    CONFIRMED RETINA READY GAMES

    This thread is a work in progress!
    NOTE: This thread does not contain games wich are optimized for the ipad 3. For example Infinity blade 2 and epoch are optimised for the ipad 3, but not for the retina display. Therefore those are not retina games.
    NOTE 2:I cannot test all these games myself but can test some.
    Get these games at your own risc. it may not look as beautiful as other games(like real racing 2 wich is IMO best graphics game now on ipad 3)

    This is a good thread idea. I'm sure the updates will roll in for big titles like Infinity Blade II or Dead Space in the next few days like they did preceding the iPad 2 launch. What I'm anxious to hear about is whether or not applications that aren't optimized for the retina display look like total dog s*** like they do on the iPhone and iPod Touch retina displays.
    Here's my wishlist for retina display support and/or graphics optimized for A5X:

    Chaos Rings II
    Incoboto
    Fruit Ninja HD
    Plants vs. Zombies HD
    Real Racing 2 HD
    Infinity Blade II

    Update: IBII update confirmed? Hellz yes!

    The graphics in Sparkle and the first Azkend have been created somewhere around 2006 and 2007 when the target resolution for PC casual games was a tiny 800x600 so they are highly unlikely at this point.

    Heroes of Kalevala is somewhere halfway between resolution independence and the old school style. It was hand crafted to support the retina display in iPhone 4. Creating iPad retina support would involve a huge amount of hand crafting again. It would probably need an astonishing sales boost to be viable. We'll monitor the interest but at this point it seems somewhat unlikely.

    Fortunately our games are automatically resolution independent since Joining Hands so more recent games were quite easy to adapt.

    Lol, yeah, I figured someone would say that. :p I just figure that it would be nice to have it nice and crisp-looking, especially since I would argue that the game plays best on the iPad (out of the million platforms it's on).

    epic tweeted IBII would get an update to support retina display

    Also while not confirmed games from EA (Dead Space), Firemint (Real Racing 2), Popcap (Plants vs Zombies) will get a retina display support sooner or later. Those are given.
