This could've been fine as such a release for $15-20.
Wonder if we'll get another Deus Ex game announced during E3.

Is Square making money on their iOS games, or are they just hoping they will eventually become huge?

See, but this isn't my problem. I love playing games on my iPad. Just not games like Deus Ex.
(Though be be fair, I'm a fickle mush-head, I don't want to play Deus Ex on consoles either.)
Crazy, ain't it. The idea of being a 'hardcore' gamer and yet not owning an iPhone (or not wanting to play games on an iOS device) baffles me.
Still, it does seem as though many, many people just can't get past the 'no buttons' bit. I can kinda understand that given that no amount of coercing has ever got me to play games on a mouse and keyboard.

I hate scummy Apple and will never own one of their products myself. So a) I can't easily play this even if I wanted. But more importantly I b) have tried a lot of the supposedly great mobile games on other touch devices over the last two years and they just don't work for me. I don't like touch controls when I'm gaming. Especially if the games are more complex like this one seems to be I immediately long for a better control method.
Watched the video again and it didn't seem like they were having fun or were very enthusiastic.

You wouldn't understand, you are an iOS gamer. The elite hardcore gamers know what it's like. Also haven't you heard? 95% of games are incapable of being played with touch controls. No I don't have data to support that so don't ask.
sarcasm just in case nobody picked up on that

what a shame
It's not baffling, touch screen "hardcore" gaming is clunky at best. It works fine for certain games but not FPS and most other genre usually on consoles.
Also, an iPhone is really expensive.

Because I don't like Apple overpriced products and touch controls sucks for games like these and many others.
Until the platform dosn't get a proper buttons any hate is warranted.
I don't see what's so bad about this. It's not like this is replacing the 'true' sequel to Human Revolution. That's bound to happen eventually. This is just a potentially cool little spin-off for mobile gamers and fans of the series. Maybe you're disappointed by the reveal, but that's why you don't get yourself hyped up over rumors and marketing. Ya babies.
I'll give it a shot if Square doesn't skew the design towards shitty IAP implementation.

Oh noooo it's a mobile game, waaaaaaaaaah.
Get over it.
I think this looks cool, fingers crossed it's actually a good game.

Quick question, does Square Enix have any Android games besides FF3? It seems like the majority of their mobile output is iOS based. I don't have a smartphone, so either way I'm assed out, but I'd imagine a lot of Android users would want some SE games.

Ugh, I was hoping it would be a full fledged sequel or expansion to HR for the consoles. And not even on Android either?

Is it so hard to understand that some people don't like touch controls for traditional games?
Digital analog sticks are probably some of the worst things I ever used. This game looks great but why should I give a fuck when playing it feels like shit for me?
You forgot Sleeping Dogs, but no, the company, meaning the business part of it. Making decisions to create iOS titles, which is usually met with dismay by their fans. And they. keep. doing. it. That's the Square Enix the company I'm talking about.
I have an iOS device. I play games on them. Just not first/third person shooters because they're either on rails or control horribly. About the only movement they showed was the player sliding behind cover anyway. Yeah. So absolutely no confidence this latest entry will be any good.

So we laugh at the idea of Xbone costing 600$ but buying an iPhone for 649$ (the cheapest one) is totally ok?.

not a fan of how the protag looks.
game looks fun though. Hope it plays well. $7 is a good price.

These kind of games never work well on a touch device though. I love iOS games that cater to a touchscreen, making a game that's built around a controller for precision put onto a touch device never works. Never has, never will.

Had an iPhone 5 since launch because I was interested in playing some of the games I had been missing out on: laid out about $50 on the market the first few months and quickly lost interest. Everything I played was either shallow or a port that played better on a system with buttons. The screen's just too small. I'll buy that the iPad might better facilitate excellent 'hardcore' games, but I ain't buying it on the iPhone. Not anymore.
Unless you would care to give me some recommendations I might have missed out on? I would genuinely love to be shown the error of my ways before I switch back to Android.
You can keep not giving a fuck, just don't start crying like a baby every time an important iOS game is announced (not saying it's your case).
The problem is not that it is on iOS (no matter your opinion of mobile gaming), the problem is that it is only on iOS. A baffling decision. Especially so when the engine and tools already exist on other platforms that are better suited to playing this type of game. Some might say that this is just a normal platform exclusivity thing, but what is there to gain for SE?

Did you see the reaction to the rumor of Xbone costing that much? Did you see the reaction of people to PS3 being 599$?

Disappointed it's not a full sequel for PC, but I don't hate touch controls (just uninterested by most of the stuff on iOS) so I'll try this

Come ooooon, why the fuck? Put your time and money in a sequel god dammit, not in a fucking iOS game.
