Comments on: 'Blades of Fury' - The First 3D Arcade Fighter for iPhone http://toucharcade.com/2009/09/08/blades-of-fury/ ... keeping in touch with the latest in iPhone gaming Fri, 10 Feb 2012 07:10:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1.4 By: ahamling27 http://toucharcade.com/2009/09/08/blades-of-fury/#comment-36040 ahamling27 Mon, 14 Sep 2009 20:46:13 +0000 http://toucharcade.com/?p=18737#comment-36040 Kudos to crishnak for calling this guy out. I too bought this game and for a fighter it's pretty damn good. I'd go as far to say it's better than a crappy console 3d fighter....remember the first 3d mortal kombat? BTW Gangstar is a blast and rockstar can suck gamelofts um...well you know. At least gameloft is attempting games like these rockstar is just porting a DS GTA and they'll probably charge 10 bucks!

You're not alone, but one Mr. Steven P. Jobs has an answer for you: it's because the touch is a game machine, you see. Seriously -- that's what El Steve told the inimitable David Pogue today after the Rock and Roll event." --- Jobs made it clear yesterday that iphone is a gaming rig :) i hope devs heard that aswell :) SC and Tekken are far from beeing confirmed dude... I bet we will see dozens of pacman mutations before tekken. "Wondering why Apple chose to add a camera to the iPod nano, but not the revised iPod touch? You're not alone, but one Mr. Steven P.

Though Namco is releasing Tekken and Soul Caliber for the iphone, I think Blades of Fury is the perfect title to help with the wait. http://kotaku.com/5328749/namco-eyes-tekken-soulcalibur-as-it-expands-iphone-development Guys, I am usually a Gameloft hater, however, I do find this particular title to be quite entertaining.

Eidos should hire them for doing the port. Right, now they´re the best in terms of controls and graphics. I actually thought of Tomb Raider, when playing Gamelofts Assassins Creed.

Who want to sink their teeth into some "hardcore" title? Should those be left beside, because the iPhone wasn´t designed for those titles, lacking actual buttons and a d-pad? I don´t think so... And by the way, those on screen controls benefit from the multitouch screen, one of the strengths of the iPhone/iPod Touch. It´s a ripoff, so what? It´s been said about a thousend times, but I´ll say it again: If there is an audience for a game like Gangstar or Sandstorm and the original developer won´t bring their franchise to the App Store, someone else will do it and earn the money from users who are eager to play those games. Never forget: Gameloft is one of the developers who really put effort into pushing the iPhone/iPod Touch as a portable console. If they weren´t, we´d probably still play Arcanoid, Tetris and Zuma-ripoffs till the end of days. So what about people who do not want to play casuals on their iPhone/iPod Touch everytime?

Things like buffers, hit zones, animation cycles, cancels, etc. are very different to the point where while the implementation of this game's virtual dpad is stellar I think it would have to be re-optimized for a 2D fighting game.
