Source: The Unofficial Apple Weblog I'm not much of a fan of iOS, but if it gives the game the exposure it rightly deserves, I'm all for it. Edited by NamelessFragger, Thursday Feb 2 2012, 12:14 AM.

Speaking of DS games coming to iOS, Capcom just announced Phoenix Wright 2 and 3 ports. <o/ The original has already been out for some time. |

Capcom is trying to shift a lot of their business to phones and Facebook because their operating income was down like 47% from last year. Console development costs are too high even now, which says to me that the next generation of home consoles will be a smaller leap than most expect. I would be very surprised if PS4 or Xbox 3 are more than 20-30% more powerful than WiiU's final specs, even launching a year later. Porting DS games is cheap and fast. I wouldn't be surprised to see them mining their back catalog pretty heavily in the next year. |

The Witcher 2 had a 30 million Zloty budget and made over 100 million Zloty profit. It's even higher when you consider when that's only 9,300,000 million American dollars over 34 million in profit. For an independent that's absolutely astounding. Considering that games like Uncharted will cost SONY 90 million dollars for a 2 year development end up with a 9 hour corridor shooter littered with "Platforming for retards" sections it's pretty sad in comparison to a game with 3 huge areas, numerous sidequest, grade-A writing (considering all they did was adapt the books, I say that's worthy of something) a deep combat system, 50 *true* hours of content AND easily the best looking game on the market. Really if anything The Witcher 2 should show you how pathetic other game developers are. |

Agree with most of what you said, but Witcher 2 does not look better than Shogun II. The graphics, animation, scale, and AI in that game are absolutely top notch. |

But yeah, the inability of major Western studios (and a few Eastern publishers like SquareEnix and Capcom) to control costs is one of the roots of all the shameless bullshit happening in the industry today. Instead of managing their resources more efficiently they simply squeeze the consumer for more money with their DLC, Online Passes, microtransactions, subscription fees, over priced plastic peripherals, Game of the Year Editions, preorder bonuses, etc. EA, Ubisoft, THQ, Activision, Warner, Sony CEA, Microsoft, Capcom, and SquareEnix are the major offenders. Take-Two, ZeniMax, Namco, and Konami are also part of the problem, but less so. |

What the fuck, Capcom? Look carefully over to the left. You'd think it's entirely free based on the initial price near the download link, but then you scroll down and find that you have to buy the rest of the chapters as in-app DLC. Chapters 1 and 2 are free, but you can either buy the rest of the chapters in thirds at $5 each ($15 total), or buy 'em all at once for $10. Edited by NamelessFragger, Thursday Feb 2 2012, 06:26 PM.

It explicitly states just WHAT part of it is free. Basically making it a longer then normal demo. Spoiler: click to toggle I think your just demonizing them just to do it. |

Spoiler toggles don't work from the work computer also for the love of fuck, I know you're smart enough to figure out when something is a contraction and when something is an indicator of possession. |

That's my issue as well. It used to be that game developers made the distinction between demos/shareware versions and full games quite clear, but I guess that's being a bit too optimistic these days. The only consolation here is that the iOS version is $10 while the DS version is $30, but that's beside the point. The price isn't obvious at very first glance, instead making you read the fine print. |

Amazon's selling it THAT cheaply? Damn, why have I not noticed this? I recalled it being around $25 to $30, on par with most DS games. |

A lot of developers (not just big names, indie devs and single devs too) use in-app purchases as a way to combat piracy. People can pirate apps extremely easily, but as of now there still isn't a way to pirate in-app purchases. But anyway, who gives a shit, it's only 10 bucks. |
