Leanzazzy, 21 Feb 2024Low-res 360p at 30 FPS? This is a new low, even for Apple. ... moreWell Death Stranding is playable on my M1 ipad pro. It has been getting a lot of updates since it's a ported game. Which is why according to the appstore. It is listed in great games for controllers.

    Low-res 360p at 30 FPS? This is a new low, even for Apple. You can't call something a port when no attempt has been made to adapt it for iOS, or even touchscreen devices.

        Foxtrot2Novmbr, 19 Feb 2024Makes me wonder why should I buy a brand new android handse... moreYou have a point there. Controller support for Android games are still subpar at best. It's not surprising to see more controller use for console emulators than Android games.

          Considering that the A17 Bionic in the iPhone 15 Pro/Pro Max is a fork of M3 Silicon, there should be no problem for those iPhone alongside M3-powered iPads and Macs to get this kind of experience. The only difference between them is the overall performance and thermal efficiency.

            Vegetaholic, 19 Feb 2024Apple need to pay millions to Rockstar and CD project to do... moreyeah something like Netflix which brought the GTA trilogy to mobile.. from here we know smartphones can run everything.

              rizki1, 19 Feb 2024If a phone can run this game, why aren't there games t... moreApple need to pay millions to Rockstar and CD project to do the porting, not a simple stuff as to pay some peasant developer to create candy crush.

                One of the best games ever released on mobile phone. Apple definitely going the right way. Instead of playing candy crush, and countless useless mobile games you can experience some proper console masterpieces :)

                  Makes me wonder why should I buy a brand new android handset if it doesn't get a lot of developers support?
                  I was hoping to get a new android phone. The ROG Phone 8 Pro was a good choice. And the other should be Sony Xperia 1 VI. But since android is still getting lack of game supporters. Might as well stick to my Samsung Galaxy Note 9.

                      Because it’s just like when you wanna do something, while who’s don’t see the potential just gonna hate and keep mocking. Later then actually you did it and succeed. That’s Apple, just let the hater keep hating, you just move on.
                      Anyway the game look have some potential, hopefully more AAA game from PC or console finally can play on iPhone

                          [deleted post]Fair enough, don't care about your opinion though. Would argue that telling someone online that he's pathetic for not having time for playing games because he has priorities in life is actually pathetic. In other words mate, get a life

                            [deleted post]Yikes dude, harsh a tad or what. I know me and this Dave guy had some words on another topic but he’s only saying he has other priorities in life, personally I can relate.

                            Actually I think mobile gaming peaked with, and should never have gone beyond the likes of angry birds, temple run, and candy crush etc. simple, quick and easy games that can be played on the go and that actually make sense on small touch screen based devices.

                            Playing something like death stranding on a smartphone, to me, is akin to driving a formula one car around a supermarket car park.
