N.O.V.A. on iPad - Apple Keynote January 2010 (Near Orbit Vanguard Alliance)

[jesusmetal92107]

apple signing off on a game that rips off a microsoft game. hmmm...

[wout14gmaildotcom]

@jesusmetal92107 What did it rip off ?

[ATgruppe80]

they are always excited...

[GuitarGhost123]

lol huge fail at 1:53

[GothamCityMayor]

Fake ass halo

[WiiThoko]

@GothamCityMayor *Rip off of halo

[XtremeApocalypse]

the ipad would be almost (!) useless without gameloft... it does just the best games for the ipad and iphone and ipod ^^

[combatCommohooah]

Just bought this game on my ipad, hopefully its good..

[Rjackman84]

This should be running this game like jello, the 3gs runs it smoother.

[KneeGrow214]

Lol splinter cell rip of (mark and exicute)

[Rjackman84]

@KneeGrow214

Mark and execute started with Rainbow Six in 1997.

[KneeGrow214]

@Rjackman84 yeah but was N.O.V.A made by tom clancy? i think not so it is a rip off

[TEOCEO1]

Halo ripoff -.-

[Onewa80]

Rip off of halo. So much of a rip off I WANNA GET IT!!!!

-80

[billybobjoethe5]

hahahahahahaha mark HICKEY!

[LittleWingedKuribo]

Any faster*

[LittleWingedKuribo]

I play the xbox 360 alot and enjoy FPS games but I got cod 3 for the wii and I didn't even get past the training mission the turning took for ever no mater where I held the controler I couldn't turn and faster with the highest sensitivity lol I traded in my wii to get my iPod touch that I am using just now :p

[Dzastynas]

@LittleWingedKuribo

everyone knows taht wii is crap ;P

ipod touch ftw, ps3 even more ftw! :D but x is nice too.

[nevikffud]

@Dzastynas wiis not good for shooters games.. but its great for little kids and there family (like wii sports) but i do agree ipod touch FTW! and xbox is pretty great

[Angelzvx]

@LittleWingedKuribo Did you modify your settings?

[pufixas]

i have that game on my ipod touch, SAME AS ON iPAD!!! just that ipad has bigger screen, BUT ITS STILL THE SAME!!! so thats the point to buy the ipad then you can buy 2x times cheaper iPod Touch! i'm just saying...

[zoodrazim]

i like it

[h5e5l5l5o5]

LMAO! Look at the AI, just starring at you...then stands there with the grenade right there

[kirox777]

@h5e5l5l5o5 lol who cares, it gives a taste of what is possible on the Nintendo 3DS. imagine playing beautiful 1080p HD call of duty online in and 3D in the subway or maybe while you are out camping in the woods (because nintendo might offer 3g connection) the ipad is shit but the new ds will work much better because it also has buttons ;)

[MikePitcher]

@h5e5l5l5o5 ....you obviously have no clue what they do in order to show how the game works without a hitch, they adjust the AI to allow for the person playing during the demo to do what they have to do along with the commentator. I.E. tossing a nade. its not at all how the game actually runs.

[Callofduty4nub]

not really good for games

[fenderguy0982]

Ahhhhh! I loved that game on the iTouch!! Now I really want an iPad hahaha

I wonder what Cod:WaW Zombies will be like :)

[jediacad]

@kirox777

Why is it a fact? Because you said it?

Wii's controls are bottom of the pile...

[kirox777]

@jediacad because of all the motion sensor can do. aiming with motion sensor is faster and more accurate. your seriously going to tell me that using thumb sticks is more accurate then motion controls you can do more commands with out having to stop aiming. you can even tilt the nunchuck to lean over corners

[jediacad]

@kirox777

It might be marginally faster, but the accuracy goes out the window when using the Wii remote! Hence why most of the first person shooters on Wii have completely failed due to the poor controls. Not even mentioning the diabolical hardware inside the Wii!

[kirox777]

@jediacad name some wii fps that failed due to controls...

[h5e5l5l5o5]

@kirox777

none

[eudemonroks]

Me want rocket launcher

[MistaKilljoy]

LMAO hickey

[inproductiveninja]

nova is an awesome game, and its gonna be a lot better on ipad :)

[hostesszinger]

DUDE! WTF! Fallout 3 V.A.T.S much?

[pancakescooking]

lol greande fail EPIC dont think i want it now

[rockerdock]

made the game way too easy!!! bad!!

[balob]

grenade throw fail

[blablabla5069]

how do u know u havent even played it

[kirox777]

if you play the wii version, there are stages missing, less features, in a map it looks digital with the lack of trees and stuff. you cant even stab properly because of the graphics. there is no stabbing animation so you get pissed off because u know u stabbed the guy

[kirox777]

look at CoD 360/ps3 vs wii which is better?

even tho the wii has superior controls to play the game the HD consoles are better. it has a far better experience. the wii's extremely low memory and horrible graphics, for this gaming generation, makes it suck compared to the others.

[blablabla5069]

nonono wrongwrongwrong controls suck on wii and shudve never made any cod for it its SUPER sensitive and it dosent even support as many players, or even a real comunity

[kirox777]

again you comparing apples and oranges. the ipad is better than the past consoles because it can do alot more. the ipads games could suck more tho.

the graphics for their own time varies. compare 2 different games like mariokart snes vs mariokart wii. what makes mariokart wii better?.. the graphics obviously and the amount of things stuffed into the game itself. that is why the ipad has more POTENTIAL for better games than a ds because it has way more room and far better graphics

[TheLightfever]

owesome

[StuartRedman1]

does the ds have an accelerometer? no It doesnt that in my opnion makes gameplay much better on the ipod touch also they have the app store which is far better than the dsi shop. Also the games are cheaper

[kirox777]

so dont play the ipad for games then... the ipad does waaay more than a ds. ds only plays games and does little things but the ipad is not a gaming handheld. plus it has better graphics and memory so it has potential for better games. the ds has like no working room so you get the littlest of games.

currently the ipad is obviously better than a ds but ds2 is coming out and all that is about to change. lets just leave it at that -_-

[kirox777]

@lunchboxboy ok 1st of all you shouldnt be comparing this in the 1st place. an ipad they said was meant to be like a new way to use the computer, so which would you rather use your laptop or your ipad.

if i gave you a ds lite to hold then gave you a dsi which would you say is less bulky? the dsi or the ds light? you will say the dsi because it feels more slimmer and better to hold. who will say the ds light, because it is smaller in length >_>

[lunchboxboy]

dsi thickness = 0.7 inches when closed

ipad thickness = 0.5 inches

0.2 inches = way slimmer?

dsi length = 3 inches when closed

ipad length = 9.6 inches

Which would you rather carry around with you?

DS wins because it's so much more portable than iPad's huge screen. If I want to play awesome touch games, I'll stick with my DS. (or even just my iphone)

[kirox777]

ok well you said ds not dsi

either way the ipad is slimmer then all 3. and you said its bulkier... you just proved that the ipad is slimmer. also the part about the length is irrelevant. if you say something is bulky you are commenting about the thickness dumbass.

even tho im no fan of apple you have to admit its 10x better than a ds/dsi. if i had an ipad in my hand and a ds in the other and said you can take 1 but you cant sell it, you would take the ds?? the ds only wins in size thats it!

[Rayz093]

LOVE My DSI, Best Portable GAMING CONSOLE i ever had >;3

[kirox777]

gameloft make so much downloadable stuff everywhere! also what resolution does the ipad play games at?

[vinnievman]

@kirox777 umm not sure but i have a one with this game (nova) and its full on hd i luv it :)

[kirox777]

@vinnievman i found out its 1080p. which means the 3DS will be at 1080p. and the screen will be sexy looking in 3D! GLASSES FREE using this kind of technology called lenticular viewing watch#!v=og0-tSA49Vo&feature=r­elated

nintendo better not let anyone down with the 3ds -_- or else it will loose to fxckin apple

[Music4everRock]

@kirox777 usually it says in itunes under game information. most of them are HD.

[mclaine33]

Hey what about the Voice Chat that you promised with the iPhone/iPod Touch version of NOVA? When is that update coming?

[lunchboxboy]

im not that impressed - it's like a nintendo ds but bulkier

[dogfacekiller1234567]

ipad look asum for the internet but in my opinion i theank it wood be realy hard to play games on the ipad kus its so big

[yoiitzmo]

there should also be an update to make the ipod touch and iphone version like that.

it takes me forever to beat nova and especially on harder modes

[thehelloman0rs]

And why not? For $500, you could get a very decent laptop.... the ipad is just a terrible deal.

[zewzag]

Nobody is the best at NOVA you morons. Everybody hacks now so you all lose.

[tam10thegame]

Bogdan,the guy that is playing NOVA,is the only romanian that was there....how cool of him:(

[domandape]

-Best at Nova-  D122L3

[melmelcorvette]

I bet there gonna raise the price from 6.99 to 15.99 or 10.99!

[wUzZPmaN]

Sweet! Now Nova's even better

[fkthlf]

how its possible to play a game like that on a big thing like that???

[chavezpwnsu10]

imagine the size of the charger lol

[noobysoup]

If you actually buy ipad/ipod for gaming why not just buy a gaming console , somethign that was meant for gaming lol

[viper7ryan]

multitask, all you need is a version of multitasking for the iphone for ipad and flash, the hardware supports it so its going to be jailbroken in and then eventually apples going to put it on the ipad

[LavaFlaminG6]

this is pretty cool, i understand that most people think that the iPad basically is just an iTouch with a bigger screen, but not only can everything run smoother, but graphics can be enhanced up to %300 and notice that they've added tons of things to this version of N.O.V.A, imagine what they would do to Modern Combat Sandstorm! Don't hate on N.O.V.A, haters, hate on the iPad!

[viper7ryan]

how about haters hate themselves...

[LavaFlaminG6]

haters hating themselves sound like a fantastic idea

[lyndel4]

dude you rock and the IPAD is the best Device out there now and just looking at this you can see that alot of devs are going to make some cool apps and games for this device and when this happens alot of users even those that say bad things about the device even they will want one I know I will :)

[shanswea]

@AppsForMacs Ya  so true i would buy it too

[supercooldudeism]

Hey, this is a good idea in progress! Loose the AT&T, go rogers or bell instead or make it optional, make it a multi tasking device (I heard it isn't on that hitler video), speed it up, basically, If they can, work up to turning it into a macbook pro but same size or close to with the ipad software. I like the idea of having a mobile touch screen that can double as a desktop if the keyboard is added. how about a macbook with a touch screen?... Can't wait to see what apple comes up with next!

[Runescape2Help515]

Just an iPhone with a larger screen but cant make calls. Big woop...

[MrPilingo]

stupid as the majority of apple products

[prash995]

It's just modified iPod touch but my iphone3gs is much better and it is not as handy as a notebook

[roxasnobody9]

amen to that

i purchased my iphone the same day they were goin to announce it when i saw the ipad i thought it was a oversized ipod touch on steroids

i have no room for the ipad what so ever so ill stick with my 3gs

[zerolimits456]

lol grenade with the finger ha ha...to slow to sluggish.

[A1260T]

jerky?

[KINGJADEX]

Gameloft this looks incredible, I will definately purchase this one day 1 with my iPad! Great job! May I suggest also reworking, Modern Combat: Sandstorm for iPad! Definately another sale for me (and probably alot others)!

[BodoFragins]

@NeutronRocks, port wasn't the word I should have used, as its really almost the same platform, but I just don't think it looks very good, the little joystick and fire buttons are very funny looking for one thing. However I will say, if I had an iPad, I would probably play this.

[BodoFragins]

Just No.

N.O.V.A. on the iPad has no class as the iPhone version had. It was a cool thing on the platform, but here it looks lame, fake, and very glitchy.

The iPad looks awesome, but if you're going to have an fps for it, build it from the ground up and not just a lame port. :(

[NeutronRocks]

@BodoFragins NOT just a lame port. They are adding new controls like crazy. Open doors by sliding with three fingers, awesome graphics, minimap, advanced controls of controls, new grenade controls... TONS OF STUFF!

[Darthslim108]

Well keep in mind this is basically a prototype they threw together in a couple weeks, plus the video itself isn't great quality. I'm sure Gameloft will have this finely tuned by the time they release it.

[JoaoAlv3s]

targeting box sucks!!

[sebbee3]

hahaha, fail 1:55

[NiteX2]

I am not a believer. Games just don't work well with a touch screen. It seems this pad is using the same lacking touch technology that plagues the iphone and ipod touch. Maybe Apple should take notes from Nintendo more closely next time?

[dutchietor]

I say this thing is better then a laptop.

They make laptops with touch.

But wtf do you want a laptop with touch?

Com'n.

Apple made a great product.

Make a laptop with touch and delete the keyboard.

You get the ipad.

[AngretLord]

but its worse than a laptop, a laptop does so much more, this is just a glorified ipod touch

[almagare22]

By the way...the game is made in Romania...we have great game developers and most of the games for ipod and iphone from gameloft were made in Romania.....oh,,,,and i forgot.....if you played H.A.W.X. (for PC) you should know that even this game was made there ...so stay tunned because were comming, and we're comming hard ;)

[NeglectedGlitchers]

For example, if we want to throw a grenade, we can by swiping two fingers across the screen like this... *FAIL*

[kc1597]

@NeglectedGlitchers lol yeah i saw him trying twice lol

[brace110]

Everybody did and nobody cares

[Burn1ngSn0wMan]

gameloft,

Will there be an update for the iPhone and iPod Touch version with that minimap thing? its really handy.

[thepineapple1]

so where do u use it?bus?car?school?university?k­ind of beats the portability that the iPod/iPhone have.and if u want big screen, a pc is much more comfortable and fast.this is really a useless device

[Shad0whearth]

right.. its usless.... If i whant to play games on high screen i do it at home with mine powerplant pc. If i whant to play games on bus, at work during break, ill use iphone, becouse it fits in mine pocket. I love mine iphone, but ipad is just moust usless item, expencive toy... fanbots will freaking murder me for this...

[asitodoasi7878]

pixel pixel pixel!!!! hollie shi!!

[fenix611]

looks like GreedPad.

[Fevernova55]

sick

[appletree0124]

sick

[MadPropzBaller]

Sick

[Lakey64]

Not that bad I guess considering they only had a couple of weeks.

[pocky94]

ipad looks cool but i don't need it

[vius]

yes the ipad is awesome... but i think... no need _>

[Miyamoto10]

they schould release that game for xbox 360

[TMTLive]

You already have it. 's called Halo.

[llllWD9543llll]

@94youngMC HAHAHA so true when u think about it

[S3K7OR555]

¿Qué le pasa a Apple? El iPad es una verdadera mierda! ; jajajajaja yo no gastaré mi dinero en esa porquería,es lo mismo.

[IcyShock123]

Rocket Launcher looks so overpowered :P Targets Locked?!?

[shrint]

ipad = ifail

[Zhoroth]

@residentevil808 The fixed statement you gave: This is a lot of money! I am going to stick with my iPod and headphones. I would rather not buy products from Apple.

Now that that is fixed. Please give a few reasons to support your statement.

[residentevil808]

well please read again i dont wnt it i rather be old fashioned!

[michaelmp5]

Disappointing gameloft.

Why not create something like "flower" for ps3 on the iPad, it is simple, colourful, engaging and utilises all of the features on the iPad.

Now I would buy that in a heartbeat.

[lyndel4]

Dont worry maybe they will do it I mean just give them some time and go to there website and request it it sounds like a really nice game :)

[btoews12]

I will be very interested to see what developers can do with this new device.

[angusyounggg]

haha i dont really know why i would need this but i still want to get it

[H20RockBandSH]

@pspunk666 Not a fail its actually pretty amazing. I would like to see how good the quility is on the 10 inch screen! MAybe the device looks retarted but whatever i think its about what the device does.

[lyndel4]

you right and its going to be successful apple really made a amazing product and you can see that this is just one example there is even one the NFS Shift and it looks awsome and I got a labtop myself and it just cant play the games aswell as the IPAD can and thats one reason I would get one and dont forget the cool apps :P

[DZA9mm]

@pspunk666 im sticking to my ipod, that shit is JUNK lol

[YaBoyKhalilTv]

THIS IS SICK!!!
