Since you're running 1440x1080 resolution, you only calculate twice the number of pixels of 1024*768, so you theoretically keep the same performance with the quad core graphics

this is basically what i been saying you just worded it much better then i, they need to do this to compensate for how the new ipad handles the higher resolution without loosing the quality in graphics, since the textures are made at a higher resolution you scale the actual texture size down and apply it to the model but still can use full retina resolution without loosing the performance...

and infinity blade 2 upped the textures and graphics in last nights update the andandtech write up was way before this update, it looks way better then it did before the update and runs perfect.

Leave the dev alone plz for apple knew that more demanding games would be tough to run at such a high resolution and they still did it. IB2 doesn't count since that game is soooooooo slowwwwwww and renders only two characters on screen at any giving time while GoF2 is consistently rendering a continuously moving environment plus ships and effects.

I saw two iPads at best buy the other day and had to carefully pay close attention in order to figure out which one was the new one and which was an iPad 2. So to me, the retina on the new iPad isn't as stricking as it was on the iPhone 4 from the 3GS.

At the end, iPad 2 comes on top more capable since the new iPad can't run most games in full def and maintain better ot equal performance.

iPad 2 wins!

Give it time its new hardware you will eat those words once the devs figure out how to get the most from the new ipad there is no reason it wont happen the new ipad in essence is a ipad 2 running sli with 1 gb of ram which is double the 512 in the ipad 2 and iphone 4. Ib2 being slow has nothing to do with the graffix they have some of the most detailed texture work ive seen on the device and tons of shader and lighting effects. Gof 2 hd Uses a completly different engine which renders and handles much differently then ib 2 .

In IB2, the characters are rendered in a fully 3d environment - more than just a skybox which is what surrounds you in GOF2HD (it's not like all the stars and visible planets are 3d objects). also the movement speed of the 3d models doesn't impact performance..

my point is you are ignoring very important factors - IB2 very well might be showing more triangles on screen at a time compared to GOF2HD. none of us have any real idea.

Hi Guys,

we are working on running GOF2 HD at 1440 x 1080 on the new iPad. First tests look promissing. Unfortunately, we have to create a new set of UI assets as the current set is just too small. As GOF2 comes with plenty of 2D assets for the UI in particular when docked to a station that will take some time. We hope for you understanding and please stay with us!

Cheers,
Michael

I can't find a answer to this. I just bought the game in HD about a week or so ago and now I can't get passed the mission where I need to collect 50t of alien ore or something like that. I think I need to go though a orm hole to get to void territories but it's not letting me get there. I love this game but im absolutely frustrated as I tried evyything I and visited every place possible. PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Fastbridge
There is a bug in the current version of the game
as soon as you go through a wormhole it takes you back to where you started.
I hear an update has been submitted with this bug fixed but just waiting on apple's approval
