Can attest to this, having finished a full playthrough... even getting the DCU. :)

Much more authentic experience and the controls allow for some really cool and flexible hybrid touch+virtual stick approaches.

Update from Pipeworks;

Legacy Save Conversion: We're aware of a bug that is preventing you from converting your saves. Please note that even after conversion we create a untouched backup of your worlds. DON'T delete your worlds. As soon as we have a fix implemented we'll let you know.

Can absolutely say that split screen will be there - played it yesterday.

Said this in another thread, but will repeat it here:

The silence is there because it's necessary. Clearly we are not so dense to say that and then knowingly plan to go quiet again. ;). We also would really rather wait until any potential news/info is solid before sharing - even then, "stuff happens", but it at least lessens the odds.

As Cenx said on her profile on TCF - when we have something solid and ready to say, we absolutely will. It's not that we don't get - and appreciate - the strong desire for more info....it's that info isn't quite ready to share.

All we can do is apologize for the unfortunate scenario that creates this "double silence" dynamic - it's not by design or something we want. Hopefully it is also something we can rectify soon. :)

Thanks to you all for your continued patience and support regardless, and hopefully the end result will be worth the wait - we will certainly do all that we can to make certain this is the case. :)
