Or much more realistcally they release it for free to get attention and reviews. If enough people download it, it moves up on the download list and maybe they make more money when they start to charge again. I don't get the gameloft hate on TA or the way indie dev's are glorified. Indie dev's want to make money to, and there's nothing wrong with that just like there's nothing wrong with gsmeloft wanting to make company. The company I work for wants to make money, and I don't have a problem with that. They need to make money to pay me and all the other people they employ.
Being an ex-Gameloft employee i could understand that. However as you provably know, the iPhone platform is the platform were indies really rules. The iPhone and the App Store is a great success because of indies. And this is why Apple support's not only small-studios, but indies, bedroom programmers, homebrew programmers, etc. They own that great success to Indies. This is something that Sony and specially Nintendo will never forget. Cheers,
i got sent a preview version of the final 1.2 build and i gotta say... its AMAZING it feels so different, and thats a good thing the FPS controls are perfect! i stay in them the whole time and move around like that, much better then the original controls.. the crosshair helps heaps and the ragdoll affects are just icing on the cake. i havent got to use the bullet time drink yet because i just had a quick play of the game (gotta to go out soon) but this update is definately one your gonna love. it feels like a brand new game
Dead Strike is now a complette, revamped and reworked game. Feels like a new game yes. Lucky theses ho bought Dead Strike 1. ^^ Dead Strike Ragdoll Zombies Bullet Time Shooter Edition. Pretty big name ehe? The first time in iPhone history where ragdollz and bullet time is perfectly combined and blended in a kick ass 3D zombie shooter game. Theirs also new lighting's effects (look carefully the main characters). Even the game Icon is different now. Ladies and gentleman, please welcome the new explosive and revamped version of Dead Strike! Don't forget to play with your own favorite music! It pushes the zombie action and deepness even farther! Cheers,
Word to that this our gospel this our truth. The indie revolution has arrived for the iplatform. This game rocks so hard no gameloft game comes close.
They are doing reviews today it seems, but i don't know if its only for the new game. Hopefully they review new updates as well.
Well, I remember that one of the Trenches update has been out on January 2nd, a saturday too, so let's hope!
I've been waiting for this. I feel kind of silly now having scrambled to buy it up at the "price drop 1$ until next update" only for it to go free, but . . .well it'll still be well worth the dollar I paid. I hope it is as awesome as I'm expecting it to be though.
I was also sent a pre release copy and all I have to say is WOW! this makes resident evil look like a episode of Dora. This game is hardcore. The ragdoll and lighting effects are EPIC on my itouch 2gen. You guys will definetly enjoy this one!
Why does everyone like trenches? I found it rather stupid. There is no tutorial showing what u have to do. And it seems to me that all u do is click on 1 button on the bottom. And what is ragdoll?
Its the motion (cant think of the right word) that the zombies will fall in. They have limbs and everything but they just kind of flop around.
Look at the video on first page, when the girl is using a shotgun, the zombies are thrown back and all their parts goes crazy (I don't know how to explain it )
