I wish Audiosurf had a mode where every note was good to hit. It's weird passing on notes that go with the music. Only sometimes does the game feel epic when you get a string of notes that goes with the song.
I agree! It sometimes fails to make me feel the song when I'm trying to miss grey blocks, instead of a relaxing pure musical-rhythmical experience.
My only concern is exactly how much "iPod Library Access" is Apple allowing? From what I understand, Audiosurf needs to scan through the song before it generates the stage. Will Apple allow them to actually find the file and analyze it for this purpose, or is library access merely the ability to play music and playlists? If it were the latter, could a workaround be performed? I wouldn't get too excited about Audiosurf just yet. Wait until the developer has an official announcement one way or the other.
I SOOOOOO WANT THIS for the iPhone!!!!!! It would be amazing, especially with 3.0!! Please, someone send an email or something, I would love to hear that it's a sure thing. I would buy it as soon as it came out.
It's dead. At least for now as SDK doesn't allow an app to analyze music on your OWN ipod. Freakin lame in my opinion. Must be some RIAA conspiracy theory if you ask me. See Music Catch thread for more info.
When the 3.0 SDK releases I think we'll have a pretty good chance at seeing an Audiosurf port. The creator has already expressed interest.
No I'm specifically talking about 3.0 at least the dev of Music Catch is. I hope he is mistaken but I sincerely doubt that is the case. Read his post in the thread that I linked.
It was announced that 3.0 will allow devs use of the iPod via SDK. I've yet to see apple backpeddle from that, did that dev link anything along those lines?
iPhone OS 3.0 is not support directly access(read) music file in music library. see 'Media Player Framework Reference' in 3.0 SDK. only support playing music and getting music info. To generate rhythm from music... app must directly access(read) music file. I think... AudioSurfer can't implement in iPhone OS 3.0.
F*** Apple <.< *goes off and sulks in a corner* Why in the world won't they allow that?! Maybe they could support uploading tracks to a server like another game is doing (i forget which one, but some of you guys might know).
That or have something where it's already pre-programmed for certain tracks or albums but I agree it's really dumb and it shouldn't force devs to do this because we all know most devs won't do it.
