at the moment there are no infos on how exactly the mp part will look like
and every comment on it is pure speculations..

as for 1,2,3 i agree with you pov.. i don't have a problem with it either.. and honestly can't see how anyone else would have.. as it makes not much of a difference *shrug*

IAP in MP is just asking for the game to be hacked. Not that it couldn't be already, but it seems IAP makes it easier/faster.

Also with IAP MP games become unbalanced due to the fact that people will b*th at their parents, or so forth, and pay ridiculous prices for consumables. This makes it a high paying king of the hill setup. Now that it's free it gives more ppl the opportunity to try it out, therefore giving more ppl the opportunity to go IAP crazy.

Like I mentioned earlier, no hardcore gamer wants consumable IAP in a game. Go to the World of Midagard website (where tons of hardcore MMORPG players reside), and you'll see their absolute disgust for consumable IAP. That's why WoM IAP is mostly for aesthetic purposes.

Another first person view shooting game? Frankly, I don't think this type of the game feels good on touch devices, especially small screen sized ones like iPhone.

It's third person...over the shoulder.

well you assume it will be unballanced consumeables.. i can image a hundred different way iap can be applied to an mp game.. from good to worser than bad..

as for hardcore gamers who care for an mobile mmo.. i hardly doubt thoose few people represent anything in the big iOS sea of users..

anyway pointless to debate about something one knows nothing about.. ie the multiplayer part of shadowgun

lets wait and see what the devs actualy show, then one can debate about it

You could have replied in a less sarcastic way but...

Yes, I should have read that previous post thoroughly. I was kind of shocked that they would release on Android first. After reading Squarezero's post it does provide a good explanation.

Was thinking about getting Shadowgun but it seems like multiplayer wont be coming to iOS.

I'll hold on to my $5 for now.

It is. But then again, it will be a separate free app, so if you're just interested in multiplayer might as well save your money.

I still consider Shadowgun to be one of the best games on the iOS simply because of how gorgeous it looks, and how flawless the gameplay runs and how responsive the controls are.

Yeah there WERE glitches and all that but what game doesnt? Awesome part is that this game gets fixes.
