more willing to pay for a game to play. Mobile is the oppisite (where paid games barely get buyers unless its top cut (e.g minecraft, terraria, stardew valley)and people play F2P games instead)

Resident evil is capcom testing the water for higher end mobile gaming.

Well, that and Apple has a history of not supporting the open standard graphics APIs, requiring devs to do more work in order to port on Apple Devices(well this is more in particular apple on laptop/desktop where molten is a requirment) ios iirc has support for vulkan.

Assassin’s Creed Mirage is coming soon. I’m struggling whether to buy it on pc vs Mac/iPad.

[–] Venicon@sopuli.xyz 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

It would probably be separate purchases for iPad and Mac? If xcloud worked smoothly it would be ace for me but it just doesn’t at the moment.

[–] tekchic@lemmy.ml 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Resident Evil is planning to be cross buy for Mac/iOS. I’m hoping the same for Mirage, but it’s Ubisoft so I’m not sure.

[–] Venicon@sopuli.xyz 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Good to know, thanks! Be interesting to see if it develops and takes off. Also what the specs would be, I have an M1 Mac Mini so fingers crossed!

[–] tekchic@lemmy.ml 2 points 11 months ago

Rumor has it that the M1’s will be supported. I’m hoping this starts bringing decent ports over to iOS!
