Maybe you missed it, but M3 is a step in the right direction for gaming
Apple’s new M3 chips have big GPU upgrades focused on gaming and pro apps
Gaming on the Mac gets better with the M3 family of chips.
No, it's definitely happened before. I mentioned Infinity Blade earlier that was only available for the iPhone 4, I believe, when it was released and not the earlier iPhones.
The fact that a game like this is even running and looking as good as it does on a passively cooled, small battery powered device is bloody impressive.
Graphics and Heat. I don't know about you, but I would prefer not to hold an iPhone that is the same temperature as a hot pocket fresh out of the microwave. I tried both Resident Evil games and I'm really not impressed with the graphics. It will probably get better in time, but for the moment I will stick to playing on consoles.
As beautiful as this is, I’m waiting for the real win. Steam store. Come on. By iPhone 16 the power’s gotta be here
Someone really needs to figure out how buying a game or app for one device means you can have it on all devices that game or app will work on.
Apple, Microsoft, Google, Playstation, nintendo, etc.
So that we pay for the license to have that software.. not the companies whose devices it will work on.
(I understand that making them for different software / hardware products means different coding, etc.. but still)
That is when I feel like we have reached that point of universal purchase/ choice.
Wishful thinking, I know..

Even more annoying is having a Ubisoft+ subscription so I can get unlimited access to all Ubisoft games, including new releases on Day 1 without purchasing the game in full. Yet if I want to play on iOS I have to pay the full retail price to the company I'm already paying a subscription to. It's ridiculous
Awesome, been waiting for this. Platinum'ed it on the PS5 but have been waiting to replay for the iOS version just to give it a shot on there. Fantastic game. As a big AC fan, this was one of the best games in the franchise's recent history.
I just hope that you'll be able to use a controller, not just touch controls. If it's ONLY touch controls, I'll probably go back to the PS5 version for my replay.

in some ways Apple is giving us AAA on macOS since now both run on arm architecture and Mac is no longer an x86 architecture
You seem to be under the impression that Apple is the one releasing this game.. did you not read the post at all?
Resident Evil Village is running and iphone 15 pro doesnt run very hot
So i dont expect this will run worse or better
I feel exactly the same, which is why if I were to find something interesting to play I would pair a controller.
It ran hot for me. Then again, the 15 Pro runs warm anyways. Perhaps the A18 Pro will be more efficient.
That’s not what fragmentation is. Software not being able to run on older hardware is inevitable.
AAA games on iPhone and iPad is just a joke. The hardware is not yet great to play AAA games without MetalFX. And yet, RE4 does NOT support MetalFX which is impossible to play beyond 30 FPS which is so stupid.
Apple is not even trying for gaming markets and this kind of move is just stupid. The mobile market is literally different from PC/Console market.

To which platform do you refer? Which fragmentation?
Curious to know how well this game would run on a standard Android device?
I was responding to someone that was asking if this was the first time a specific iPhone was the only iPhone that could play a game. We weren’t discussing the Mac. I think the other user deleted their comment or something, so now it looks out of context. Still, thanks for your info. Maybe Assassins Creed will also see a Mac release.
Apple claims to be serious about gaming. but they treat it like crap. all the tools they brought out last year to bring DX12 games to MacOS, and not one company has brought a game over. except for those that were revealed at WWDC. gaming on the Mac and iPhone is a joke. and it will always be a joke as long as apple treats it as such!
Correct me if I'm wrong, but last I heard none of the games loudly touted to do so (Resident Evil 4, RE Village, and Death Stranding) supports ray tracing on the most recent iPhones/Macs.
Or has that been added by now?
