So hows that mac port going?

[BloodPact]

How about a port to the new iPhones? If you can remote play with a Vita this game should be able to run on an iPhone...

Vita has physical buttons that a smartphone lacks. It would take your at least twice the time to do something, assuming you tapped the correct part of the screen.

Q: I mainly use a Mac. Do you have any plans of making a Mac version of the game?
A: Kasuga: Leaving aside the question of concrete plans, I was able to check out actual gameplay on a Mac version client yesterday, so the rest is really up to Yoshida.

Yoshida: There are still quite a few graphic bugs, but performance-wise the game runs on a Mac with fairly modest specs. What Kasuga is saying, is that he received a request to create a Mac version, and it ran successfully on the middleware, but he is waiting on my judgment as to whether or not I think the business aspect of it will be successful.

Macs make up a fairly high percentage of all computer sales and the number of Mac users has grown over the years, but their main purpose is generally not to play games. But despite there being a low percentage of gamers on Macs, we can still snag a good share of the market...

The same can be said for an input device.

You can already do that. It's just . . .not very easy.

Personally I think a lot of us are playing on Bootcamp, because this is a great game. But it would be nice to be able to play on OS X, since that's why we own a Mac, we prefer to do everything on OS X.

Could have it so you can still use the PS4 controller with the phone like with the new Xperia phones.
Although...

I guess they will keep the Remote Play feature for phones exclusively for the Xperia phones.

Q17: Can you tell us the status on add-ons and DirectX 11?

A17: ...
In regards to DirectX 11, we will be addressing this along with the release of the expansion. We’d like to show off a side-by-side comparison video of DirectX 9 and DirectX 11 at the Fan Festival in Tokyo. Additionally, we’re also preparing a benchmark before launch.

On the Mac front, progress is continuing and we are planning for a late-March/April release.

Thank you so much. Kisses!


On a side note, if you have problems redownloading a 13GB game, you can always head to an Apple store and use their bandwidth. They encourage people using their connection during OS releases!

I shall buy this and it shall please me.
