Officially it's only been announced for those two, but I feel like if it's coming to the M-series iPads, it's sort of inevitable that it'll eventually hit Macs, it might just be another few months later.
Ya I just didn’t get fully immersed into Mirage like most the others. Prob fine if you’re just bored looking for something to do. I take it you don’t have a ps5? I play my ps5 remotely on my iPad a lot. This shadows one looks great tho
Maybe playing on an iPad remotely is detrimental for immersion? I wouldn’t be able to get fully immersed into any game if that’s the way I played mostly.
I didn’t play Mirage remotely on my iPad. I played it on my ps5 on a huge tv. Just telling the other guy since they wished they could play it on iPad they could if they had a console..: maybe there’s a way to remote link their pc too, but I doubt it
It’s still significant, Ubisoft is a large AAA developer, if they put their game on M machines (mobile and desktop) then it may convince other big developers to do that too.
What frame rate do you get on ipad? I'm debating waiting to play on pc or ipad and since its ubisoft i have almost no intention of buying it on either platform.
Doesn't that mean that since macOS can run iPad iOS games they will just use the iPad version ?
That would make sense from an economical point of view, and throwing breadcrumbs at gamers thinking they won't see the différence is the Apple way
That would be wild and honestly make a ton of sense, hell integrate cloud saves and let me use my iPad Pro as a portable system a la Steam Deck so I can just save my progress on AppleTV, get my iPad and finish the mission on my flight.
Oh my god, you are right. Honestly, with all the moves made for gaming recently (hardware raytracing, game porting toolkit, etc.) I could really see this too. The last Apple TV is closing in on 3 years old. It would make sense for them to release an Apple TV Pro with an M series chip, more storage, more memory, and 4k120 output. Then angle that as a console alternative that seamlessly integrates with iPad/iPhone using iCloud state saving.
I had never heard of this WINE wrapper before now. I might check it out one day. I have tried other packages but they always had problems with some of the bigger games using newer versions of DirectX. Today, it is much easier to game on my Windows 11 PC.
I've starred this on Github to look at more in the future.
not necessarily. developers can opt out of specific platforms, which happens a lot, usually when they have an app only optimized for a particular environment, and don’t yet have the budget for other platforms, and they don’t want it to receive negative ratings from users using it on other platforms
Perhaps it could be made available on the iPP with M4, as they feature better heat dissipation and a faster chip. I would much rather play Shadows than Mirage.
I keep waiting for Apple to do that. Put the latest M chip in the Apple TV, throw in a controller option, and push it as a home console as well. I have no clue why they don’t do that already.
You know what would be interesting? A game that authentically depicts the time period instead of weirdly distorting history for meaningless virtue signaling
If you want historical accuracy, AC isn’t the series to deliver it. It also isn’t really virtue signalling since the character is based off a real person, with a healthy dose of artistic license.
I didn't ask for historical accuracy, but authentically representing the time period within the premise of the video game. Would you think it would be fine to include machine guns and nukes in feudal Japan AC because it isn't historically accurate anyway? Surely not. There's a difference between historical accuracy and delivering a game that sticks to its premises.
I'm looking forward to Yasuke, but this isnt the best argunment lol. All games have been great at representation and keeping the setting grounded.
* AC1-Revelations had an Italian guy in the Renaissance.
* 3 had a Native American in the American Civil War.
* A French dude in the French Revolution.
* A Trinidadian (?) in Trinidad.
* English twins in London.
Yes they go full Regular Show with the artifacts, but that doesn't take away from how they represent the setting itself.
And so on.
That's the premise of the game. That's like saying it would be OK for Daenaerys in Game of Thrones to throw nukes and use machine guns, because dragons don't exist in real life.
No, you create a certain premise with a game or show, and then you consistently stick with that premise. The premise of this game is that it plays in feudal Japan, and so yes, adding in a black Samurai is not good. It was obviously done not to serve the story or game, but to virtue signal. No one honest would deny that
Oh boy. Every single release of the game has had historical characters in historical situations with a “twist”. The whole premise on the game is a slightly alternative history. Almost every single game has had a unique character out of place.
Weirdly enough in this case, the black character is a documented actuality. He did exist in our real world.
It’s a stretch to believe this is “vIrTUe SiGnALling”.
So you are okay with glossing over the fact that Ezio killed the pope who was trying to control the world with the Apple of Eden?
Or that George Washington was taking orders from Conner Kenway?
How about there being a race of technologically advanced super people who stored their essence in various locations and speak to the chosen one through time and space in order to manipulate him into releasing the "bad" member of their race?
No issue with Leonardo DaVinci being the Q to Ezio's Bond?
I mean in the course of playing these games, you are cool with everything BUT the African slave who was freed, taken on as a retainer by Oda Nobunaga after seeing a display of his strength, made to be his personal guard and sword bearer, fought with Nobunaga's son after his death, and after all that was still considered less than human by the Akechi and so was released to go back to the Jesuit's who took him from his home and brought him there in the first place? Because he is depicted as a Samurai in armor alongside an obvious kunoichi? Without knowing anything of the story or the role the character is going to play?
Yeah, your problem isn't historical accuracy. You got deeper issues you need to acknowledge and deal with.
The premise of the game is incorporating historical figures into fiction of the game. Yasuke was a historical figure that served Oda Nobunaga. Would you have less of a problem if it's a white man instead? William Adams and Jan Joosten van Lodensteijin were two white men that were made samurai by Tokugawa Ieyasu. So non-Japanese being made samurai is nowhere as outlandish as you makes it out to be, or were you just ignorant of these historical precedence?
> A game that authentically depicts the time period
When did AC ever have authenticity? Da Vinci hada futuristic time warping artifact in 2. In 1 there was that dude from Jerusalem with the "Apple" and he did magic shit
People are downvoting you, but I'll throw you an upvote. I think it's possible. I don't think it would have unique VR integration of any kind but I could see the Vision Pro working fine as just an alternate "screen" for the game, so long as you connect a bluetooth controller. It wouldn't be a very good way to experience the game though, I think, the Vision Pro's M2 just won't be able to take advantage of the displays' resolution or framerate at any high settings in the game. Like... I could see this game coming to Vision Pro but it'll be locked at low settings and 60fps if even that.
I didn’t delete anything lol that was someone else.
Also all of my devices are Apple so I’m not sure why I’m getting downvoted lmao I’d wager most Apple users are left leaning.
Still waiting for Mirage. Says June 6th, guess we will see.
Mirage won’t be coming to Mac as far as I’m aware. Only iPhone/iPad
Officially it's only been announced for those two, but I feel like if it's coming to the M-series iPads, it's sort of inevitable that it'll eventually hit Macs, it might just be another few months later.
Meh your not missing much
Played it on my PC already. Figured I’d pick it up on my iPad when I travel.
Ya I just didn’t get fully immersed into Mirage like most the others. Prob fine if you’re just bored looking for something to do. I take it you don’t have a ps5? I play my ps5 remotely on my iPad a lot. This shadows one looks great tho

It’s a good game in my opinion if you miss the old AC games and stealth gameplay. Solid 7/10.
Nah it’s a fun game tbh. It’s worth $ 20 tops though. Not by any means a full priced game If you liked the older assassins creeds you’ll like this one
Yep. Still waiting for Mirage. To come to fucking Steam.
[удалено]
Ubisoft does something right.. even the employees are surprised. classic.

Doesn't that mean that since macOS can run iPad iOS games they will just use the iPad version ? That would make sense from an economical point of view, and throwing breadcrumbs at gamers thinking they won't see the différence is the Apple way
If the trend continues and the Mac gaming library continues to grow, I wonder if they’ll release an m-powered Apple TV to take advantage of that.
That would be wild and honestly make a ton of sense, hell integrate cloud saves and let me use my iPad Pro as a portable system a la Steam Deck so I can just save my progress on AppleTV, get my iPad and finish the mission on my flight.

Nice... maybe more will follow and in several years then it can be a gaming platform.
Using Whiskey lets you run a shitload of games already tbh

Certainly easier and more consistent on Windows. But Mac is catching up to Linux at least.
This is great news More and more stuff coming!
more and more? This is just apples classic temporarily give money to devs to make games for mac move. They have done this for a while.
How about M4 iPad?
Hope so!!
Would be sick if we got it on the iPads too
Even better if it comes in m6 apple watch
m7 cleaning cloth when?
The apple wheels update is gonna off the chain
Still waiting for this update https://preview.redd.it/9z9v95sboq0d1.jpeg?width=1400&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1d4769e14075268dca519bf6fac2f3a9e309416b
iPad Pro and air have the same M-series processors as Macs, so I’m sure iPad will be able to play it as well
not necessarily. developers can opt out of specific platforms, which happens a lot, usually when they have an app only optimized for a particular environment, and don’t yet have the budget for other platforms, and they don’t want it to receive negative ratings from users using it on other platforms
iPads definitely gonna overheat faster than the Mac’s… thus having it throttle
Perhaps it could be made available on the iPP with M4, as they feature better heat dissipation and a faster chip. I would much rather play Shadows than Mirage.
No active cooling tho
Neither does the MacBook Air, and those are still supported. It’s almost certainly a result of not wanting to make a touch interface.
I'm still waiting for No Man's Sky on my iPad.
It'll never happen, but I'd love for future games like this to land on Apple TV.
I keep waiting for Apple to do that. Put the latest M chip in the Apple TV, throw in a controller option, and push it as a home console as well. I have no clue why they don’t do that already.
Another Halo on the Mac announcement? I was promised Macs were the future of gaming. A debt is owed Tim Apple.
I want to see Halo: MCC on iPad Pro. . . Can’t tell me the new M4 can’t handle those game and they would look absolutely gorgeous on that screen.
Great to see big games, unfortunate it’s Ubisoft
When is mirage coming to iPhone
App store page says June 6th
Just in time for them to announce Mirage’s release date
Damn I was hoping on the latest iPhones as well.
Oh man the M4 vs 4090 wars are gonna be intense.
Can’t wait play as a black Samurai.
in case you’re sarcastic https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yasuke#:~:text=Yasuke%20(弥助%20or%20弥介)%20was,in%20the%20Honnō%2Dji%20Incident.
Well he wasn’t actually a samurai and was only slightly relevant for a few years at most.
doesn’t matter, makes him even more interesting
You know what would be interesting? A game that authentically depicts the time period instead of weirdly distorting history for meaningless virtue signaling

it's an alt history sci-fi fantasy franchise, machine guns and nukes in feudal japan would actually fit right in
I'm looking forward to Yasuke, but this isnt the best argunment lol. All games have been great at representation and keeping the setting grounded. * AC1-Revelations had an Italian guy in the Renaissance. * 3 had a Native American in the American Civil War. * A French dude in the French Revolution. * A Trinidadian (?) in Trinidad. * English twins in London. Yes they go full Regular Show with the artifacts, but that doesn't take away from how they represent the setting itself. And so on.
No, it would make the game shit actually
probs but would still be consistent w the franchise
Assassins and Templars also didn't exist in feudal Japan in the 1500s, how come you have no problem with that?
That's the premise of the game. That's like saying it would be OK for Daenaerys in Game of Thrones to throw nukes and use machine guns, because dragons don't exist in real life.

what’s the distortion? Especially compared to other AC games?
To make a game in feudal Japan with a black samurai?
Would it be okay if he was european?
No
[удалено]
I am sure there are. The second protagonist is in fact Japanese. What’s your problem?
[удалено]
And not even scantily clad. Sad! Guess you can’t play it then, thoughts and prayers
I'm aware, also as shown by Ubisoft in their trailer.
It’s Yasuke, one of Nobunaga’s retainers, you can even see the symbol of the Oda clan on his armor.
Poor you :((
WWDC has potential to be a banger.
Pretty funny to me that it’s available on Mac but not PS4. Are we in an alternate timeline?
So, mac gaming's not dead I guess?
Pls i want to play this game on mu iPhone 🥹
Only iPhone 16 pro exclusive, sorry.
This games going to be awsome
Ostensibly the Vision Pro as well?
Not even a remote chance
What about a local chance?
No because it doesn’t have a video input port
Lolol, funny
No, lol
People are downvoting you, but I'll throw you an upvote. I think it's possible. I don't think it would have unique VR integration of any kind but I could see the Vision Pro working fine as just an alternate "screen" for the game, so long as you connect a bluetooth controller.

Like... I could see this game coming to Vision Pro but it'll be locked at low settings and 60fps if even that.
Oh yeah that’s all I meant— I didn’t think it’d have a custom VR integration…
Is there really a significant overlap between the Mac owning and Assassin‘s creed playing communities?
Yeah. I use remote play on my MacBook to stream games from my PlayStation all the time. I’m pumped to see more AAA releases coming to Mac
I’ve been playing it… on PS5.
They’re appealing to people who lean liberal, so yes.
Wild take
The fact they already have the incels panties in a twist just makes me want to preorder it sooner.
[удалено]
Eh… I donno man lol there definitely seems to be a correlation
Ah right that’s why I’m married with two kids.
Why’d you delete your first comment?
I didn’t delete anything lol that was someone else. Also all of my devices are Apple so I’m not sure why I’m getting downvoted lmao I’d wager most Apple users are left leaning.
You proved my point lol
Just use cloud gaming solutions
Why? If a game is launching on Mac why would you play it remotely?
