Forget Xbox One and PS4 - Apple's iOS 7 gamepad API could be the real game changer

E3 is drawing to a close, but rather than being all sewn up by Microsoft's Xbox One, Sony's PlayStation 4 or Nintendo's Wii U, it's Apple who've just made the real game-changing gaming announcement. iOS 7 for iPhone and iPad is set to introduce an official controller API, opening the floodgates for hardcore gaming on iOS devices.

I figure Apple wouldn't be too long behind Google, who done this with Android 3.0.

This won't be a game changer. Mainly because majority of the best selling iOS games are better with touch controls than a dedicated controller. People rather play games like Angry Bird and Temple Run with their hands than a controller.

I could see games like Dead Trigger, Infinity Blade, Shadowgun, and some of those Gameloft and EA games utilizing this but everything else not so much.

Forget real consoles. hardy har har. Where have I heard this before. Oh right. Phones will kill consoles, no it was pads, no the Qouya, wait it was Nvidia's handheld.

HammadTheBeast4401d ago

So.... Infamous Second Son... or Cut the Rope?

You decide.

mydyingparadiselost4401d ago

Introducing the latest in mobile touchscreen abuse technology.... Cut the Second Son!

Uhhh, why would this be a game changer? They're still mobile games... They're not going to compete with PS4/X1 level stuff.

StuffofLegend4401d ago

Absolutely correct. As nice as the news is, this should really only make games playable, not jaw dropping like next gen

2pacalypsenow4401d ago

Probably a Cell phone/Tablet gaming changer . Mobile and console gaming are not in the same league

Phils_Libra4401d ago

That gamepad looks like it was made for a 5-year-old. This "could be the real game changer?" You have got to be kidding?!

I wish they’d do a proper switch 2 update for Tony Hawk 1+2 me and my 7 year old daughter love playing it in split screen and it plays great but it looks absolutely terrible. I would say it looks like the resolution drops down to about 540p in order to keep the framerate up.

LucasRuinedChildhood45m ago

If they don't, Pro Skater 1+2 is pretty cheap these days on PS5 and Series X if you have on of them. Switch version was only 30fps as well.

Pro Skater 3+4 will definitely be a huge upgrade from that on Switch 2.

That controller looks like a cheap knockoff... it should have been a proper DS5 design.

...the VR aspect in 7 IS the redeeming quality.

Abriael1d 2h ago (Edited 1d 2h ago )

what a dumb take.

Ace Combat 7 is one of the best games of the past generation. It doesn't need VR gimmicks to "redeem" it.

TheColbertinator18h ago

I have enjoyed nearly every single Ace Combat to death (except that helicopter shooting one) and have never needed VR once to enjoy it greatly

PapaBop10h ago

^^^ I'm guessing you've never actually tried it in VR then? VR elevates games like this way beyond just a gimmick, just ask any GT fan who owns a PSVR 2. You may not need VR to have a good time but it's an absolute game changer and something that shouldn't be dismissed as a gimmick.

S2Killinit10h ago(Edited 10h ago)

@Abriael
Spoken like someone who never played it. But who are we kidding. We know why VR hate. No one is fooled here.

Abriael9h ago(Edited 8h ago)

@PapaBop: I tried it in VR before any of you ever did, since the game wasn't even out yet. It's a gimmick, disjointed from the AC7's main gameplay and far removed from its best parts.

It's nothing more than a limiting factor, as Ace Combat's most complex missions require hardware power to be focused on other things. That's why the VR missions are very basic.

If you think Ace Combat's strengths are even close to the platform it's on, VR or non-VR, you obviously aren't an Ace Combat fan.

In any case, I suggest you folks prepare yourself for disappointment. There's a reason why the VR gimmick was never expanded, and it's that, besides a few fanatics who care for evangelizing their VR fad more than they care for the franchise, no one gave a flying F.

The developers are going to use the resources to make the whole game better for everyone instead.

VR was the best thing that happened to Ace Combat. You kidding?

yeastori8h ago

VR is perfect for this type of game wdym

Abriael7h ago

It's a perfect way to limit this type of game.

CrimsonWing691d 4h ago

Look, I’m a simple man. I see Ace Combat and say, “Yes!”

Abnor_Mal1d 3h ago (Edited 1d 3h ago )

Can we get a new Ace Combat, with full vr and not just three or four levels, for PS5 and PSVR2
Also if we could get a remake of my all time favorite, Ace Combat5: The Unsung War, again with full vr for every mission with DualSense and flight stick haptics.

yeastori8h ago

I just want them to remaster AC4 and AC5, a new AC with better more realistic looking world and planes would be great too
