Max Payne Mobile - (by Rockstar Games) - Universal App

IB2 has its moments of lagging(in certain rooms), as well as MC3. Actually, I would say that MC3 has a pretty poor performance on 4G. Not exactly stutters, but a low frame rate and a low responsive rate. I haven't played Max Payne yet, but I've seen some levels(like the level with rain) on youtube with iPhone 4 and it did lag pretty bad. Plan to get MP soon though. few more pts on FMA

The iPod Touch has less memory, less RAM, then the iPhone, which leads to serious issues on games attempting to push iDevice specs. Plus, the chip is obviously two generations old. But it's the internal memory, or lack there of, that's screwing up performance. It's really a joke that Apple continues to sell that device at full price. I wonder if Apple employees are honest enough to tell you what you are buying, because it would be unethical and display a complete lack of integrity if you went around selling potential customers a bill of goods when it comes to what the iPod Touch really is. It's an antiquated, outdated piece of tech that Apple has no business selling with any legitimate justification at that price.

It has half the ram AND pushes retina display... Which REALLY makes it suffer. I totally agree about pricing for the 4th gen, it's rediculous.

i disagree with that list, my 4th gen doesn't lag on all the games showing there that i've played, the only one that might lag sometimes it's IB2 and even so, Max payne lags SO much worse, when there is fire, it's UNPLAYABLE, like nothing i've ever seen before, srsly. i don't get why, geometrically the game is way below recent gameloft games, in textures as well and animations and physics, i really don't get why this problem shows so bad in the 4th gen.

Keep your 4th gen, enjoy it. What the 💩💩💩💩 do I care.

Seems like you care quite a lot actually

ppl get to sensitive and take too personal in this forum lol

it's obvious that some ppl are just not allowed to disagree. but hey, overall, MP is one of the best TPS on the iOS IMHO.

Ive never had a 4G but my iPhone 4 ran most games fine(MC3 and IB2 lagged sometimes, but playable). Considering iPod has less ram but same resolution, I expect it to be quite bad. When I use my friend's it doesn't feel smooth at all. I've been using an iPad 2 since it came out and 4S for months so that's probably the reason. But you still gotta understand, not everyone that payed $200 on an iPod can afford a $600 or more phone.

It's always easier to see / understand if you have two different devices next to each other. That made it clear to me.

Just turned thirty here myself and I truly am wowed by what is capable on a mobile device these days. That said, I am also a technology freak and expect more and more from -in this case- mobile devices and what they can do.

But what is a stunning looking game worth without proper controls? Exactly!
I too, can be both stunned and also quite critical at the same time.
The problem I have with the controls is the mere fact it misses the smoothness of -lets say- Modern Combat 3 when looking around. Like it's too senstive as it goes all over the place like it has Parkinson when you move your finger about.
And I've tried to lower the sensitivity, but that doesn't help much either.

Shell casings and blob shadows would be a great addition, but I truly hope the controls will be the main priority for the next update. That will make the game much more enjoyable.
I stopped playing after a few levels.
