Title: Ponyville app
Post by: Galactica on October 16, 2012, 05:37:43 PM: http://kotaku.com/5951995/the-my-little-pony-friendship-is-magic-video-game-screenshots-are-here (http://kotaku.com/5951995/the-my-little-pony-friendship-is-magic-video-game-screenshots-are-here)

Sorry if someone has posted about this already- but I didn't see anything.

It sort of looks like a Farmville kind of game? - I kind of hope not- as the whole in-app purchasing thing is totally enraging and ridiculously expensive...

Can't find it on my iPad :(

Post by: gabumon on October 16, 2012, 09:26:52 PM: I'm very excited for this:

1) I love the art. Even though the faces aren't 100% matching the show, I love them. 2) They have "official" names for all the background ponies, including "Magnum", Rarities dad! and 3) It's FREE!!!!

That ball bouncing game with Sweetie Belle is adorable!

Edit: Is IS free right? I thought I read that....

Well, if they make it iOS6 only, I don't know what to make of it. Do parents really give their children the latest iPad, even though it costs almost two thousand dollars a pop? That's not cool!

Seriously, that's how much an iPad costs over here in Malaysia. I had to take out a loan to buy mine!

The IPad2 was only $500 I seem to recall- the ipads and phones (that I know of) updated automatically when i056 launched (since mapquest disappeared- boo hooo!)

The art is really good and high quality! It is funny that the ponies are the size of houses- but they look great :D

Nope. My first-gen iPad isn't going to see iOS6 :yikes: I've already talked to Apple about it, they won't budge. Something about hardware design oversight :(

Post by: gabumon on October 18, 2012, 08:50:40 AM: and my iPhone 3G will never get iOS6. Here's hoping the app works on the old stuff!

Post by: hathorcat on October 18, 2012, 04:03:03 PM: Ponies sure are getting everywhere...I guess a game based app for them was inevitable. I have seen a lot of write ups and expectation over this so I really hope it lives up to it!
Title: Re: Ponyville app
Post by: Galactica on October 18, 2012, 05:05:01 PM: My phone updated - I actually don't recall which one it is- I think maybe a 4? It is wicked slow though... probably too many games on it. I hope it can fit another!

Post by: PhyllieBean on October 19, 2012, 08:05:54 AM: Dude, I hope it's not only iOS6!! I'm holding out on upgrading my phone until the stupid maps app stops sucking! Nopt willing to give up my GoogleMaps just yet. Honestly, it makes me glad I'll get to continue my glorious iOS5 days on with my first gen iPad! Lol!

Post by: Galactica on October 19, 2012, 08:14:53 AM: I am really bummed about the map thing too- I HATE Apple's maps-

I had heard you can still download googlemaps or mapquest as an app though- so I will do that if it is possible...

Well, there's Google Earth for the iPad. Problem is, 1: For some odd reason, it's US-only (I had to create a US account to get it), and 2: who knows how long it'll continue to support iOS5 :(

Post by: PhyllieBean on October 19, 2012, 09:24:56 AM: Yeah, I think most people are just pulling up Google Maps in their browser now. I don't have that kind of time! Sooper buzy n important ovah heah!
