TheZag Posted July 2, 2023 Share Posted July 2, 2023 (edited) Thats an entirely different system and multiple different systems at that. They would have to make the computer version and multiple phone versions. I can only imagine touch screen controls on a small screen would suck in addition to the game only getting updates every 2 years since they would have to code it 4 times. And that the devs might not even be trained on developing for phones. Edited July 2, 2023 by TheZag 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrAxe Posted July 2, 2023 Share Posted July 2, 2023 Aside from the massive hurdles (time alone) the UI elements would be far too small. Would be a pain in the arse to play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mjolnerd Posted July 3, 2023 Share Posted July 3, 2023 It's a two-decade-old game with an all-volunteer dev team who are still pumping out regular updates and allowing us all to play for free.

Tock Posted July 3, 2023 Share Posted July 3, 2023 Shortest answer: the game engine was made in 2004. It is not as simple as modern games on a modern Developer Kit where compiling a mobile build is built in. The engine was made before Android and iOS. Massive undertaking for a handful of folks to enjoy. (And even if it did happen, zero chance of being in the Play Store or App Store, same as Steam.) If you really insist on playing by phone, get used to remote play and using Bluetooth controllers/keyboard and mouse... which is still 2 devices engaged with playing a single game. Inactive account.

Mjolnerd Posted July 4, 2023 Share Posted July 4, 2023 Just another reason the failure of the Windows Phone is such a tragedy. Which brings the total number of reasons to... one. Wait, just the one? Kevin, is this right? It is? Well... still tragic. 1 2 Formerly of Virtue, now on Excelsior: Ace of Spades | Adamant Eve | Arch-Rival | The Bee | Blackbelt | Citizen Arcane | Core | Ctrl Alt Defeat | Daddy Longlegs | Diamant | Freak Accident | Galactrix | Great White Shark Heavy Machinery | Highway Star | The Howl | Inter-Galactica | Ion Maiden | Knockout Artist | Krakatoa | Night's Templar | The Pact | Paroled McDonald | Virtual Boy | Volcaniac | White Widow | Yucatan And my most recent 50, Cyber-Security (Shield Defense/Street Justice tanker, 16 March 2024) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not only is CoH a heavily keyboard-reliant game, but the text and such would be extremely small. I had a GPD Win a while back, and I was able to get CoH to run on it, (using the -usetexenvcombine command), it just wasn't a very pleasant experience due to the small screen. The smallest I would say you could play the game on that I found confortable was an 11.6" laptop... Edited July 4, 2023 by biostem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

High_Beam Posted July 5, 2023 Share Posted July 5, 2023 (edited) The fact that you cant play it on a phone is awesome. I wish more things resisted the urge to go stupid like that.

Scarlet Shocker Posted July 5, 2023 Share Posted July 5, 2023 I would hate a phone version of this game - with the caveat that a) building a character in the costume creator might be fun while not at your desktop b) trading in the AH might be useful But that said, I don't think either of those options are necessary or particularly valuable so I'm quite happy with how the game is currently. To my mind, updated character models would be far more preferable. The Ghost Slaying Axe. The very best there is. When you absolutely, positively got to kill every motherspectre in the room, accept no substitutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
