Awesome I can't wait to play this game. This just rocked my mind.

It's essentially an unhinged dynamic v-stick (just not drawn on-screen) with some subtle modifications to make it feel smooth. You have full control over your movement both in and out of combat, including run and dodge.

As for combat controls, once you get it in your hands and figure out all the different combat abilities, I think it will make perfect sense why we went with this style of input. It feels pretty good to me (and we're not covering the screen with a bunch of virtual buttons, which is a plus), but I'm interested to hear what people thing once they get a chance to play it.

GREAT!!!!so...er...When can I expect the release of this game please?

I expect a release when iPhone 5 will come out! Release only for 4s and 5, I think, graphics seems to heavy for iPhone 3GS and 4

Very happy to hear about the control scheme. That was definitely a good choice.

Any news on the release date or beta test maybe?

Dude, this'll be the sixth iPhone. Not the fifth. Why do people keep calling it that? There was the iPhone, the 3G (2nd gen), the 3GS, the 4, the 4S (the iPhone 5 by another name), and then the unnamed iPhone. Possibly just "the new iPhone".

Because that's what Apple calls it, that's why! What's the point of you trying to call it differently when everyone knows them by that? Why try to create confusion for no reason? Does it make you feel mentally superior? Good for you if it does, but the rest of us call them what they are since we don't get to name the products. It is what it is. Period.

Dude calm down. It's just a fricken iOS game.

Apple hasn't said a single word about the name of the device.

Tris is right. You are wrong. It's ok.
