iPad 3 - not all hi res - 10/7/2012 10:53:52 AM

Hello - I'm mostly delighted with the iPad edition of Empire, but I do have an iPad 3 and anything not in "retina" resolution basically looks blurry.

I've noticed that almost all body text in landscape is in low-res, so I've had to switch to portrait mode, and then rotate the iPad when watching a trailer.

However in the latest issue, there are a bunch of text areas in low res even in portrait: i.e. Girls of Total Recall, The New Robocop, and the left hand box on the Paul Verhoeven interview.

Are these deliberate (to do with the scrolling?) or overlooked? If the former, I'd strongly suggest a different interface method which allows for full resolution.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Lee,

Sigh, our fault entirely. We updated the issue to correct a mistake and the retina version went offline. if you delete and redownload you should get the correct one (it should be around 800mb)

Interestingly, most text will look crisp even if you're viewing the SD version as it scales with the screen (it's a vector). Scrolling text is rasterised, however, and that looks dreadful scaled up. The picures look bad when scaled also.
