Will Posted September 9, 2010 Posted September 9, 2010 Have any of you signed up for game center yet? My ID is will' if anyone wants to add me.
Daft Posted September 9, 2010 Posted September 9, 2010 No, I jailbroke my phone instead. Still been buying apps though, just nice to demo them.
McPhee Posted September 9, 2010 Posted September 9, 2010 Anybody got Words With Friends? No Game Centre for me, not available on the 3G. Apparently it's too slow to handle it, although the identically spec'd iPod Touch 2G manages just fine. Maybe it'll appear in Cydia at some point?
Mr_Odwin Posted September 9, 2010 Posted September 9, 2010 I read the 2G iPod touch has a slightly quicker processor.
Will Posted September 9, 2010 Posted September 9, 2010 Also the touch wouldn't need to be running all of the phone stuff in the background, that's probably enough to just push it into useable territory.
Happenstance Posted September 9, 2010 Posted September 9, 2010 Signed up to Game Center, my nickname is Happenstance
Charlie Posted September 9, 2010 Posted September 9, 2010 As soon as a jailbreak is available for 4.1 I'll be getting it and Game Center set up.
Mike Posted September 9, 2010 Posted September 9, 2010 I'm Mike! on GameCenter, if anyone wants to add me.
Dyson Posted September 9, 2010 Posted September 9, 2010 And I'm Dysonism - I'll add the previous people now : peace:
Wesley Posted September 9, 2010 Posted September 9, 2010 I don't get Game Center because I'm filthy and don't give Apple money each year. I did however get my old phone back today.
Dyson Posted September 9, 2010 Posted September 9, 2010 The Creeps! is free for today thanks to FAAD. It's a pretty awesome tower defence game, and if you're anything like me you'll get right on it.
Happenstance Posted September 10, 2010 Posted September 10, 2010 Its actually been free since the 6th so may end soon. I got it and loved it, gonna order some of the new levels next week.
flameboy Posted September 10, 2010 Posted September 10, 2010 Ok so two issues/things/questions I'm posting in here! So firstly just before xmas I was planning on getting an iphone which I didn't get in the end, but with some left money from an itunes voucher I had bought some apps...flight control, mecho wars and one other which name escapes me...yet now they have vanished from my apps tab...I've gone into the store and picked flight control and it still has a price on it so is it free or not again? Also I've been trialing an ipod touch last gen for work and am amazed by the large amount of cheap awesome games there are on it as a platform. So I'm thinking what is the cheapest most useable way I should go for buying one for gaming? 2nd Gen touch 8GB seems to be the most viable option? I'm not so bothered about multitasking but that still support gamecenter right? whats the cheapest ipod that does support multitasking out of curiosity?
Happenstance Posted September 11, 2010 Posted September 11, 2010 'Chu Chu Rocket' coming to iPhone, iPad Chu Chu Rocket has been announced for Apple devices. SEGA will be porting the Dreamcast puzzle title to iPhone and iPad in October, according to Pocket Gamer. As well as Game Center support for leaderboards and achievements, the iPad version will feature a multiplayer mode for up to four users on one device. The title will feature all the stages from the Dreamcast original, multiplayer over local WiFi and Puzzle and Challenge modes. Chu Chu Rocket was originally released in 2000 by Sonic Team. http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/gaming/news/a275787/chu-chu-rocket-coming-to-iphone-ipad.html This is awesome news, I used to love Chu Chu Rocket on the DC and ive been waiting for someone to port it.

If you have bought apps on an iTunes account, you can redownload them again for free. As for the iPod, you would probably be better off getting a 16gb 3rd gen one, as you will find noticeably better performance on games, and they will look better in a lot of cases. These are also the ones that do multitasking. The 8gb 3rd gen models used the old hardware.
Happenstance Posted September 11, 2010 Posted September 11, 2010 I didnt know there was a 16gb 3rd gen iPod?

Happenstance Posted September 11, 2010 Posted September 11, 2010 Is it 32gb? For 3rd gen id only read about/seen 8gb (as you said, not the same hardware), 32gb and 64gb
That Guy Posted September 11, 2010 Posted September 11, 2010 For 3rd gen id only read about/seen 8gb (as you said, not the same hardware), 32gb and 64gb Yeah just looked on Amazon and you're correct. The 4th gen 8gb might not be that much more expensive and you'll get even better hardware as the 8gb is the same as the rest this time around. If you don't need the storage, and you're buying it for games then the better hardware might be the better option for you.

EDIT: can't find 16gb 3rd gen on either amazon or cex is their defintely one?! EDIT: So is this one no good: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Apple-iPod-touch-Launched-Sept/dp/B002MRRRP0/ref=sr_1_3?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1284218607&sr=1-3 just it soooooo much cheaper than the newest ones £136 compared to £209 for 8GB.

Happenstance Posted September 11, 2010 Posted September 11, 2010 Nah that 8gb isn't really worth it, newer apps/games will most likely start to have trouble with the older hardware. I was thinking the same thing the other week when I bought mine, apparently they even struggle a bit with the new OS

The one I have from work is a 32GB last gen and seems to run fine so don't want something that won't run as well as that.

It sounds like storage isn't what you're after so definitely the best option for you. I noticed a massive difference playing Worms on my iPhone 3G compared to my iPhone 4 which is the jump you would pretty much be making. It was unplayable on 3G. Plus you're getting the retina display which is a fantastic screen, which makes the old ones look really blurry. Games like Doodle Jump that have been optimised look amazing. If it was storage as well as gaming you were after I'd say maybe get the last gen 32gb one, but you'll never fill up 8gb with games so I'd say go for that one.

Yeah I have my music on my blackberry and a massive micro sd card and really good podcast catcher...so I'm not so bothered about using my ipod for that...although looking at cex could get a preowned 32GB at a price between £155-£195 http://uk.webuy.com/search/index.php?rad_which_stock=1&stext=ipod+touch+32GB+3rd+gen§ion=all
