This is great news, but I'm disappointed that they haven't fit in any form of simultaneous multiplayer - that's where the game really shines on WiiWare. It's a hoot. Still, the ghost chasing will be fun, as will the single player. I'm definitely buying it. This game is way more fun than 1000 Heroz, so if you liked that, you will love this.
This was one of the main reasons for borrowing my brothers Wii recently (well, after Mario Galaxy 2 anyway). Super hyped to learn that it's finally coming to ios! Can't wait..!!
Thanks for the replies guys! If there are any questions, feel free to ask them. We'll be checking this thread during GDC and beyond.
Well seeing how RedLynx did Trials, 1000Heroz and Draw Racing... I see no reason for this to suck Can't wait!
I'm just glad for any games by redlynx your one of my all time fav dev's. Still waiting for trials evo ;-)
Fantastic game on the Wii. Sucks that the iOS version won't have any multiplayer though - that was the main reason I was excited for the game in the first place. Imagine this with four players!
It does have multiplayer. It has ghost chasing leaderboard type stuff, which is also really well done in the WiiWare game, so I presume it will be good here. What it doesn't have is the simultaneous multiplayer "party mode" or whatever it was called. I wish it had that, but oh well. Seems like they could have done it local, at least, with bluetooth, and that would be awesome for plane and train rides with the family. Maybe in an update??? Please! Also I was wondering is this will be universal or at least offer a separate iPad version?
Nvm after thinking about it the controls are the right way round. Don't know what I was thinking. Anyway can't wait.
I'm not sure what you are saying. On the left is rotation controls, on the right is back/forward controls. It seems correct? I wouldn't want the go back button to be on the right of the go forward button. That would certainly be strange. Maybe I'm not understanding what you are saying, though. EDIT: oh, I see what you mean. Platformers have left/right on the left side. Is that what you meant? I guess they are thinking gas pedal, which is usually on the right of the screen. Maybe you can swap them, though.
We'll definitely think about and we have thought about how to get Party Rally, but it has to be a good experience. There are two versions, iPhone and iPad.
Okay, now I'm psyched for the 15th! Something tells me I may end up with both versions at some point fairly soon.
@Karl - I'll try to get the answers to your questions. Info from from Pahannes (developer) at RedLynx forums: Some levels are based on the best WiiWare levels but more or less tweaked and redecorated. There are still many brand new levels. This time there are six different vehicles each with own set of levels. No more space and water levels! The Moon world is also almost completely redesigned. It looks way better now. Some new artwork is included in every world. This time you can also upgrade your vehicle. Some levels have now different driving lines for fully upgraded vehicles and basic vehicles. A lot more variation! Also note that the asynchronous multiplayer is not a separate game mode. Racing against leader board ghosts is integrated directly into the single player mode. Every time you play you are racing against two ghosts: next star ghost (or your own if you already got three stars) and a leader board ghost. Leader board ghosts are automatically retrieved so you always have someone better than you to compete against.
Hey guys, MotoHeroz iOS will run on: iPod Touch 3G iPod Touch 4G iPhone 3GS iPhone 4(s) iPad iPad 2 Unfortunately, the iPhone 3G will not run MotoHeroz iOS.
I'll be buying both iPhone and iPad versions. I can't wait for Wednesday night! Also will keep fingers crossed that Party Rally can be added in a future update.
