‘Machinarium’ to support iPad 2, not iPad

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: Omni-movement culminates 30 years of FPS innovation

Black Ops 6 is officially here, bringing the innovative new Omni-movement system to the game. While on the surface a relatively simple change, I argue that Treyarch intimately studied DOOM and the past 30 years of first-person shooter evolution to craft one of the most satisfying gameplay systems yet.

  1. 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
