‘Machinarium’ to support iPad 2, not iPad

Raymond Daily September 10, 2011 iPad, Software & Gaming

One of the finest independent games is finally to hit the Apple tablet. Bad news however for owners of the original iPad as the developer Amanita Design are claiming that it won't be supported.

According to their comments, the original iPad doesn't have enough memory, and the processor struggles to power the game. They are also releasing a version for capable Android tablets, and the Blackberry Playbook.

The iPad version was originally scheduled for release a month ago, but was delayed due to some development issues when converting the game from flash code.

The Xbox 360 also won't be supported, due to some problems working with Microsoft. Thankfully there will be a Playstation 3 version as well as a Wii version in the making.

Machinarium is a fantastic game with some beautifully rendered environments. When it was first released in 2009, it won the ‘Excellence in Visual Art' at the 12th Independent Games Festival.

Kitguru says: Is this the start of more demanding games demanding the iPad 2?

KitGuru Games: Predicting the Next Half a Decade of Call of Duty Releases

Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) famously once said: “The three absolutes in life are death, taxes and a new Call of Duty coming out every single year”. Sure enough, the US founding father has yet to be proven wrong, with Activision and a dozen studios having ensured that come the tail-end of any given year, there will be a new COD ready to release. And so, what can we expect from the franchise later this year? What about 2027, 2028 or even 2030? By looking back at the past two decades of Call of Duty games, their trends, progression and regression, I believe I can predict the next 5 years worth of annual COD entries.

    There are a few other titles only supporting the iPad 2. t he dual core really helps performance in more demanding games. I have even seen the intermission white power up screen in Plants V Zombie running more smoothly on the ipad 2
