    Wait, you don't know already? :rolleyes:

    Seriously though I don't see why paying twice is a big issue. If you buy a game for the Xbox 360 that's also released for the PC you don't expect to buy one version and get the other version free do you? I realize this is a different market, but to me it's still something where I don't think people should get offended (not saying you were) if the Developer charged for each separate version. If the developer wants to give it away then obviously that's fine, but if they charge for it I don't have a problem.

    A couple more questions, will Red Gun have GameCenter? Even if it just has achievements it's a major plus for a lot of people. Also are you guys looking for beta testers or are you doing it all in-house?

    Red Gun will have Game Center and achievements.
    We have betatesters already, but we may need in the future. If so, we will post it in TA forums and let you know :)

    Could I make a suggestion - Could you please add bosses, that have certain weak points - like House of the Dead ? I like on rails games they fun, but I love it when its more than simply click anywhere on bad guy kind of thing, more precision aiming ? And if possible could you add random good people that if you kill you lose health ?

    A number of questions :)

    How will reloading be done ? Automatically, tilt the phone back and up (this was a disaster in the first Time Crisis), or ...? :)

    Is it a story game ? Or a score game like Rage ?

    And the aiming is it tilt based like rage or touch the enemy ? Both are really cool, but it depends on the game you creating which one works better

    Will all enemies die in one shot or some require two or three ?

    Sounds like we have a Sega games lover :)
    For now we are not adding bosses with weak poits because it is really hard and frustrating to aim in a small region of an iPhone screen :( So we have choosen not to reward that much precision, but speed.

    ________________________________________


    About reloading, it's a question we love to answer. To reload, you just need to slide on the screen. Red Stanton will crouch and reload.

    It is a story game. But the story Red Stanton tells is not that much about what you are playing in Episode 1... can't tell more for now.

    Well, it depends on difficulty level, but there is no enemy that dies in 1 shot. The main idea in Red Gun is to play the gun fights that you see in western films. Many enemies, that hide behind obstacles to reload like you, and many bullets flying around.

    Well hopefully I will be a Red Gun lover soon to :D that is a clever choice, I noticed in Time Crisis the precision is a bit of an issue :) it will be interesting to see how the whole game plays WOOO :)

    Ah wow the slide idea is cool, like throwing the revolver to the side, its cool :)

    Please dont give the story away :) the lack of story, for me, is what stopped Rage from being an amazing game

    I think it will be very nice, cause the gun only has 6 shots, and enemies take more than one shot to die, so it will be quite exciting esp on more difficult levels. Is there a time limit, similar to Time Crisis -sorry I didn see one in screenshots

    Hello Theunis.
    There is no time limit. You can take your time to complete the level. But you get higher score if you hit more enemies between reloadings. This means, that if you shot only one bullet and then take cover, you get lot less score than if you shot 6 bullets (and hit 6 enemies).
    In fact, if you make 6 hits in a row -caution, spoiler comming- you get extra magazine (so you have 12 bullets)

    That is a clever spin on the game I like that so not only do you get rewarded in score but in extra magazines to :)

    That's actually a great system because if you want to play at a slower pace without losing you can, but if you want to get a higher score you can speed things up. Really like that. Do you guys have a general time frame for when you're shooting to release this?

    Our goal is before Xmas. Which means submitting long before December 23th because Apple has more holydays than us (and those days they will have more work than us!) :D

    We should not be that optimistic officially. So lets say "when it's done" like Duke guys.

    Yes, there is a boss. I say there is because the game release includes the first episode, Bucksin. Bucksin is an abandoned Gold Rush town, the first place Red Stanton breaks in with his Colt.

    There will be more episodes released for free.

    Just found this preview, but in russian...
    Nothing really new, except for the screenshots (used google translate)
    do you have any other preview better than a russian preview?
