Destraex1 Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 Just curious as to whether the ipad2 version is a light version or whether because of the current engine limitations core wise and other that the ipad2 has the same game that plays the same? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bardosy Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 Shhhhhh Destraex! Before you blink, Steve will pop up here and tell you an analogy what is the difference between CMT and CMBN... And please ask a car-analogy too! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lt Belenko Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 It's like eating pizza in a log cabin or the eating lasagna at the restaurant in Italy but only if they have beer in your cabin. If you spill the beer on the iPad its OK, because iPAD3's are waterproof. But if was really nice Italian restaurant you wouldn't be haveing beer you'd be drinking wine. And if you spilled the wine, it would be kinda like this: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sergei Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 Think of it like how you would take a T-34 to fight in the open steppe but in the ruins of Stalingrad you would prefer just a PPSh-41 and a few hand grenades. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 Just curious as to whether the ipad2 version is a light version or whether because of the current engine limitations core wise and other that the ipad2 has the same game that plays the same? A direct port of CMx2 would probably set an iPad *37* on fire. Clay and team have done an awesome job of bringing the CM experience to iPad, but no, it's not the same code. CM not running on multiple cores does *not* equal being able to run on a Tegra 2 and an A5. That's not what the multi-core thing means in practical terms. Honestly we wouldn't gain much from very explicit multi-core support, which is why we haven't done it yet. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Destraex1 Posted April 3, 2012 Author Share Posted April 3, 2012 So the PC version will remain the flagship then. That suites me well. Means I will probably get the British expansion for CMBN shortly. Can you give any detail as to what the ipad version is missing exactly? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you give any detail as to what the ipad version is missing exactly? CM:Ipad is a game that attempts to capture the look and feel of CM:BN for a mobile device and that's about as far as the comparison goes. It was developed by a third party and I don't believe was ever intended or will ever match CM:BN feature for feature. So just enjoy it for what it is. A $4.99 tactical level ipad game that in some ways feels like CM:BN but is not the same game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spanish Bombs Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 So the PC version will remain the flagship then. Well, technically they haven't said this. Business being about making money, if they were to make a mint on games like CM:Touch, especially relative to CMX2 products, I suppose all bets would be off. Its not like there is such a thing as a 'loyalty' to a particular product from a business standpoint - if there was we might all be complaining about how slow the Char B1-bis is in CMx1:Blitzkrieg or something. I think what we know is that they'll make games that some people like and that some people don't. I downloaded CM:T as soon as I could, but haven't found it too engrossing - yet. The $5 price was right, though, and it looks like there are pretty active efforts to support it, so I'm going to keep playing it and see where it takes me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But when windows8 tablets come out I may consider that form factor for light entertainment away from the PC but the same games as the PC and capable of mods etc. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
