Another Developer on the Bandwagon: OOTP coming to the iPhone - MMChrisS's Blog - Operation Sports

Enjoy!

PS: We'll have a press release and more info about this in a few weeks I guess. It's still in very early stages.

pfft. How would you know?

hehe

Syd Thrift · 04-29-2010, 01:32 PM

Crap. If we get the iPhone this summer, I won't know what to do with myself. Outside of NEVER EVER buy an iPhone.

Malleus Dei · 04-29-2010, 01:40 PM

Now I will give in gracefully in the months ahead to my wife's plea for an iPad.

Heh, heh.

Sorry, OOTP, luv ya, but you're not getting me off my 'droid.

Droid needs love!

Solonor · 04-29-2010, 01:59 PM

I hope there is some consideration given to the Android, because mine is paranoid... (HH2G!)

Seriously, I'm happy there's going to be an OOTP app. Don't mean for this to turn into a "I'm a Mac. I'm a PC." or "Tastes great! Less Filling!" thread.

Markus Heinsohn · 04-29-2010, 02:00 PM

We will continue to have an eye on Android too. But with our limited resources iPhoneOS is the #1 choice at the moment.

Good luck with this. No career play is a no purchase for me.

Solonor · 04-29-2010, 02:11 PM

We developed an iPhone app at our company, and it's still not approved for the Apple apps store for whatever reason. Android Market has no such restrictions. Just sayin'...

CD1083 · 04-29-2010, 02:17 PM

Don't kill the buzz with your Apple hate...we get it, Apple is controlling, you can watch porn on Android...

let's hear more about the app...

Where's my screenshots?!

Solonor · 04-29-2010, 02:21 PM

Now I know what Mac users feel like when all the cool stuff gets released on PC first...

I agree. Show us the screenshots!

CD1083 · 04-29-2010, 02:23 PM

I'm a PC user, but I love my iPhone/iPad ~ I won't switch to Mac completely because I'm too cheap to rebuy all my software and I like to mod my computer.

I like my toys

Yeah, I imagine that's disappointing for a lot of people, but I imagine thats simply the limitation of the platform. Honestly, do people think that a phone is supposed to be able to run a high-powered app like OOTP? I commend Markus for even offering a limited-functionality version because a lot of folks on the board have been pretty much openly hostile on the issue of porting to products like netbooks or Ipads, with those against it believing that the concept of running the game with such limited hardware was a ridiculous concept.

As it is, this is definitely a step in the right direction for that market. Amazing to think that OOTP is going to the i-phone, but Civilization V is being released without a Mac version.

I've been rooting for Android to surpass iPhones. I'm not a big fan of Apple's closed system.
