Do you think these will actually run on the device, or is Apple betting on streaming here? I don’t see how they would capitalize on developers being able to develop for iPhone, while they dropped game support on Mac years ago.
It's likely running native as they've been touting the ray tracing of their new gpu. They've pushed a number of games in the past to show off hardware updates or features, so that's probably what this is about.
Also, they didn't drop support for mac, they just focused on their own gaming API. They continue to get new games published.
You’re probably right! I wonder how well it can run on an iPhone when devices dedicated to gaming barely manage decent framerates on modern games at 800p. And maybe Apple hasn’t actually dropped support for game development, but I don’t believe they have been very active on that front either, did they? Looking at a list of games released on macOS in 2023 isn’t very impressive, and all games released for x86 (so, prior to 2020) won’t work on modern devices.
I can’t wait for this game. Shovel Knight (and all its expansions) might be the best modern retro game I’ve played. Mina the Hollower looks like it hits in all the right spots as well.
I like when there’s lots of limited and unique controllers. The article makes it sound like every one is a little different? Which would be so cool for something that is often the same for every console owner. This one does kind of looks like fancy bed sheets to me 😅though, and I kind of want the controls/buttons to be a contrasting color.
