I was thinking about getting Broken Sword, the directors cut for my DS for Xmas, thought I'd check to make sure it wasn't about to arrive for iPhone and stumbled on this: http://www.neoseeker.com/news/12668-broken-sword-directors-cut-coming-to-pc-iphone/ Looks like it's due for release mid January!
Great news! Iphone/touch is certainly rapidly becoming the premier platform for point-and-click adventure classics.
They also use the name iBass when referring to Beneath a Steel Sky, but that's not the actual title I wouldn't worry.
I hope they also bring the rest of the Broken Sword games to the iPhone. There are four games in this series: Broken Sword: Shadow of the Templars Broken Sword II: The Smoking Mirror Broken Sword III: The Sleeping Dragon Broken Sword IV: The Angel of Death The last two use a 3D engine. The series' creator is also working on a film script.
Autosave There'd better be autosave. I pretty much quit playing Broken Sword on my DS after forgetting to save three times in a row and losing an hour of play each time.
Auosave? On adventure games? Never heard of it! Broken Sword is the best adventure game ever made. EVER.
I have a feeling you're in for a treat The iPhone version of Beneath a Steel Sky had an autosave feature - I can't see why Broken Sword wouldn't. Moreover, unlike the DS edition, it's supposed to be fully voiced.
I'm playing this one on my DS, pretty awesome. i wish i can see more new adventure games on iphone instead of remaking of the old classics ( which most of them i already finished ) maybe i should just make one myself for my next game
Nice, Glad Charles managed to keep hold of the IP for Broken Sword all this time... Should sell well ... Really need to catch up with all the sheffield lot/developers at some point!
Can't wait! I loved Beneath a Steel Sky and more stuff from the same developers can only be great. Also, I am all for ports and remakes of old classics, as I never played a P&C adventure before they started to appear for the Touch. And IMHO portability is much better suited to this genre. Bring it on, the more the better, I say!
